Kai Mayfair London Reviews
Meh
I'll start with the positives, such as they are. The food is okay, as in perfectly edible, for the most part quite tasty even, just not particularly interesting, and nothing you couldn't get in countless other Chinese restaurants. The servi
I had the most amazing experience at Kai Mayfair! The decor
I had the most amazing experience at Kai Mayfair! The decor and ambiance was chic, modern and red!The wait staff and manager were top notch. My friend and I are foodies, and we asked a bunch of questions and they were very attentive and thorough in a
Immensely overrated
I was supposed to come with my wife she finally couldn’t make it. The restaurant is probably overrated because it is in Mayfair in an unbeatable location. There is more to that than being in LONDON’s prime, premium, super-luxury location. Prices
Amazing service
Wonderful service. Food is good apart from Chicken and chillie, which was bitter and too dry to moisten the plain rice. Would go again but order differently.
Great food packed with flavour , an understated restaurant feel but it really delivers amazing food - great service - for us better than park chinois
Kai Mayfair: Michelin Star or Remould by Mistake
The service was genuinely excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food was a real letdown. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, I expected bold flavours and some creativity, bu
Such kind and welcoming service, thank you for the best night and amazing food
I wasnt sure what to expect but the whole experience was a delight. The staff really care for the customers, helping us select items and making us feel so warm and special for the duration of our experience. The food was incredible - we started with
As always, a delight
As always, amazing. A wonderful welcome at the door, professional and courteous service by Boris at the table. Dinner was beautifully presented and prepared to maximize the unique flavors of Asian culinary. We are in London once per year and alway
I love how this restaurant is so vegetarian friendly.
The ma po aubergine/tofu and the spicy mushroom hotpot were amazing. We also really enjoyed the coconut/mango/lychee dessert.
Wonderful afternoon tea
The staff are friendly and helpful explaining how everything works and what was on the menu. A shout out for Isabella who is an outstanding member of staff. The food is absolutely exquisite we had afternoon tea you definitely won’t be disappointed
Not good
We was so looking forward to a meal at this restaurant, unfortunately we ignored some of the bad reviews and went ahead with the booking anyway . Upon arrival the front of house was not exactly welcoming , the food was cold and had to be sent back
Very disappointing!!
What a disappointment we booked for lunch on Sunday 23rd February they offered us a table at 2.30. We arrived got taken to our table ordered a drink each and ordered our food at 2.45. The waiter came back over to advise us all our food would come to
Great
Everything we had was absolutely amazing. Not traditional Chinese food, more like an interpretation of British food but the flavours are wonderful and some real skill in the execution. Service excellent and we had a truly memorable experience
London's best Peking Duck! This is definitely the place for
London's best Peking Duck! This is definitely the place for excellent Chinese cuisine. After a lifetime of Hong Kong jaunts this is the place to come to in order to get your fill of the East in a cool, sophisticated ambience. The service was imp
As someone who's very fussy about food and an expert in
As someone who's very fussy about food and an expert in judging if the food is authentic in the authentic Chinese way, this place is really good. I will definitely go back and invite all my friends to try themselves. Probably the best Chinese fo
Crispy duck is incredibly dry.
Servers were rude and service felt rushed. Nowhere near worth the money.
Well worth a visit
What a treat! Our first proper chinese fine dining experience and it did not disappoint. The presentation of the food is superb with the vegetarian scallop started being a work of art! The deconstructed bao buns were delicious, sezuan tofu main perfe
The best Michelin Chinese restaurant i’ve ever visited!
I have to give this place a 5/5! After visiting Kai Songbird at the Corinthia Yacht Club in Qatar we had to try out Kai Mayfair. We were two at the table and Teresa was our most exceptional host. We had Prawns on Toast, Wasabi prawns (divine!!!), l
The Aromatic Crispy Duck was very dry, a poor choice,
The Aromatic Crispy Duck was very dry, a poor choice, especially as the lamb we observed on the adjacent table which was occupied by a famous US tennis professional looked scrumptious. At this level, one would expect every choice to be spectacular.
Michelin star?
A perfectly reasonable Chinese restaurant, but you'd be disappointed if you were expecting Michelin star quality food, presentation or service. I would recommend you go there, have a portion of the Wasabi prawns then go elsewhere.
