Harden's survey result
Summary
Bringing a “welcome dash of glamour to Shepherd’s Bush Green”, the recently arrived Hoxton Hotel has a stylish and spacious diner featuring the cooking of LA chef Kris Yenbaroong, whose “Californian-Thai food is perfectly enjoyable (if no more than that)”. Service is personable, and it’s a fun place to linger for an “excellent post-meal G&T” in their rather swish bar/lounge.
Summary
“Part of the ongoing gentrification of Shepherd’s Bush” – LA chef Kris Yenbamroong has found a permanent showcase for his US-style ‘nu Thai’ cuisine at the new Hoxton Hotel overlooking Shepherd’s Bush Green. It’s “surprisingly fun”… “lively, tasty, and fairly priced”. The food is brash and impactful (“I had a delish bowl of fries, deep-fried chicken wings with hot sauce and tuna melt sandwich with a refreshing lychee lemonade”), while “large rounds of beer heading to most tables often contributes to the merriment”. A few reporters do have quibbles – that the “sharing plate concept doesn’t really work gastronomically”; or that the “LA influence is too horribly sweet, missing out on the salty and sour components of good Thai cooking”. But even some critics feel it’s “finding its feet: I’ve been back four times since December and the menu improves each visit”.
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).
