My wife and I dined at Min Jiang for the view that is worthwhile. Most of our fellow diners were Americans judging from accents. However, the food is mediocre with the famous Peking duck being average in my experience, not really better than an average Chinese fast food restaurant in America. With the exception of some pretty matchstick vegetables, the rest of the meal had bland flavors, including the prepared duck dish, and tasted as if it had been prepared perhaps days before and rewarmed. The service is attentive and dishes come out quickly. The environment is dressy. Because the food’s mediocrity but beautiful views of the park, I suggest visiting for a drink in their comfortable lounge that affords the same view although the by-​the-​glass wine list is limited and cocktails are mediocre as well.

This is not your average Chinese restaurant. It has an excellent reputation among the Chinese community for its duck and when I visited there were more Chinese people in the restaurant than English, which was a good sign.
However, it’s not the food that this restaurant is most famous for. It’s the floor to ceiling view over Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. You can see the shard, the London eye, the BT tower and all the best known London landmarks. My date said its the sort of place your Grandma would like because old people appreciate a view. I kind of see where he’s coming from as it’s not a modern view like you get at The Shard or Galvin at Windows. The décor is a bit fussy and there are lots of Ming style vases everywhere.
The food is of a higher quality than your average Chinese but it’s of a higher price too. £5 for three little dumplings that are not at all filling. Pretty to look at, healthy, but not enough to satisfy a hunger. A chicken and cashew nut main course was £16 and I bet it would be £8 in my local. But the cost of rice was the biggest shock — £9 for vegetable egg fried rice and it goes up to £13 for seafood egg fried rice. How can rice be more than £5? You can share it between two people, but that’s one hell of a mark up.
That said, the service is excellent, the views are to die for and the high prices keep out the riff raff. Get your mum — or grandma — to take you for a special occasion!

I think two stars is generous, only because i feel bad for the bar and the wait staff who were great and the espresso martini I had was excellent.
However, the food was bland, the duck was bland despite being sixty squids. that’s right, SIX OH. Extortionate. The duck is split into two course, the starters which is your traditional Peking duck pancakes and a variety of pickles and your usual hoisin sauce, and the price also includes someone carving the duck in front of you, which isn’t so amazing when you’re already chinese. Also the duck wasn’t wow, especially since you get better duck for cheaper prices *cough*fourseasons*cough*. The only good part of that course was the duck pancakes which were suPAH thin like popiah skin. (Showing off my malaysian lingo now!)
But the second course duck was just weird– we ordered duck noodles but I could barely see or taste the duck and did they use nissin ramen noodles?!
The rest of the food was forgettable, and thats really sad for such an upmarket place– it’s got great views and great cocktails. And the portions were mean and small for the price paid. Okay, the concept of asian fusion desserts left me cold. I tried the pandan and salted caramel ice cream. The pandan was alright, but the salted caramel was just salt. The brownie cake with praline ice cream fared better, but at the end of the day, I could and have made a better brownie, and I really expected alot more from Min Jiang.

Min Jiang signature dish is their Beijing Duck and you have to pre order it in advance. We thought we pre-​ordered a whole duck during confirming the booking, but we were told that they didn’t have our pre order. However, they managed to serve us a whole Beijing Duck.
The duck is served in two courses, where the first serving consisted of the duck skin that you dip in sugar. The duck meat is served with pancake that we add hoi sin sauce and vegetable, or with garlic and pickle vegetable. Comparing with all the pancake serving ducks I have tried, I thought it was okay. But I found the duck fatty and I was not a fan of a thicker pancake. However it shows that the pancakes are homemade.
The second serving we have the option to choose how we want the rest of the duck to be cooked — fried rice, fried noodle, soup or as a lettuce wrap. We choice the fried noodle that would be more suitable for branch.
Along with the duck we also ordered some dim sum which I found average for London, especially for the price.
Although I only think the restaurant was okay, the view of Kensington Garden is beautiful. To enjoy the best of the view it would be in the day time so a place for lunch.

Have you ever been to China… this place wasn’t what I would think China to be like. But it’s exactly what I expect a Chinese restaurant to be like. It does have an incredible view over Kensington park in London and passes my test for bringing 7 – 10 star quality girls on a date to. 6 and below gets Panda Express and a movie. Come on still not a bad date. Anyways, the color scheme is that of a communist country which makes sense (red, black, white with pinches of yellow lighting). It also has many Chinese artifacts (China the glass wear is from China right?) making it an authentic Chinese restaurant. Separating the PF Food Chains from the Legit Chinese Spots. The service is a little slow but efficient. The smells you experience while your food is being prepared makes you want to steal food due to impatience. My impatience got the best of me as I took the first bite of my appetizer it burnt me but the taste said Dimmy sum more. The Dim Sum platter gets a gold star from me. The tofu dish was disappointing and even us freeloaders weren’t down to waste our stomach room for it. It had to much of a herbal taste possibly to much thyme. I loved my chicken dish, and my buddy PJ’s and the one the waiter accidentally brought us. The service seemed like there was a language barrier which in a strange way made it more authentic. I’d come here again especially since the record label put us in the same hotel for convenience and it’s in the exact same floor as my room. Ladies inquire in my room number later. Four stars for the food, quality and convenience, you lose a star for not being perfect and also a little pricy for my little pockets.

