Min Jiang London Reviews
I am a single mom traveling with my two kids from
I am a single mom traveling with my two kids from California to London for spring break and my kids are ages 9 and 10. We had lunch at Mayfair chippy and did not plan to order a whole bunch of food but we did want to try their roasted duck dinner. So I ordered a half duck and Xiao long bao, which we could not completely finish. The waiter, an older Cantonese man, gave me some very degrading attitude after I ordered these items and said in a passive aggressive way 'JUST TWO?' And I felt compelled to explain that my two kids only eat the amount of 1 adult and we just hope to try the duck dinner. I don't even know why I felt the need to explain myself and it felt very strange and unpleasant. The waiter cuts me off even before I finished my sentence by saying 'okay okay' and left the table as I was finishing my sentences. It was a very passive aggressive attitude. Of course. No smiles or eye contact in the meanwhile. When the duck dinner came, he brought up the side dishes, and he asked me in Chinese - 'you should know what these are, you don't need me to explain anything right?' In fact even though I was born and raised in China, it would be nice for my kids to hear and learn and enjoy the 'high end Chinese dining experience'. But because this waiter has been throwing me attitude since the beginning, I told him 'no need to explain'. He asked us if we wanted sparking water or flat water, without saying that flat water is going to be bottled flat water. Fine, he brought up bottled flat water and opened without my consent. I though maybe that was my misunderstanding and didn't say anything. But as I was almost done eating and asked for the bill, he OPENED ANOTHER BOTTLE of that flat water, again without my consent!!! Our glasses were all half full when he did that without my consent and when I was checking the bill, he forcefully poured into our half full glasses to make them full again. That action as really pissed me off - my family have owned a modern Chinese restaurant and I know all the sneaky tricks waiters do get just a little more money. Service is non-existent unless you splurge. I asked the manager what's going on here - first the degrading attitude because I order 'ONLY TWO' and then this forceful sale of water without my consent. Manager cuts me off and claims he cannot refund my credit card charge, and offered to have me bring the 3/4 bottle water home. We have other plans afterward so I refused. Then he said, look, the two bottles are $11 pounds, he will just give me $5.5 back in cash. I told him this is not even about money, his employee is outright rude and judgmental. I do not even think ordering a duck dinner and another side order is considered too little, we could not finish the food either. The service here is bitter and very judgmental - they will judge you and provide minimum service if they think you are not worth their time. Very unpleasant experience. I feel discriminated, judged and treated unfairly. Food was sub par - roasted duck in LA is way better. Beware.
YOU MUST CALL THE RESTAURANT AND RESERVE THE DUCK AHEAD OF
YOU MUST CALL THE RESTAURANT AND RESERVE THE DUCK AHEAD OF TIME. Or sorry, no Peking duck for you! This was the first words out of our smiling waiter as we put in our order. Having made our reservations a month ago from the US via Open Table and reading nothing about the order ahead requirement, we were dismayed enough to cancel our dinner and walk out. Seeing our disappointment, our waiter went away, came back, and told us a duck had been found. Found? Hmmm...we wondered where the spare duck came from, but never mind, we ordered it along with several other dishes. The duck came in three parts - neck fat, sliced duck, and a choice of preparations for the leftover bits. We chose cubed duck in lettuce cups. The fatty and succulent duck was the highlight of our dinner and the accompanying condiments and the thin but sturdy pancakes worked perfectly in harmony. The spare bits of duck in tiny lettuce canapés had a strange bitter flavor and were not successful. The medley of vegetarian dim sum was delicate and pleasing. The other dishes were either on the bland side or overly salty. We agreed that without the Peking duck, our long-anticipated dinner would have fizzled. So please remember: CALL THE RESTAURANT AND RESERVE THE DUCK AHEAD OF TIME.
Great food.
Great view. Decent prices. Very good service. We had a party of 8, including a 2 and 4 yr old. Very accommodating.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Min Jiang London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Min Jiang London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Min Jiang London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Min Jiang London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
