Since opening in 2008, Min Jiang has established itself as one of London’s most respected Chinese restaurants, renowned for its refined Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine, exceptional service and breathtaking views over Kensington Gardens and the London's skyline from its home on the 10th floor of the Royal Garden Hotel.

Signature specialities such as the restaurant’s wood-fired Beijing Duck have earned a loyal following among diners seeking one of the finest Chinese dining experiences in London.

The story of Min Jiang began long before its London debut. The brand originated at the Goodwood Park Hotel in Singapore, where the first Min Jiang restaurant opened in 1982, quickly becoming known for its dedication to traditional Cantonese and Sichuan culinary craftsmanship and refined dining experience.

The name “Min Jiang” (岷江) refers to the Min River in China’s Sichuan province, a region rich in culinary heritage. The name symbolises the flow of culture, flavour and tradition through Chinese cuisine, values which continue to inspire the restaurant today.

Building on the success of the Singapore flagship, Min Jiang London brought this respected culinary legacy abroad to the United Kingdom, introducing diners to an elevated expression of Chinese fine dining in Kensington.

For more than 15 years, Min Jiang London has remained dedicated to honouring traditional recipes while thoughtfully evolving with contemporary tastes.

At the heart of Min Jiang’s reputation is its dedication to exceptional Chinese cuisine and carefully crafted signature dishes. The restaurant is particularly renowned for its wood-fired Beijing Duck, widely considered one of the finest Beijing Duck experiences in London.

Alongside this celebrated dish, the menu features a curated selection of classic Chinese and Cantonese specialities, from handcrafted dim sum and delicate seafood dishes to slow-cooked meats and seasonal vegetables.
