    Never had a microwaved falafel before. Still tasted OK, but I just couldn't get over the whole microwave thing.

The chips were thick-cut, properly salted, and tasted like real chip shop fries instead of frozen fast food fries. The place was completely packed, so I ended up eating on the stairs about a block away, honestly felt like part of the experience. One of those spots that doesn't try to reinvent fish and chips. it just does the classic version better than most places. Would easily go back next time I am in London.

(I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!

    I've been to London many times now, but this last time I decided to finally have British fish and…read morechips. I saw a recommendation for Golden Union, and so we made our way over there for lunch towards the latter half of our trip. The place itself is unsuspecting but ended up being actually very cute when we went inside. The neon signs and vintage furniture make it feel cozy. The staff themselves were also very welcoming. We sat down and were handed menus and waters. I decided to split the haddock and chips with my friend while my other friends got their own portion of cod and chips. Everything was pricey, but it is London. The waitress was also very engaging and friendly since she noticed we were tourists and also helped one of my friends with his journey to try British tea for the first time. Overall, she was so sweet. Despite not having crazy high expectations, the haddock and chips was incredible. The fish was soft, and the chips were fresh and not oily at all. It felt very fresh, and I finished my portion feeling very satisfied. My friends let me try their cod, and the cod was also fantastic--very buttery. The haddock is definitely my favorite though. Would come back on my next trip!

The server was nice enough, being willing to change our seating from the high bar tables to a shorter more family-style table which was appreciated. We primarily ordered the cod and chips and one order of fish cakes. The cod and chips were $20. Huge piece of fish, which would have been nine - but I didn't care for the fishy, bland cod at all. Seriously, I couldn't eat more than a fork full. The smell and taste just weren't for me. We also tried the cheesecake and ice cream. Nope, didn't like the cheesecake either... it was warm (I'm used to cold cheesecake) and not very sweet. Yep, another $8 wasted, although I will say that the vanilla ice cream was fine. The server seemed busy, with another server often coming to help us...although the restaurant wasn't really busy. So, if you are visiting from the U.S. - I'd probably recommend you try another spot.

I went in 2 different times: saturday at 3pm and wednesday at 10am. Two completely different vibes. I tried the famous sandwich from the black pig, viral chocolate covered strawberries and bread ahead. Black pig - the best one sandwich: it was AMAZING!!! I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!

Also, I was pleased to read that they had vegan fish! The kid and husband shared some regular fish and chips and I had the vegan variety. I think the kid and husband liked their selection quite all right, but it wasn't anything stupendous. Like, it didn't "beat" any of the fish and chips they previously had in the United States but we didn't expect it to. My vegan fish was a tad creepy, not going to lie, but that's likely because I don't often consume vegan fish. It had a flaky texture, attempting to be reminisce of fish with a slight seafoody flavor. It was served with tartar sauce, which I assumed was not vegan, so I opted for ketchup. The chips were decent short chunky bites of potato. I decided to take my leftovers back to the hotel and as you might expect, they were not very delectable once they were cold, hah. As expected, everything was really fried and greasy, because duh but everything came out quickly and piping hot. Our server was pretty attentive and prompt, which I appreciated. This is sort of between a 3 and a 4 stars for me, but I'm rounding up to a 4 as it's not often that I have the opportunity to consume vegan fish.

Like a crispy greasy sponge of water and oil if I gad to describe it. I doused it with so much vinegar to get it to taste like something it was soggy.

Overall, it was a bit of a let down as I really wanted some memorable Fish N Chips whilst in London.

Anyway we still ate well and had a good time and the bubbles and a good bottle of wine went down very well One off night in all these years isn't going to put us off a return visit

Yelp is not as popular in England, so I took to the internet to find a place which led us to The Windmill. We came to the pub on a weekday evening. When we arrived there were a ton of young adults on the streets drinking and hanging out. Initially, I thought there was a long wait, but I learned it's part of the culture. When we walked inside, we were seated immediately. The restaurant is quaint, cozy, and a fun pub with a rooftop bar as well (reservations recommended for the rooftop). It gets quite loud and lively inside but that's part of the culture. The service by all was greatly appreciated. I have dietary restrictions and they went the extra mile to check in with me. All of the staff who helped us were kind and courteous. She had the Dorset Lamb Shepherd's Pie which she quite enjoyed. I had the Smoked Salmon, King Prawn & Atlantic Haddock Fisherman's Pie. My pie came piping hot. There was a lot of seafood inside--it was rich, creamy, and hearty. I was only able to eat half. He got the Pork and Sage Sausage Roll which was savory and reminded me of an elevated pigs blanket. For dessert, we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was so good! So moist, sweet, warm and delicious. We were all pleasantly surprised with our meals as everything was delicious. I recommend The Windmill for a classic and fun pub meal in SoHo. It's easy to find off the side street on Mill Street. We enjoyed our first taste of British food here!
