The Eight Restaurant - (Near Westminster, South East)

4 /5 Tom: Overall a very good experience, though not quite excellent. The food was solid and clearly well prepared, with authentic flavours and generous portions. A few dishes really stood out and tasted fresh and comforting, especially if you’re craving classic Hong Kong–style cooking. Service was polite and efficient, although it felt a little rushed at times and not particularly warm. The atmosphere is casual and lively, which suits the restaurant, but it can get quite noisy and a bit hectic during busy hours. While everything was enjoyable, nothing quite reached that “wow” level that would make it unforgettable. A bit more attention to detail, whether in presentation, service, or consistency across dishes, could easily push this to a 5-star experience. That said, it’s definitely a place I’d return to for a reliable and satisfying meal. Good quality food, fair value for money, and a solid choice for Hong Kong cuisine in London.

4 /5 Yanners: Everything my group ordered was super tasty, a lot of the sauces had a lot of depth and goes very well with the plate. Price is reasonable and it’s good for a 3-4 people to share. However I dislike how they can sit us down when all of us have arrived.

5 /5 Amanda Yoga: One of the best Hongkong-Style Café in Europe. They serve authentic Hongkong dishes. I even came here 3 times in the span of a week because the food were simply THAT good. We ordered the pineapple Bun with sliced salted butter in the middle (best eaten warm), Hainanese chicken rice, homemade silken tofu with seaweed and mushroom, pork in barbecue sauce and omelette rice. But the champion is the shrimp wonton soup. Thin and silky wrapper, juicy crispy shrimp filling and hearty broth… I still dream of this to this date. They offer free infused water, but don‘t skip their hongkong milk tea or lemon tea. Service is quick and immaculate. Resonably priced. Would highly recommend this!

5 /5 Cindy HE: Lovely restraint in Chinatown with large selection of food, great atmosphere, will be back to try more food! Huge selection of dishes, we started with the turnip cake, tasty and not oily, would recommend! The pineapple bun is delicious, it’s big as well, the sugar crust on the bun combined with the butter is amazing! Then we tried the three roast BBQ with rice, came in a big portion and the roast are all cooked nicely, I like the addition of the mustard greens to balance meat and the rice. We also tried the shrimp roe lo mein(noodles) with wonton, the shrimp roe noodles are quite flavourful and the prawn wontons are juicy. The garlic sauce choy sum surprised me, it’s a simple dish but they added crispy seaweed on top which made it so addictive. Drinks wise, the red bean coconut tasted great and also you can never go wrong with a milktea. Overall,I would definitely come back to try more food! The service is good, they have more seatings downstairs, but on weekend might have to queue a bit. The restaurant is very clean too.
