A glowing red facade with gold lettering sets the tone at Shi Fu Chinese, a lively West Kensington restaurant serving food throughout the day. Inside, the look is warm and atmospheric, with Chinese lanterns casting a soft red glow, plants trailing from the ceiling and wooden lattice dividers threaded with greenery to create cosier corners. White tablecloths, large windows and Chinese-inspired artwork complete the setting.The menu is broad, making Shi Fu a good option for family meals, dates, birthdays and group dinners where everyone wants to order something different. Diners can choose from set menus for one, two, three or four people, or build their own meal from the a la carte selection.Open for lunch and dinner, Shi Fu is child-friendly and particularly well suited to sociable, sharing-style meals, whether you are popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a longer evening with friends or family.
