Conceived by Sir David Tang, the founder of China Clubs in Hong Kong, Peking and Singapore, as well as the life-style brand, "Shanghai Tang", China Tang offers some of the best and most authentic Cantonese food outside China. Menus do not compromise on classical recipes and all dishes, including its signature Peking Duck are prepared with the freshest ingredients and traditional spices and flavouring (no MSG).
The rave reviews won by the food have been matched by the sumptuous interior, which is designed to evoke a romantic sense of the art deco of the Thirties. As well as an abundance of chinoiserie, and quirky objets d'art, the restaurant showcases a collection of both traditional and contemporary Chinese art, all personally chosen by Sir David Tang.
In addition to the restaurant, China Tang features an exquisite bar that offers a list of classic cocktails, made to perfection, which can be ordered to accompany the dim sum menu that is served all day. For special occasions, the restaurant also offers diners 3 private dining rooms - Ping, Pang and Pong!
See Sensational duo “Kitty La Roar” and “Nick of Time” perform 1930’s live Jazz every Tuesday in China Tang bar. Join us for cocktails, dim sum and good music!

London's top celebrity spotting restaurants
If you want to dine amongst the stars, we'll give you your best chance...
China Tang at The Dorchester Hotel is owned by a man as flamboyant as his customers, many of whom he counts as personal friends. Kate Moss had business dinners with Topshop boss Philip Green here and Naomi Campbell chose the venue to celebrate her birthday, however in 2009 the restaurant came under fire for serving shark fin soup, prompting former devotees Elle McPherson and Trudie Styler to join a boycott.

It doesn't hurt to push the boat out
Like a bit of celebrity mixed in with your dim sum? Kate Moss, Jemima Khan and Stella McCartney are often pictured at China Tang, and while we concede that Mr Tang’s flamboyant persona may have something to do with this, the restaurant’s beautiful art deco and Chinoiserie-inspired interior provides suitably chic backdrop for London’s A-list.
