Gerrard's Corner (Chinatown)

• The resaurant is spacious and quiet
• The lunch menu is extensive and something of a lottery to the uninitiated as the menu's English translations are not entirely clear
• As the kitchen is quick enough that more items can be ordered during the meal
• Some nice dim sum and crispy duck with seaweed Yum
• The service was good and the food arrived at the right timings
• The servings were quite generous too
• The place very popular with both tourist and locals
• London but I think this is the best so far
• The custard buns were absolutely delicious
• Fried dough cheung fan was surprisingly good for such a simple dish
• Their Dim Sum is famous for being mouth watering and delicious
• The atmosphere is good and the restaurant is normally buzzing with people
• Tom and I came here for a bit of food on a Monday night and it was very lively
• All washed down with some Chinese tea
• Ribs two prawn crackers and two satays (in theory one for each person) which is not clarified properly by the waiter
• The bill ( service charge included) does not come with a breakdown either unless you ask
• This little restaurant is my favorite spot for a bit of steamed dumpling action
• My favorite is probably the most simple item pan fried turnip paste
• Turnip paste and shrimps are minced together and then fried until there is a nice crispy crust on the outside
• The closest I could describe the taste is like&hellip
• Another old favorite is prawn Cheung Fung
• Whole prawns wrapped in a steamed rice roll with a sweet soya sauce drizzled on top
• The lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice is good here called Lo Mai Gai
• Dried shrimp and chinese mushrooms are wrapped in a parcel of sticky rice and then wrapped again in a dried lotus leaf and steamed
• They do a chicken and mushroom version that is to die for as well
• Gerard's Corner is an institution thoroughly recommend a visit
• The waitress brought us a sheet so we could order by ticking off items which was very different from the trolley experience in Sydney
• The dumplings in spicy sauce was delicious and the spiciness didn't overpower the dish
• Rice noodle with fired bean curd skin and prawns
• The beef balls were okay but far from what I had at other places
• Gerrard's Corner is your no nonsense standard Cantonese restaurants in China Town
• The wok fried noodle dishes are generally pretty decent and so are the soup based noodle bowls
• As quality wise are not near as good as other restaurants nearby
• Crispy duck is very tasteful
• TThe apetizzers were great and the food itself very tasty
• They have set menus from 16 pounds per person wich is very cheap for london
• The platter is quite huge with salad and pancakes well presented and the price is not bad for what they offer
• Both of us were happy with their meal
• The Interior is quite normal but the food matters
• The duck was spectacular just watching it being sliced was an art in itself
• We were late for a dinner in chinatown and hence thought to go to any budget chinese restaurant and gerrads corner was our destination
• The veg chowmein was tasty but oily
• The fired peking pork dumpling were also worth trying
• One of the waiters was attentive enough to refill our teapot without having to ask
• Everything was served piping hot
• Our order of quarter crispy duck with pancakes was the first item to arrive
• Cheung fun with deep fried dough stick was very good
• The dough sticks are the Chinese savory doughnuts that inspired the Spanish to invent churros
• The dumpling skin was pleasant but not exquisitely stretchy and thin
• Vegetarian dumplings were tasty but difficult to eat
• Beef balls with dried bean curd pastry were not a dumpling
• This turned out to be a stir fry of chunks of turnip cake on a bed of cooked beansprouts and green onion with dried shrimp and XO
• A big lunch for two (we brought home leftovers) washed down with Chinese tea came to £
• Because there were one or two
• He basically assaulted it with a fork and spoon
• Ve ever eaten (and I once had it in Mexico served with corn tortillas instead of pancakes
• This restaurant is horrendous
• I give this restaurant 0 stars they are EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPLEASANT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS
• I am American and this was the worst part of my trip
• It took me 10 minutes to receive my bubble tea I ordered and when I got it the cup was filled Half way
• It was awful with a bitter taste
• It took me forever to send it back because no one came over to check on my table and everyone has rude looks on their faces when I was trying to stop them
• When I finally asked to send it back the waiter went and told every waiter and staff in the kitchen and they were all talking about it out loud and looking at me
• The waiter than came over and argued with me about it for 10 minutes and was extremely rude
• You do not argue with a customer if I do not like it I do not have to pay for it
• I will go back to Yi Ban in east London near the royal docks they have the best Chinese in London
