Chinatown London

I recently visted London's Chinatown for the first tiem.

I had reviews on various websites about how the area is changing but our family certainly found it a lively and vibrant setting.

Several reviews also refer to poor quality of food, poor service and poor value in some of the myriad restaurants.

It is sometimes difficult to choose because of the number of restaurants in this closely packed area, but we wandered into the Super Star Restaurnat in Lisle Street which offered a pre-theatre menu of several different dishes at less than L10.00 per head.

We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the service was very efficient as we explained that we had to return to Paddington to catch an evening train.

Chinatown in London for me was an amazing experience it was one of those places I had never been to but heard so much about it that you felt you must go and see for yourself.

As you enter the area of china town you are faced with a huge gateway painted in red and gold and glittering with brightly coloured lights, the next guarrenteed experience is an overwhelming mixture of wonderful smells of chinese food so much that you instantly feel hungry, and this is the best part about chinatown you are then faced with which one of the dozens of restaurants to choose from.

There are also two large supermarkets in chinatown with every possible authentic chinese ingredient and product you could think of and more.

There is far too much for me list here, so I must urge you to go and see for yourself......
