Harden's survey result
Summary
“Sublime, very different, Taiwanese cuisine” delivering “flavourful and stylish” dishes in a “super-cool setting” (evoking a 1930s tea parlour) makes this “tiny but beautiful” three-year-old on the edge of Chinatown many reporters’ “new favourite place for Chinese-style food”. Owned by the people behind Bao, its “subtly flavoured delights” include “brilliant tea-based cocktails” and a “lovely selection of the teas themselves”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
