Our first time here, and they've only been open 10 months. We felt the pricing was reasonable, portion sizes were about right.... Not overflowing large, and not undersized either. (it's "just right"). We ordered three dishes with one to take away ( seafood noodle soup )... Then for dine in we had duck noodle soup and Singapore noodles with good sized shrimp.
The flavoring was spot on, not too greasy or suffering from excess of oil or seasoning... Perfectly cooked noodles... And a nice cut of duck leg with good meat volume. The Singapore noodles were textbook perfect. Clearly.... Skillfully prepared. Just look at the gorgeous pictures in their menus!
Service was reasonable, attentive staff who were smiling and polite. A Bit of a surprise because so many Chinese places Excel with food while suffering from somewhat indifferent service. Nice bathrooms with pretty silk orchids decorating. It's not a greasy spoon that's run down or poorly managed. Clean tables & utensils.... How pleasant! Yeah... Other places miss the mark!!! Lol!
We are only in London for roughly 5 days, but I think we'll try and swing by here again sometime. Just before we left the chef actually came out to chat with us. Yes... he was evidently curious how his business was impacting his customers!!!! What a nice family restaurant here!!! The chef shared how he had been working 20 years for a chain before opening his first restaurant in Florida ... 6 years there before deciding to relo to London!!! He talked about how all orders are spun up fresh ... and I'd say it's clear to us how expertly our dishes were prepared (( perfect )).
We are visiting from Los Angeles where there are very large Chinese communities. My family had a large furniture business in LA Chinatown over 25 years! We've traveled through China & British HK many times, Asia and other parts far n wide all over the Earth. Often trying Chinese restaurants all over... Witnessing how many places alter their flavors or ingredients to be less authentic. That's definitely not the case here with the flavors and cooking the results textbook perfect!
Silly to say.... But it's closer to perfect in balance and flavors than off the mark... So... We are putting a relatively rare 5 star credit here. That's bumped up because it's so very rare for the chef and owner to come out to talk to guests in evaluating how they're delivering... The CARE and professional interest here is pursuing business excellence!!!! Some might think us generous with 5 stars... Nope. It's like a fine tuned engine hitting all cylinders efficiently. Oh... N please consider I've posted 530+ reviews with thousands of pictures, countless tips... And yeah... I don't give away 5 stars easily. ((Silent Grinning)) read more
