I enjoyed the interaction with the waiter from the Four Seasons so much. He definitely has that uncle energy. The lady at the Taiwanese restaurant was so sweet and welcoming, I definitely want to try there. Chinatown and the whole Soho area of London has some great food places.
I went to London three times, still can’t get enough. Thank you for such a great series (I request more unedited content) because you’re literally such a cool person. love you david ❤
Our Chinese foods in the Caribbean is really tastes awesome.....fried rice ....noodles ....stir fry veges ...fried chockrn....my favorite ....The London ones looks really good too... would love to try sometime.....As always Thanks David....be ssfe....Peace
Im a Londoner living in London and watching your content has been very enjoyable. This has made me want to visit chinatown again. I wonder where you'll be going next 🤔
Awesome thank you so much Sirisiri. I've got something very special planned for the next videos, I really don't want to spoil it 😂 But I can give a hint, but so far we haven't seen a lot of monuments or landmarks yet, as well as some of the classic "british" dishes that are commonly recommended when visiting London.
As a Chinese myself my Grand parents worked in China town, as I was old enough to go there myself. I was eating midnight feast, in Soho China town. While watching a live triad fight from the top floor. It was live entertainment😂
I’ve been in England for 21 years, I could tell that China town has been changed a lot, you could find so much more different types of food from different parts of China then before.
David I’m going to London to visit my family soon and I’m going to China Town, the waiter at Four Seasons was hilarious. 😂😂😂 hope you were able to go to Camden Lock, it’s one of my favorite places. 🙏🏼💕💕
Soju is Korean as you know. The Korean Alphabet is super easy to learn only 24 characters, if you learn the general shapes you will be able to quickly tell the difference between, Korean, Chinese and Japanese products. Kanji, Hangul and Traditional are all very different and once get get a general understanding you will be able to quickly spot the differences.
@@Davidsbeenhere dave its a pleasure to watch u in my country.. im originally from Luton .. so if u want street food.. mainly Asian. .. try thr . But look ur a gem good sir x
To be honest, instead of eating Chinese food, I would rather eat British fish and chips! My favorite so far is Italy Tuscan food! Maybe you can go to Italy on your next trip! 👍🥰🙏👌 BTW, A Well-known British musician Brendan Kavanagh performs his usual live broadcast at London St Pancras Station in London several days ago. Play the piano, have fun and interact with the crowd. He's been doing this for a while and is quite successful. Unfortunately, this week was the beginning of a nightmare for Brendan, who had a very rude interaction with some Chinese nationalists, they seemed to think they knew British law better than he did, and told him he couldn't shoot his video. A well-known pianist was performing in London but was asked by the Chinese to "obey Chinese laws". The British police officer chose to help the Chinese but not him. How heartbreaking this is!
How did you know it is Chinese law? Those were Londoners and not tourists as Kavanagh said they are. He is an absolute prick and racist at that. Hope they sue his ass off.
Don't talk rot. Those Chinese r Falungong people deliberately set out to create propaganda against China. If u watched that video at the beginning the Chinese woman even said she's British. The loud mouth Chinese guy had been shown to be also British Chinese living and working in London. They r Falungong members or China haters who r funded by the US and the West against China. If u weren't so brainwashed by all the propaganda u would see the whole thing is a fake set up. Maybe u r actually one of them too.
he is amazing I agree. off camera he was also an absolutely kind hearted and gentle person. He was just putting on a "show" to be funny. Hope he sees this.
I'm from London, born and bred, and whenever I go to Chinatown I eat at Four Season, I usually get the crispy pork belly and the duck with rice! But next time I will definitely try the Taiwanese place simply because of that sweet lady! She was awesome!
David love your videos. Really loving the ones of you in my home the UK. Your always welcome here and so is everyone with peace in their hearts. Thanks David. Steve
London has been absolutely incredible. I admit I had some difficulties with filming access and overall openness to filming in comparison to many other places I've been. That said, it was a great place so much so that I'll be back again and sooner than later. That said, its definitely a place you need to budget correctly, its an expensive place for sure.
@@Davidsbeenhere Ok it would be good to see you in the UK again. And yeah london can get pricey for sure. Im originally from Grenada and been following you since you did the series there. Keep up the good work brother 🙌🏽🇬🇩🇬🇧
Awesome! Grenada is a great place, you are lucky to be from there. Met some amazing people Grenada when I was in London too. Blessings Steve, really appreciate you!
Amazing video David!Completely unrelated to the video but when you visit Canada try KFC and compare it to Trinidad and Tobago,Jamaica and Antigua and Barbuda.
This trip is focused only on London. I'm coming back soon though to go to Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bath and more. Oh and more London. Trying to make up for lost time with my folks in the UK!
Love your videos but very disappointed that your coverage of the Chinatown Bakery didn't include any of their amazing "grab and go" dim sum. Planning a trip back to London just to go back!
I think its quite interesting that when food bloggers go to India, they eat Indian food, when they go to China, they eat Chinese food, but when they go to Britain, they eat Chinese and Indian food.
Unfortunately the best have closed or been taken over by other companies or pushed out from rising rents $ London isn’t supporting its Chinatown. Censorship isn’t helping.
