Harden's survey result
Summary
Foo Trong and his family “always meet expectations” at the “traditional high street Chinese” – always one of the more commented-on restaurants in these parts. They have established the place as a local institution over 26 years, serving “delicious, generous and thoughtfully spiced food” using “high quality of ingredients” in a “warm and relaxing ambience”.
Summary
This “very popular” Chinese has built a loyal local following over 25 years for its “great food” and “brilliant staff” – most of them from founder Foo Trong’s family, including his wife Michala, brother and head chef Viet Hoa, sister Lucy and parents – all of whom “really care”. “Trongs never disappoints – nothing is too much trouble. We’ve been going for 15 years and just ask them to bring us what they think is good!”
Summary
“Still our favourite!” – this beloved Chinese operation remains “just fabulous all round”, delivering “exquisite and authentic Asian flavours, paired with great service and years of knowledge” from the Vietnamese owners; “they hardly need reviews as word of mouth seems to always keep them busy, but here is one!”
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).
