About Dong Yuan
Dong Yuan is a Chinese restaurant on School Rd in London, built around just four tables, with every seat facing the chef cooking over open fire. The menu runs to 102 dishes, including sir fried chicken, spicy chicken wings, and set meals such as braised pork trotter with rice and coke. Winter melon pork rib soup and stir-fried beef appear as recurring items, alongside spicy liver, spicy chicken, and xiao huang yu, with fried chillies and pork also part of the offering. Ordering follows a traditional style, with the open kitchen visible from every table. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and seating is limited given the small room. It opens Monday to Sunday, closed on Wednesdays.

“The food is decent for the price but the service and running of this place is really poor. …”
- YS
“This place is really, really good. The winter melon pork rib soup had some of the best broth I’ve ever had in a restaurant! The stir-fried beef was pleasantly spicy and paired nicely with rice. Try to book as it’s quite small and there’s only four tables. On the plus side, all seats offer a view of the chef cooking with fire!”
- Adrianne Lee
“Although they look heavy, they were not. I like that they were not salty at all. There are a bit too much oil, but still, taste nice.”
- Tiff Wang
“Freshly made Chinese food - really authentic! Would recommend to order delivery because there is very limited space in the restaurant and the seats are very crowded. Favorites are: spicy liver, spicy chicken and xiao huang yu. The food is not too spicy and has a great flavour.”
- Emma Qi
“If you’re looking for an absolute authentic Chinese experience, look no further. From the style of ordering, to the aromatics of the food, especially the soups and the fried chillies and pork - who needs to spend a fortune on a flight …”
