Harden's survey result
Summary
One of North London’s more consistent and interesting culinary success stories: Hendon’s kosher Chinese restaurant “continues to operate at a very high standard”, with “tasty and authentic cooking” and “a great ambience”. It takes its name from a Chinese city with an ancient Jewish community.
Summary
This “consistently high-quality kosher Chinese” in Hendon has established a strong reputation across north London over more than 20 years. It is named after a Chinese city with a Jewish population dating back 1,000 years or more.
Summary
Named after a Chinese city with an ancient Jewish enclave, this smart kosher restaurant in Hendon serves “really excellent Chinese food – every course, without exception”. But, while there is general agreement on the “high culinary standards” (including “excellent crispy duck”), it’s also felt that being kosher makes it “more expensive than it should be”.
Summary
The divide in opinions on this smart, kosher-Chinese stalwart in Hendon has been unvarying since the year dot – to fans it’s “the best Chinese food ever eaten” but to critics the most “overpriced”.
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.
