Old Town 97 - BrentfordB+

Unit 8, Brentford Lock, Middlesex, High St, Brentford TW8 8AQ · Chinese restaurant, Cantonese restaurant · Old Brentford

A lively Cantonese spot by Brentford Lock delivering roast meats, dim sum, and cha chaan teng comforts with warm service; occasional delivery inconsistencies and some bland dishes reported.

The verdict

Old Town 97 delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by excellent roast duck, LSE fried rice, and salted egg specialties, paired with genuinely attentive service that creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. However, inconsistent execution—occasional blandness and portion variance—prevents the restaurant from reaching grade A territory, though it remains competitive with the area's better casual dining establishments. The relaxed riverside setting and generous portions appeal to families and regulars seeking dependable Cantonese comfort rather than culinary distinction.

One caveat: Delivery orders show variable heat and portion size compared with dine-in
