We found this place unexpectedly, whilst looking for somewhere to eat on Saturday night. We had to wait as we hadn’t pre-booked. It was definitely worth the wait, the food especially the duck was amazing, and the crispy shredded chilli beef was fantastic! The restaurant is small and a bit crowded but the food definitely makes up for it! Definitely recommend ��
It is my regular lunch for the best roast duck in London. A great deal during the weekday where you get the complimentary daily soup and orange with your meal. Dinner time and weekends can be a very long wait and more expensive. However, it can no longer claim to serve the world's best roast duck.(The roast duck leg meat was dry this week).The top award belongs to their relative who opened #VillageRoastDuck in Kuala Lumpur; and the feuding Yung Kee HK family member who runs #Kam's Wan Chai Hong Kong.
Every time when I go to London,(from Bangkok, Thailand) one thing is very important never forget it that is eating roast duck at Four season restaurant Queens way. I exactly to confirmed the best of the best roast duck in this world.🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Best roast duck in London! Food is always amazing!! At prime time the queue goes out the door & onto the street & that's when you know the food must be great considering it's surrounded by loads of other Chinese restaurants yet people are happily waiting for this one in particular!!!
Brought a colleague there today. He was All smiles. The roast duck was great, service was great. What more can you ask for? This is a "must have" everytime I visit London.
Bloody good. Much better than I expected. Great service, nice people
Best roast duck I've eaten! After over 12 year!
Delicious every time. Top marks! Thank you so much
Always go there when I’m in town for work...really like the crispy duck though service is a typical Chinese Restaurant service...one of my colleague always have the duck for take out back to Indonesia
Fantastic service. Wihin minutes if placing the order everything arrives hot and steaming. The standout dishe is the pecking duck. Plan to head there again. Comfort food!! The seating is cramped
Great restaurant big place ,i think it fits for 50 or 70 people inside so here's my experience. Me and my family (5 people) went here for something to eat and we ordered about 5 dishes, crispy belly pork (photo) ,roast duck boneless (photo) ,some veggie ,noodle ,and egg fried rice for 3 people. I have to say that the main star in this restaurant is the roast duck it have a great taste it serve on this pool of sauce and under the duck they serve a chunk of cabbage and that's it for my review. #peace

I used to frequent Bayswater area back in the days I was based in London. I have a few favourite restaurants in the area. Interestingly, I have never tried this Four Seasons outlet before. I've been to the one in Chinatown but not here. I tried in the past but queueing up put me and my friends off.
This time round, we made reservation to be sure. We still had to wait when we arrived but that was just for a few, tolerable minutes. We were seated in the table next to the pillar so the space was a little cramped. None of us minded this. The important thing was that we were seated.
I often describe places like this as a Chinese cantina where you simply eat and go. Service here was fast and efficient but not friendly and warm. Like I said, it is an "eat and go" kind of place. Service is always manic because the team needs to ensure that food is served at the shortest amount of time possible. There are also pressure on customers to finish quickly and not linger because there are people still on queue outside. A first encounter with auntie (the most senior female staff) might offend you; you might even think that she was being rude. However, there is nothing personal with the way she talks or handles things. She does that to keep service moving fast. It is not her intent to appear mean or to offend.
Despite this "rough" looking service, this place is very popular. Customers, us included, flock to this place because of good food. We ordered a few dishes for sharing that evening. We had a whole special roasted duck (Cantonese style), a combination platter of barbecued pork (char siu) and crispy pork belly, stewed beef brisket in hot pot, prawn fried noodles and rice. Everything was delicious and authentic. The dishes were not anglicised for the sake of sales. Each dish came in full flavours which seemed to be appreciated by its patrons. From what I've seen, the Cantonese duck was the most popular item. This was also the star on our table. It was moist with that savoury flavour from the marinate. One of my friends loved it so much that she even considered getting one to take back to Barcelona. This version can easily match the ones you find in good restaurants in Hong Kong and Guangzhou in terms of look, aroma and taste. The other dishes were equally impressive. I will not attempt to describe them here but I would encourage you to try them.
Hands down, this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. Expect to be impressed but don't look for that friendly service.
The service is slow and rude. The more senior the server you get, the worse the service. But still this place is almost full because they get the food right. All soups are very good. Duck is amazing and all sizzling steak dishes are good, especially the black bean sauce. Too bad the bad service instills this negative energy in me everytime I visit.
