Square Meal Review of Chinese Cricket Club ?

The Chinese cricket team may have some way to go to beat its rivals India & Pakistan in sporting matters, but its culinary namesake at the Crowne Plaza hotel is proving that Chinese cuisine can mix it with the best in the lip-numbing stakes. The kitchen eschews MSG in favour of a spiced-up Szechuan armoury, including liberal quantities of chilli, marinated garlic & fragrant ginger. Nibble on sweet pickled cabbage before working your way through the dim sum menu – perhaps crisp black cod ‘gow gee’ in tangy miso paste or deep-fried shards of salt & pepper aubergine. Mains might yield chicken in sweet vinegar or prawns with chilli & black beans, before crossing the East China Sea for chawan mushi – a Japanese egg-custard dish with gingko seeds. Food-friendly wines, too.

    We really enjoyed our celebration at the Chinese Cricket Club reently, the food and service were fantastic and the menu just that little bit different. I am delighted to see that the ‘CCC’ is being recognised as one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. We will be back with friends soon.

    I recently took a client to the Chinese Cricket Club and had a superb meal. The soft shelled crab and the orange beef were particularly good.
    The portion sizes are large so do watch out when ordering as you can easily overdo it. The quality of the food however allows you to get over this. Well worth a visit whether it be lunchtime or supper

    Having met some friends at the Crowne Plaza near Blackfriars recently we decided to have lunch at the Chinese Cricket Club, as we felt being a party of 10 we couldn't go wrong. How right we were, we found the service to be excellent along with the wine and particularly the Champers, which should accompany every celebration.
    We had the Chefs Dim Sum to start with such classics as Prawn har gao and what I found out to be Chicken wor tip. This was followed by sof shell crab which was delightful, with Prawn Chilli & Black Bean and what for me and the whole party felt was the stand out dish, Fried Perch…UNFORGETTABLE!
    All in all we had a delightful lunch and would recommend the Chinese Cricket Club to anyone, go and enjoy you won't be dissappointed.

    Was a little surprised to find another great restaurant at Crown Plaza City but this is a Sublime! A wonderful experience from beginning to end with wonderous food, luscious wines and great service – it all exudes a total commitment to creating an aunthetic and memorable meal. Dim Sum was by far best since visit to Beijing and sliced duck, sheer heaven. Restaurant Manager choose our selection of food and wine and it was just perfect. All staff were attentive and delivered a rarely experinced level of service. Decor was gossamer light and in harmony, difficult to achieve in a busy hotel but they have really delivered, and then some. In two minds to review as want to keep this rare gem a secret ! This is a must visit if you enjoy quality Chinese cuisine in London.

    As Roald Dahl would say “scrumdidlyumptious”. We recently enjoyed the most lovely evening in the company of Tony Chan and his team at the Chinese Cricket Club. Never really knowing my way round a Chinese menu with what would compliment each other I left the choice up to Tony – of some of the dishes he choose for us the stars for us where the tea smoked duck salad, the soft and plump steamed dim sum and the Hunan Lamb, however without a doubt the dry sautéed green beans for anyone ordering beware!!! you’ll want more…I would suggest ordering two portions edible by the bucket.

    Turned up on the offchance and was treated like royalty. The service was impeccable and the Restaurant itself quite classy – although based in a posh hotel, it ought to be.
    We ordered the Silken Tofu – delightful but best not eaten with chopsticks – waiter brought spoons without being asked. The squid was sublime. Both quite chili- hot but the food is based on that part of China.
    We followed on with Seafood Noodles (enormous) and the Beef in Orange. Excellent. Don't want to bang on about it but we came away totally delighted. Meal for two with a great bottle of Marlborough Pinot Noir came to £84. Tap water supplied and two helpings of pre dinner nibbles.
    Staff could not do enough. Saw a waiter giving some guy a short lesson in how to really use chopsticks!
