Shan Shui Social - (Near Westminster, South East)

4 /5 Pavan Mason: This new spot in Victoria is a great choice if you are looking for good Chinese food. It is a little bit pricey for the portion sizes but the quality of the food was excellent. We were particularly impressed by the roast duck and char sui pork. The schuman chicken was delicious but there was very little chicken in the portion. There was no option for draft beer.

5 /5 Daisy B: Such a great find near Victoria Station! This has quickly become a go-to spot for us. Every dish we tried was fantastic, especially the salt and pepper squid, mapo tofu, chilli crab fried bao, cheong fun, and mango pomelo sago. The service was also wonderful, my sister surprised me with a bouquet of flowers, and the lovely waiter kindly offered to place them in a vase with water and returned them to us when we were about to leave. Truly above and beyond.

1 /5 Cookie Monmon: All dishes are kids portions. The char siu was the thinnest I’ve ever had and overly sweet. The Three Cup Chicken was dominated by star anise — that was the only flavor that really came through. The mapo tofu had an unusual sweetness that didn’t feel authentic. The wok-fried noodles were disappointing as well, with vegetables that tasted burnt. The only dish we can enjoy was the Yangzhou fried rice. Portion sizes were about half of what you’d expect from a typical Chinese restaurant. At over £40 per person, we left feeling unsatisfied and that it wasn’t good value for money. On the positive side, the decor was nice and the environment was pleasant.

5 /5 Swati K: Booked this place as I found it online and it looked like a unique menu. I have to say that every dish we ordered was 10/10. The service was also amazing - thank you Reen! The salt and pepper squid was incredible and everything was flavoured so well - not over powering, too sweet or too spicy. Just perfect for us. We absolutely loved it and if we lived closer we would probably order from UberEats! Good job we do not live close, otherwise our bank balance would suffer :)

5 /5 Ariel Balske: Incredible experience. One of the best meals I had in London! I cannot recommend this restaurant more. Wonderful lunch selections and very helpful staff with questions and suggestions. The pepper salted squid reminded me of my favorite childhood spot in Portland, Oregon. Brought back many good memories. Every dish was flavorful and bright. I missed a couple dishes in photos because I couldn’t wait!! Can’t wait to be back and visit again!
