Gouqi is a contemporary Chinese restaurant at 25–34 Cockspur Street in St James’s, close to Trafalgar Square. Led by Chef Tong Chee Hwee, it draws on techniques and ingredients from across China for a polished fine dining experience, with an understated room, open kitchen views and personalised table service.
Dim sum is an important part of the offer, appearing in a dedicated set lunch and afternoon tea as well as a royal platter with several individual varieties. Barbecue dishes include roast duck and char siu, while the restaurant’s Peking duck can be ordered as a multi stage experience with pancakes and a minced duck lettuce wrap.
Seafood ranges from oysters, scallops and abalone to crab and lobster, balanced by Wagyu beef, Taiwanese three cup chicken, tofu and seasonal vegetables. Rice and noodle dishes make these larger plates easy to share, allowing a table to explore different regions and cooking methods rather than following one narrow style.
Tasting menus, theatre menus and set choices provide structured routes through the kitchen’s cooking, while the à la carte menu offers more control. Two interconnecting private dining rooms suit small celebrations and business meals, and the carefully finished main room is equally appropriate for a long lunch or dinner.
Address: 25–34 Cockspur Street, St James’s, London SW1Y 5BN, England
