About Little Four Seasons (Chinatown)

On Gerrard St in London's Chinatown, Little Four Seasons serves Chinese comfort food with duck prepared crispy and aromatic rather than the usual roasted style. Staff hand out menus outside before seating, and the kitchen's range runs from crispy pork belly and black bean sauce beef to spare ribs and pak choi in garlic sauce. Egg fried rice and prawn fried rice appear as common sides, alongside roast bbq pork rice. Waits for a table build up during busy periods, and some diners book ahead to avoid them.

Customer Review Summary

Duck arrives as the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly naming the crispy duck, aromatic duck, and half crispy duck alongside egg fried rice and pak choi in garlic sauce as reliably delicious. Close behind, several single out the bbq pork, crispy pork belly, and black bean sauce beef, and one diner calls the tofu worth ordering despite not being vegan. Service draws split opinions: some describe staff as accommodating and quick even during a wait, while others report longer delays, an order taken from memory and forgotten, or a container cleared while a diner was still eating. One reviewer reports a server who was aggressive and loud and insisted an incorrect soup had been requested, and another describes a dirty water bottle. A few also mention the food being greasy enough to feel heavy afterward. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and diners note the restaurant stays busy, with tables sometimes booked in advance.

    “Great place for food. The staff are so accommodating and lovely. The food is amazing - especially the duck and bbq pork. They also had a really good tofu which I’m not vegan but I would order it. Portions are good sizes too. I will keep coming back”

    “We were meant to go to Four season but got confused with the little four season name. The Little part of the name was hidden in the tent kept outside. Don't know if they are restaurants sharing the same kitchen. We felt rushed to go inside the restaurant by the staff outside. We end up waiting for nearly 10 min for the staff to take our order. It wasn't busy time. Food was okay. The water bottle was so dirty. I asked the staff about the food portion while ordering but didn't replied clearly about it. So we had one and left. Won't go back.”

    “The food is so great. As expected to a Chinese restaurant the choices are so many and overwhelming but that's what they are famous for. The service is so fast. Only the toilet is a bit off but not smelly. The staffs are so great even if a kid went on a tantrum. The one who cleared our table is kind and making jokes saying that we finished our food which is great.”

    “1⭐ – Very Disappointing Experience We had a very unpleasant experience at Little Four Seasons. When we first arrived, a man outside handed us a menu, so my mum and I sat on the chairs outside to decide what to order. After deciding, we went inside and were seated immediately. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. The server who attended us was a different man, and his attitude was extremely poor. He appeared impatient, aggressive, and spoke very loudly, as if he was already angry. It made us uncomfortable from the start. We ordered: Chicken and sweetcorn soup Crispy chilli beef Braised pork stew 2 egg fried rice 2 J20 orange & passionfruit juices After a few minutes, the soup arrived — but it was chicken and mushroom soup, which we did NOT order. When I politely told the server that we didn’t ask for that soup, he aggressively insisted, “Yes, you said that,” in an angry tone. I wanted to argue, but seeing my mum stay calm, we decided to let it go and just re-order the chicken and sweetcorn soup instead. The rest of the food came in stages. The egg fried rice and crispy chilli beef arrived first, while we waited much longer for the braised pork stew. What shocked us the most was near the end of the meal. While my mum was still eating, the staff suddenly took away the crispy chilli beef container without asking. We were both surprised and uncomfortable, but again chose not to make a scene. Overall, the food was acceptable, but the service was rude, rushed, and disrespectful. The aggressive attitude, wrong order, and taking food away while a customer is still eating completely ruined the experience. We will not be returning and do not recommend this place if you expect respectful customer service.”
