Laksa Soup
Anica L.

I swung by for a warm dinner on a rainy night. The people working were very friendly. I got the Laksa Soup. It was quite good- especially the broth and noodles- and had a little spicy kick which I liked. The place is quite casual and there were a handful of other people eating dinner around 19:00.

Food is amazing thank you for directing me here. Was happy to find this and had a great meal and great service. Loved the dim sum choices I made

YN C.

Reasonable price with 2-courses deal, which includes one tasty dim sum and one delicious main dish. The seats are comfortable and the vibe here are relaxing, different from other Chinese restaurants! Love the restaurant!

Refined Chinese with a twist. Andrew Wong new restaurant is a hit!…read more Good atmosphere, really like the pink darkish lighting of the place. It gives it a groovy vibe. Food wise, I wouldn't it is the best Chinese I have ever been to but it's very good food and worth going if you want upscale Chinese without the crazyness of central London/Chinatown. We shared for starters the spicy sechuan aurbergine (a must order), mushroom buns (as nice as the ones from aWong) deep fried green beans (also a must) and the crispy duck ( Im never a fan but aWong and Kym's probably have the best ones and amazing plum sauce) For mains we tried the three treasure (soya chicken, iberico pork char sui and crispy pork). I think my favourite was the crispy pork. Its a good way of tasting all the rotisserie but if you are super hungry I would recommend ordering 2 of the rotisserie separetely. As for desserts, we tried the Pineapple bun and the cherry ice cream both lovely. Awong is definitly the king of custard. although I think the custard bun from aWong just beat everything lolol.

I have traveled London many times and was fortunate to stumble upon Kym's. This was my fortune as…read moreI have a minor addiction to Dim Sum and Kym's savory spin was unexpectedly brilliant. Victoria set the stage and steered me to a sampling that did not disappoint. Egg roll - not your typical egg roll, enshrined in a crispy rice shell, lightly fried to perfection, accompanied by a tangy sweet dipping delight. Followed by the mushroom steamed buns, and capped off by the most spectacular pork and shrimp boa boa, perfectly spicy, fully satisfying, a work of art. The service was spectacular and matched the experience. Make this a stop on your foodie tour of London.

Mr Chan's - Quarter duck; salt and pepper prawns. Yes it isn't gourmet, but it definitely hits the spot!

I think I must have passed this place about 30 times before I even knew it was there - yes, this…read moreplace IS that small. It is an unassuming little Chinese take away place squashed between a men's barber shop and a second hand watch store and until I stopped in front of it by chance, I thought the barber shop and watch shop were direct neighbours! When I walked in I instantly thought of 2 films: 'Big Trouble in Little China' and 'Blade Runner'. Why? Honestly, I couldn't put my finger on it but I think it was because this is a tiny, teeny, place that looks family run and authentic. Not sure what I'm babbling on about here, I'll just get to the food... They have a lunch menu that is just £6, for which you get a starter and a main course with your choice of boiled or egg fried rice or noodles. The food is cooked freshly in front of you, is quite copious and tastes pretty damn good. I can thoroughly recommend the prawn sesame toast as a starter. Oh, important to mention that they have trouble getting more than 3 customers in the place at a time, be ready for a tight fit while you wait. A good take away lunch spot for those not wanting to settle for a sandwich, crisps and a can of pop - let's face it, that will cost you more than £6 at lunch in this part of town!

As a recent transplant from New York, I was quite suprised to find such a good Chinese takeaway,…read moreespecially so close to my apartment! Mr. Chan's offers fresh, well-prepared Chinese with very prompt delivery service and friendly staff plus good prices. Certainly not the best Chinese I've ever had but can absolutely compare to similar Chinese takeaway places in New York City. A great find!

Looking for an inexpensive but delicious meal, I Yelped and found Chop Chop Noodle Bar, which is…read moreacross Euston Road from the King's Cross Underground Station. It's a small storefront, so just look for "left luggage" and it's directly across the street! Unlike many UK restaurants, your order is taken right at the table. A laminated menu with the list of options, including drinks, and a slip of paper to make your indications. All the food is prepared to order and I ws disappointed to not be able to see into the kitchen. However, when it arrived it was yummy! I went with the Singapore Laksa, which is a yellow curry coconut sauce with noodles, shrimp, sliced potatoes and tofu puffs. Absolutely delicious in a massive bowl, it was really warming on a cold day. Really inexpensive, even with a small bottle of Perrier, my meal was £6 (~$10). They also seem to serve the usual Asian stuff too - I saw tables with fried rice and other noodle dishes. Tight seating, but that was okay with me. I would absolutely return!

Good place for a fast bite to eat near King's X station. I want to stress that it's Malaysian…read moreChinese so lots of amazing flavours you won't get at a normal Chinese restaurant. Simple menu and fair prices. Good for a mapo tofu but also for beef and chicken curry, roti canal, and belachan kangkong. They even do a pork and century egg congee. Soup noodles are also a good bet for a cold day. A decent meal can be had for under £10 with a drink if you order a special that comes with rice.

Karaoke Epoc - Don't be scared to wander through the manga! Karaoke is at the back of Adanami Shobo (the bookshop)

Oh my goodness! I can't believe no-one has reviewed the epic Karaoke Epoc yet!!…read more When I was a student, I was never completely convinced that this place existed. I had vague drunken memories of stumbling into a manga shop and finding a mini-Japan style Karaoke box...I must have been here quite a few times with different groups of Japanese friends. However I could never find it again when I was sober. *blushes* Karaoke Epoc is hidden at the back of Adanami Shobo (the Japanese Manga/ book shop on Brewer street.) If you have never been there before, it can be a teeny bit tricky to find...look out for a 'De-lux Cleaning' sign to find the shop. This is one of the least posh karaoke places in London. The decor is a little old/scabby looking...but it is also brilliant! I'll tell you why: - We booked the huuuge room downstairs, and had more than enough room for all 16 of us. There was even enough room for us to dance around the table as well!! - They have teeny 4-6 people rooms upstairs if you have a smaller group. - There was a fridge in the corner, so we brought drinks and kept them cool in there. - The remote control is like a mini computer...you can search by song title or by artist. Ask for help if you can't read Japanese. - There is a decent Japanese/Korean/Chinese selection of songs as well as all the old English favorites. Oooh and a whole page of disney songs!! (^^) - It is really cheap, especially if you go early and have a large group of singing friends. Last night I paid £11 for three hours. I'm not the only on that loves this place!! Make sure you book in advance as it is nearly always booked up.

This is definitely the best karaoke in central London. I loved the simple set out rooms, that they…read morehave a digital book to select songs and also a paper one, the music quality and that the songs had awesome cheesy video instead of just a boring blue background, that you bring your own food and drink, and, bonus, a competitive price. When I come to London I always like doing karaoke with my friends, this now the only place I want to do it at. P.s. If you need to get some booze when you're there, go out of the front door and go left down the street, take the first right and there's a shop just there.
