We had a wonderful family lunch with beautiful views over the park and beyond. Notable dishes were crab and sweetcorn soup, fried squid, a delicious selection of dim sum and the duck which was outstanding and we had the noodle option which was delicious and the gai lan with garlic. The staff were super attentive even anticipating that my elderly mother might need arms for the chair. We had a very happy and memorable lunch and look forward to coming back again soon. Even though we no longer live in London we plan a visit around Ming Jiang!

I’ve been to Zaika twice in the last eight months, and both visits have been absolutely fantastic! The experience has been consistently impressive, from the warm and welcoming service to the exceptional food. The staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring every detail is perfect. And the food—WOW! Each dish is a burst of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with the utmost care. Whether you're a fan of bold spices or subtle, balanced flavors, Zaika delivers on all fronts. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it perfect for anything from a casual meal to a special occasion. Both times I left feeling happy, satisfied, and eager to return. If you're looking for a place where every aspect of the dining experience is top-notch, Zaika is it. Highly recommend!
