Excellent Northeast/Sichuan Chinese restaurant . 地三鲜 (stewed potato , green pepper and aubergine ) and 锅包肉 (dry fried sweet and sour pork ) are great authentic choices.
The food here is really traditional, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your taste! The beans with minced pork are fantastic and the lamb skewers are very good.
Flavour is very good. Expect bones in fish . BBQ selection is great! Best if you try them all in one go and add dumplings and then main dishes as well .
The best Chinese food I've eaten so far in London. Queue might be long at certain hours, so if you're going with a big group, make reservations . They do take card now.
Fish fragrant eggplant was just perfect! The spicy pork trotters were amazing. It may look full, but go in anyway, they have lots of seating downstairs
Pig 's ears (chewy but worth it). Amazing pig 's kidney. Delicious pig 's intestines. Quick. Big portions . Spicy . Very.
Excellent Szechuan food , skewers and fu qi fay pian are authentic . Dan Dan mien was somewhat disappointing in contrast. Don't expect western courtesy, that's how you know it's authentic .
One of the best Chinese in town ! Recommend: beef stew with potatoes ????, lamb skewers , dumplings - all excellent! Yushiang pork was average.
Pretty good chinese food and probably best in the area - The spicy fish was alright but everything else was great!
This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in the whole country . By far. Green beans . Aubergine . Lamb skewers . Even the sweet and sour pork is amazing.
Loooove this place. Lots of chilli & garlic . The pork green beans & rice noodle salad are my faves. Really cheap too. Yum!
锅包肉 Guō bāo ròu is the best.
Massive servings of Szechuan peppered food - delicious and so so cheap . Basic atmosphere, and curt staff , but the awesome food makes up for it.
Best dish = fish fragrant aubergines (鱼香茄子). The fish reference is re the combination of spices, there is actually no fish in the dish. Highly recommended!
Good value for money Szechuan dishes in big portion . However expect slow service during weekends and little ambience. Typical no frill cheap and cheerful Chinese restaurant
Very authentic : mouthwatering dishes, blunt staff .
Absolutely delicious! Think one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. Very basic and brusque service but food is divine!
Genuine no-nonsense Chinese food . There can be some waiting time to get a table.
Had lunch here with my colleagues for birthday. The food was great and very authentic .
Nothing was tasty. Hot and sour was like snot with mix of some soft shit. Dish "seafood tofu"-lots of tofu with 2 small prawns and tiny squids - r u kidding me?!Service was a spit in your face.
Nice to have a Chinese place in the City but...TOO MUCH MSG! Not sure why they put so much, really not necessary as the food is highly spicy and flavoured already
Maybe my favorite Chinese restaurant anywhere (outside of Asia). The bbq lamb skewers are wonderful
1: dumplings 2: green beans 3: lamb skewers
Cheap and cheerful authentic Chinese food
Green beans with minced pork and the soft shelled crab are pretty darn good. Be sure to share!
Go for the lamb skewers ..super tasty and only £1.20 each
No service offered... But the food are really truly tasty and delicious and price looks very nice!
lovely north east dish!!!! Quite a lot in each dish
Try the cold sesame noodles , delicious ????
Handmade dumplings ! Dan Dan mien is good too.
Good Chinese food . Can be very noisy , in fact, sometimes, the noise level physically hurts.
It's all about the meat skewers and cold dishes
The spicy cucumbers cold plate is really good.
The potato , pepper and aubergine is incredible, and that's from a meat eater!
Great buzz here, no nonsense chinese.
Loved this place, full of flavour and satisfaction
Large dishes. Spicy !
Treat this like a trad. restaurant in China. The assumption will be that you'll be sharing your dishes amongst your group and so they are brought out as they are ready, not in any 'course' order
The Spicy Oil with Chicken Gizzard is to die for!
The great food makes up to the lousy service! They offer good portions for the price too!
Braised Pig feet is really worth it!!
Love this place, despite the fact that the service is crap.
Great Chinese food
Big portions
Get the lamb skewers
Try the chicken with Szechuan peppers - they numb your mouth. It's like a trip to the dentist .
Excellent food with a lot of offering of offals and innards dishes!
Excellent Chinese food
BBQ lamb skewers are a must!
Everything looked pretty good I was getting food envy!
Great value- highly recommended: spicy fried shrimp, chili green beans with mince pork, dumplings, chili fried spare ribs :) - NoMade InMongolia
Nice prawn dumplings & you can't really go wrong with the crispy duck. Good service! - Shyamashree Das
Good beers and a nice little pub, especially considering the area - Matthew Griffiths
Proper old non-fancy pub. Lovely service. Gorgeous sweet potato fries! - Tina Lauesen-Day
Favourite Sunday hangout. Lots of quirky stalls and nice restaurants. The book stall is amazing and cheap. - Michaela Watkinson
