I found that the restaurant runs expensive and didn't live up to my expectations fully as the dishes were inconsistent and I found service to be chaotic -- particularly, when the staff spilled the cucumber dressing and almost spilled onto me and my friend. Pork Belly Bao - Classic comfort pork bun that has all the right textures from the soft pillowy bun to the melt in your mouth pork belly to the crisp pickles to the crunchy crumble of peanut. Marinated Cucumbers - Intriguing season of cucumber that offers a flavorfully spiced palette. However, I found some of the dish to be bitter as if the chili crunch was burned when made. Wagyu Ikura Rice Bowl - Their special rice bowl that has roasted beef topped with ikura. I particularly like the horseradish mayo it came with to give the beef a creamy balance with the rice. However, I found the beef to be unevenly cooked w.r.t. the bowl and the ikura to be disproportionate to the beef.

They offer the usual line up of different types of bubble tea but I like their fruity slushes, which are very refreshing on a hot day £3.25 for a regular. £3.75 for a large and 50p for toppings

Originally,…read moreI was queuing at Chatime but the queue was so horrendous I thought about walking to Longji, my second choice. Then I was hit by a sudden realisation that I haven't tried Up T yet and have been meaning to try it. The shop was empty at 1.45pm....I went in, there was a single lady there and I ordered I believe a Mango milk tea. She went to prepare etc. I asked her how business was, as I have never seen anyone order anything there, let alone a queue, she asked if I was a spy!!! Erm, ok nevermind, I dispelled her of that notion, saying I just wanted a chat and that I have never seen anyone here. She says they do regular clientele business/tourists usually. I wonder who is her regular clientele? Anyway the moment of truth...I tried the Mango (milk?) tea at the office, it tasted like a bigger version of a Yakult, this is really wrong. Mango should not taste like this!! The pearls are not "springy" and do not have any taste (I like them with some sugar in the pearls) and so this drink was a disaster. Sorry Up T, I really don't think I will come back anytime soon. It's not like this place is any cheaper than the others. Next time Chatime has a big queue, I might just pop over to the Soho branch or even just go to Mooboo, or even Longji.

The service is also top notch so take advantage of their wine knowledge. Their cocktails are pretty good as well. The food is more hit or miss. The steamed egg custard reminded me of what my mother would make for dinner but with a more elegant take. The cuttlefish toast was fun and I liked the use of black ink and the side of roe. The seasonal greens were also perfectly cooked. I felt our other dishes didn't quite meet the mark. The chilled clams had too much granita on them and lacked the saltiness expected from the shellfish. The XO scallops had too much tartness which oddly overwhelmed the XO sauce. The mushroom rice was a disappointment. The salted duck egg had zero flavour and the whole dish just fell flat. So while we had a good visit, I would come more for atmosphere than food. The food wasn't consistent and given the hype, a bit of a disappointment.

However, Bian Dang's gua bao should definitely be on your shortlist when you're visiting Camden Town! I had two small Taiwanese steamed buns for seven pounds, one with pork belly and one with chicken. The size was just about right so afterwards you can still try something else from a different market stall, which for me is a big plus. Especially, since both buns were very, very good. The chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside and a great experience. But the one with pork belly... it was divine. The different flavours and textures with the pickles and powdered peanut was just perfect. And for that I can only give 5 stars!
