Park Chinois (Mayfair)

• Park Chinois is Alan Yau&rsquo
• Ve neither been to Shanghai nor lived in the 20s but I imagine this is exactly what it&rsquo
• I was a vegetarian and my friend was not so we tried both
• The setting and atmosphere was so romantic
• I liked that it was sophisticated
• We felt very special while we were there throughout the whole evening
• Both food and drinks menu were very exciting and we ended up having two rounds of cocktails each
• Cocktail which were both great
• The mysterious pink cocktail was called &lsquo
• It was certainly the best cocktail we tried from the menu
• Above it hung a notice with the words 'On Air'
• It was more my type of place with 1920's Shanghai glam with live jazz music and elegant glitzy setting
• It's exclusive with heavy doors without any big flashy sign outside
• I felt as though I was really transported to the glitzy
• I ordered the steamed egg pudding with dried scallops and anchovies
• Main I asked the waiter for a recommendation and he said tge Angus beef steak with black bean sauce was very good and popular
• It was honestly my top best 3 Ive ever had
• Re married to a person who started eating Chinese food when he was only a few weeks old
• The only way to make more of what could be a pretty dull trip to the same restaurant each year is to find the newest
• The dining room is one of my favorites in London
• Food I think is a touch below quality wise with Yau's other Chinese ventures
• While attempting to be more innovative with certain dishes
• Some clocking in at over 30 quid) are near extortionate though
• Baked char siu bao (7/10) There is an immense amount of skill in the baked dim sum here
• Perhaps the sugar used to obtain that crunch is what keeps it from being perfect though
• (My favorite incarnation of these are at Yauatcha
• The pastry was immensely buttery
• I thought this too was a bit sweet though
• (5/10) I thought this was a bit lacking in intensity
• The filling of the dumpling was flavorful and moist and the roe placed atop the dumplings added a satisfying bite of salt and unique texture
• The dish is filled with little dried shrimp and nduja sausage
• I'm paying top dollar and the bulk of the plate is filled with large pieces of uncooked
• (4/10) The crab and the noodles were both wonderful
• The noodles and crab were both too similar in texture
• I think the consistency of food is higher at the list of Yau establishments at the top of this review
• The ambiance is not something to be missed and the food really does attempt and often times succeed to stand out from Yau's other restaurants
• The restaurant upstairs is more formal dining
• The dim sums were average chilly one better
• The ambience and decor is very warm and charming
• The service is excellent and professional with the exception of the guys at entrance who treat you as if they have done you a favour to accept you in spite of having a reservation
• Some dishes stand out (the ribs for example) some are good (crispy duck rolls)
• While others are just ok (the Wagyu beef)
• Not all dishes are Chinese though
• Some are Japanese (soft shell crab) and others are Thai (shrimp curry)
• The ground floor is more of a fancy/fine dining with staff in white uniforms and a jazz band in the middle of the restaurant however
• The lower ground is more of a club oriented restaurant but with the same menu
• This is how every person is treated in Park Chinois
• The salad was extremely delicious with all of the cheese
• The roll was fried to perfection and the duck was cooked perfectly
• The chicken was of high quality and it was mouthwatering
• The sauce that came with it was so light
• I fell in love with the salad that came under it
• I didn't taste it because it was too hard and too cold
• Hence was happy to try Park Chinois (Mayfair) look the dim sum is really good (try the shrimp its a house favourite)
• The crowd maybe is over the top but thats Mayfair after all nowadays
• I was not very impressed with their vegetarian selection
• What great food and the duck was outstanding and the steam wild sea bass and the park carbonara
• The food was pretty nice and we had some great wines (although the wine list is on the ridiculously expensive side compared to other restaurants of this quality
• You are likely to be greeted by a colorful character with just as much personality as the restaurant itself
• PC has a lively atmosphere with down tempo music
• All the stops were taken out to ensure my visit would be a memorable one for all of the right reasons
• Quickly locating my reservation with ease and showing me through to the upstairs dinning area
• Starting the evening at the bar (as I was very early
• I was seated and welcomed and enjoyed friendly conversations with the bar staff whilst sipping on a delicious and well put together Espresso Martini
• Accompanied with bar nibbles
• A bottle of complimentary rose champagne was delivered to enjoy with the meal
• The wine glasses that were not in use
• Are some of the best ribs that I have experienced
• This was a show stopping dish that is brought to the table
• Presented to you with an explanation of the ingredients all before being carefully mixed together
• Then plated for you with delicate precision
• The pancetta was deliciously smoky and the organic egg tasted fantastic
• Park Chinois is an opulent and glamorous venue
• This colourfully done restaurent on two floors is on Berkeley street
• This 300 plus seater is immensely popular since it's inception about 2 years
• Worth another visit at dinner time with 500 guests swooning to music and great cocktails
• The food (they have the best duck ever)
• I really hope it opens in Dubai soon with the same concept
• The place has a wonderful interior however the staff are rude and not friendly
• I did like the vegetable dumpling and the sweet and sour chicken is beyond delicious
• We were a group of four and who were super excited to go here cause of the buzz about the place
• We were welcomed in by this cocky guy who though he was too good to be a doorman
• Tried to give him a compliment cause he was wearing cool shoes
• Anyways we entered and they were quite cold at the enterance
• The only good part was the lady manager
• Terrible food extremely greasy and portions are so small for what they charge
• Not a patch on hakkasan which is right next door
• Appetizers were Wagyu Gyozas and Chilli chicken
• The mains we ordered the Beef rib and the Rice pot with Black Truffle
• May need to come back here with a bigger group to try more
• Dinner and a show this is the place to be
• Amazing interior with exotic notes that welcomes you from the entrance through the powdering room
• Absolutely one of the best places to be in London
• The food is always amazing along with the ambiance
• Go for the duck pecking it is a must have I don&rsquo
• Caviar selection is great and pretty much not a place to worry about dieting
• Their signature duck dish which was super tasty
• The rest of the food were all very good
• Park chinois is one of my favorite restaurants in london
• Their truffle rice is a must try
• Reservation is necessary as it is generally fully booked
