Mailinda Charcoal Hotpot: Reviews & Ratings
I came here for a buffet twice and found it very delicious! I like the beef and lamb slices. It is fresh and a good portion for shabu. The service is good depending on how busy the restaurant is. Very like this restaurant and came back for a buffet soon!
This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Isle of dog, it's a hidden gem and my go to restaurant. The food is authentic, big portions, service is attentive and fast, friendly. Highly recommended!
One of my favourite Chinese restaurant in London. If you love spicy food, this is the right place to visit. Overall the food here are amazing. And there are something you must order, cold dishes such as chicken 口水雞。 beef 夫妻肺片。 hot dishes, double cooked pork 回鍋肉。fish鍋包魚。chicken 乾鍋雞。 highly recommend!!
I had the stir fried chicken with dried chilis, and LOVE it, I’ve been back for it twice now. If you appreciate Szechuan style Chinese food, you will like this place. They use proper authentic spices. I got the stir fried chicken with dried chilis to go, and I appreciate the use of the chilis and Szechuan peppercorns that leave your mouth feeling tingly But be forewarned- if you cannot handle spice, order something else. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating answering my questions and happy to make recommendations. A true gem in this neighborhood that in other blocks can feel corporate and sterile. Will return and recommend.
The price for all-you-can-eat was reasonable, and the ingredients were fresh. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they even offered charcoal hotpot, which I had previously only experienced in China. As a big fan of offal, including beef tripe, goose intestines, and cow aorta, I was pleased to see that they had it all on the menu, and they got it right in terms of flavor and texture. The only downside was the tomato soup, which tasted somewhat artificial. However, the numbingly spicy soup was awesome, and definitely worth trying. I heard that their Sichuan food is also quite good. I didn't get a chance to try it this time, but I will definitely be coming back to give it a taste.
Great local Chinese eatery, specializing in hot pot but also with a great selection of a la carte menu items. The cold beef and tripe and other Sichuan specialties are my favorites! Highly recommended if you are looking for authentic Chinese food.
Not sure why rating is so low, but I loved it every time I’m here. I live nearby and comes here very often, good food and value for money too!
Don't let the rough around the edges put you off. The food is so good. Our family of three, chose the hot pot which was 37 per head with 8 meat options and 8 veg options - all portions were very generous. Really traditional style charcoal hotpot, fresh ingredients and great service. A must try.
