About

House of Ming offers a world-class dining experience, mixing authentic Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine with a London twist inside the five-star St. James’ Court Hotel in Westminster.

The opulent interiors intricately weave traditional Chinese elements into a rich tapestry of decor, harking back to the grand Ming Dynasty. The intimate dining area boasts ceilings hand-painted by award-winning artists, custom-made furniture, and dramatic shades of green and red. The soul of House of Ming rests in the spiritual symbol of yin and yang, representing life and energy, which is embodied in the delicately crafted gingko leaves throughout.

Romance is a prominent theme here, with love-seats boasting their own sumptuous curtains in order to provide couples a more discreet dining experience. With the addition of an antique brass button that can be pressed for a one-of-a-kind surprise, House of Ming aims to delight and surprise. The restaurant has also collaborated with TV chef and DJ Gok Wan to curate a seasonal, bespoke soundtrack, creating a truly sensory experience.

This showcase of rich culture continues from the decor to the food. With a menu carefully designed by Hong Kong-born head chef Dickson Leung and executive chef Sujoy Gupta, highlights include authentic, shareable dim sum, such as prawn truffle siu mai, and crispy taro and oyster dumpling. You may also find larger dishes like stir-fried lobster and king prawns with XO sauce, but it is the signature Flaming Duck, prepared at the table, which adds to the impressive performance. There is also an imperial dining fixed menu, with 17 courses, for those wanting to explore the chef’s choice.

An exclusive tea sommelier provides individual tea pairings from their tea trolley, and the experimental drinks menu also incorporates Asian-inspired ingredients to provide exciting flavours. For instance, you might try House of Zhu, a vodka cocktail mixed with clarified oolong tea, grapefruit bitters, and adorned with pink blossom, presented in a Chinese teapot. In addition, the restaurant offers some of the finest global wines, with a special commitment to showcasing smaller, up-and-coming vineyards, particularly selections from Chinese chateau wines. Altogether, House of Ming works to provide a luxuriously authentic dining experience.
