Hunan 51 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8NE

"Mixed feeling. Very reasonable price, £65 per head, for a quality prefixed menu lunch. But, it is not a top flight Chinese restaurant. A top flight restaurant would use better ingredients. It seems to me the restaurant has dozens of dishes and recycles them over time. The first course soup dish is the best one. The rest of the course is decent. I’ve to say wines are very reasonably priced, or even cheap. 2011 Ornellaia is 290£. Anywhere else would be more than 400£."

"You will be sitting for a long meal so make sure you give yourself plenty of time. We sat at 12:40 for lunch and didn’t leave until 3:15 PM. Great if you have the time to relax. The lunch is 12 courses but honestly they gave us 20 courses! We felt very full afterwards even though they were all small sharing plates. As for the food itself, there were some clear favorites from the table (the intro soup, the fried green beans and the fried cod) but some of the dishes with meat including the beef was lacking in flavor and the lamb was over cooked. The duck course was a bit dry as well. The dessert of red bean pastry and matcha ice cream was just right and not too sweet, I liked my banana fritter with ice cream. All in all, got more courses than we had expected and some very notable dishes but just enough subpar dishes (mostly the red meat dishes) to drag it down to four stars. Also service was nice but a bit inexperienced."

"Such a great experience for my anniversary. I’m usually skeptical of tasting menus because I never get that full but this one is well worth the money. The small plates are beautifully done and the main course at the end makes sure you are full! It’s like a chinese banquet for two, the format of a tasting menu is actually very well suited for chinese food. Authentic flavors too. They gave us two free flutes of champagne and at the end of the night they had an extra crab dish so we got that too for free! The dessert courses are amazing as well. The staff were super nice and very diverse. I highly recommend coming here :)"

"One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in London. Quality and fresh food, amazing and attentive service, intrigue and excitement behind the unknown menu. Had the vegetarian menu and was very satisfied. These pictures are from a visit a while ago so hopefully don’t ruin any surprises. Anyway, the dishes just kept coming out so there are many more to be surprised by. We were stuffed by the end."

"I am so impressed by the food and how tasty it was. Every dishes was so delicious. The variety of food that you were served with is definitely worth what you paid for. It was a different kind of experience to be having Chinese cuisine in small portion. Loving it so much."
