The Good Earth

We have been eating at this restaurant and using their take-away service for about 10 years. Only been let down once and they were very apologetic and quick to recompense us.

Excellent service from interested and knowledgeable staff; well managed. Food is very well prepared and without the dreaded MSG!

A little bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

Ask for a table on the Ground floor; the basement is a bit depressing.

Highly recommended.

We fancied going out for a chinese on Saturday night so headed down to old family favourite "The Good Earth" in Knightsbridge. I have lots of fond memories of going there as a kid for crispy duck and my father always insisting we had a round table. We have tried to go there a couple of times recently but it has been full which is a good sign.

We booked in advance and had a nice table for two upstairs. The restaurant is pretty much as it has always been but the bar has been re-done to accomadate those waiting and to accomodate extra diners. Service was friendly and efficient, we went for our usual mix of starters and a couple of main dishes with egg fried rice and Singapore noodles. The food was excellent, really tasty not huge portions but all very filling. I washed it down with a perfectly adequate glass of Shiraz and some nice green tea.

The bill came to £80 for two which I thought was going some. We hadn't had loads and only I was drinking so I thought it wasn't fantastic value for money. However the food was very good and the restaurant full. We will definitely go back again but I do feel if it has priced itself out of being the family restaurant I knew and loved.

Went to the Good Earth on the previous recommendations and to say we were impressed is an understatement.

The establishment was well laid out & clean.

The service was outstanding, very attentive & polite.

The food was exceptional, having been to numerous Chinese Restaurants over the years, this was up there with the best.

If you are in the Knightsbridge area, pop in you will not be disappointed.