Weird David, I've seen plenty of other videos from other TH-camrs who've shown these exact (and some you didn't show) shops and restaurants. So, who is the they that won't show us this side of Chinatown bro?! BRO!? Is it the Chinese food lobby??? Is it Gordan Ramsay trying to keep you down?! :) *Edit* I meant to add, that Taiwanese restaurant, one of my friends who lives just outside London - her family LOVES that place. And they indeed get the noodle soup. But they get it very spicy, and when they say "very spicy" it'll blow your face off apparently. And that lady who (I assume) runs the place, is so nice all the time. My friend and her family are from Brooklyn like me so we're used to "real" Chinese or Taiwanese food, let alone the Americanized stuff of course. Brooklyn's Chinatown is pretty good (better than Manhattans if you ask me, which is overrated and a tourist trap from hell) but we almost always went to Flushing (even back in the late 80s it was terrific) and three very specific spots in the Bronx. So many great memories. This is why I love it when you do videos covering Chinese cuisine/Asian food. Always good memories, even though I'm old as dirt now and barely remember my last name :D
Its not weird lol. Respectfully the "They" is the mainstream media and many other videos which often fail to highlight the human and personal stories in their coverage. Sure, Chinatown has been covered before but often it is focused on yum yum food coverage. The They is the content that failed to capture the human stories and elements that I was seeking to capture. Its as simple as that. Sorry I just have gotten a bit of flak for this but I feel like its fairly straightforward. Appreciate your support LordLOC. Also I'll be back to NYC soon to cover more Chinese food of course. Appreciate your edit.
@@Davidsbeenhere I know what you meant trust me, I was just being sardonic with my stupid jokes lol though to be fair some of the channels I subscribe to do go out of their way to go into the history of these places and talk to the people there as well. But yeah, it's usually about the "food porn" stuff, which is getting so, so old now.
Fair enough, I'm a bit of a jokester myself though through internet text it can be tough to tell sometimes. Definitely there are tons of amazing creators and channels who do some incredible coverage. Many of them are my friends and peers in the YT world! And if anything I'd have liked to delve even further into things. I always want to keep my food angle but I would rather spend a more time talking to locals and understanding the world around me, rather than just stuffing my face. I look to Anthony Bourdain as a huge creative inspiration on that area! I just really want to tell stories about real people and try to impact the world in a positive way. So glad you feel the same, wishing you peace and blessings and a great weekend LordLOC.
@@Davidsbeenhere I'm just glad you are showing that there is more to the UK food scene than bangers and mash or beans on toast lol Yes....those are staples and very popular of course. But like the US, the UK is a melting pot of peoples and cuisines and has been for a long time now. The Chinese influence has been huge there (as it is here) along with the Indian influence (I mean the national dish is tikka masala, isn't it?) among many others as you have shown. As with music, food is a universal language and shared by everyone. TH-camrs who show this, channel it, and always try to show the positives in a community or their food, are always a fun time to be sure. Talking to the people who make the food, or run these spots, or just live there and can give you advice, is sort of the whole point of these sorts of videos I think, isn't it? Anyway, I don't want to suck up all of your time responding to my long ass comments all day lol But I said this in one of your Jamaican videos recently - thank you for being so positive and spreading the people and food some of us will never be able to try sadly. :)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments LordLOC, really appreciate your insights and we are in complete agreement. I'm a huge fan of my fellow food TH-camrs, like Mark Wiens, Sonny at Best Ever, Luke Martin, Food Ranger, and even the other travel TH-camrs like Drew Binsky, Peter Santanello and many others definitely agreed they all show such amazing and thoughtful perspectives on the places they visit. I think thats one thing we can bring to the table thats different from the typical perspective. I do love the Rick Steves and Bourdains of the world though. Probably my two inspirations. Anyway thank you! But stay tuned because I've got a bunch of quintessential British content coming soon, in fact I got access to film with a very special guest.
London's Chinese population is about 130,000 -Paris is 600,000 (higher than San Francisco). However London's Chinatown is much more central and popular with visitors. Needless to say the majority of both populations do not live in the respective Chinatowns.
Dave .. wanna try middlesbrough.. serious food scene ere .. I been marooned up hr 9 yrs now but if the wife's in a strop .. I can always get some fantastic munch x
honestly I'm coming back in the relatively nearish future. I'd love to hitup the rest of the UK, specifically i'm coming back to London, but also visiting Birmingham, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool, Bath but I think a trip up towards Newcastle, Sunderland, and that area would be cool too. Heck a Premiere League Food Tour would be the real dream here LOL. Every Club Team in the UK. It'd be a long video.
General Tso is not made up American BS. General Tso's (or Zuo's) chicken is the most famous Hunanese dish in the world and it was developed by a Taiwanese chef Peng Chang-kuei.
London ChinaTown restaurants has the worst customer service in the whole UK but guess what, we Londoners have accepted that they will never change so we just go their for their quality of food and we don't expect any humane customer service lol
🤣 I mean the recommendations in the video were great...four seasons for roast duck, dumplings legend, leongs legend, wong kei (legendary bad service but in a funny way and kind of good though its changed recently), maybe even gerrard's corner for a quick bite, golden gate bakery. Hope that helps.

