  “Great spot for a quick lunch near St Paul’s. We ordered the Hainan Chicken Rice and Roast Duck Rice. The chicken was tender with fragrant rice, while the roast duck was the highlight for me — crispy skin, juicy meat and well-balanced seasoning. The open kitchen and hanging roast meats give the place an authentic feel, and the service was fast even during the lunch rush. Simple setting, reasonable prices and a great choice if you’re working or visiting the City.”

  “Had a fantastic experience at Xiao Long Kan in London. The atmosphere was lively and authentic, and the overall quality of the food really stood out. Everything we ordered tasted fresh, and despite how busy the restaurant was, the food came out reasonably quickly throughout the meal. One of the highlights was definitely the condiment station. Being able to mix your own dipping sauce adds so much to the hotpot experience, and there was a great variety of ingredients available. My only wish is that they included satay sauce, which would make the setup feel even closer to the authentic hotpot spots in Asia. The staff were also excellent — attentive, pleasant, and always quick to help when needed. Service felt organized and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. My only real criticism is that they couldn’t accommodate requests for half portions of meat. Since the restaurant charges for leftover food, having the option to order half portions would make a lot of sense and help customers avoid over-ordering while still getting to try more dishes. That aside, Xiao Long Kan delivers a very solid hotpot experience in London with fresh ingredients, good service, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely somewhere I’d happily return to.”

  “Loved this place. If you choose the 'hot' version of the spicy broth you should brace yourself. I would recommend the medium instead. Having that one with the tangy tomato broth worked perfectly. My favourite was the goose intestine which only needs a short dip to avoid getting chewy and be crunchy instead. Also really enjoyed the Iberico pork. The draught Tiger lager is good. We should have had the all you can eat at £36. That would have been cheaper. But it's still great value anyway. The prices in the restaurant are higher than the old menu on their website. They should update that.”

  “I went for the buffet. Definitely better value than ordering a la carte. The soup tasted great, the sauce station was clean, and the pork and meatballs were very delicious. The vegetables were fresh, and the service was excellent.”

  “Eating at Xiaolongkan buffet in London is absolutely amazing! The three-flavor hot pot is so distinctive—spicy pot is fiery, tomato pot is tangy, and mushroom soup is savory. All the meat rolls are fresh and flavorful, the fried snacks are crispy, and the egg fried rice is fragrant. The ambiance is full of Chinese style, and the service is really thoughtful. Getting to enjoy such authentic Sichuan-style buffet in London is a total delight for both taste buds and soul. Definitely worth visiting again and again!”

  “I’d read quite a few mixed reviews about Shoo Loong Kan, so I decided to give it a try with my little brother — and I’m so glad we did! From the start, the customer service was outstanding. Three different staff members checked in with us throughout our meal to see if we needed anything. Since it was our first time at a hotpot place, they explained everything patiently: how long to cook the food, how to prepare it, and even guided us with tips. A lovely gentleman gave us clear instructions, a very kind girl was super accommodating and helpful, and I believe the manager himself came over to have a chat with us, such a genuine and friendly atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious, and I loved that you can make your own dipping sauce. We chose the all-you-can-eat option (£33.99 for 90 minutes per person), which was absolutely worth it, and added the bottomless iced tea(extra 3.99). Ordering is done through a tablet, which makes it really easy and convenient. One quick note: if you eat halal, there are only two meat options available, and they come at an extra charge (ordered separately). But aside from that, everything else is unlimited within the time. Overall, I had a fantastic experience — great food, fresh ingredients, and genuinely some of the best service I’ve had in London. Highly recommend this place, especially if it’s your first time trying hotpot!”
