This two-year-old café on the edge of Chinatown won high praise this year as a “fantastic choice for modern Hong Kong-style cuisine”, served in a “contemporary designer interior”. There’s a huge selection of dishes on the menu, and service is “very efficient”. Top Menu Tip – “fabulous crispy pork with rice (better than a lot of local competition)”.

“A top choice for a Hong-Kong-style café menu” – this “rushed” tearoom on the edge of Chinatown opened in 2022 and serves everything from light bites to full meals from its huge selection of dishes. The food is consistently well rated.

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).
