8 Treasures - Ealing

A decent mainland Chinese restaurant in anotherwise sea of Cantonese places, which is nice. Quality of the food is ok and I've been here several times but I've become a bit picky lately because I think the overall quality of the food doesn't match the cost.

There was of us... Food was really good. Service a bit slow but staff very friendly.

Having been here close to ten times, my last time was a bit of a disappointment mainly due to two reasons. First, the two meat dishes that I ordered (French beans with pork bits and a sizzling plate of black pepper beef) simply contained too little meat. This drew my attention to the price. This has been one of the few Chinese restaurants to kind of justify their high prices but I'm not so sure anymore. The Xiaolongbao wasn't up to its usual standard either. Service was good as usual.

We tried Ealing's Treasures Chinese Restaurant because it's still pretty new and has been heavly praised in recent reviews. On arrival the staff were welcoming and remained attentive throughout the meal. The beer and wine were well selected and reasonably priced. The food was fine but not as impressive as the reviews suggested. Some of the dishes were tasty whilst others lacked a certain something. Perhaps it was a lack of attention by the chef as it was a quiet night. Overall, not bad.

Great food and an extensive menu, met the owner which was nice but service was a bit slow-took a long time to get the mains out and although staff and service was friendly it was difficult to get their attention at times
