Chinese restaurants in London come in all shapes and sizes. The big ‘get the gang together for Sichuan pork’ ones. The bougie ones where you can take your nicest shirt out for a date with exceptional dim sum. And the tiny, intimate ones that you hit up time and time again when the rain has given you the perfect excuse for some liangpi noodles. 

Although Cantonese cuisine has been the prevailing mainstream view of Chinese food in the UK in the past—and London does have some truly great Cantonese restaurants—this city also has a variety of regional cuisines on offer and the spots serving them are getting more deserved recognition. Find all of the very best options in this guide.