of course they eat! they are also my friends and I just don’t show it on camera because i’m not sure my audience would want to spend valuable time watching my staff eat. but that said of course i do!
Its a shame most chinese is microwaved and of a poor quality when getting a local takeaway . In London suburbs anyway ! The Four Season at the top of the road is excellent and a bit cheaper than the one on the main drag.
TBH most of those Restaurants in Soho are a bit like Turkish Barbers here in the UK. Occupy Prime real estate; hardly anyone in there and the owners supercar outside. Make your own conclusions.
What kind of service do you get at the four seasons restaurant? OMG, if im treated that way as a customer, i dont care whether they have the best peking duck whatsoever, i will get out immediately. This is not the way you treat a customer!!! The waitress was way too unfriendly, but the guy(boss?) was not better at all. How do you talk to your customer. Its the way how you communicate with customer. If you are in Hong Kong, thats fine. I know how they treat customers but you are in Europe!!!
Thank you so much for the comment and good to see you Sioux! Really appreciate your years of support. I wanted to just be fair and clarify that the Four Seasons guy was putting on an "act", its sort of part of the whole experience. He was being funny "purposefully" rude, but off camera he was a gentle and kind man. It was all just for fun and there are a few other restaurants in London Chinatown with a similar thing. That said, I do appreciate you looking out! Wishing you a blessed week Sioux8!
I have been going to the Four Seasons restaurant for 25 years in Chinatown, London. My mom used to love it as well God rest her soul in peace. Management has changed and the food is not as good as it used to be. The last time I had Lobster with ginger and spring onion and duck and rice. It was overpriced and it didn’t taste good at all. I was very disappointed.

