Royal Dragon is very good, plus you can do Karaoke after if you have one too many!

I was going to suggest if you like more authentic food, with basic but functional surroundings then China China is was perfect.

Now closed - so no help to you at all - sorry.

China China was great - sad day when it closed. If you're ever in Canary Wharf though I can thoroughly recommend the Lotus near South Quays DLR. Best Chinese I've ever had!

I live, litrally next to that, can see it from my window, always thought it looked a bit, well......rubbish.

Is the food actually any good then?

Wong kei is huge, cheap and quick, food is 'ok' but there are better ones. China City or new Diamond are both good, and just between Leicester Sq and Gerrard St (pedestrian chintown bit)

Worth bearing in mind you'll get better food midweek as they'll be less busy so the quality won't suffer.

There is a place that does decent dim sum on the corner of whitcomb and shaftsbury. Can't remember what it's called, be a while since I've been into town.

Dinner wise, New Fook La Moon on gerrard street is one of my favs.

Plus the name makes me chuckle and it's relatively inexpensive.

Wong Kei? I've never got it. Is it because the rude staff is "funny"? or the almost provocatively appalling food is "ironic"?

Eaten at CCK with my Singaporen in-laws. Pretty much only orientals in there which always a good sign