The Four Season Roast House is easily an iconic symbol of the East in London. With its celebrity like popularity, the Four Season Roast House name has spread back to the east as far as Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. In fact, there are a couple of branches in Malaysia, and Bangkok; perhaps even more! Coming to London, I knew I had to taste for myself whether the Four Season Roast House is the real deal or plain hype.
It's all about the roast duck. Roast duck, roast duck, roast duck. and some house soup and cha siuw. that's all.
Satisfied. My friends were craving for Chinese food as soon as we arrived London. Boy!! We stayed at the Bayswater area and it was just walking distance to Queensway. We found Four Seasons' BBQ items quite impressive before we decided to eat there.
We were not disappointed with their food. Roasted Duck had crispy skin and tasty meat. BBQ Pork was tender. Salty Fish and Chicken Fried Rice; and Singapore Fried Rice Noodles both were good. However all dishes were a bite salty.
Service was quite attentive.
Went for a pre-concert dinner with my son and we found the food sublime; the battered soft crab starter ESP so! We were the only persons of non Asian decent eating so that speaks volumes. Get there early as it gets busy from 6 onwards. Highly recommended.
The roast duck is simply the best still. Crispy skin, slightly fatty but juicy and tender meat with pak choi (veg) underneath and swimming with sauce.. yum yum
You've not had roast duck till you've had Four Seasons roast duck (or Gold Mine's, or Magic Wok's, but hey, such is the joy of variety). Ask anyone in London where the best roast duck is to be had, and the answer will probably be one of these three places. It's not that we're short of restaurants selling roast duck in Chinatown, so it is quite surprising that all three restaurants named above are located along the Queensway / Bayswater stretch. The lead waitress (perhaps an understatement, as she is pretty much front of restaurant) is a rather loud, but definitely likeable lady. She's the one you sweet-talk into giving you a table, and she's the one you smile at for more roast duck gravy. The impression I have so far is that you don't want to be on the wrong side of her (you don't want duck without gravy, do you). Usually, there are people dining here at all times of day. We've had dinner as late as 10.30pm when we still had to wait for a table, and we weren't even the last ones in. Us
Two reviews for the price of one, A few weeks ago we were entertaining some guests from out of town. We met in Covent Garden and after a few drinks decided to head out for cheap meal in Chinatown. We basically stumbled into the first restaurant we saw on
Despite the bad service (although, staff at the Queensway branch are infinitely more polite than the Chinatown branches, but that doesn’t say much) I keep going back, time and time again. They seriously make the best roast duck I’ve ever had, anywhere on this planet.
When no fewer then 3 Singaporeans sang the praises of the duck at Four Seasons I simply had no choice but to give it a try.
Anybody of Oriental descent who has stayed in London for over a week will have known about Four Seasons already, unless s/he has: 1) no social contacts, 2) no interest in food whatsoever or 3) been staying with the mythical crocodiles in the London sewers
The Victims : Rutton, Jay, Orvis The Damage : £20 each The Background : Running is both a good and a bad thing. It's good, of course, for your cardiovascular s
The food here is amazing yes the restarunt is very busy and at times it is over whelming but the food is worth it and I'd come back every time with my other half.
This Chinese place offers good value food combined with a good service as well. The roast ducks are it's main specialty and that's why most of the times it's packed totally. This is surely not one of those places for exclusive dining and all but the food is just excellent. The ambience is just fine, although sometimes it is a bit too cramped and it's difficult to have a conversation but well, mostly people come for food.
I was here recently and was quite impressed with it. The food was excellent, especially the duck and pork which were cooked to perfection. The ambience is quite decently authentic. There is a wide range of options on the menu to choose from and most of them are pretty interesting as well. The service is pretty quick and efficient.
Went to this place after a magazine review read that they offered the best roast duck. The duck wasn't disappointing at all, the meat was tender and succulent, and the sauce was yummy. This doesn't mean that the other dishes here were any less, they were all amazing too. They had an interesting variety of food on offer, all cooked to perfection. I even got the leftover packed.
Particularly famous for its roast duck, this place is a real charmer. One can enjoy watching the chefs prepare ducks in front of their eyes while the carefully dissect to perfection.
The service here is fast and offers your duck in a unique fashion (on or off the bone). What is fascinating is the fact that though this place is mostly very crowded, the chefs always uphold the crispy aromatic flavours of the duck.
