    Stewed pork with rice
    Joe K.

    There are so many restaurants in Chinatown and most of them are overpriced and seem to cater to the tourists. We were looking for a place that served authentic food that wouldn't break the bank. We walked around Chinatown twice before we decided on going to this gem. We were happy to have some authentic Taiwanese food. We ordered green onion pancakes, dumplings, stewed pork over rice, and Taiwanese sausage. The food was great. The dumplings were perfectly steamed, Taiwanese sausage was super tasty, and the stewed pork over rice was delicious. I wish there was more. My only slight complaint was the green onion pancakes were slightly undercooked and mushy. Otherwise, aside from this minor gripe, everything was uber delicious. I would definitely come back, You can't go wrong if you come here for a meal. The prices are reasonable and the food was authentic. Yummy!

    The food is acceptable. Nothing spectacular. I guess I would have given them 4 stars if it wasn't for the ridiculously long wait between the first three dishes and the last three dishes. Overall I find them acceptable. About £20 per person if you wana be full. Food either lack flavour or too salty. Unfortunately nothing in between tho, at least for my experience.

    Shumai, cheungfun, congee, xiaolongbao, dumplings

    I only got a dim sum selection here, so while I can't speak to the meal options, the dim sum was very tasty. I came on the bank holiday weekend with my boyfriend and surprisingly, this place allowed walk-ins at around 12:30/1. The xiaolongbao was my favorite by far. The shumai and crystal shrimp dumpling were also delicious. The cheungfun and chicken stick rice were a bit meh though. As with all restaurants that offer a wide menu, they excel at some items while others were subpar. On average, we were quite content with our meal. Would definitely recommend checking out the XLB!

    Before we came here we were told their food is not decent Taiwanese food. And I think how bad can it be. And here we were and yes food here can be a bit disappointing. To be fair the dumpling and fried noddles were ok. But not for the sesame oil chicken or the ginger duck. Maybe 50% like the authentic Taiwanese food and we see them a lot room to improve.

    Spring onion pancake, pork belly with rice, pork xiaolongbao
    Jeni A.

    Great prices for authentic Taiwanese food! Like the other reviews, I agree the dishes are hit or miss. The xiaolongbao were good and what you'd expect. The spring onion pancake was exceptional and very fresh and my friend said the pork belly with rice was very tender and delicious. The disappointment was the pan fried tofu with prawn (not pictured). I'm convinced it was frozen as the tofu used wasn't very soft and there was a pocket of gelatinous starch in the filling. Overall, I'd still return for a diverse menu of authentic food with good prices.

    Hotpot far exceeded our expectations, as someone who was born and raised in Hong Kong the hotpot was excellent even by my standards.

    The recent Talk thread posted by Erin H brought up the topic of recent food trends in London and…read morebubble tea places were mentioned There has been a noticeable spate of recent openings, which have trended towards the Hong Kong style of outlet rather than the Americanised version as exemplified by Bubbleology Up...T is another new bubble tea place which has just opened and they currently have a 30% discount. They are located on the edge of Chinatown on Little Newport Street. They offer the usual line up of different types of bubble tea but I like their fruity slushes, which are very refreshing on a hot day £3.25 for a regular. £3.75 for a large and 50p for toppings

    So my office is in China Town, I have a multitude of bubble tea places to choose from. Originally,…read moreI was queuing at Chatime but the queue was so horrendous I thought about walking to Longji, my second choice. Then I was hit by a sudden realisation that I haven't tried Up T yet and have been meaning to try it. The shop was empty at 1.45pm....I went in, there was a single lady there and I ordered I believe a Mango milk tea. She went to prepare etc. I asked her how business was, as I have never seen anyone order anything there, let alone a queue, she asked if I was a spy!!! Erm, ok nevermind, I dispelled her of that notion, saying I just wanted a chat and that I have never seen anyone here. She says they do regular clientele business/tourists usually. I wonder who is her regular clientele? Anyway the moment of truth...I tried the Mango (milk?) tea at the office, it tasted like a bigger version of a Yakult, this is really wrong. Mango should not taste like this!! The pearls are not "springy" and do not have any taste (I like them with some sugar in the pearls) and so this drink was a disaster. Sorry Up T, I really don't think I will come back anytime soon. It's not like this place is any cheaper than the others. Next time Chatime has a big queue, I might just pop over to the Soho branch or even just go to Mooboo, or even Longji.
