Taipan Mk Description

Taipan is a Chinese restaurant based in the heart of Milton Keynes' Theatre district. Our food combines high quality and fresh ingredients to create a very modern take on traditional Chinese dishes. And because we are independent, we can craft new dishes and create bespoke meals to cater for individual tastes. Our chefs have worked in some of the most high profile restaurants in East Asia including the 5 star Shanghai Hilton and the Hong Kong Jockey Club (Formally the Royal Jockey Club). Because of their experience, we are able to offer a wide selection of dishes of the highest quality dishes, with Seafood and Dim Sum being some of our most established and popular dishes. At Taipan, we don't do anything by half measures. Our ingredients are hand-picked by our chefs from the highest quality sources - even our seafood menu has more dishes than most specialist seafood restaurants. The quality of our food is supplemented by our drinks menu, which includes a variety of some of the finest wines and champagnes from around the world. We'll help you decide what drinks best complement your food, to ensure that not a single taste is wasted. If you would like to know more about what goes in our food, please get in touch via our contacts page and we'll be more than happy to chat.

The Taipan is the best Chinese restaurant for miles around. Have eaten there hundreds of times over the years. Always like to go for dimsum on Saturday. Marvellous !

Taipan has to be my favourite chinese restaurant (apart from Hong Kong of course!). Food can be expensive here, but it's true that you get what you pay for, and the food is always freshly cooked and piping hot and very tasty. Highly recommend.

User

Absolutey perfect delicious fresh food, lovely staff. Dim sum a real treat. My picky 3 year old loves the char sui buns. Great place for large groups.

User

6 years in MK, and this is our go-to restaurant for good Chinese food. Taipan has seen me as a preggie, and seen my children grow. The servers were so familiar with our family and they were like uncles and aunties, doting on my kids and watching them grow. We have left UK now to go back home to Sg, but we would honestly have not survived our homesickness without the excellent Chinese food and the familial atmosphere there. Thank you, Taipan for the great food and the great company. Hope everyone is good and keeping well! We will be sure to visit you if we drop by MK again! Xxx

User

Went for a meal out on friday (23rd feb) was really nice service, food came out quick and was cooked nice and even when a friend arrived later they took her order and brought her food out very quickly so we were able to eat together. Only problem was it was very cold and we all kept out coats on!!! But food and service was great. Thank you

User

We enjoyed the food. Authentic I'd say. Nice portions, decent price.

User

Was in Milton Keynes shopping and decided to have a bite to eat with the other half, very nice evening and the food was very good

User

This Sunday there was no seating left on ground level so we headed upstairs. As far as I can tell this place serves authentic Chinese; this includes classics such as Lo Mai Gai, Shu Mai and Ho Fun (which had impressive "wok hei" on our first visit, though a bit less so on the second). Some say they thought the food was expensive; I thought 30 pounds for 2 was reasonable. We ordered from the dim sum menu and at this price we had jasmine tea, marinated tofu, ho fun with king prawns, steamed har gau, a crab dish (I think) and oozing steamed custard buns; which altogether was certainly enough food for two to satisfy. The first dish took a little while (15 minutes?) but as they kept coming while we were tasting the various dishes, this never was an issue.



A service charge (about 10%) was added to the bill - I always find this a bit cheeky but I would have rounded up and have ended up paying the same otherwise.

User

Really good great plain chow mein chicken dish was nice but not as illustrated on the the menu. Otherwise very good and the staff were lovely and attentive to the children

User

I only ever go to Taipan for Dim Sum. They are top notch and very well priced.

Make sure you book a table as it can get busy at weekends

User

Best Dim Sum around and well priced it's authentic it's tasty and it's quick. I spent several years living in HK and crave this stuff.

User

Yes meal as expected but felt it was expensive

User

We have been to Taipan many times and until last night we have enjoyed a five star service. Last night they let us and themselves down. For the main course we ordered a prawn dish and a crab dish plus two different rice accompaniments. The prawns and both rices arrived together, but after 25 minutes there was no sign of the crab. Each time we queried the whereabouts of the crab we were told “it’s coming soon”. Eventually as the rice had gone cold we decided to leave. The prawn dish was excellent, but the evening was spoilt because we only got part of what we ordered and much of the meal went cold waiting for the remainder. I was then shocked that they expected us to pay in full for what was delivered to the table.
