   Dinner at the Chinese Cricket club was a fairly soulless experience. The venue is in the Hyatt hotel and it was get echoey and didn’t feel warm or welcoming. Service was good and well paced. Food was very average and no better than you would find in any standards restaurant in Chinatown or similar. They also did not have all dishes on the menu available. Price was expensive for what we got and strangely they add a discretionary 13.5% service charge. The extra 1% makes little difference financially but is just weird that they would do this vs the more standard 12.5%. Overall not one of my better eating experiences and not one I would recommend I’m afraid

   The dimsum are below average they all stick to each other and particularly to the paper on the bottom/ paper both for the hargow and siumai. The food are overly spiced and salty. The sweet n sour the pork was a bit tough to chew. The food seemed like precooked. The white rice lack fragrance and they don’t stick. The fried rice was mixed with the eggs and vegs but not stirred fried. The drink menu indicated tea didn’t come with pot. Table wasn’t very clean and my soda glass was cracked on the top. Overall it’s good value for the settings in London.

   Food was great but we opted for one of the set meals (£60 per head) and felt that the portions were incredibly small. When we voiced this the staff did bring a couple of extra dishes but even after having added a few extra ourselves it wasn’t what you’d call a generous meal! Ambience as well was a little odd, very bright and no music.

   Service and food quality good. Some may find portions small but I prefer it this way. Highly recommend the crispy crab and Shanghai noodles and rice.
