It's in East London, and easy to get to from where my friend lived. We opted to do light bites, and I ordered some grilled halloumi while my friend got sweet potato fries. Both were very tasty!

Crammed full of London Chinese, MaPo is serving up spicy and interesting Sichuan dishes in an…read moreunspicy and uninteresting location (Surrey Quays). A rather empty conversion of an old Vietnamese place on the main road gives an echoey room full of noisy contented diners and intriguing oily aromas. With no booking we had a short wait on NYE 2013 before getting our table for two and ordering coke and Tsinghua. The main menu was completely ignored in favour of the all-you-can-eat hotpot deal which weighs in at £18 per person. Spicy broth and clear broth came along with plates an plates of mostly frozen meat, mushrooms and seafood. Nothing tasted like good quality and the service followed the Chinese London pattern of being borderline aggressive, but hey, we weren't in Surrey Quays for fine dining and locally-sourced ingredients; we were here to stuff our faces with as much cheap and super-spicy stuff as we could. Deal with it. So bottom-less spicy hotpot does exist in London after all. It's not that good but still awesome that it exists. Don't eat for 2 days and then come here and don't stop eating for hours. That's how Elites do it!

The food quality was ok we had mini wok and Chrissy duck. The wok was "fun" because we got the good on an actual wok and it was large but it was a bit greasy bit that might be because we went with lamb option. The crispy duck was nice and good size. Surprisingly they have many milk shake options and they tasted very nice, definitely recommend them especially if you order something spicy.

The small one was enough but if you want to fully satisfy a craving for Pho you may go for the large one. Broth is very good and the ratio of noodles and meat is right.

The service is really very poor - impersonal and abrupt. The portions are also small and terrible value for money. I opted for my favourite dish of duck and I got two tiny pieces on the bone and with ginger and spring onions. The onions weren't at all appealing and tasted odd with the ginger essence. Being uncharacteristically British, I did complain about the portion and all the waiter could do was advise me to speak to the Chef who looked so unfriendly that I didn't dare say anything. Needless to say I won't be returning. Perhaps this was just a one off bad experience but it just shows that first impressions really do count.

I don't know what the place was like 2 years ago, but I have always found the staff to be friendly and attentive, but not intrusive.

I thoroughly recommend it!
