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.

Yasmin Yazdani

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.

Thomas Harvester

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.

Morgan Roderick

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

Sara Bianchi

Pig 's ears (chewy but worth it). Amazing pig 's kidney. Delicious pig 's intestines. Quick. Big portions . Spicy . Very.

Marcia Lee

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.

Angela Liu

Pretty good chinese food and probably best in the area - The spicy fish was alright but everything else was great!

Jay Dee

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.

hello_emily

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.

Emily Quintin

Massive servings of Szechuan peppered food - delicious and so so cheap . Basic atmosphere, and curt staff , but the awesome food makes up for it.

Susanna Chen

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!

Giggle Giggly

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

María

Very authentic : mouthwatering dishes, blunt staff .

Emma P

Absolutely delicious! Think one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. Very basic and brusque service but food is divine!

Johan Örneblad

Genuine no-nonsense Chinese food . There can be some waiting time to get a table.

W Tsang

Had lunch here with my colleagues for birthday. The food was great and very authentic .

Annet Vox

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

Caroline

Maybe my favorite Chinese restaurant anywhere (outside of Asia). The bbq lamb skewers are wonderful

Phil Wain

1: dumplings 2: green beans 3: lamb skewers

Sophia Parker

Try the cold sesame noodles , delicious ????

Serena Lo

Handmade dumplings ! Dan Dan mien is good too.

Little Ms Random

Good Chinese food . Can be very noisy , in fact, sometimes, the noise level physically hurts.

Nash Nani

It's all about the meat skewers and cold dishes

T

The spicy cucumbers cold plate is really good.

Michael Porthouse

The potato , pepper and aubergine is incredible, and that's from a meat eater!

Allan Sheriff

Great buzz here, no nonsense chinese.

Alex C

Loved this place, full of flavour and satisfaction

Sam Pilkington

Large dishes. Spicy !

Dapprman

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

Michael Porthouse

The Spicy Oil with Chicken Gizzard is to die for!

Henrique Fazzio

The great food makes up to the lousy service! They offer good portions for the price too!

atena liu

Braised Pig feet is really worth it!!

Kate P

Love this place, despite the fact that the service is crap.

Alan Joyce

Try the chicken with Szechuan peppers - they numb your mouth. It's like a trip to the dentist .
