First Chinese Restaurant in London

I thought it would be earlier than this - so see if your research can find anything -

In 1908 Chung Koon, formerly a ship's chef on the Red Funnel Line, opened Maxim's in Soho, which was the first mainstream Chinese restaurant in Britain. The food was Cantonese and the most popular dish was pork in a sweet and sour sauce called “jarjow”.

In 1958, the opening of the Lotus House in Bayswater – a restaurant so popular that customers who couldn't get a table asked for food to take away. Thus “it became the first take-away in Britain”.
