We had a wonderful family lunch with beautiful views over the park and beyond. Notable dishes were crab and sweetcorn soup, fried squid, a delicious selection of dim sum and the duck which was outstanding and we had the noodle option which was delicious and the gai lan with garlic. The staff were super attentive even anticipating that my elderly mother might need arms for the chair. We had a very happy and memorable lunch and look forward to coming back again soon. Even though we no longer live in London we plan a visit around Ming Jiang!

Always good food and friendly service, great for large bookings too.
