Shikumen

Notting Hill & West London


Named after the delightful Sino-European-styled stone gateways that line the lǐlòng lanes of Shanghai, Shikumen (pronounced shh-koo-murn) serves up an eclectic range of Chinese dishes that explore China's culinary map, from Peking duck to Sìchuān hot and sour soup, mapo tofu, salted and smoked hakka-style corn-fed chicken, Cantonese dim sum and Shanghai xiaolongbao (steamed dumplings).
