Four Seasons Wardour Street is a busy Chinese restaurant at 23 Wardour Street in London’s Chinatown. It belongs to a restaurant family that began in Bayswater in 1990 and built its reputation around Hong Kong style roast duck. The Wardour Street branch has a lively, informal atmosphere designed for quick lunches, group dinners and shared evening meals.
Roast duck remains the signature attraction, combining crisp skin, tender meat and the restaurant’s closely guarded seasoning. The barbecue selection provides further Cantonese favourites and can be enjoyed with rice, noodles or vegetable dishes. Golden king prawns in salted egg sauce add another rich house speciality with a contrasting crisp exterior and savoury coating.
The menu also explores the stronger heat and fragrance associated with Sichuan cooking. Kung pao chicken, crispy shredded beef with chilli, fish slices cooked with hot spices and lamb brisket in spicy wine sauce offer several different expressions of spice. Smaller plates allow groups to sample these flavours alongside the restaurant’s Cantonese staples.
Steaming hot pots, seafood, tofu and seasonal vegetables give diners ample scope to assemble a balanced table. The broad choice suits both guests arriving specifically for the famous duck and those looking to explore beyond it. With Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square nearby, Four Seasons Wardour Street remains a convenient and characterful Chinatown destination.