If you are looking for a high quality, elegant Chinese lunch or dinner with a view, then this is your spot. Beautiful top floor (tenth) setting at the Royal Garden Kensington Hotel, overlooking Hyde Park and right to the City and Canary Wharf. There are plenty of tables and the bar is lined up along the windows so you’re pretty much guaranteed a good view.
The wood-​fired Beijing duck here has to be the highlight — sliced on a trolley and served fresh with the proper garnishes and arrangements — crispy duck skin dipped in fine granulated sugar; homemade pancakes with garnishes and succulent sliced duck; fried noodles with sliced duck. I ordered a side of steamed dim sum for good measure and to decide whether to come back for a weekend brunch — despite the price (£4.80+), I most certainly will be. This is authentic and refined Chinese at its best.

Vastly expensive, glossy Chinese with disappointing, inattentive service. Food lacked flavour, particularly the chicken with cashew nuts, and the famed, hugely pricey duck was very fatty. We have been before and had better meals there. Over £300 for six of us was ridiculous, with one bottle of their least expensive white wine and two further glasses.

I visited this restaurant with a relative and a friend who highly recommended the Beijing Duck. Reservations had to be made for the three of us, a couple of week in advance. The day before, we called to see if we could add another diner (friend) to our reserved table but unfortunately was told no. It seemed quite strange to us that any table that could fit three people could not accommodate four people.
True to all the reviews, their Beijing Duck which was carved by a lady chef at our table was most excellent. The serve staff was efficient but not friendly. They seemed quite busy and it was a little difficult to catch their attention. The other dishes that we ordered were also delicious and I have no complaints about the food, except at the end. It appeared that we had ordered a little too much for our three person party and had quite a bit of leftovers. We requested that the food be packed to take home which I thought was very reasonable however, the service staff didn’t think so. Their reply was «I’m sorry we don’t do take-​away».
My advice to diners of this restaurant is to bring your own containers in case you have leftovers.

Worst service ever!
Food took forever to arrive and waiters were very rude to us when we asked where the food was!
DO NOT GO THERE!!!

I enjoyed the Min Jiang Bar a lot. The couches are really comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxing. We went with friends there and had a good time together. Food was awesome but it was pricey. We had Sum Platter which came really quick but there weren’t so many people in the bar.
It’s not a place where I will go every week but I’ll keep it in my list of nice bars that I visit from time to time when I get bored of the usually places.

gorgeous view of london and directly overlooking kensington gardens.
service was typical hong-​kongnese style.
food was actually really clean and tasty compared to other dim sum restaurants but surprisingly limited dim sum menu. for the price and service, customers are paying for the view. if you just want good chow (and respectable service), there are better places in london for dim sum.

I started the year out really well when I had lunch on the 2nd of Jan. Gorgeous weather for spectacular views. Definitely, don’t skimp out on the duck. 1 duck for about 4 ppl is perfect. It was def one of the best peking duck I’ve had. I really liked having the remaining duck in fried noodles afterwards.
Other stuff
Xiao long bao — good but definitely have had better elsewhere
Eggplant — a little greasy looking but was probably the most tastiest dish
Seabass — Was very underwhelmed by this — I didn’t think it was anything special
Tofu hot pot — another one where I think you might find something better in Chinatown.

Very pleasant premium Chinese restaurant on the top floor of a high class hotel with a great view over Kensington Gardens & Hyde Park. I had the tasty Hot & Sour Soup and the Dim Sum appetiser — not cheap, but very good. The service was delightfully impeccable with big smiles from all the friendly staff.

The view from this place is great. The staff was not only fast efficient and charming but also very personable. We had the Peking duck for our meal. It was one if not the best Peking ducks I’ve had in a very long time. Make sure you pre order the duck.

