Yi-ban, Chinese restaurant in West Beckton, London.
Yi-ban is a Chinese restaurant located at the London Regatta Centre along the waterfront in West Beckton, with dining room windows that overlook the Royal Docks. The establishment features a waterside setting and a kitchen that prepares traditional Chinese cuisine.

The restaurant serves traditional Chinese dishes in a welcoming setting where diners can experience authentic cuisine. Over time, it has become a familiar gathering place for people seeking this type of food in the area.
The restaurant is accessible from the waterfront and located near the London Regatta Centre jetty area. Visitors should be aware that the riverside pathways can become slippery in wet weather, so appropriate footwear is recommended.