What I love about your videos is that you interact with people, not just the food. You are so damn wholesome ❤
Absolutely loved this video David! Keep more of them coming! Really enjoyed it! ❤
I really enjoyed that Asian dude at the restaurant you went to for the Peking duck 🦆 lol
he was a true GOAT, agreed. good to see you too Bobby.
@@Davidsbeenhere I've been trying to catch up on your London videos
Love the London experience so far. China Town is my favorite video yet. ❤
Londoners will know that you never mess with the restaurant staff in Chinatown unless you want them to wipe the floor with you! 😆
HA! Literally 😂😩
TRIADS

That should be normal behavior from any normal human being though
It's PEE-KING or CRISPY DUCK AND PANCAKES NOT PECKING DUCK AND CREPES 😂
I blame the cold weather? 🤣😔
David when are you going to eat English food 🤷🏽♀️ and bring your pepper sauce when you do🫣🤭
going for the beef noodles tomorrow.......love the channel.....that lady was great

I'm sure they have a website. Its important to support independent shops!
You didn’t visit my favourite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown , I don’t even know what it’s called but it’s just so amazing
make me drooling
Cantonese cuisine is a relatively niche cuisine. Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine are more popular in China, with heavier and spicier flavors.
Like your vids before seeing !
Looks delicious
You going anywhere else in the UK or just london and back?
This trip is focused only on London. I'm coming back soon though to go to Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bath and more. Oh and more London. Trying to make up for lost time with my folks in the UK!
Dave man.... its pronounced pee king .. not pecking 😂😂😂😂
Came here to say the same thing! Beijing used to be known as "Pee--king", not "Pecking". Dave, even the staff tried to subtly correct you!

Classic Hong Kong style restaurant service, haha, although this is not a Hong Kong style tea restaurant
Was it so cold in the restaurants that you needed to keep your scarf on?
It is said Pea-king not Peck-ing, Ilived in China for 5 years, they are passionate about their food, But not much of a 'bedside manner'

Did you visit any African restaurants whilst in the UK???
It's pronounced Peeking duck. Even the chinese waiter said peeking duck. You don't always pronounce the words how they look like most Americans do.
But the worst service some waiters are so rude part of the game❤❤🎉🎉😂😂
I was wondering if you feed your cameraman and your other local friend. I feel bad for them.
of course they eat! they are also my friends and I just don’t show it on camera because i’m not sure my audience would want to spend valuable time watching my staff eat. but that said of course i do!

*No sorry KINGFEEMER from India is the most popular beer in the world !!* 😊
Its a shame most chinese is microwaved and of a poor quality when getting a local takeaway . In London suburbs anyway ! The Four Season at the top of the road is excellent and a bit cheaper than the one on the main drag.

A lot of places don't want you filming because of illegal workers
Pecking Duck ???
I got food poisoning at that restaurant you said was rated best in London 🤢
4 season is not Chinees
So awkward 😅😅😅
lol Did you just pay 3.5 pounds for a single Pork Bao?
TBH most of those Restaurants in Soho are a bit like Turkish Barbers here in the UK. Occupy Prime real estate; hardly anyone in there and the owners supercar outside. Make your own conclusions.

chinese old man lived up to the sterotype lmaooo
The guy doesn’t know what he’s ordering
Hahaa! What rip-off... "Chinese"... Yea..............
What kind of service do you get at the four seasons restaurant? OMG, if im treated that way as a customer, i dont care whether they have the best peking duck whatsoever, i will get out immediately. This is not the way you treat a customer!!! The waitress was way too unfriendly, but the guy(boss?) was not better at all. How do you talk to your customer. Its the way how you communicate with customer. If you are in Hong Kong, thats fine. I know how they treat customers but you are in Europe!!!
Thank you so much for the comment and good to see you Sioux! Really appreciate your years of support. I wanted to just be fair and clarify that the Four Seasons guy was putting on an "act", its sort of part of the whole experience. He was being funny "purposefully" rude, but off camera he was a gentle and kind man. It was all just for fun and there are a few other restaurants in London Chinatown with a similar thing. That said, I do appreciate you looking out! Wishing you a blessed week Sioux8!
I have been going to the Four Seasons restaurant for 25 years in Chinatown, London. My mom used to love it as well God rest her soul in peace. Management has changed and the food is not as good as it used to be. The last time I had Lobster with ginger and spring onion and duck and rice. It was overpriced and it didn’t taste good at all. I was very disappointed.
