Gold Mine 金山楼 - Said To Be The Best Chinese Restaurant In ...
food value location ambience staff
[London] When it comes to roast duck supremacy in London, 3 players are battling it out: the well-established and pricier Four Seasons, New Fortune Cookie and, the largest of the 3, Gold Mine.
If you’re hankering for Chinese food in London, then Gold Mine in Bayswater is said to be one of London’s best.
Time Out lists Gold Mine as one of London’s best Chinese restaurants, while TripAdvisor ranks it as #14.
More often than not, people come here for the signature dish Special Roast Duck Cantonese Style made extra succulent using fatter-than-others Irish duck, minus the robust gaminess.

The Insatiable Eater: Striking it lucky at Gold Mine, Bayswater
food location
I've tried a couple other places on the strip (there used to be a good Malaysian there until it seemed to run out of cash to pay the rent) but I now tend to gravitate towards either the Gold Mine or The Magic Wok.
But the Gold Mine tends to win me over with its good soups, its lovely smokey noodle dishes and its home made chilli oil with its amazingly deep, rich and complex flavours.
On a recent visit to the Gold Mine, Mr B and I were hankering for some noodles, but we were almost thwarted by a seemingly full restaurant.
The Gold Mine's Singapore Noodles hits the holy trinity of flavours of this classic-but-easy-to-screw-up dish - the deep smokey notes imparted by a well seasoned wok, a good deal of heat from the chilli and curry and the great textures of the noodles and veg.
On other visits to the Gold Mine, I've also eaten the house special soup, which is a surprisingly delicious mix of meat parts, offal and otherwise.
Food Review: London's Famous Roast Ducks | The Battle of Four ...

London – Who would have guessed that one of the most popular must-eat restaurant in London is Four Seasons, where hordes of Asians visit the restaurant for their popular Roast Duck.
Question is, which of these three restaurants in London does the best Roast Duck?
Be prepared to queue longer during the peak weekend meal hours, although you are almost sure to be rewarded with some really enjoyable roast duck and possibly the friendliest service amongst the three restaurants too.
The winning formula in London seems to be the fatty Irish Ducks, and of course, the palatable Sweet Dark Sauce which enhances the overall flavours well, balancing the otherwise greasy meats.
If your cravings for these Irish Ducks strike you before your next trip to London, you can always visit the Four Seasons restaurant at Capitol Piazza – although we would warn you about the lack of consistency here.

A couple of years ago there were upheavals at The Four Seasons in Queensway and one result has been the barbecue chef Zhi Man Wong recently opening Gold Mine not far away.
Lacquered ducks and roasted meats hanging in the window like succulent washing advertise his expertise.
Ignoring first courses such as spare ribs, crispy seaweed, sesame prawns toasts, spring rolls and the like, we decided to start with half a Cantonese roast duck at £7.50 and a portion of barbecued pork (char siu) at £6.
The pea shoots were fine although they had a sheen of what seemed like not the freshest of cooking oil, a detail that was to become even more apparent in our main courses.
A deconstructed duck à l'orange Chinese-style would be the way to find riches at Gold Mine (the two stars are for the duck).

Crowds come for a roasting at this Cantonese duck and pork specialist on Bayswater’s high street.
The dining room seems to have been decorated on a tight budget and, as with many Chinese cafés, red (symbolising good fortune) is a popular colour, appearing on carpets and chairs.
Large gold-framed pictures of vintage Chinese scenes add a cheery note.
Unsurprisingly, top marks go to the Cantonese roast meats, especially the duck and char sui (barbecued pork).
If you’re in the area and after no-frills Cantonese food, this is a little gem – though its next-door neighbour Toa Kitchen is better.
