Good service and workers very friendly. Especially pretty ladies with smile and good manners.
Food delicious and fantastic. Especially roast duck, crispy pork, Singapore fried noodles, and spicy food (xiang guo with pork & hui guo ruo) with rice. Food with standard size big portion too.
Will come back again..
Cheers xx

Friendly Service and delicious food. This place is unpretentious and serves solid food. Chef is Malaysian. We ordered the Fried Kway Teow and Shanghai double cooked pork. Yummy!

I have been coming here for years and always eaten extremely well. No, its not a Mayfair type restaurant, but its not trying to be. The food is straightforward and delicious and very good value. The prices have gone up recently, but where haven't they? I love this place and it saddens me there are idiots out there who give it a bad review out of ignorance and/or arrogance.

Oriental Canteen is a small, casual Chinese restaurant in South Kensington. The restaurant has a few tables inside, as well as a few tables outside on the patio. The menu features a variety of Chinese dishes, including noodles, rice dishes, and stir-fries.
I visited Oriental Canteen whilst visiting the local museums on a weekend. The restaurant was busy, but I was able to get a table without too much of a wait. The service was friendly and efficient.
I ordered the crispy pork and rice dish which was nice for the price. Overall it's a nice place to grab a quick simple bite to eat to fill the belly in this busy area of town.

Had the duck on rice, I like how the removed the bone, and added some sauce. Cabbage was a nice touch. Right next to south Kensington station.

Very decent chicken chow mien for an extremely reasonable £8, especially right around the corner from South Ken tube station. Plus outside dining, which was very pleasant on a nice mild Sunday.

It is what it is. Average Chinese food at a good price.
Freshly made milk tea was good. Beer at half the price of what you’d pay in Chinatown. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall experience. Friendly and clean. Pretty cool they still exist in London Zone 1.
