Kai Mayfair

Founded by Bernard Yeoh, with Alex Chow leading the kitchen, Kai is known for its distinctive modern Chinese cuisine, rooted in flavours from the Nanyang region of Southeast Asia. The menu strikes a confident balance between tradition and creativity, reimagining familiar classics alongside bold, lesser‑seen dishes that showcase the restaurant’s ‘liberated’ approach to Chinese cooking. There’s also a much‑loved afternoon tea offering, giving a unique twist on a very British tradition.

Kai made history as the first Chinese restaurant in London to receive a Michelin star, which it held for an impressive 15 years, and has been widely recognised with awards including Harden’s Best Chinese Restaurant in London. With its impeccable cooking, distinctive identity and enduring reputation, Kai Mayfair remains a go‑to for polished, special‑occasion dining with serious culinary credentials.
