Chinese/Thai restaurant recommendations for pre-show dinner west end please?

[iknowimcoming]

I'm taking my 9 year old niece to see Matilda (Cambridge Theatre) in 2 weeks for a birthday treat and she's asked to go for a Chinese meal beforehand, has anyone been anywhere good recently, have been wading through online reviews but it's so hard to know if they're genuine!

We always go for dim sum at Joy King Lau in Chinatown, v tasty and good fun choosing things.

@cushionfiend Joy King Lau closed down in the summer, so sad after 30 years!

We usually go to Golden Phoenix for Chinese food, the dim sum is particularly good but I think finishes at 5pm or Gold Mine for roast duck

@HanSB Oh, I'm so confused now because we ate there a couple of weeks ago! Or at least I thought we did! But I can see loads of articles online about them closing... did we maybe go through a time warp or something???

@cushionfiend maybe it was rescued and under new management?

@HanSB Yes, looks like it was - there are v recent reviews on Trip Advisor and one mentions new management. Phew, I haven't lost my mind!

Another vote for Joy King Lau in Chinatown. Really good nosh!

Thanks all! Table booked!

Always Joy King Lau! So pleased to hear it’s reopened.
