Bao Fa Garden (FKA Zen China) - London

Our first visit and we loved him. I am a great fan of Chinese food and have visited restaurants all over the world, including hongkong. the peking duck was wonderful and the suppe that was made with the rest only delicious, the presentation at the table through the chef was also a beautiful note. we liked the place so much that we go back on Friday with other friends. the complete menu is much more varied than appears on its website and contains some great dishes.

Beautiful personal and beautiful view of the houses of the parlament large bene river. However, eating is quite average, so it is for what it is expensive. sizzlinf bark was delicious. crispy duck was dry. dry.

Awful experience. We made a reservation through OpenTable for a restaurant in the city so my family could spend New Year's in London. We were then contacted by a rude restaurant manager who insisted we pay 900 for the booking, even though this amount was not mentioned on OpenTable when we made the reservation. As a result, we had to cancel our booking and we will never return to this restaurant. It completely ruined our plans for New Year's in London, leaving everyone, including my children, extremely disappointed.

Very bad. At around 1pm on Sunday 31st December I received a call saying that my 5pm booking (same day) had been cancelled as they were now holding a New Year's party that would cost about £200 per person. For my booking they said that I could only move it to 3pm (before they closed). They should have had these details on Open Table beforehand. I then asked if they could hold my booking so that I could discuss with friends that I booked it for. When I called back they were unable to understand me and the conversation was a bit of a struggle. In the end I cancelled the booking.

It seemed logical to dine at the Bao Fa Garden after a matinee visit to the County Hall Theatre. What can I say? It was okay I suppose. No particular omplaints from my party of four, that's for sure. But it wasn't great. It was all rather ordinary leaving us with some disappointment that it could have been so much better. At these prices and with this location we should have been bowled over but weren't. I doubt if we'll return.
