Old Town 97 Menu

Old Town 97 is a busy Cantonese and Hong Kong style restaurant at 19 Wardour Street in Chinatown. Its extensive menu and late opening hours make it a practical stop before or after a West End performance, with quick service, generous dishes and enough variety for anything from a simple rice plate to a large shared meal.

The opening selection includes spring rolls, prawn toast, chicken satay, grilled dumplings and dim sum such as har gow, siu mai and steamed pork buns. Hot and sour soup, wonton soup and other warming bowls lead into Cantonese roast duck, crisp pork belly and honey glazed char siu served on their own or with rice.

Main dishes range from sweet and sour chicken, black bean beef and crisp chilli beef to Sichuan beef brisket, mapo tofu and salt and pepper squid. Steamed sea bass, prawns and mixed seafood bring further choice, while pak choi, Chinese broccoli, green beans and tofu make it easy to add vegetables across the table.

Fried rice, chow mein, ho fun, soup noodles, congee and the well known LSE style pork or chicken fillet fried rice provide substantial one plate meals. Jasmine tea, Hong Kong milk tea and sweet desserts complete a menu that moves comfortably between dim sum, familiar classics and regional Chinese comfort food.
