Firstly it should be China Tang at the side door @ The Dorchester as we were not allowed access to the restaurant via the main entrance of The Dorchester . A minor point but when you have ladies with heels , they should be prepared for a walk ... We had booked a private event room at China Tang and had received good service from Holmes of the events co-ordinator team . We had spent many weeks fine tuning the menu so was expecting nothing but 5 star service to match the location . Food was undoubtedly excellent but the delivery in some parts was a let down . The manager in charge of our event was miserable , couldn't reach a smile all night and clearly didn't want to be serving us . I think he was missing his favourite ' Dancing on Ice ' that night , than earning his 15% discretionary service charge than was nailed onto the final bill . The printed menu for our event had the wrong date on it , again no big deal but when you are expecting 5 star perfection it's a poor let down to detail . Grumpy manager did change the menu when I pointed out the mistake but without no real apology . The food was very good with a nod to the chef for the classic peking duck which was cooked to perfection . Nice crispy skin with juicy meat which was a delight . Our event sommelier was very good providing some 'value' choices from the extensive list and not just all from the top shelf selection . A final point don't pre-order any celebration ballons directly from the restaurant, for gbp 195 they were a let down , with no pun intended . Sad to say but the biggest smile of the night was from the 'por por' in charge of the toilets , I just hope she gets a slice of that 15% service charge .....

The decor and ambience is very pleasant but the food and service wasn’t high enough over your usual Chinese restaurant to warrant the hearty price point. Brought the wrong main course and instead of taking all the food away and return 2 main dishes at same time, we were left with one and told that the correct dish would take 2m. 15m later it arrived when we’d pretty much had enough by that point. No offer to remove from bill, and full service charge added. An expensive Chinese meal, 2 people, no booze for over £230. Gosh.

We visited with family for a special occasion. We were made to feel very welcome. We enjoyed drinks in the bet first. Fantastic choice of wines. The food was sublime. We could not fault anything. We had a mixture of fish, meat starters and mains. It was all beautiful. The restaurant were kind enough to let 2 friends join after the starters which was so kind. The table we had was in a little alcove so was very personal and we enjoyed every moment of our visit. Can’t wait to come back.

I have just read some of the negative reviews below, and luckily I can say that we have experienced none of these. Came here with some family members to celebrate a special occasion. We booked a table for 5 and were promptly seated. The Restaurant was full, every table occupied, which alone is a good sign. Service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. OK, it is expensive, the bill came to more than £ 700 for 5 adults, but I have no complaints, I knew what to expect and was not disappointed. We will be back soon!

Was so excited about the halal menu but the food was POOR snd staff were inattentive. We slso had to wait 20 mins to be seated and this was only after constantly asking. The manager was really great though and offered us free dessert and remove a terrible dish from the bill.

We went to celebrate a family birthday recently & from looking so forward to this restaurant, sadly we couldn’t have been more disappointed! The food was below average, over priced & despite having so many waiters, the service was awful, we had the most miserable waiter!

Further to our visit on 8th October to the China tang, Dorchester restaurant I feel extremely obliged to write a review reflecting on the undesirable meal myself and my wife experienced. To begin with, we was presented with a £200 voucher as a present for our anniversary to spend at the China tang Restaurent, which we had presented initially upon arrival. As we arrived about 30 mins ahead of schedule we was initially seated in the bar area, to enjoy a few glasses of wine, which went relatively well. Upon being seated to the restaurant area, we proceeded to order a few starters and a 2nd bottle of wine. All was going well and was impressed with the décor and atmosphere. However despite a 15% service charge being applied to all orders, we had to ask multiple times (by putting out hand up) to ask for a refill of wine or have the wine refilled. We then proceeded to order a 2nd bottle of wine, and our glasses where topped up (2no glasses). As my wife went to the toilet I requested if I could have my glass filled up, however was notified that the 2nd bottle had finished, despite only having 1 small glass of wine of the new bottle. ( my wife hadent even finished her glass) We had then notified the manager it was impossible that the 2nd bottle would of finished as we had only 2 glasses. Unexpecdially the manager had told us that the waitors have been pouring us glasses of wine all night?! We then requested for the CCTV footage to be reviewed as this was a blatelt lie on the behalf of the waitors or managers. After waiting 45 mins we was then told by the manager that he had reviewed the footage and has seen the wine being filled up. which was a complete lie. Further to discussions we was then told “we would be given benefit of the doubt” and have the wine taken off the bill. However the complete and utter embarrassment of this issue had completely ruined our experience at this venue. Once the bill had arrived and we reviewed the 2nd bottle of wine was still on the bill! Therefore we had to complain once again to remove the 2nd bottle charge & also the service charge as the experience was a complete disgrace. As we had a minimum spend of £200 there was circa £50 left on the tab therefore asked for a coffee which had arrived late and burnt (which may have been done purposely) and asked to take away a different wine bottle therefore bringing the total of £200. In summary I wish to clarify the experience at the bar section of the China tang was pleasant, which is used as a waiting area, however the restaurant was abismall. Despite charging 15% service charge you have to put your hand up as a school child to request for wine refills, table to be cleared or to have water. I have requested to review the CCTTV footage as I am not happy about given “benefit of the doubt” as its more of the principle of having to protest your innocence, then the money side Therefore this place gets a 0/5 rating.

Best Wagu I have ever had! We booked a private room for a work dinner and it was absolutely perfect. The service was great, the food was phenomenal and I love the location. We ordered a bit of everything and everyone loved it all.

Probably the best but also the most expensive food in London. The Peking Duck was amazing as were several of the other supporting dishes. The wine list is equally expensive and care needs to be taken (unless you want to spend that much ) that the bottle you choose is not several thousand pounds as i found the pricing a little confusing untill you got used to it. on a happy note it was wonderful to see so many fathers out with their beautiful daughters , they all looked very caring young ladies.

Disappointed by the lobster with ginger and spring onion. It is very different from the dish that I have had a number of times before at China Tang. But different is okay as long as it is tasty. However, the lobster dish I had last night was far from satisfactory. It has essentially been made to suit Western dining preference. As Chinese, we prefer the lobster to be cooked and presented with the shell on. And if you are going to extract the lobster meat from the shell and present it in that way you have got to make darn sure that there is no shell present in the dish. Unfortunately we found multiple pieces of shell in our lobster meat and noodles. Just careless. And the sauce lacked the favours of ginger and spring onion. Plus it was gloopy. Very disappointing given that I was charged £188. I don't mind paying the money if the food was good. But sadly it just wasn't. Very disappointed with China Tang. I don't think I will be returning for a long long while.

Extremely disappointing- this dish displayed exactly how it tasted. Everything else lacked flavor of any sort.
