King Tea

Forget the usual group-dining debates—Paddington’s King Tea is where omnivores and plant-based eaters happily collide. Those who frequent this Chinese fusion spot always direct newcomers straight to the eight-course vegan banquet. It’s an absolute knockout. Even devout carnivores leave obsessing over the savory shiitake pancakes. Going à la carte? The Hainan chicken delivers a flawless, punchy ginger kick, while the simple egg fried rice nails that elusive, smoky wok hei perfection. Expect silky pork wontons, massive portions, and a hyper-efficient kitchen that drops plates almost the second you order. Grab a seat outdoors, order a round of fruity cocktails, and dig in. Unpretentious, wildly flavorful, and effortlessly accommodating.