I totally forgot to review this place the first time round probably because of the potent and super tasty oriental themed cocktails which near enough knocked me out. But having been there again I have to say the one star review seems kind of crazy.
The first time round I expected some gentle butt kissing as it was for a review but the second time round not only was the food just as delicious but the staff were as friendly and keen to talk about the food as before. I’m not a dim-​sum expert but aside from being beautifully presented it was the best I’ve had in London and I feel like I’ve stuffed my face in enough Chinese restaurants to be enough of an authority. Finishing the meal we had mango cream with sago pearls, again I find it difficult to get tasty sago pearl dishes in London rather than a slushy mess… or even any asian dessert menu at all.
To top it off Min Jiang’s big pull is it’s impressive view over West London. My only, ONLY criticism is the clientele… it is pricey so expect to have suitably snooty diners but you don’t have to give a chuff if it’s a special one-​off, meal out.

Very, very good food indeed. The only properly served Peking Duck in London and you really must pre-​order it. Its too good to miss. The rest of the food is high quality with one or two not so great items but they are still several classes above a standard Chinese restaurant.
The other big attraction in this nice room is the view out East over Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Worth it, even if you are a Londoner and have lived in this part of town for nearly 40 years like me. If you are visiting the city a meal here should be compulsory! My friend from Beijing was most impressed to see a real Chinese property billionaire eating Sunday lunch with his family here.
The drawback is that although the Chinese staff are excellent, and some of the Brits too, the eastern Europeans are unhelpful and utterly charmless. One insisted on going through the routine of telling my chum from Beijing how to eat the duc (a bit like telling a Yorkshireman what Yorkshire pudding is for,) and turned and marched away on the last syllable of the rehearsed speech. Weird: she was far too young to have experienced an old fashioned communist restaurant but she had all of the charm of an old style commissar.
That is the rant and you should not let it put you off. Oh, and book early for that Sunday lunch …

Min Jiang has a beautiful layout and décor — wonderful interpretation of modern lines mixed with a hint of oriental touches. The restaurant overlooks a beautiful park –Min Jiang wins for view over some other hotel restaurants, particularly those overlooking Hyde Park where you oversee the main road before getting to see the park (it does make a difference, try it for yourself!)
Most of the food was beautiful — their special duck is great and you get two dishes out of it. You start with the Peking duck — possibly one of the best I’ve had. The pancakes are amazingly thin and they give you condiments to make it «Shanghai» style which was cool. The second dish was the stir fried duck with spring onions and ginger. It’s also great for a bit of drama and every table in the restaurant had ordered it (you have to pre-​order).
Other great dishes were the drunken chicken, the soft shell crab, the sesame and chilli oil chicken and the lobster noodle rolls (very novel take on the traditional lobster, spring onion, ginger and noodle combination). The only dish that was a bit of a miss for me was the ma po tofu — it was a bit too lemony for me.
Everything was great and this place is good for a special occasion. I did think it was a bit pricy, but on the other hand, I’m comparing with places that are not in the same leauge like my local Chinese where a small bowl of rice doesn’t cost £2!!! Try it if your stuck for a special occasion place !

Go for the Dim Sum. The rest of their menu is hit-​or-​miss, although they do have some hidden gems. Deep Fried Squid with chilli is not one of them. Pork Belly is interesting — not Canton style but flavourful and very rich (although I like the clay pot style with dark vinegar more, which I had at China Tang).

It’s always horrible to go to a restaurant when they are obviously in the shit. Unfortunately, Min Jiang was in the shits when we revisited.
From what I can deduce they had a «liquid related accident» and was also down 1 wait staff. We waited for 20 minutes for a table in an empty restaurant and the staff were about 10% as charming as last time; verging on rude. There were towels on the floor but no leak anymore. The food was edible, but not amazing like last time. And the restaurant was ½ empty. I can’t imagine what service would be like if it was full.
A used bath towel sat by a table for 2 hours, unnoticed by anyone who worked there, including the manager, who was prowling around, doing nothing. You’re in the shit? Dude, you chip in.
So unimpressed.

If your idea of a Chinese restaurant is a grubby hole someplace in an urban jungle (and I admit mine was) — think again. This place is very high class indeed, with a price to match.
Perched on the top floor of the Royal Garden Hotel, this restaurant does indeed have fabulous views all over Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and beyond.
Food is excellent, one speciality being Peking Duck, which we didn’t try. But we ate a lot of seafood, including dim sum, which seems to be another speciality, and it was great. Say good bye to another cliché too — desert doesn’t come in the form of a fortune cookie — ours was pomelo with mango cream — excellent, though I’m not sure how authentically Chinese this is. Instead of Chinese beer, there is an extensive wine list from all over the world, including China (but this was a bit steep, so we settled for Chilean instead).
Service is quick, efficient and attentive. We were blown away when one waitress owned up to knowing Russian — this was very useful because my companion speaks no English.
But don’t expect the tip to be spelled out for you in the bill, as is customary in the UK. You have to work it out yourself and add it on top of what will tend to be a substantial sum — over 70 pounds in our case.
