  “Outstanding Scottish lobster, jumbo king prawns, and pristine Dover sole—each prepared with the care and technique they deserve. What sets this place apart isn't just the calibre of ingredients (though they're impeccable), but the authentic approach to cooking them. No unnecessary fussing, no trendy shortcuts—just masterful execution of classic technique. In a city overflowing with restaurants chasing the next concept, finding a place that prioritises both provenance and honest cooking is genuinely rare. This is it.”

  “Want to pass along my gratitude for the entire Blue Orchid last night during my dining experience yesterday. I came last night after watching Big John's posts for a few years. He not only bragged about the food but for the amount of hospitality that one would receive. I was here on a solo trip and had dinner by myself, but it never felt like it. Daniel made me feel at home and chatted with me for quite a bit and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would love to come back one day as I live in the United States, and will humbly brag about my experience to anyone who will ever visit London. Thank you once again”

  “My friends and I visited on 29/7/26 for a belated birthday celebration and we had the most wonderful time. In my opinion, this is the best Chinese restaurant in all of London. The food quality is second to none - it’s all cooked fresh and is beyond delicious. Dragon ribs were a total home run! The staff are amazing too. We were lucky enough to be taken care of by a lovely female server (sorry I forgot your name) who kept us entertained and made sure our experience was to the highest standard. It’s hard to find restaurants of this quality in London - the Blue Orchid is a standout. I can’t wait to visit again! PS - they give you warm plates for your mains - a great touch. I can’t wait for my next visit. Top marks all round! See you soon Matt.”

  “Service was very good, friendly, and the food was excellent. A bit more expensive than the average Chinese but you get what you pay for, less greasy and lots of flavour. If its good enough for Big John then you know it's quality. Boshhhh.”

  “The best Chinese we have ever had!! We travelled all the way from Milton Keynes and was totally worth it. Very generous food portions and great choice on the menu. Very well looked after by the team. We will be back!”

  “Lovely food as always. I know they are extremely busy in here all the time. For this reason you feel a little rushed to order. However delivers every time with flavour”

  “We went there last night, 22nd of April for a birthday celebration . We were a party of twelve and couldn't fault the restaurant whatsoever. The staff, were friendly, the food was fantastic, the service was brilliant in a very nice and clean setting. I couldn't say one thing that was negative about the whole evening. A big thank you to everyone at the Blue Orchid.”

  “Delicious Chinese (Cantonese) food. Quality ingredients and very friendly staff. We ordered the Chicken with black bean sauce, salted chilli King prawns, salt and chilli bean curd and sizzling fillet Cantonese style. These king prawns were our favourite but all dishes were nice. Would definitely go back again.”
