Shikumen London Reviews from The Last Year
They offered us an excellent tilapia maitos, very good, just the entire Amazonian dish.
In Arano they offer us many traditional meals of all kinds of food to come and enjoy when you come with your family or visit us.
Discriminates against babies and young children
We made a reservation to celebrate mother's day across three generations. We sent an email to pre-order a duck and asked for a high chair for a toddler and we would bring an infant. Two minutes later, we received a phone call to say the restaurant was full and we were no longer allowed to come. Surely the restaurant will maintain this false alibi, but as a test we asked friends to book the same-sized table online and also on the phone. Both tables were booked and on the phone the same exact person confirmed immediate availability. It is a real shame as the food is quite good. We have done Chinese New Year here and birthdays here before. However, the front of house staff do absolutely no justice to the chefs. In Chinese culture we have round tables because families eat together. This restaurant, however, discriminates against babies and young children, and to have done this on mother's day is an absolute disgrace. Shame on you.

Not worth the price tag
Don’t know how this has 4 stars. Tasteless and greasy. Very expensive. £22.80 for prawns which we pay £10 for at home and our £10 ones are far better. Left with our stomachs turning from all the grease. Staff were friendly and did knock the prawns off the bill but we didn’t eat much of anything and resented the fact this meal had cost us £140. The rose was nice but that’s about it.
Appalling service. They take Deliveroo orders which they do not fulfill
This restaurant has the most appalling customer service. We have eaten here in person and experienced very slow service. And now for the second time we have ordered takeaway via Deliveroo and they have failed to deliver. The delivery time is now 3 hours on the app. It is disgraceful. There is no compensation and not even an apology.
Avoid this restaurant
My wife and I dropped in for a late lunch on a Sunday. On making our way through the entrance towards the restaurant we were approached and asked if we had made a booking by a waiter (who later identified himself as the manager) holding a tray of dirty glasses. We explained that we did not. We were told to stand by the door and wait whilst a table was cleaned. We were then told to stand closer to the door, past the deserted bar entrance,and the manager then started to wash glasses whilst ignoring us for a few minutes. My wife asked how long we would need to wait and was told with real disdain that it would be 5-7 minutes because we had not booked. We could see empty tables in the distant interior. I asked whether the manager had actually asked someone to clear a table and he said we would just have to wait as we had not made a booking. His demeanour was deliberately rude. My wife very calmly challenged him on this asking if he could not even make eye contact as he flapped his hand at us to tell us we could go if we did not like that and talking over her, saying, again, that we could go then. So we walked two minutes around the corner to Westfields and had a lovely lunch with excellent service at a restaurant there. If the man we spoke to really was the manager he has a lot to learn about basic manners and hospitality. We certainly would never want to set foot in this restaurant again and cannot recommend that anyone do so. Shocking rudeness.
impressed customer service!
I went for lunch with friends today. the restaurant was so busy and waiting for the tables but seems not enough staff on the floor. however staff are brilliant. when we got the table and order, one of staff who is very fashionable, wearing smart hat is very friendly and helpful us to choose the menu. just impressed, such a nice customer service and we enjoyed our lunch more. I recommend this restaurant with also nice food!
Excellent authentic Chinese food
Went there last night as a convenient choice because we stayed in the Dorsett Hotel. The decor of the restaurant is modern and traditional, not like those typical cheesy restaurants in the China town with the old fashioned decor for the sake of it. The service was fast, the peking duck was tasty, we also ordered black pepper lobster which was super, the crab meat tofu served in bread was also highly recommended. The egg yolk rice crackers are more of a snack than a dish. We also ordered stir fried morning glory. The potion of all dishes are generous, the two of us couldn’t finish all these. Overall, a very enjoyable and satisfying meal. 👍
Decent Chinese food, speedy service
We visited for dinner on a Saturday evening. The place was busy, but not full. It was assuring to see that many of the other diners were of Chinese origin. Our family of 4 ordered the salt and pepper prawns, a half roast duck, black pepper beef, sweet & sour chicken, morning glory, egg fried rice and some noodles. The food was decent throughout, and the signature roast duck was a highlight. Portion sizes were generous and we ended up packing some of the food to take home. Service was highly efficient. We asked for the food to be sent out as it was ready, and were surprised to receive our entire meal within 10 minutes! While this clearly meant a lot of food was pre-prepared (including the roast duck), this did not detract from our enjoyment of the meal. The bill for our sizeable dinner came to £220, of which £40 was spent on drinks. This did feel a bit pricey, but overall it was a solid meal. I live locally and would consider a repeat visit. NOTE: street parking nearby is for residents only between 6:30pm and 8pm, and available on pay by phone at all other times. We dined at 7pm so had to park at the W12 shopping mall which was a 10 min walk away.
Terribly bad. Not to eat. Too expensive. Do not!!!
Food was dry and tasteless. Price is completely out of proportion to what you get. The two of us spent 180 euros for menu B. They make it seem like they have a Michelin star, but this was in 2020. Not recommended at all. If we would have paid half, it would actually have been too much.
Really bad customer service.
2nd time I’ve eaten here whilst on business and it’s not any better. The barman/waiter is extremely rude. Food was nice enough. I got 15mins to eat it and then they turned the lights and air con off. They even asked me and another customer to pay whilst eating my food. Horrendous customer service. It’s a shame as they have lost my business and any corporate dinners I would have organised.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