One will never leave this place dissatisfied or discontent as the experience is just brilliant!
I have been hearing the reviews about how good the duck is here , and that I might not have tasted something like this before.
I was not at all keen for going here because I really do not like trying new places ( well that is just me).
The ambiance was nice as I entered but it was irrelevant for me to pay any heed to that because according to me only food matters.
The duck indeed was good , the skin was crispy and the portions were also nice , but it was not that great that I will go to this place again.
If you are looking for an authentic Chinese experience, this is the place you should be at. I visited this place with the company of some friends, and really enjoyed the duck we ordered. One full sized duck was big enough for three people to have with pancakes, and it was a surprise that we were able to finish it off. The service could be improved, they were not very efficient. But you should go here for the food.
The food here was amazing with a lot of variety and quirky dishes . The staff was attentive and warm, the portions were generous too. The wait for a table worth it here. The place is quite popular too, mostly for the Chinese food.A must visit.
This restaurant offers on of the best Roast Duck. But the major drawback is the waiting queue to get seated in this restaurant, it is usually very long. It is advised to make prior bookings, but even after booking a place, you might have to wait for at least an hour outside! A few of the must-try dishes apart from the Roast duck is the Crispy Aromatic Duck and Hot Plate Sea food.
I was wondering to myself the other day as to why this place was always so crowded. Now I know why! The duck portion which is roasted to perfection and spiced with utmost care is just over the top perfect! One leaves this place satisfied with the service and food as though it is a memorable experience.
They serve one of the best duck style barbecue rice ever, i don't think there can even be a competition of such amazing quality even in China or Hong Kong. I being a Taiwanese vouch for one of a kind taste.I frequent this place a lot. The only let down for me would be the rice which is only average.
I recommend trying- barbecue triple combination.
Whenever in London, I visit this place without fail. While you share your tables with others, you also have your food thrown at you. The menu has a variety of dishes however the most sold dishes here are the rice and pork. In spite of the food being slammed at you, one strangely enjoys this place a lot.
Being a frequent visitor at the restaurant, i would award the place full marks from my side. In my opinion,this is the best Chinese restaurant i have seen in the locality. I recommend tasting the roast duck and their special soy sauce.I make sure that i eat here whenever i'm in the area.Do try.
The overall experience i had at this place was definitely very delightful.I would forward my friends' opinion in recommending the impeccable roast duck.You might also want to try the tofu dishes which was equally pleasant.
If I was to note a letdown for this restaurant i would criticize the crowded atmosphere which kind of kills the ambiance.
The food was smooth and sharp. Tasting sublime, the soft crab starter was a pleaser! The place is a crowd puller post 7, so it is recommended to grab a table by maximum 6 in the evening. went with my son as a pre-concert dinner, and it was a brilliant experience!
Having been impressed by the Chinese barbecue items on the menu ,we decide to go there to satiate our craving for Chinese food,the location was comfortable.
Although i wasn't disappointed with the dishes but for my palate the salt was a little too much in all the dishes.Apart from that the roasted duck was crispy and the barbecue pork soft.
The service was pretty good and caring.
The menu here is good and extensive. They house the usual Cantonese, kind of stuff. However, it appears people come here more for the roasts. They have a lot of the usual roasts such as the roast pork belly, duck etc housed on their menu. One can share these, or if they are very hungry order the single portions.
The place makes roast duck I've ever had an I keep visiting this place for more. The staff however, is rude, more rude than the other branches of the same restaurant, and the service not up to the mark. But the mouthwatering food brings me back every time.Will visit again soon.
My friend took me here and to my surprise I really fell in love with this place.
I had roast duck and it was an amazing experience , I was thanking every time I took a bite that she forced me to come here.
The staff was also good and the decor was pretty decent too.
I will be coming here again.
Delicious. Not quite as good as Gold Mine but would still go back of Gold Mine was full. The duck was oh so crispy and delicious. I asked for some char siew (as you do) but there was a bit of a miscommunication and we got a different type of pork. Not complaining. Was still real tasty
Great food. Average service. Just wish Service reflected the quality of the food. People say the food is worth the bad service, but it's pretty poor enough to ruin the experience slightly and the rating reflects that. Highlights are the Roast Pork and Crispy Belly Pork. They also have a branch in Chinatown. Despite the bad service I would recommend everyone goes at least once.
