Fantastic chinese food, with a lot of vegetarian options. Service is second to none with the food being served very hot. Perfect cocktails, very original items on the menu. Will come back.

If you like Chinese cuisine and you are around Knightsbridge, this restaurant is a must. Tasteful food, restaurant’s decor is traditional and simple. It feels like being in China. The staff is attentive and helpful. I will come back soon.

Best Chinese Ive had in a long long time. Everything was perfect. Staff super attentive and quick. AND, VFM was decent. 6 of us ordered practically every starter, 4 mains, rice & noodles, 4 beers each, £60. Perfectly reasonable IMO.

Decent Chinese restaurant! Wish they serve dim sum during weekends.

The food was plain Westernized Chinese food. They seated me right next to the door where the wind was blowing smoke from smokers in front of the restaurant right into my face and food. There were several seats away from the door but they were “reserved.” No one arrived for the seats in the “reservation” 🙄

Excellent service offered at this restaurant! None of our orders were mistaken, waiters and other servers were consistently checking in on us, and it felt like we were never waiting for any food- it just kept on coming!I definitely recommend eating in the downstairs room as you are segregated from the traffic coming into the restaurant from the main street. This certainly made it a pleasant experience for us.I enjoyed the sea bass and the chicken with black bean specifically, however I did think many main dishes weren’t tasty enough for me to put 5 stars above- I’d say that the food was average, but definitely a step up from your typical fast, family Chinese diners.

What a great restaurant, its very peaceful and quiet, the service is amazing and quick, the food is tasty. Its so calm, you can actually hear what your friends are saying at the table. There is no annoying background music either. But I have to give 4 stars because it is very expensive. If you dont mind the price, I would definitely recommend you visit for an amazing experience. Given the coronavirus, they do a well timed takeaway service and the food still tastes great and well packed.

The Good Earth is possibly the best Chinese restaurant in London. The food is excellent. Ive eaten there numerous times in the past 20 years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Food is terrific at the Good Earth. Always start with the soft shell crab and honey ribs. Each has its own unique taste.and flavor. The seabass is amazing although you do need to watch out for small bones. The best dish is the duck. Very tasty and tender.

After 4 days wandering around London we were exhausted and didnt want to stray too far from our hotel so we ended up at the Good Earth Chinese Restaurant which was right around the corner from our hotel. We started with won ton soup which had a very nice broth, tasty veggies and great won ton. We then ordered the Tangerine Chicken and Orange Shrimp, both dishes were very nicely prepared and had nice flavor profiles. I also enjoyed a decent glass of wine with my meal. The servers were very nice as was the food. The next time we are in London and have a hankering for some Chinese food we will stop by Good Earth for a great meal.

Ive been eating at the Good Earth for the last 40 years. Its a classy place, thisbis not Queensway or China Town. This is Knightsbridge and the food is good, it always has and it always will be and I cant wait to visit again next time Im in London. Simply Awesome

What a wonderful surprise! We walked pass it and decided to go in even though it looked almost comically Chinese. We were surprised by the tasty and authentic Cantonese style Chinese food. Their red bean pancake was also very good for desserts.

Review №21

Food was absolutely delicious though heavy handed on the salt. We were vacationing London (from Canada) and our kids really missed Chinese food so this definitely hit the spot! The menu is extensive but quite pricey considering the small portion sizes. The décor was nice however the table situated in a “wall cave” (where we were seated at) was weird and difficult to maneuver around especially when our kids needed to visit the washrooms. Service was great – the waiters were friendly and genuinely interested when asking us questions about our home country and our time in London.

I think this is the best Chinese restaurant in knightsbridge. Even way better than the one opened recently in harrods. You can just tell it is a good place judging by most of the costumers were Chinese. Food tastes authentic and good portion for sharing. They serve dim sum during lunch not for dinner.

Speaking as someone who comes from a city that is full of really good Chinese restaurants, this place has attentive service, reasonable prices, great food with simple ingredients, and amazing lighting for foodie pics - whats not to love?

Always good, can’t beat them in Knightsbridge. We have residence just around the corner so we’re personal and corporate visitors of this restaurant as I consider it a local, so a little biased.... 😆 would highly recommend this Chinese for best of its kind in the neighbourhood.

Chinese restaurant close to the London museums around Brompton Road so perfect to drop into for lunch. Dim sum is home made and there is a special lunch menu so great value.

The food and service was excellent. You can tell that the pancakes that they bring with the roast duck are hand made, as compared to the mass produced ones you get at most other Chinese restaurants.

