Street food is an important part of Chinese eating culture and the cuisine available reflects the diversify, regionality and size of the country, the best known and most influential of these are Sichuan, Shandong, Huaiyang and Cantonese cuisines.

Surveys have shown Chinese to be one of UK's top five cuisines. A Mintel poll even puts it in the number one spot, claiming it's more popular in London than anywhere else in the country. 80% of Londoners have visited a Chinese restaurant or takeaway; and sales of soy sauce and green tea are rising.
