May Fair Kitchen Review

We had the oriental taster menu and it really hit the spot. Every course was delicious and well executed. Portions are small, but if you don’t have a huge appetite you will be satisfied. Pricey, but that goes with the territory. It is attached to a hotel, but it doesn’t fell too corporate - a pretty good ambience even though it wasn’t that busy for a Thursday night.

Very classy place with chilled ambient vibe music and excellent service.I ate yellowtail gyozas, prawn tempura and black cod.The gyozas were more like tacos really, light crispy shells, open like tacos. Very tasty.The prawns were huge and battered in a threaded style of batter. Came with a lovely spicy mayo.The black cod itself was lovely (2 pieces) but it was in a large bowl of sauce which was like a vinaigrette frankly. It was so tangy it really overpowered the whole dish. The waiter had recommended me focaccia on the side to finish the sauce but sadly i ate one of the 4 pieces of bread and gave up as the sauce was just too tangy. I wouldn't recommend to order this dish because of the price and the sauce.Overall a great experience however and i liked the place.

My go to for a dressy night, went to the theatre after. Lovely ambience and food. A little pricey but worth the flavour profile and attention given.The tempura is fab, start with that!

Nice venue and ambiance, service was also good. We were both quite hungry though after the 3 course menu, very very small portions. The baby chicken for example is served without any sides at all and we paid 5£ extra for four slices of focaccia. Service charge is 15%.

Food on point and portion is right. Servers are very attentive however there is still room for them to polish their serving skill. And also duration of waiting for another person’s main dish took more than 20mins. Hopefully the F&B team could take note on this and adjust the timing better in the future. Otherwise it was a good dining experience.
