Customer Reviews
Nice little restaurant. Good variety of dishes, but other than the chili oil, our noodle dishes were lacking in flavor, very simple. Not a fan of the pig's ears, but mostly a personal distaste for the texture. Great service, quickly served. Drinks/teas were a bit overpriced, but they are happy to serve only tap water.
Saw this on the Noodles episode of Chef's Table and never knew what a great place this is, having gone by dozens of times before. Short walk from the tube station. Humble and cosy premises. We had the smashed cucumber salad, black mushrooms, pig ear, pig bun, salt and pepper spare ribs, noodles with chunky beef, ginger chicken, cold noodle salad, pork dumplings and sweet and sour pork. All of it was excellent. Amazing food, filling but not heavy. Beautifully nourishing. We will be back.
Recommended by 70 year old mate, Taiwanese chum in his 30s and daughter/(+boyfriend) in her 20s. V spicy. Different from most Chinese. Full of Chinese students on weekdays and locals at w/end
Small “street food” eatery in front of the Arsenal stadium. Just follow where the two guns are pointing! Delicious and authentic spicy Chinese food. Fast service and fast turnover of tables. (40 covers?) I had to wait in the queue on weeknight at 7.30 for about 15 minutes. The cold chicken in chilli oil starter was try to its Chinese name: “mouth watering chicken”. The famous biang biang noodles are messy to eat (one long sheet!) but worth the mess. (Bring a bin.). Plus pot of tea made the bill £28.
