We ordered: -Stir-fried veg. beef ho fun (£9.80) -- this is just like the classic beef chow fun dish I used to love before I went vegan. The beef is remarkable uncannily similar to what I remember sliced Chinese beef to be like. Very good. -Stir fried morning glory with vegan fish (£13.80) -- the morning glory party of the dish was very good, but I should've ordered the version without the vegan fish, as it was excessively fishy and salty for me. Still a good dish. -Kung pao veg chicken w/sichuan peppercorns (£12.80) -- very nicely flavoured, but a bit too sweet for a kung pao. Good textures though and goes well with a side of rice. All in all, good spot -- about on par with Tofu Vegan Islington (which I tried a night earlier).

At dinner, I've always had the small plates shared with my partner but recently got to try their lunch. I had a curry that was out of sight. 100% would get again. Prices are also reasonable (especially for London), and the vibe and service have also always been good. The servers are quick to take your order and food generally comes quickly. Don't miss them if you're in the area!

Based on the line we saw out front from all the times we passed by, we would have never guessed it was vegan! My personal favourite was the miso aubergine, followed by the hiya yakko tofu. The mayo tempura sushi roll was also good (they don't serve the nigiri sets like they used to though). We also got the nanbanzuke, which was interesting as we were expecting a hot dish, and it came out cold. The spicy ramen was decent, but nothing to write home about, imo. We finished off with the house made yuzu cheesecake of the day, which was close in texture to a real cheesecake - not an easy feat to pull off. All in all, great experience, and would be back to try other tapas on their menu. When we left @7:30pm, there was a line forming outside, which speaks to its popularity!

I love vegetarian restaurants - and love upscale ones even more…read more This is a lame addition to the upscale vegetarian category. Vegetarian cooking is British cooking taken to the highest level. Good ingredients - Simply but Expertly Prepared. Good ingredients are critical and flavor retention in the kitchen is life and death. We did a mixed vegetable soup. (Fancy name - Tuscan soup . Simpler reality - vegetables boiled in a stock and then pureed.) Done right - this is one of the staples of vegetarian comfort food - and places like Planet Organic do terrific versions of the dish. The Carnevale version was tasteless brown stuff with orange flecks. A plate of artichokes (not a fancy one drowning in flavored bread stuffing. The pure up and simple - here is your artichoke - buy a good one and cook it to keep the taste.) The artichokes came out small and tasteless. Admittedly artichokes were not in season when I ate here .... but if this is the case - why are they on the menu? Manchego with quince and biscuits were lovely - but then the kitchen did nothing here. But at least they bought good cheese, quince and biscuits. The room itself shows the same sloppiness of execution that is shown in the cooking. On the night we were there one fluorescent like fixture was broken with the bulb stinking out of the fixture at a 30 degree angle. Packages of napkins were piled up in the dining room for storage as if we were eating in a cleaning goods closet. Yes the place is small and storage is at a premium. But even if one must store goods in the dining room - can't one at least cover it up so it doesn't look like your paper depository? Add to this that the place charges Barbican Banker prices. If I am paying this much for vegetables, please buy good ones - and actually take some care in their preparation - rather than just blasting them through and covering up the results with sauce..

I was a vegetarian and pescatorian for nearly 8 years. This was one of my favourite restaurants in…read moreLondon when I had lived there from 2005-2010. The owner and staff were always extremely friendly, and this was my little safehaven in London which I used to go to after work at night for takeaway. In 2009 I started eating meat again, but I never stopped eating at this place, because it's truly one of the best restaurants in London, whether you're a vegetarian or not. The ambiance and atmosphere feels like you're in some secret garden, hidden away from all the chaos of the city. In 2010 I took my sister here, and she said it was one of the best Italian-Mediterranean meals she has ever eaten. Quite a statement considering she's a real foodie and has been to hundreds if not thousands of different restaurants in Italy among other places. If you don't have the time or a date to eat at this quaint restaurant, I would highly suggest getting takeaway. This is what I did at least once or twice a week for five years (yes the food was that good). The takeaway was about half the price of eating in, although you only got the special of the day, which changed often. The halloumi egg piadine is to die for, as is the risotto and pretty much everything they serve. The sandwiches they make at lunch are awesome such as the eggplant and mozzarella and the brownies and drinks are really good too. This is one of the places I miss the most in London. I still crave that Halloumi and Egg sandwich almost on a daily basis, I hope I get to eat it again some day.

I had always avoided this place as I though it would be one of these awfully tasting Thai Buffets…read morethat are so ubiquitous here in London. Also, I am not a great fan of fake meat: I find that if you're a vegetarian, what's the point in creating a tofu that looks and feels like a piece of beef, pork, shrimp or whatever...really, I don't get that! Anyway, having read about the positive reviews about this place here on Yelp in addition to my desperation on finding a good Chinese restaurant that does takeaway in my neighbourhood, I finally gave this place a try. (By the way, they just recently changed their name from Peking Palace to Loving Hut.) My verdict: I am actually impressed! I ordered the house special noodles for takeaway. The service was very pleasant and when I received my order, they explained to me that they had place the crispy noodles separately so that they're not getting soggy yet - how thoughtful. Back at home, I really enjoyed my meal: the vegetables were perfectly cooked, the sauce was tasty and the noodles were perfectly crispy! Really, I am a fan now, and have finally found a place that appeals to my craving for Chinese food in Archway!

Located near the famous Baker Street Station, we stopped by this spot while meeting a friend and…read moredecided to grab a quick bite. The place was quite busy, and interestingly, the same person taking orders was also cooking. It's a very small setup--definitely not meant for dining in. The vibe is more like "grab your food and head out." We ordered chicken egg fried rice and chicken chow mein. Watching the food being cooked right in front of us was fascinating--quick, high heat, and full of action. Once we got our order, we sat outside to eat. The first thing I noticed was that the food was quite oily. More disappointing, though, was that I couldn't find any chicken in my fried rice--even though I had paid extra for it. I went back, showed them, and asked if chicken had been added. They bluntly said "yes" and didn't bother to check further, which was frustrating That said, the food itself tasted good overall. It's just that the oiliness and the lack of proper service took away from the experience. I wouldn't say I won't visit again--it feels more like an off day--but I was definitely expecting better service.
