Saw this restaurant on instagram and came to try it out. The interior is really nice! Tables are not closely put together and didn't feel overly crowded. There's a private section at the back which looks really good for any private events. There are also karaoke rooms downstairs which looks really fun. The food itself was really flavoursome, I particularly enjoyed the crispy tofu and calamari and the fresh bok choi. The small bowl of steamed egg, felt was a bit overpriced for 10 (although they sprinkled a bit of caviar to it).

Neighbourhood Chinese, simply amazing. Great atmosphere, lovely service, super cool, open kitchen. Menu has a wide variety and the chef’s recommendations are some mouthwatering prospects. Good value for money and an all round great lunch experience!

A new menu launches tonight and it was superb. The food was just amazing, service was great and some banging tunes being played between the more relaxed vibe music. Defo worth a visit if you haven't been yet.

The food was really good. I’d recommend the Braised Chicken Casserole, Crispy Chicken and the small plate of Ribs. Oh, also the Lao Gan Ma Prawn Rice (that was a favourite for everyone!). The prawn vermicelli wasn’t very flavourful but I did like the vermicelli noodles. The staff are nice and surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be any rush with how long you could stay (though it wasn’t completely busy). The wait times for food and drinks wasn’t long either. The only downside I’d say is the menu size but I understand having a smaller selection given that it’s not a huge place. The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing and the music was nice too, with some covers of songs for a softer ambience. Overall, I’d definitely like to visit again to try some other foods!

We went on a Friday night, great atmosphere. Beautiful decor, staff very friendly and accommodating. Every single dish we ordered was so delicious, the cheese dumpling was phenomenal. I would also recommend ordering pork belly, so delicious. The cocktails are amazing. We also booked karaoke downstairs and it was the most amazing experience to finish our night off. Thank you to the chef and staff for an amazing night.

Our experience here was very pleasant. For the time of day we went, late afternoon, the restaurant was practically empty, so our service was fast and engaging, and the food was on our table in no time. Delicious meals, good sized portions, and not at all expensive. The facilities were also very clean. I'd love to come back when it’s busy, to get a deal for the vibe then.

I was really excited to see a clay pot place in London, so called in for dinner. Lovely bustling environment with an open kitchen. Great drinks selection. Opted for the prawns in garlic sauce and the duck. They really didn’t disappoint. Already salivating writing this in anticipation of the next visit.

We had a great experience dining here, friendly staff and food was served promptly. Highly highly recommend the Garlic prawns on vermicelli glass noodles clay pot dish!! This was declined and would come back for this alone! They also have an extensive bar with Guinness on draft as well as other beers. Worth for trip for sure
