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!

The…read moredecor is reminiscent of what I imagine post-war Shanghai looked like for the upper crust - Art Deco infused with Chinese touches. It's a gorgeous space. 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.

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.

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. All three of us liked the flavors, although we agreed there was a very unique flavor to them. We tried the classic Monga Chicken, and then the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken. 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!

Their flavors for the most part were right, portions are small, and prices are high which contrasts for its norm, since this is street food in Singapore which would cost 3-6$ a plate. Would recommend a more Peranakan decor to make this place feel like Bugis in Singapore. Hainanese chicken rice- good chicken, soup was way too salty that it was nota drinkable at all. Rice was right flavor but wrong texture. Maybe the certain rice can't be found in UK. Seafood Chow fun- I was actually impressed with the chow fun part that charred part and the oily noodles that require high heat and high oil to make it that texture. this dish was good. Would highly recommend it. Chinese leaf- just dressed up Napa cabbage but well done. Salt and pepper shrimp were also not bad The hakkien mee was good but was a little sweeter than what I remembered from Singapore. Overall an ok place- If you've not had Singapore food before this is a good pricy intro to what's ahead.
