SquareMeal Review of Kaifeng

Sleek, woody furnishings help attract wealthy locals to Kaifeng, which offers just about everything you would expect of a British Chinese restaurant – a huge menu, bustling atmosphere, Sunday buffets & a takeaway menu. But it’s kosher too, so rather than sweet & sour pork you’ll find a lamb equivalent, & there’s no kung po prawns or soft-shell crab. Not that the menu seems depleted: it’s a lengthy affair showcasing all the Anglo-Cantonese favourites (aromatic duck with pancakes, crispy shredded beef, & all). Cross-cultural interlopers such as salt-beef chop suey might be worth avoiding, however. Kosher meat doesn’t come cheap, so expect to fork out handsomely for meals, with 15% service charge further boosting bills. Lunch is a much more financially attractive proposition, with set menus from £20 per person.

Shambolic Evening

Our last evening out at Kaifeng was disastrous. It took ages for the food to arrive. The staff were rude and officious and blazee about not bringing the correct food that was ordered. When we complained, the owner said that the waitresses are probably at 'that time of the month'. How sick

That was the last time we set foot inside that arrogant establishment

If you pay upward of £17 for a dish in a Chinese restaurant, you do expect a decent portion size. But you don't get one in Kaifeng. The beef dish – which was in fact over £18 – consisted of seven pieces of meat padded out with large amounts of onion and lettuce. For dessert seven lychees cost £5.50. There was no soft drinks menu and as the bill wasn't itemised so I dread to think how much the coffee and coke cost. I know that you pay a premium for kosher food, but I felt I had been ripped off at this restaurant and that leaves a very bad taste.
