This time, instead of an a la carte menu they do rodizio (unlimited buffet + unlimited meat cuts). It's the second restaurant of this kind I've been to and it's quite nice. The meat cuts are tender, there are plenty of options (salads, cheese, breads, chips, vegetables, ...) in the free buffet and quite a few desserts, too. It's impossible to go away hungry, hehe. Staff were very attentive and kind, and the local itself is small but cosy. The only minus for me is that being on the basement level, there's virtually no phone signal (so no sharing photos of your dishes right there on the spot!). I suppose in a way it's a plus, so you get to socialize more with your peers, but if you're a lone eater like me who likes to have something to read while eating, best remember to take a book (or download one before hand!).

I was hoping we would be able to have a more relaxing dinner but it was very EAT EAT EAT! There was a lot of choices of meat and there is a help yourself salad bar with a few good options but we tried to save room for the meat. I would say definitely make a reservation just to make sure if your party is larger than 4. They have enough room to accommodate large parties. All the food came out hot. If you're starving, come.

And if I could give -5 stars for their services, I totally would. You are basically on your own without any service for a very long time, even after waving for multiple times. And they came with missing orders that you have to keep chasing, almost like DIY to do it yourself if you can walk into the kitchen. Nonetheless, me and my friend's stomachs weren't doing good at all after eating there and it lasted for a few days. Not to the point that we needed to see a doctor but you got what I mean. I am not sure what it was but no way in hell I would go back again! They provide free cheap drinks if you write them an amazing reviews on google and such. That's where you see good reviews about them.

I ordered the sirloin steak with Japanese dipping g sauce (sweet soy in nature). I ordered a side of egg fried rice. My wife ordered the chicken fried rice as her main. We started with an order of gyoza for an app. My steak and rice were perfectly cooked and very flavorful. My wife raved about her dish. A really great experience that I highly recommend.

You can tell a lot about a place based on its soup…read more I can't say much about anything other than the soup here, but the pork and shrimp wonton is delicious. I could easily eat a small bowl of this 2-3 times a week. The reason I'm reviewing a soup if because I'm in London for a work trip and one of my students developed pneumonia while we were here. THIS SOUP was the only thing the student could or would keep down for two full days. I finally decided to try it myself, and I can see why: delicate wontons that are perfectly thin, giving way to a succulent bundle of pork and shrimp. The simple green onion garnish on the broth is a perfect herbaceous touch. I've gotten this dish about 3 days in a row, and I'm not ashamed to say tomorrow will likely be Day Four: Judge me. I don't care.

We visited London last fall and this was not on the planned meals list at all lol…read moreWe stayed near here and walked by multiple times a day to get to the tube station and it was always busy, sometimes with a line of Asian ppl out the door. At first I joked that if this were Singapore we'd be lining up by now just bc of the ppl outside and the same must hold true in London. But once I looked at the pictures of the lobster noodles I actually did want to eat here. This is not on any list in particular in eater or whatever. It looks like some random "jiudian" you can find in any street in China tbh but it turned out to be one of my top meals on this vacation of great meals. Glad we snuck it in on our last afternoon in London. The lobster noodles - not to be missed. Everyone at every table ate one. A businessman with a suitcase literally ordered as he walked to his table next to ours, inhaled a huge plate within minutes and left before we even got ours lol... Clearly this dish makes this a destination eatery for many. Iirc you can order a lobster any number of ways and it's just recommended to be served with noodles. I forgot what we chose but it was what we confirmed with the server was the way to go. Another thing that many Asian tables had was ginger scallion chicken. One of my favorite things is a good poached chicken dish, whether cantonese or hainanese. Theirs was an excellent version. One of my favorites. Very chickeny chicken, well balanced with scallion and ginger flavor, perfectly seasoned. No sauce served and no sauce needed. They had to look at my husband and confirm that it's bone in multiple times lol - I imagine this has been an issue for them before. They also have boneless chickens fwiw. Its been a while but we did order a couple apps that are less memorable by now. The whole menu looked great. If you had a bigger group you could try a whole bunch more on top of the lobster noodles, which I wholeheartedly think are worth a stop as a tourist esp if you are already going to be in the area for something else.

I'm from the San Francisco area and lived in LA for 10 years (as well as have been to China) so I LOVE Chinese food. Unfortunately this place was very mediocre. The best part was the sauce that came with the wontons and the seasoning on the tofu. However, the tofu wasn't crispy at all. And the wontons/dumplings were very lackluster. The filling wasn't very flavorful. Though I will say the skin was nice and thin which is always a good sign. Would I go here again at 3 am after being out all night? Yes. Would I go here when there are other options open? No.

Our server forgot numerous things we asked for then charged me for adding a protein to my food when I didn't have any topping, let alone the most expensive one!
