I googled most of the restaurants in Chinatown and it looked like my high school GPA (not even a 4.0) so this place coming directly from the mouth of my pharmacist. Great broth, meat quality is superb, noodles were okay. Chili oil 8/10. Small bistro style, so prepare to share a table.

It's a tiny spot with just two communal tables inside (seating about six each) and a few outdoor tables. Definitely not the place for a long, lingering dinner -- this is quick, tasty, and casual dining. The noodles are made fresh on-site, and you can actually watch them being pulled, which is really fun to see. I ordered the chicken and peanut noodle soup -- it was flavorful, comforting, and hit the spot. The staff was friendly, though you can tell they like to keep things moving since there's usually a line out the door (and sometimes down the street!). If you're in the area and want something fresh, fast, and different from the usual London fare, this place is absolutely worth a stop.

Born in Hong Kong so I have had lots of dim sum in my life. While it is not traditional dim sum,…read morethe flavors are solid and tasty. My colleague and I ordered one of the set menus to try a little of everything. The steamed and baked dim sum starters were tasty and beautifully arranged. We had the spicy dumplings to follow, then a number of wok stir fry dishes (beef, chicken, etc), and bok choy. Dessert was a carrot cake and fruit mousse, I ate the mousse and it was very good. Service was quick and attentive. We opted to eat at one of the outdoor tables since it was a nice night outside. However, the garbage trucks driving by and picking up garbage in front of us was not that appetizing. It was nice to people watch from our spot though. The drinks menu was really cool but a lot of options. I opted with a spritzer that had some fruity taste. Overall, I enjoyed our meal.

This was a fun experience as it was more of a street food vibe. the chicken was served in pouches with a kabob stick to enjoy it with. It was very hot and fresh out of the fryer.

The Taiwanese almost had somewhat of a cinnamony flavor to it. We would definitely come again on future visits! The service was very quick and staff was nice! Heads up, there isn't any formal seating here, just a bench inside.

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.
