Quick info
About China City Restaurant
China City Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant at 50 Woburn Pl in London, and its kitchen works in two regional styles. The menu spans Cantonese and Szechuan dishes, so one table can order from both in a single meal. The kitchen seasons its roast duck with its own blend of Chinese spices, and the menu pairs it with Char Siu Pork and Crispy Belly Pork. The restaurant is a three-minute walk from Russell Square tube station.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the service, with the friendly, attentive staff and an owner who checked in throughout the meal, alongside food described as delicious and authentic. Roast duck draws the most specific praise, with one reviewer saying it took them back to Singapore and another calling it sensational. Two kinds of BBQ pork, soft shell crab, ginger and scallion king prawns, spring rolls and Ying Yang fried rice also get named, and one waiter suggested the homemade hot oil for the pork. Diners also mention generous vegetable portions, a seafood selection with lots of options, and food that is not too oily. The one criticism comes from a lunch visitor with family, who found the room quiet and the food good overall but said the dim sum menu could be worked on. A takeaway customer closes on the roast duck rice and king prawns after a long day in town.

“Really really loved my dining experience here. Was here on holidays and the restaurant was only 2 minutes away from our hotel. We decided to dine here the first night. The owner was just amazing! He was so attentive to us all night we got sat straight away! He constantly checked in us throughout the meal. Which was absolutely delicious. We’re definitely returning!!”
