Yming

NB 2022 update. This lovely restaurant has now permanently closed. Our absolute favourite Chinese restaurant in London. I dream of their crispy chilli cauliflower starter as it's so amazing. Their pickled veg appetisers are also lovely. We recently discovered their crispy banana fritters, coated in a sugary crust & now crave both dishes when we're not in London. Friendly staff who are keen to explain menu options & give recommendations.

We went to this restaurant last night to celebrate our wedding due to covid we had a one night stay in London. I was a little sceptical of going to China Town as the last few times I've been to other restaurants I found the food and service to be somewhat of a let down. However I have to say not only is this restaurant by far the best in soho but I would go as far to say this is the best restaurant I have ever been to and I have been to many! We were greeted by the owners and sat at a quiet table so we could enjoy the romantic moment of our honeymoon. A glass of fiz complementary for our congratulations and the beautiful cool blue colour of the restaurant with beautiful music playing just at the right volume. Then came the food well to say we were wowed was an understatement absoultey beautiful and made even better by the recommendations of staff. We are, we laughed and we loved thank you so so much for making our evening a very special one we will be back every year for our anniversary and probably in-between. The best dining experience by far!

I ate at Y Ming a few months ago. I had booked for 4, but all my friend's arrived late, with the last one turning up an hour later. The staff was very welcoming and looked after me. The food was excellent and the service is very good. A friend of mine has food intolerances and the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. I'm writing this review as I consider coming back for my birthday with a larger group.

Absolutely fantastic food, spring rolls crispy, tasty and good amount of filling. Dumplings came with a very good dipping sauce. Haven't seen mint rice on a Chinese menu before and glad we tried it. The only thing I would change is to add a dipping sauce to the Dragon broccoli. Good wine too. Decor downstairs different. Staff very friendly. Seriously worth a visit.

I've been to this restaurant more times than I can count in my seven years in London - it is fantastic! My absolute favourite restaurant that I recommend to everyone! Just outside the main bit of Chinatown, Y Ming has great food, drinks, atmosphere and service. There's a wide variety of dishes that cover meat, fish and vegetarian. Highly recommend you try the field mushrooms and the aubergine or tofu chips as starters... For mains, go for whatever you fancy, it's all great! But I love the Gansu duck and the garlic chicken.

My favourite Soho Chinese restaurant presided over by the delightful Christine aided by a loyal team, many of them with her for years. Spotlessly clean. Some outstanding specials including the signature sea bass named after, er, me! I love Chinese food and can tell the good from the bad. I have been a loyal customer for 30 years and have never been disappointed.
