The Reindeer Restaurant & Inn in Newmarket

Very crowded sometimes but for a good reason - has the best roast duck, meats and wonton soup in London. Attentive and quick staff and service

Good food but have extremely nasty staff like a female manager & the cashier. They have no people skills & how to treat customers & don't deserve to be employed in an establishment where there are a variety of customers who these nasty staff think that they can shout at & misbehave with! Ridiculous. 18.3.22 Tasty food & a pleasant waitress with whom a chat was had about unpleasant & cold staff who do no justice to the Cafe nor the hospitality business! 4.9.22 Tasty food & slightly better service. 2.11.22 Tasty food & friendly service by the owner as well. 11.11.22 Tasty food but has now started charging for small pots of sauces! Ridiculous. 25.11.22 Tasty food served this time by friendly & helpful staff. 13.2.23 Tasty food served by helpful staff & owner. 10.3.24 Tasty food served in a clean & bustling environment by helpful staff & friendly manager Sunny Lee. 27.6.24 Tasty food served by staff who are now friendlier & even assist customers i n choice of food to order. 28.9.24 Tasty food served by friendly staff in a clean environment with overpriced cans of soft drinks 🍸! 22.12.24 Hard BBQ meat & vegetables served by some confused staff in a generally clean environment but cramped surroundings. However with washbasins that are overflowing with water 💧! 2.2.25 Tasty food of mixed meat 🍖, scrambled eggs 🥚 & Udon Noodles 🍜 served by friendly staff & owner manager. 23.4.25 Tasty mixed meat ( which could have been softer!) with scrambled eggs & ho-fun noodles served by friendly & accomodating staff in a clean environment. However, some crooked customers seem to order a lot of food which they can't possibly finish & then want to leave without paying! 22.9.25 Tasty food & soups served by friendly staff who however seem to get the orders mixed up!

Great simple Hong Kong style food Taste tends to be strong and concentrated but can be asked to tune down - excellent flexibility Service is fast and precise - definitely serve the purpose Decoration is rather old school Hongkee local cafe style Not a place to hang in forever rather just eat and leave Reasonably value for money

Update 2025 - £10 per head cover charge. Weekends are always busy. You do get the fresh roasted meat on weekends. Best get there early as they can run out of roast meat. It closes early on Sunday as it shares the entrance with the supermarket next door. This place is reasonable priced for what you get. You won’t get cheaper places other than Chinatown in London. Portions are generous and the flavours are close to what you can get in Hong Kong. The staff can be terse - do not expect silver service. I had worse service in Chinatown - London, Birmingham, Manchester. If you love roasted meat come to this place. The roast duck and roast pork is great. Carpark is under the supermarket 4 hours free parking (as of December 2022).

Many people know their food and bakery but their cakes are amazing as well! It's the more 'old-fashion' traditional Hong Kong cakes, fresh cream, not very sweet. £18 for a one-pound cake, recommended for 4-6 people, we think easily for 6-8 people. It's an absolute bargain, as many insta-cakes sell for £35+ for the same size.

A nice low key restaurant inside the Chinese supermarket 😋

Good Cantonese food and friendly staff

Really enjoyed the meal at the Reindeer cafe! They offer traditional canto style dishes at a very high standard. The charsiu was perfectly cooked with a good balance of fattiness and lean meat, with a subtle hint of sweetness from the honey. The roast duck was really tender and flavourful as well. The garlic choi sum was simple but delicious — well seasoned, not stiff or overcooked at all, and you can really taste the wok hei. Our highlight of the meal was the lamb hotpot, it was so tasty and the lamb literally just slides off the bone!! The portion size was generous so I’m glad that we brought some Tupperwares with us, wouldn’t want to waste any of this delicious food!! There’s a bakery in the cafe as well — we’ve particularly enjoyed the coconut peanut 糯米糍(mochi) and the egg tart. And oh! Don’t forget the milk tea too, which was made to perfection and perhaps even better than some of the 茶餐廳 I’ve been to in HK. Will definitely come back again for another meal!!

What a lunch. I ordered the chilli black bean beef with soft noodles. Portion was enormous, beef was velveted and so so tender, and the sauce was a perfect remedy for the plain chow mein. The pan fried dumplings were perfectly cooked, not chewy from being over/under cooked. Only problem is the food took 30 mins due to kitchen failures, and the chilli oil lacked flavour. The Chinese tea was the best I’ve had and only costed £1. Will definitely come back! The Cantonese bbq roast meat looks divine, 80% of tables ordered it.

Nice Chinese food, good portions, fast efficient service. Prices are very reasonable. Will come back!
