Master Li Chinese Restaurant

Tucked away in Earl's Court, Master Li Chinese Restaurant champions the punch and poise of Chinese cookery, with a clear affection for Sichuan’s bold rhythms. The kitchen leans into balance: heat meeting sweetness, savour against tang, textures that move from tender to satisfyingly crisp. It is the sort of menu that speaks in aromas first, then in confident, layered flavours.

Gong Bao king prawns arrive with a nutty lift and a gentle sting, while Gong Bao chicken with peanuts plays the same irresistible tune in a different key. Classic Twice Cooked Pork brings depth, smoky richness and the unmistakable sway of Sichuan black bean and hot sauce. For those who crave warm spice, beef with cumin seeds hums with fragrance, and Sichuan pork ribs fold garlic, peanuts and chilli into a moreish glaze of comfort. When brightness calls, sweet and sour king prawns with pineapple and peppers step in with a sunny, fruit-laced snap.

The through line is contrast and conviviality: dishes designed to share, flavours that spark conversation, and cooking that lingers long after the last bite. Book a table, bring an appetite, and let Master Li lead the way, one fiery flourish and pineapple-kissed twirl at a time.