I took my brother here for his birthday and we werenot disappointed. It is always busy at this restaurant and you have to go early to get a table as long as you don't mind waiting all night. The restaurant is known for its Cantonese Duck . We ordered beef in black bean sauce too which was great. The restaurant serves great duck . Also the won ton soup was great. Ordered Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce which was delicious. Make sure you eat here if you have the opportunity !!! Finish the meal with an apple toffee fritter or banana fritter & jasmine tea. This is my favourite Chinese restaurant ever. Unbelievable cuisine !!
The restaurant is ideal for a first date too !!!
This is a great Chinese restaurant in central London. This is my second visit here. I ordered Prawn Crackers, Hot and Sour Soup, along with Sweet and Sour King Prawn. I washed it down with a Tsing Tao Beer. Great authentic food in a nice clean restaurant.
There is a "discretionary" 12.5 percent service charge that will be added to your bill, not sure how that is "discretionary".
Busy evening but the service was great and the food tasted fantastic. Specially the Duck. Roasted Duck yes run and try it. The best i have tasted. The service was 100 % and at the end of the meal the manager came with free dessert on the house. She was friendly and smiling and gave us the story of the restaurant. Can really recommend this to all my Norwegiand friends.
Probably the best roast duck in the world! Authentic Chinese cuisine with long established. Visited regularly since 2000 and Four Seasons never fails to delivered high quality food. Always ordered a ‘whole roast duck’ to take home.
8.9/10. Authentic Cantonese cuisine in west London. Food keeps in high quality and portion is ok for share. Service is normal but atmosphere is bit squeezed with some classical playlist.
💷 £25-50per,
💁🏻♂️ 10-15mins, quicker than Chinatown branch.
As always, their roast duck lives up to their reputation. Truly enjoyed the dish with the fats from the duck and not very gamey taste. It’s juicy, tender and flavourful.
The calamari and roasted pork is superb, tender as it gets. The roasted skin is crispy and I really enjoyed the dish.
The manager & servers are top notched. Efficient and good customer service. Will definitely come back here again.
A fairly good Chinese restaurant. According to reviews their speciality is roasted duck, and I'd feel inclined to agree.
Service was terrible, communication was so hard that I had to resort to point at the menu. As expected on these places, atmosphere is "order, est, pay and sod off"
Four Seasons is hands down one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in London. While I typically visit their branches in Soho, the Queensway location has won my heart. The service here surpasses the one in Soho, and the staff are exceptionally friendly. The welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall dining experience, making it a place I always look forward to returning to.
I have tried a few Four Seasons restaurants but this branch on Queenway is my favourite. I have been to this branch a while ago but the great food and service got me back. In my opinion , they serve one of the best Cantonese style roast duck in London. Nice texture and great taste. The pork belly and soya chicken were also nice!!! I like prawn spicy dim sum too. So happy with my meal earlier today.
This place is insanely busy and the queuing system is ANYTHING BUT CLEAR. FYI, you need to go in despite the queue outside, speak to the staff at the entrance, say your party size and your name and then join the queue outside. Once inside, getting the attention of the busy waiting staff is impossible without rudely shouting someone over.
Overall although the service was unpleasant, the food was the delicious.
Cousins visiting from Hong Kong introduced us to this place. Cannot recommend the food here enough. The Peking duck with wraps was satisfying and tasty; the salted egg prawns delicious; and the garlic pea sprouts to round out the meal truly yummy. If you haven't made reservations, a good time to come is 3-4pm.
The beef, roast duck and pork is good and delicious and it's the best. I highly recommend to eat roast duck because it taste so good and delicious and it's the best when you visit 4 season Chinese restaurant.
They claim they have best roast duck in the world, this is the must order food you should have in this restaurant.
We were all craving some peking duck and found his place on google maps.
When we came, we were the only non Chinese people in the restaurant so we thought it was a really good sign and we are gonna get some really tasty Chinese food. And we were right! It was kinda hectic inside but very authentic so it wasn’t bothering at all.
The Peking duck was amazing! So flavorful, soft yet crispy, just as it should be. I also really loved the tofu. Portions were very big and generous. We really enjoyed our dinner here! Recommend!
Origial roasted duck il
Good taste nd must try if you like chinese food when visit london.
Duck came highly recom by my overseas friend but after making a trip down just to try this.. It was alright. Was told their Roast Duck is signature but I ordered Peking duck which I've had better. Not too bad Chinese cuisine if u around the area but not worth making a trip all the way down just for this.