It Doesn’t Get Any Better
My wife and I were not expecting this level of cuisine even though Kai had earned a Michelin Star! It was, in a word, extraordinary! We might have caught them on an exceptional day, but I don’t think so. Attention to detail at this level is not an
Amazing!
Such a delightful evening at Kai. Superb appetizers beef, shrimps, squid… to die for Peking Duck (a must try). Excellent service from Teresa, Enrique and Wynn. A true chinese culinary address to experience while in London. We will go again, and aga
Unique afternoon tea
Went for the afternoon tea which was delightful - but a little underwhelming for a Michelin star restaurant. I could sing praises about the presentation of the meal; the tableware is gorgeous and the food is attractive and plated beautifully. Howe
Poor, poor and then very poor!!!
We returned to Kai for the 8th time. Previously, we - and various guests - we entertained at Kai had loved the food and ambience of the restaurant. This visit however, was very very poor!! A Michelin star??? We would have to say - How did they get t
Easily one of my favorite restaurants in London.
Conveniently located in Mayfair. This spacious and moody restaurant does evoke the spirit of big Asian cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong. We came with vegans and vegetarians and service was so helpful in having us make an informed decision. We got wa
My favourite ❤️!!
Fabulous restaurant with outstanding service, my favourite in London. Recommend wasabi prawns, aromatic duck, sea bass almost everything as I’ve tried everything . It’s worth a visit
Honestly disappointed.
The service was a bit weird here. Outwardly friendly but not that helpful.What I remembered of the food - the wasabi prawn was good but it's not that unique. It tastes like wasabi honey mustard on a shrimp tempura. And the pandan creme brulee had lit
My recent experience was not the first at this beautiful
My recent experience was not the first at this beautiful restaurant. I took my daughter to the afternoon tea. We arrived slightly early but we accommodated straight away as the table was already set. As I have a mobility issue, the hostess, very kind
Top Notch!
I've been here twice, the food is fantastic and their sweet & sour pork is totally next level. It's a really beautiful restaurant and they are generous with their spacing and don't seat you on top of each other. Not cheap, but you get what you pa
Not worth while
Not sure how this restaurant achieved a Michelin *, ambience ok, nice enough surroundings. Starters again ok! Super small and hot & sour soup £29, 3 spoons, and finished. Middle course qtr duck , absolutely nothing remarkable in fact really dry,
Absolutely fantastic food with brilliant service
The late Michael Winner, apparently visited this restaurant around 13 years ago and wrote a poor review. He must have got out of bed on the wrong side that day or perhaps he was very unlucky. Everything about this restaurant is 100% terrific. Every
Disappointing
I have been coming here for more than 35 years, but this particular visit went off to a bad start: I wanted to book a table for 4 at 7.30 pm and was told that none was available at that time, but only at 6.30, which is a bit early for us. But we acce
Staff have no clue about allergens-why do they have a Michelin?
Do you have gf soya sauce? - "Yes and no- we have both sometimes gf sometimes it has gluten. The supplier gives us both"?!!! So can you cater to someone with a gluten allergy? "depends how bad is your allergy. Some gluten free allergy
1st Disappointment In My Favourite Restaurant
Been Going To This Restaurant For Over 3 Decades . Dinned Here Over 200 Times. Yesterday Was The 1st Time I Saw Standards Drop The Industry Is Going Through An Awful Time But No Excuse For Having Uninformed& Untrained Staff On The Floor So Man
Very nice indeed
We visited with my daughter for her birthday, to be clear it was not inexpensive. However the food was delightful, as with many London restaurants they do dick two ways which is fantastic, the belly port was divine and Lobster Lobster was just perfec
As usual amazing!
This is our favourite restaurant in London and we visit every time we are in London! Amazing! The Tiramisu Martini is to die for! And they have a great variety of Vegetarian dishes! Crown of Jewels is delicious!! Superb service!
Disappointing
A little bit disappointing, and not what I would have expected from a Michelin starred restaurant. The service was fine, except that they got one of our orders wrong (wasabi prawns rather than the vegetarian wasabi chai - perhaps this could be clarif
Connect with users posting reservations for Kai Mayfair London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kai Mayfair London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kai Mayfair 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 Kai Mayfair 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
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Kai Mayfair 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 EternalAnt36 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, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36'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 Kai Mayfair 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.
