I was very excited to hear about a new casual Chinese food eatery in London! The Cafe itself is set up like a fast food restaurant. It is quite large and clean with plenty of casual seating.
Being our first time there, of course we had to try their Pulled Pork Sandwich. You can choose between regular and lean. Even the lean pork is very tender and flavourful. The pastry is light and not too greasy. I do wish the pork had some sort of green mixed in though (e.g. Green onion, cabbage or chives), as it tasted a bit one dimensional.
Their other go-to item is their Mi Pi, which is like a flat rice noodle cucumber salad dish. It has a sesame oil and vinegar based sauce/dressing, with plenty of shredded cucumber, as well as some kind of plant based protein that I cannot identify. Even though the dish is fairly plain and did not blow my mind, it was refreshing and complements any of their spicy dishes very well.
The last item we tried was their wonton with the sweet spicy sauce. We were told this is less spicy than their Aloma flavoured wonton. I would say these sweet spicy wontons were 5/10 on the spicy scale. The wontons were definitely on the small side, and again, the filling was lacking any kind of green. The soup base was good, but was a bit too oily for my liking.
The prices are all quite reasonable, so it's worth trying once! read more
