This is a good and Upscale place. They charge 12.5% service fixed - non removable, for 4 or more people which did irritate me. Service is good and food is quickly served.
We had hot and sour soup ( not sure if it was hit and sour or something else) plus Tom yum soup was amazing. Highly recommended. We also had duck , tiger prawns , sweet and sour chicken (ok) and chilli chicken (ok as well) egg fried rice were ok.
Overall bill 95£ for 2 adults and 2 kids without any drinks.
Food wise taste is good and it’s halal so an added plus .. definitely coming back..

One of the better halal-friendly Chinese restaurants in Central London.
Let’s get the obvious but irrelevant over with right away. The restaurant is owned by Jimmy Choo - which in my opinion is neither here nor there :-)
I went to the place in a big group of friends which allowed us to sample a number of things.
We had
1. The Fragrant Crispy Duck - 9/10
2. Chicken in Black Sauce - 7/10
3. Singapore Style Vermicelli - 8/10
4. Crispy Beef with Chilli Sauce - 9/10
5. Egg Fried Rice
6. Hong King Styled Steamed Seabass Fillet
Service is good and food is quickly served.
Verdict: Recommended
Food/ Quality - 4/5
Location/ Ambiance - 4/5
Price (Value for Money) - 4/5
Service - 5/5
Others (Central London Location) - 5/5
We have visited with my partner a few times and we were happy with the food. Particularly we loved the appetisers and the curry but all the rest is delicious too. The selection of desserts could definitely be improved as it is mainly based on ice cream.
Went here today with my husband and had a great time. The food is really tasty. It has a peppery spice to it, which we both really liked. It comes fairly quick and the portions are a good size. The beef was really tender and full of flavour, but my favourite was the chicken. I also highly recommend the hot and sour soup, it was really good and the portion is even big enough for two people to dip in (as a starter) :)

My all time favorite. The food is delicious. Definitely recommend this place - 5⭐️
Wow this place is a hidden gem, tucked away in a beautiful residential neighbourhood, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The customer service demonstrated to us by the manager who greeted and seated us, and the waitstaff was exceptional! We were impressed that they checked back after a short time to ensure we were enjoying our meals, as I find so few places do that now. Staff are attentive but not intrusive and our order was out in a timely manner. Compliments to the chefs as we can highly recommend your chicken with cashew nuts and special fried rice - chicken is so flavourful and tender, and the rice so delicious and fluffy. Thank you for making a memorable meal and great dining experience for my mum and I visiting from Australia. All the best to your business - AAA+++
Everything about this restaurant is fantastic. The food is hands down the nicest food I’ve ever eaten in a Chinese restaurant. We had crispy chilli chicken, chicken with black bean sauce, egg fried rice and sweetcorn & chicken soup for starters. AMAZING! The staff were so friendly and attentive too. All in all, a brilliant restaurant, I couldn’t recommend it enough.
100% recommending!! Excellent service even when they were so busy & super professional & friendly. The food was probably the best chinese ive had!! We ordered the diced chicken & prawn wrap (you get this on a plate with lettuce & make your own wraps), the veg spring rolls, sea spice aubergine & egg fried rice. Every dish was unbelievable & not oily at all (which is a big plus). Portions are fairly big. Between 2, we ended up spending £30 each. I am definitely coming here again
Food was good and service was excellent. Menu is not as extensive as other Chinese restaurants but this is a good thing ! I'm giving 4 stars because the food is the same 'style' as any Chinese restaurant, so nothing new to "write home about". Would definitely visit again though.
This was our first time visiting Maximini, we did not make any reservation and we were made to sit based on pur preferences within minutes. The service was superb, servers and manager were super attentive. The ambiance was also quite good. We ordered hot & sour soup, it was truly amazing and we received it within minutes. The main courses were a slight led down, as the quality of beef was not up to par (black pepper beef) and the battered chicken was too sweet. We will definitely visit again because of the service and soup. Hopefully we will try different main dishes and I am sure they will be better than our previous choices.
