Isn't there a large Chinese restaurant located in County Hall? We tend to go to Chinatown too, though. Last weekend we took a vegetarian friend to Joy King Lau on Leicester Street - it's the first time I've been there in years and the decor looked faded (a sign inside the door said it was closing soon for renovations), but the food was as good as ever and the vegetarian was quite impressed. I've heard good things in the past about Mr Kong, on Lisle Street. It's a nice walk from the London Eye - builds the appetite!
London, United Kingdom
Looking for a restaurant recommendation

When I lived in London, I used to go to Mr. Kong's a *lot*. I always enjoyed the food in there. The deep-fried duck in yam paste was artery-cloggingly superb!! I heard recently that the chef, manager and on of the waitresses recently moved to a different restaurant in Chinatown. Anyone know any more details? Si Article 1138 of uk.food+drink.chinese:
