Located in Leicester Square at the heart of London’s Chinatown, Canton Kitchen is one of the neighbourhood’s longest-established Cantonese restaurants, founded in 1955.

Guests can expect an extensive menu built around classic Cantonese cooking. The selection includes dim sum, dumplings, roast duck, chicken and pork dishes, fresh seafood, fried noodles, rice dishes, soups and a wide range of plates designed for sharing. This variety makes Canton Kitchen suitable for many different occasions, from a quick weekday lunch to a large family meal or a relaxed dinner with friends.

What makes the restaurant special is its sense of continuity. While Chinatown has changed greatly over the decades, Canton Kitchen has remained a familiar destination for traditional food, generous portions and straightforward hospitality. Many customers return for the comforting flavours and broad choice, while first-time visitors can experience the style of classic Cantonese dining that has long been part of the area’s identity.

The atmosphere is informal, lively and welcoming, reflecting the character of a traditional Chinatown restaurant. Rather than focusing on trends, Canton Kitchen offers the dishes people know and love, served in a setting with genuine history and local character.

After more than 70 years, the restaurant continues to bring people together around shared tables and traditional Cantonese food.
