North China - the best food around!

We took vegetarian daughter and about-to-be son-in-law there on Monday night and had the most delicious meal ever.Some ace chilli beef plus sweet and sour chicken for us meat-eaters. The kids really loved the braised tofu and we all enjoyed the spicy aubergine, broccoli with ginger, mushrooms with bamboo and fried noodles.Oh and the toffee apple and banana too.Bang went the diet. But actually worth it.

The North China in Acton High Street has been a very good Chinese restaurant for mny years - glad its still good.  We used to eat there years ago - loved their steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions in a light soy sauce and Singapore noodles. Almost as good as Soho Chinese eateries imo.

Been going to the North China for more than 30 years. Always good food. We used to speak to Lawrence's mother who sat downstairs playing maj jong when my children's were little. We even played ourselves for a while. The North China is an asset to Acton. Long may they continue to serve lemon chicken.

Yes we are also essentially menu C people too - tweaked a bit. But this was the first time we had done lots of the vegetarian options and it really worked.Ace for seriously nut-allergic daughter as she doesn't do "ethnic" food at all for fear of contamination/misunderstanding but can rely on Laurence and team not to endanger her.

We've been going there about 15 years now. Laurence runs a great restaurant.  We love 'Menu C' and it's such good value for money.We went there last month to celebrate our 20th anniversary.  Traditionally 20 years is 'china' and since we didn't want any china (and certainly couldn't afford to visit China!) we though it would be fitting to celebrate at the North China.  We splashed out on the Chef's Choice menu and it didn't disappoint.  The best lemon chicken I've had anywhere.