Review №41

Good food. I dont like Chinese food normally its very sweet and the favalours are not delicate. But this place does a great job of blending different ingredients together and I must say I actually enjoyed it. The staff are very attentive and constantly filling up your water glass etc which is good to see. You dont have to ask for anything more, they usually will have figured out what you need and have already brought it over for you

Review №43

We went to the Brompton Road restaurant yesterday before a show at the Royal Albert Hall. Booked a table online in advance. The food and service was brilliant! Clearly not a busy time of the day for them, but that suited us perfectly! We really enjoyed the food - starters, duck, mains and desserts we went all out! The beef in black bean was lovely and they advised us how much rice and duck we would need between 4 people. Would recommend 👍

Review №45

Great food, great service and nice ambience. We (my wife, daughter and I) had the set dinner menu, and the quality was fantastic! The Peking Duck was a high point of the dinner, as was the beef cooked at our table. The coffee served after the meal was also very good. The staff was attentive and efficient. The interior is also worth a look. Highly recommended!

Would highly recommend this restaurant! My family and I eat there often and always enjoy. The lobster with spring onions and noodles is exceptional and their main courses and desserts do not disappoint. A lovely place to sit and take out of town guests. Food is always consistently good and the staff very kind and helpful.

Review №51

Wow. This Chinese restaurant has to be my favourite in the UK. After ordering and eating there for around 6 years, not once have I been disappointed. The food is excellent - when delivered to my house, it is still very hot, with clean and sophisticated packaging. Also, a note to vegans/vegetarians, they have a whole section of tofu which is absolutely delicious!!! 100% would recommend to everyone. Always a good choice. Thank you :)

Review №55

My family and I came here for a celebration and we must say that we were not too impressed! The fresh lobster noodles were very small in portion and not much meat on the lobster itself, and the other dishes were very slow to be served. All the dishes were extremely overpriced in comparison to the size. We had high expectations for this restaurant as the reviews were brilliant, but we wont be coming back again.

Review №56

If youre looking for authentic Ma Po Tofu, then this is not the place. It was a bit like tofu in cream of mushroom soup and not the least bit spicy. Im sure there are other good options, but this is not the place for Sichuan.

Food adequate, nothing special as some reviews suggests otherwise. Service okay, the manager I think he was, was a bit edgee moody. Not a single smile anywhere, come on wheres The Service with a smile. They also charge 12.5% service on top. Ridiculous for this restaurant, will not be returning as our company have weekly lunch/dinner meetings in the Brompton area.

Used to take clients here when we go to RAH. food is good. however, today come at weekend. shocked by the bad service. firstly they open late as they advertised time. lucky it is not a raining day when you have to stand outside. secondly despite we booked, the people without booking straight way get better table. when we ask to change table they refused. needleless to say we walk away. this is not a restaurant for you when you have a special day or just want to be treated reasonably. We then went around corner to an Italian restaurant, superb service and super food. once you walk into the door you feel welcomed.

Ordered through deliveroo, paid £18 for satay chicken and rice, the chicken was not edible and the rice was dry too. asked for the meal to be replaced as would be impossible to eat like this, I was told no, I received it so I have to have it!!!! couldnt eat it so that a waste of £18 , AVOID food is disgusting and service is even worse

This is a very nice Chinese restaurant in the heart of London. Because it is in London the prices are quite high but the food that is produced is exquisite. There are, I believe, 3 in London. I would recommend this if you are wanting to go out for a nice meal with your family or friends.

Review №69

Honey glazed ribs were just above average. Aromatic duck is fair. Looking at the great service, I expected better. Vegetables were not equally cut and some were too thick to be wrapped in that thin pancake. Duck had no salt and I had difficulty in finding the aromatic part. Not to come again.

Review №70

This one is a bit tricky; the eat in food is excellent but the quality of the food delivered is just average. Service, once you get past the unwelcoming maitre d’, is fantastic. Dining upstairs is much more pleasant but the lower level is still fine. I’m not sure if their supplier of chicken has changed but the taste of their chicken in several of their dishes is unpleasant lately.

Review №77

Been going to this restaurant for the last 16 years. Went the other day and i couldnt believe how bad the service and food was. Had to ask to order drinks after waiting at the table upon arrival (10-15 minutes wait) and the service for the rest of the night was appalling. Ordered the food which was cold (had to get it sent back to warm up) and in general seriously average. They must of changed owners or something. I would of recommended this restaurant to anyone, but not anymore.

Food wasn’t great. Bad service and an “okay” atmosphere. Waiters and waitresses are aggressive and emotionless and very unwelcoming. The “manager” or whatever he was, was very rude, we were new here but sure. It was like he was mad at us for ordering food? I’m very uncomfortable tbh.

Waiter told us that it is a 25 pound minimum per person after we ordered and basically told us to leave......maybe it is because we are american? We just wanted a drink and a small plate as a snack. Definitely telling our friends and family not to go here. It is such a pitty.
