  “Really enjoying my meal here writing this as I eat. Just past the busy china town street and seems like a quitet spot. The braised beef was really good, with the flavours, portion sizes, presentation and overall value all coming together really well. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was nice and welcoming. It has more of a casual dining feel, which suited the experience perfectly. I’d definitely order again and would highly recommend it to others.”

  “I visited MI Canteen China Town with my friends on 24th June Wednesday evening and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. Around 7:50 PM, I witnessed a delivery rider come in with an empty bottle and ask for some water. Instead of helping him politely, a staff member told him that he had to say “please” first before they would give him water. The way the situation was handled felt rude and unnecessary. What surprised me even more was that several staff members were present, and none of them seemed interested in handling the situation professionally. From my experience, the staff appeared poorly trained, communication was difficult, and overall customer service standards felt very low. In comparison, the nearby Rasasayang restaurant has always provided a much better experience. Their staff are friendly, cooperative, professional, and welcoming. The food quality there is also excellent and, in my opinion, far better than MI Canteen. I believe restaurants should treat everyone with basic respect and courtesy, whether they are customers, delivery riders, or visitors. Based on what I witnessed, I would think twice before returning here. If this is the level of service being provided, I would personally prefer to dine elsewhere in the future. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving staff training, professionalism, and customer service.”

  “Lovely people! My Chinese friend took me here to try the food. Everything was delicious and VERY quick! We got treated so politely too, I’ll definitely come back again ☺️! We shared a bowl of rice 🍚 , the chongqing ‘ma-la’ beef 🍲 and the Chinese chicken curry 🍛! The chicken curry was AMAZING! So soft and tasty, i definitely recommend. Normally my stomach reacts to curry but this one did me justice 😌. As for the cold beef, it was covered in peanut sauce. I didn’t know this and do not prefer that but my friend found the dish great! To be honest, if it wasn’t for the peanut sauce then I would’ve loved it too - the beef had an amazing texture though 😋 In the end, we got treated with the most respect, as if we were all friends!”

  “The service here is absolutely amazing!!! Especially the waitress who served us really well!! We ordered the sour cabbage fish ( portion was massive and definitely enough to feed two to three people and it has glass noodles inside as well), also ordered red pepper beef dried vermicelli ( portion was huge as well, loved the flavour of the minced beef- not too salty, not spicy as well), deep fried salt and pepper squid( so fresh, not bad ) , and stir fried long beans with minced pork ( absolutely delicious) best paired with rice !!! Loved every dishes here !! Highly recommend this restaurant if you want something not too oily , huge portion”

  “Had an amazing experience at Mi Canteen in London! The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavor—especially the marinated beef (perfectly balanced with a hint of garlic and vinegar, super appetizing), the typhoon shelter prawns (so fresh and crispy), and the minced pork eggplant which was amazing with rice. The honey glazed wings and salt & pepper ribs were also very well seasoned and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the wok hei—everything is cooked to order with no pre-made dishes. Service was attentive and friendly, and no service charge is a huge plus in London. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “Came here thinking the vermicelli would be the star, but the stir-fries completely stole the show. Everything tasted freshly cooked with that smoky wok flavour you rarely find in London. The flavours were bold but not overwhelming, and every dish felt really satisfying. Plus no service charge and buy-one-get-one-free beers — definitely a place I’d come back to for a casual meal.”

  “Really solid Chinese restaurant with excellent stir-fried dishes. We came for the vermicelli, which was flavourful and satisfying, but the highlight was definitely the wok-cooked dishes — you can really taste the wok hei, especially in the egg fried rice and cabbage. The Sichuan-style beef was rich and well balanced. No service charge and a buy-one-get-one-free offer on beers made it even better. Would happily return.”

  “One of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. I’ve been back many times and always bring friends here. The food is consistently good and really comforting. Highly recommend the Yuxiang tofu prawns, sesame sauce chicken, pig trotter soup, claypot rice noodles, salted egg yolk chicken wings, and the brown sugar sticky rice cake for dessert. If you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food in London, this place is definitely worth trying.”

  “Mi Canteen in Chinatown is honestly a safe choice. The crispy duck was perfectly crunchy outside and tender inside. 🌷😋 We also had jasmine tea, which was warm and comforting. Overall, everything we ordered was genuinely good — great for sharing with friends.”

  “This is one of the best restaurants I’ve tried in Chinatown – definitely worth the recommendation! The food is really tasty and portions are generous, although it’s hard to capture how good it looks because of the lighting inside (and maybe the cloudy weather that day 😅). The service deserves 100 points – honestly one of the friendliest teams in Chinatown! Food highlights: ⭐⭐⭐ Tomato rice noodles: good flavor, but a bit too sweet and sour for me since I ordered a lot of savory dishes. My friend enjoyed it more. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beef stir-fry: reminds me of Hunan-style beef, but more tender and with a bigger portion. Great for sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fried prawn balls: absolutely delicious! Big, fresh, crispy outside and juicy inside – perfect. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet rice wine dumplings: really good, but I expected it to be cold instead of hot (it was a hot day). ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pumpkin cakes: super tasty, even better reheated the next day. Overall, a fantastic spot – I’ll definitely come back! 📍Mi Canteen, 4 Macclesfield St, London W1D 6AX”
