Lido Chinese Restaurant is a long-established Cantonese dining room at 41 Gerrard Street in London’s Chinatown. Serving the neighbourhood since 1969, it combines the bustle of a central Chinatown restaurant with a broad menu suited to quick lunches, family meals and larger shared dinners.
Dim sum is an important part of the offering, with steamed and fried choices that include prawn dumplings, custard buns, chicken feet with black bean sauce and glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf. Ordering several baskets lets a table explore different fillings and textures in the traditional sharing style.
Beyond dim sum, the menu ranges across Cantonese meat, poultry, vegetable and seafood dishes. Sizzling chicken with chilli and black bean sauce and spicy prawns with cashew nuts sit alongside rice and noodle choices, while set menus make it easier for groups to sample a balanced spread.
The restaurant’s extensive choice is matched by beer, tea and a wine list drawing from several countries. Its central location, late opening pattern and combination of small plates and substantial shared dishes make Lido a flexible option for both daytime and evening Chinatown dining.
