I followed the advice of the late Warren Zevon:
"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein"

We really like Tao Tao Ju at #15 Lisle Street. Have been a few times and always had great food. http://www.taotaoju.co.uk/

oh dear, Lisle street has changed a bit since we used to go there. Seamus's recommendation has tablecloths! and a menu you can understand.
oh for the happy days of formica tables and huge long menus with strange dishes which cost pennies. and being shouted at by incomprehensibly angry waiters.

My two favorite of the more traditional Chinese restaurant variety are Yming and Leong's Legend.
Hakkassan (at least the Hanway Place outlet) is also excellent, but more modern. Ditto for Yauatcha.

oh, they are still there, too, annhig!>>
seamus - thank goodness for that! they used to have wind-dried ducks and all manner of other less recognisable things hanging up in the windows, and those strange plastic curtains in the doors, and I was never too sure about the hygiene standards, but the food was always excellent.
