Princess Garden (Mayfair)

• Usually enjoyed most with a group of people
• The word was that Princess Gardens is the closest place in London to have the standards of Hong Kong Dim Sum
• As soon you step inside the restaurant of Princess Gardens of Mayfair you are greeted with cool marble surfaces and a large bar to the left
• The Staff was very polite and attentive during my dining experience we was looked after by 5 different people
• My usual choice of tea with dim sum is to order &ldquo
• The first two plates that arrived were prawn salad dumplings and crispy won tons
• Both was perfect fried until it was crispy brown in colour
• The prawns were much flavoured and very generous in portion size
• The next 2 dishes were prawn cheung fun and paper prawns rolls
• AS you can see from the photo the pastry of the prawn cheung fun was glossy and had a great chewy texture
• I did found it odd the sauce was not poured on top and was served separately in a bowl
• The mango salad was very different to the norm
• The savoury croquette was much flavoured inside
• The outer coating was also fried to perfection and very bite crunched
• The following 4 dishes was my least favourite
• I only took one spoon as by then I was very full to even budge out of my seat
• The pudding was slightly bland
• The coconut milk was very creamy
• It came to us with the pastry still slightly uncooked
• Princess Garden is my favourite Chinese restaurant
• Some favourite dim sums of mine are the Shu Mai
• The interior is simple and sophisticated
• White table cloths and walls with Oriental touches
• Seabass and crispy duck are all spectacular
• The service at this restaurant is also unparalleled
• What lets this venue down is its decor and atmosphere
• The restaurant is very quiet
• We started with some crispy seaweed
• When coupled with some wine and duck wrap roles
• The only thing that was a let down was this restaurant would be the service
• The waiters were very slow and unresponsive
• Suggested by friends Princess Garden on North Audley Street is just 100meters from Selfridges
• ) The decor was rather sparce and not in line with the reputation Princess Garden (Mayfair) supposidly enjoys
• The Wonton noodle soup was standard but being hot was welcome to warm us up a bit
• Starters the Peking Dumplings were rather sticky and on serving brokeup before they reached the plate
• The Braised King Prawns in Garlic were a bit bland although of good size
• The diced chicken had a bit of flavour mostly due to the seasonings but the chicken itself was 'flat' tasting
• Were rather disappointed with the overall experience casual service and average food
• Princess Garden however is anything but cheap both in terms of the quality of the food and the price
• Steamed pork buns This was definitely my favourite dish the soft bun
• The juicy pork and the sweet sauce was just what I needed on a hungover Sunday
• S Flesh and Buns in Covent garden is a great place for this too
• Quite simple to make and as expected it was quite nice
• Sizzling Lamb in Spring Onion sauce This was made in a korean bulgogi style
• The lamb was perfectly cooked but my Asian tongue felt it was a little bland
• Something I really liked about Princess Garden (Mayfair) was the crowd definitely the most diverse crowd at any Asian Restaurant in London
• Went for a Chinese New Year dinner celebration with my fiancé
• Location was very good and the place is quite nice however the quality of food is nothing special
• One of our main courses was very bland that I had to ask them to replace it
• Probably one of the best Chinese food I ever had
• Started off with steamed scallops in a shell
• Specially when mixed with the spicy sauce
• We had lobster ginger and onion that was perfectly cooked and the mixture of ingredients made the lobster stand out
• We ordered tiger prawns with black beans and green pepper
• Everything was great from the warm reception to the friendly waiter
• Still is one of the best bold Chinese eateries in London
• We had bean curd goose for cold starters which was below average
• Then we had salt and pepper tofu which was good or the only thing good
• Presentation and service was nothing great
• Overall experience 3 but because the service was bad too half point cut
• Delicious Chinese with an air of authenticity
• The portions are somewhat small but not the taste
• Prawns Szechuan were tasty and simple
• The green tea ice cream was just a okay
• Great Chinese food that is cooked to perfection
• The dishes were extremely small
• The spring rolls are scrumptious
• The main courses are superb and I never leave hungry or disappointed
• The quality is at its best
• The dim sum selection was way better than the so called Szechuan dish
