Zhejiang restaurant

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant in London, especially around Elephant Park, and it quickly became one of my top picks! The ambiance exudes a calm, authentically Chinese vibe with plenty of space to relax. The waitstaff adds a personal touch, making you feel like you're right in the heart of China.They serve up dishes that are hard to come by outside of China, offering a truly unique dining experience. I had the pleasure of visiting during crab season, and crabs were incredibly fresh and delicious. Every other dish we ordered was equally authentic and packed with flavor. The attention to detail in how they plate the food is impressive too.One standout feature is their see-through kitchen. Watching the chefs work their works a whole new layer of excitement to the dining experience.In terms of location Just a short two-minute walk from Elephant and Castle station, making it incredibly convenient. With its exceptional food and accessibility, this place easily earns a solid five-star rating. It's a definite winner in every sense!

I had a delightful experience here. The food was a true culinary delight.The atmosphere was cozy and tastefully decorated, creating a pleasant dining environment. The staff was courteous and prompt in taking our orders and making sure we had everything we needed. I'll definitely be returning soon.

My partner grew up in Shanghai and he told me this place is legit! He’s super excited about the side dish that has tofu and a lot of greens. It’s my first time tasting this kind of vegetable and it’s surprisingly refreshing. My personal favs were the sweet and sour fish and the braised pork. Of course you can’t go wrong with Xiaolongbao, it’s a must try. The overall vibe is great and the dishes were sent to our table fairly quickly which is a plus for me.

My experiences here is absolutely flattering! It’s nice and quite, staff are friendly as well. I love the Shanghai smoked red snapped fish and the braised pork the most! So tender and great balance between salty and sweetness.If you want to try good quality Chinese food and don’t like all the fried and spicy dishes out there. Please give this place a go, everything here will give you a surprise!Even their tea is one of a kind, not plain jasmine or oolong but a blend that have both so it’s not too bitter while still full of Jasmine flowery flavors.

Shanghai steamed crab meat soup dumplings is really delicious. Stir fried rice cake with flower crab is tasty. The most modern and cleanest restaurant that I have been.

Strongly recommend！Very traditional and delicious Zhejiang dishes. One dish called Stir-fired rice cake with flower crab is amazing! Must try it!

Went here for lunch - service was a bit slow because we were at the end table but the staff were polite. The interior is very nice and well decorated, but quite uncomfortable as the tables don’t allow much leg room.The food was okay - not the best I’ve had bur the crab rice cake dish was very nice. Presentation and portion sizes were great, the salted duck was especially generous. Overall, the food could have been a bit warmer as only the xiaolongbaos were hot. The food was also quite expensive but it was a good experience.

My favourite Zhejiang restaurant in London! Very authentic Southern Chinese food. I love the crab so much.! The decor is exquisite and everyone is friendly, a wonderful experience!

The dining environment is particularly cosy, the whole restaurant is decorated in a simple yet elegant way, with a quiet environment and soft music. It is a great place to have dinner with friends.The food is really tasty and the characteristics of Zhejiang cuisine are well preserved. Zheli is worth coming back for dinner.
