Food is still pretty good and good price. No American credit cards accepted anymore though.

We ordered the xiao long bao(soup dumplings), congee, meatballs… Typical things. All above average. Very filling. And this thing which I’ve never seen before in Chinese cuisine so couldn’t resist ordering… Kind of like the insides of a chicken pot pie… inside a perfectly golden fried(but not that tasty) box made of dough or bread… :-P I liked the inside décor… They made an effort and I’m not sure if that was what they’re going for, but had some cross between Asian and medieval Europe-type feel to it. The bill came out to a bit more than I would have expected or hoped though, so it felt a little overvalued to me.

We ordered the chicken fried rice with pine kernels, soup filled buns, crispy glutinous oyster pancake, and the pea shoots with minced garlic. Beverage I ordered was soybean milk. All were fantastic, and service was a snap. I’ve been to about 5 or 6 Chinese restaurants in London, and this was the best yet(maybe because it was Taiwanese?)

We didn’t mean to come here but it was the only place still serving food at 11:45pm that wasn’t kebabs in Queensway or Westbourne Grove. I liked the decoration although the toilets weren’t in a very good condition for a recently opened restaurant. The food, noodles with shredded pork, soya bean sprouts and a sauce I have forgotten and deep fried chicken with ginger was fine, but the noodles were too spicy for my taste and the chicken had too much ginger(I liked it though, but my friend didn’t). The best was the lychee juice I had, I wonder where they get it… It’s very cheap and drinks are also cheaper than average, but if you’re looking for a place to eat Chinese/Taiwanese food at normal hours, there are much better choices in Queensway.

London seems to have been crying out for Taiwanese food judging from the rapid expansion of this chain. The first 2 restaurants of this chain opened in Soho only fairly recently but their menu of Taiwanese dim sum, small plates and main dishes seems to have caught the imagination of diners, who have been fed on a diet of Cantonese food for decades. The name of the restaurant refers to a famous Chinese story about a group of heroes who held out an invading army. The décor is what you would expect from a restaurant from that era as depicted in Hong Kong kung fu movies. I would recommend the soya bean milk as a drink. The house speciality is xiao lung bao — pork parcels and soup wrapped in pastry and steamed. The filling and soup is tasty but the skin is a bit thick. I’ve tried a variety of their soup noodles. There are also some dishes I recognise from home — braised belly pork, steamed pork with egg. I’m curious about dishes on the menu involving pig’s ears and various bits of offal but haven’t had the chance to try them yet. Give it a go to broaden your experience of Chinese food
