About this menu

Shan Shui Social is a Chinese restaurant in London, on Buckingham Palace Rd, and the food runs from lunch plates and dim sum through to roasts, wok dishes and dessert. Small plates include Thai prawn crackers and salt and pepper baby squid, while the Wok Section brings black pepper chicken. Cantonese Roasts and Rice & Noodles cover the heavier ground, and Desserts such as mango pudding close things out.

For a quick lunch, the lunch specials include roast duck rice, which keeps ordering straightforward. If you want a smaller bite, pair dim sum with something from Appetisers. Anyone after a fuller meal can choose between the roasts and the wok dishes, then add rice or noodles alongside. Diners who like to end on something sweet can finish with the dessert dishes, and those who prefer a meal built from small plates can stay with dim sum and appetisers throughout.
