First meal in London on Christmas evening. Was searching high and low for a place open late. Went…read moreto one restaurant across town and found out they only had an expensive tasting menu with not many items, so left the place in hunt for something else. So kept checking Yelp and OpenTable and found this restaurant with a Christmas menu that wouldn't bankrupt us. Made an online reservation on OpenTable and took Uber which got us there on time. The food was more than excellent and had multiple parties in the mouth with how much flavor was contained in each and every dish. England takes their national dish of Indian food to the next level. The server asked if we wanted extras of anything else? We were so full we couldn't take a single bite more. Fantastic service, food, and ambiance. Would love to go back and order a la carte next time.

It's situation in an alley near Lambs Conduit Street and is nestled among other Asian restaurants. I got there at 11:30am right after they'd opened for the day and I seemed to have timed it right: to lunch rush set in after I was done eating. If you're looking for a quick, tasty and reasonably-priced lunch, then this is your place!

There was…read moresome miscommunication about what we had ordered, but they let us have the wrong food item (which ended up being one of my favorites!) at no charge. They do not shy away from the spicy heat, and I love it! The beef appetizer was too spicy for my (teen) daughter, but she loved the plain dosa so much that she ordered a second one. The broccoli appetizer was almost too spicy for me, but it was SO good! The chicken kari was actually not spicy, but incredibly flavorful. And the chili cheese dosa was perfection. I loved everything I tasted. The restaurant is tiny and a bit cramped. You'll be right up close against the people next to you, but you'll be so into the food that you won't mind at all!

It was great to find a dependable and reasonably priced restaurant nearby. Gary loved the bao bums with barbecue beef.

Will go back next time we are in London!

We told them we had a shrimp allergy and he went above and beyond to provide a book, go over some items in the menu and ask multiple times if I would be ok with x or y.

Both my friends had FINISHED their meal but I had even gotten mine and somehow it still came out cold? The only good thing was their drinks. I wouldn't come again for the food.

Both were extremely salty and when I asked the manager to replace it, it was just returned with some hot water added and the server just dumped it on the table without any apology. Whilst waiting for the replacement, rice got cold, so I asked the server to change the rice, but she didn't seem to understand English well. So we needed to call the manager. It took them a while to replace it, and again it was just left on the table without a word. My friend refused to pay the service charge, and the manager got abrupt but brought us a new bill which was higher than the original. He went away and returned with another wrong bill twice more. We seriously miss the previous Taste of Siam with great food and services. We will not go back.

There is a lot of choice, lots of curries, even the rice, you can have sticky, coconut or steamed jasmine rice, so cater to all your favourites. It is always packed and busy. They have expanded into three restaurants all next door to each other. One concentrates mainly on hot pots, one with wooden tables and more casual dining, and the other original one with table cloths, and next to it they have their own supermarket where you can buy presumably all that you have eaten in the restaurants too. My favourite dish has got to be the Lamb Massaman Curry, tender lamb and potatoes with coconut milk in a massman sauce. Just the name makes my mouth water, so yummy. The lamb is so tender and the potatoes lovely and soft, added to the curry sauce you have heaven in your mouth. If you get a chance, the hot pot dining is also very good and very reasonable. A great gem at the Mornington Crescent end of Camden High Street.

On my first full day in London, in December 2013, my goal was to get to M&M's World. I was on a mission to visit every M&M's World in, um, the world. I had London first, followed by Shanghai at the time. A female staffer at the Piccadilly Circus underground station was great directing me to get to M&M's World by foot. Along the way, a Russian man approached me and asked this question: "Chinatown?" I'm a tourist. I barely know how to get to M&M's World. I didn't know. Well, after having my first visit to this beloved store, I walked around Soho. I saw lanterns above me. I was in Chinatown. I could now answer Russian guy's question! I spotted this eatery. I took a chance on Jade Garden, as I was hungry. I walked in. A friendly woman greeted me. It was me wanting a late lunch. She immediately seated me at a table. She asked me if I had a tea preference. I asked if she had jasmine tea. She did. I got a pot of it. It was so fragrant and perfect for a December afternoon. I got a pink piece of paper with dim sum items and more, and a pen. I love dim sum and went to town ordering a few dishes. I got these items: - Har gow (4) - Siu mai (3) - Barbeque pork rice rolls (3) - Sticky rice bundles (2) - Steamed pork dumplings (3) It didn't take long for my dishes to arrive. I tried a har gow first. My first thought was how yummy it was. It had a lot of shrimp in each one. I then had a siu mai. So good! It had a ton of filling. I remember alternating eating from these two steamers and how happy I was to be eating authentic dim sum. The barbeque pork rice rolls were excellent. This place was generous with the barbeque pork that you got in each rice roll. It had the best sauce that I poured on top of each roll. I loved the sticky rice bundles. Sticky rice screams comfort food when it's steamed in leaves and I unwrap them. The rice was steamed perfectly. Each bundle had a generous amount of filling. This place does barbeque pork so well and it was highlighted in these sticky rice bundles. The steamed pork dumplings were amazing. Each one was stuffed with pork, chives, peanuts, and more. The wrapper on each dumpling was perfect. I'm salivating. I remember being here like it was last week! I paid with a credit card. I tipped. Done! I used the women's washroom before I left. It was clean. The door was short, so I could see everything in front of me when I stood up in the stall that I was using... haha! I was sad to learn that this location has closed permanently. However, there are other Jade Garden locations in the city. I hope to visit one of them whenever I return to London. (13)

The wantons in the wanton soup were alright, but the soup they came in tasted like a conflicted depressed chicken broth with mirepoix doused hastily with soy sauce to make it "Asian". And finally, the fried rice with shredded duck. The duck was alright, but the "fried rice" looked like boiled long grain rice with soy sauce stirred into it with no evidence of it being fried with significant heat let alone "wok hei" char. Deplorable. Then add the price tag and you have an epic fail.
