It’s my favourite restaurant. Their service is second to none and the food is first class!!!
Best chef for there, for many years
Ambience is poor
Change the decor and make it cosier & upmarket and it would be full
Exceptional Chinese food and service
A solid pode for comfort food and quality
We enjoyed our meal.Not many in but it was a wet midweek night. First time ate
here but will come again.
Went for supper with my husband. Food good as usual. We really like it there
The duck was delicious, best crispy duck I've had in London... unfortunately the rest of the meal wasn't up to standard. In the main courses, the noodles and veg dishes were tasteless, especially given how expensive they are. At one point, we pointed out that we had ordered broccoli in oyster sauce, not in ginger sauce, and the waiter brought back the exact same dish with some oyster sauce sprinkled on top! Not okay. Won't be coming back, unless it's to eat just duck.
Excellent food, great atmosphere and excellent service.
My 12 yr old daughters birthday was a super night. Well done to the staff
Great to be back here for a good quality & high standard lunch. Absolutely recommended! The only slight drawback the day I went was how empty this well known & well respected restaurant was.
Lovely restaurant that is a staple in the area. Uncomplicated, great quality food that hits the spot. It’s high quality Chinese food without any pretentiousness. The menu feels familiar and hits all the right notes, classic Chinese dishes done well.

Extensive menu, lively food and very attentive service. Also following Covid rules very well and we all felt safe. Very enjoyable experience!

Really lovely. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Amazing experience for my boyfriends 26th birthday
Two of us took a set menu which was fantastic value, and they gave us some flexibility to swap soups. The third person chose off the menu and found the portions very generous.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing as we wanted. The service was super. I strongly recommend it
Great salt & pepper cuttlefish and I recommend the sweet & sour chicken too!
Great service & delicious food. Restaurant laid out well for social distancing.
Food a little expensive and staff need more training
Had a great lunch with a friend in a lovely restaurant. Good value set menu with friendly and efficient staff. Would highly recommend. The food was delicious.
It was lovely. Thanks a lot.
One of the best meals we have had there (and we have had many.) One of the waiters overheard it was our daughter's birthday and, quite unprompted brought her a little cake. A wonderful touch at the end of a lovely meal.
I hardly ever bother writing a review but this one really annoyed me. The restaurant is not taking part in the ‚eat out, help out‘ scheme. Even the waitress did not know why. Had I known I would have gone elsewhere, there’s enough choice in the area. The food was adequate given the extortionate prices, service was attentive and lovely.
Food very poor worst Chinese food we have ever had, staff and champagne very good.
Very fatty ribs, heavily battered Kung po king prawns awful, poor quality beef fillet below average Cantonese chicken again quite heavily battered.
Avoid here until they get some decent chefs
What a beautiful meal again I had at Ken Lo's Memories of China, I will definitely be back.
Food was excellent!!
Although restaurant was very quiet during this period ambience was still lovely with warm and receptive staff. Excellent food. One of our favourite chinese restaurants in London
Great meal, superb food. Ambience was hard to gage because of covid-19.
a class above the other local restaurants, very easy to understand why it has been successful for so long, food and service are both first class.
As always Memories of China is reliable, it’s personnel welcoming
We have been going to Ken Lo’s for many years. We arrived on Sunday with my elderly mother in law. The staff were unwelcoming, unhappy and there was not one drop of atmosphere in the restaurant. They served us like robots throughout our meal. Not a smile nor a nice word. It is such a shame as it has always been a favourite of my family.
Enjoyable meal, fresh and tasty food. Friendly staff,
3rd visit and seems to get better!
Grear meal and great service...
Lucy and I chose the Menu A option and were furnished with lots of colourful dishes to eat. The food came quite speedily between courses and the staff were friendly and efficient. Altogether a very lovely experience and our bellies were definitely full afterwards.
The set menu was phenomenal value and service prompt but matched to our pace. One tiny criticism - I would like to see a vegetable dish on the set menus.
Tucked away in Belgravia.
Great choice in the food menu.
All well presented and very tasty.
Service was excellent, very attentive.
Well decorated and a rather quiet ambience.
The food was absolutely delicious, which makes the bland restaurant decor even more of a shame! Service was overall very good even if a couple of the waitresses were a little too keen to clear the table when we barely finished our first course. That being said - coming back to it - the food was amazing. Very subtle tastes, this is how Chinese should always taste! None of the heavy and overpowering sauces, it’s all about finesse. Will definitely be coming back.
Always excellent as it was when Kenneth and Ann opened it
Highly recommended
The food was delicious as always but the service was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being busy at all. Staff were friendly but not attentive. It was disappointing for such a large party booking.
