Hoppers - Chili Cheese Dosa

I stopped by for lunch around 2pm on a Saturday -- the place was still packed, but I was able to…read moresnag a cosy seat at the window since I was dining by myself. In a related and very lovely gesture, the server brought me a complimentary mutton roll (with chilli ketchup) and said they usually send something on the house for solo diners :) The roll was delicious -- savoury mutton without a strong game-y flavour that went really nicely with the mildly spicy ketchup. I decided to have an order of the Lankan chicken kari paired with a hopper. I did not know what a hopper was before then (let alone seen one), so it was an interesting surprise when I was served this unevenly thick, bowl-shaped rice pancake. Fortunately, I did not go wrong with this choice, as the hopper was so delicious. The light rice-based flavour of the hopper paired so nicely with the rich, slightly spicy curry and the tender and savoury chicken, and I really liked the textural variety of the hopper itself (thicker, spongier base and thinner, crispier sides). The ratio of hopper to curry was not quite right, though, so I ended up ordering another roti to enjoy the remaining half of my curry and chicken. The roti was really delicious -- fluffy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside -- and similarly paired super well in carrying the curry flavour. All in all, price point was pretty solid for the quality and amount of food. I thought the hopper was pricier than expected, but conversely the curry was less so -- so overall it all seemed quite reasonable. I would love the chance to come visit again and try more of their deliciously fragrant curry options next time.

My coworkers suggested we try Hoppers on a recent business trip. None of us had ever had Sri Lankan…read morefood, so we opted for the Group Menu. The server was a great help in guiding us through and helping us to order a good sample of items. The food was brought out a good pace. We had ti.e to eat each course and never felt overwhelmed. The food was delicious. There was no item we did not like. The items we ordered offered a balance of heat and cool.

Kind people and mouthwatering food await you at Banana Tree! We popped in for a quick bite before…read moreour show with the LCM theater. Our server assured us that the food would be out promptly and it was! I ordered the chicken pad Thai and honestly, it was the best I've ever had! The chicken was incredible. Definitely a pleasant surprise! My husband ordered the teriyaki steak so which was also delightful. We had the chicken dumplings as an appetizer in those were quickly devoured. This is a must stop in London but I've heard they have many locations in the UK!

I'd like to start by saying that in the two years we've been going to Banana Tree Greenwich, they…read morehave only ever been about good food, friendly service and a fun take on how to spend part of an evening. So too, a recent random weekday evening this August. Banana Tree had managed to lure us back into the restaurant via the 2,000 free Katsu burgers they were giving away. My husband signed up for - and got - his free burger. By the time I signed up, they were out of the free 2,000 and were offering me one at half-price! Still, a pretty good offer, so we went. As always, the service was great and the food was good. What really spoilt it though was the person who came up at the end with the card machine for us to pay. They gave us a QR code and a card with their name (it starts with 'A') and asked us to review their service! We hadn't seen this person up to that point. They hadn't served us, nor even brought us the bill. They were simply detailed to take payment. What sort of review could we possibly give them (and by extension Banana Tree)? This left a slightly sour taste in the mouth - after all, Banana Tree has always seemed to be a very engaged team that looks out for the collective good. This person, whose name starts with 'A', could've asked us to review the chap who seated us and took our order; or the wonderful person who delivered it (and brought a little pot of the chilli mayo to the table because I liked it so much). The person whose name starts with 'A' could've asked us to rate the whole Banana Tree team. They didn't and consequently let themselves down...and this Banana Tree branch too, just a tad.

It's definitely a young crowd/scene haha plenty of people on Friday evening and luckily were able to get seating upstairs Beautifully decorated but it'll be hard to hold a conversation since it's pretty noisy lol Pretty good variety of menu items, lots of Asian fusion dishes SO and I opt for their Crispy Aromatic Duck, Prawn and Chinese Chive Dumplings and Scallop Siu Mai Their Crispy Aromatic Duck was 5/5 -- crispy and not overly fried, great flavor too, SO and I really enjoyed it, funnily they bring it to you for display... then take it to the back to deconstruct, and then bring it back to you for grubbing afterwards haha Scallop Siu Mai and Prawn with Chinese Chive Dumplings were great too, a good filler for dinner, wishing it came with 4pc vs 3pc but I get it haha A pretty penny (or rather, pound heh) but it's London Worth a try if you like Crispy Duck!

Duck & Rice, Soho, London, England -- April 5…read more Our family of four with two kids ages 9 and 10 made our way to Duck & Rice after walking through the Chinatown area, which was absolutely packed and fun to explore, and we were looking for something lively with shareable dishes, and the overall experience felt energetic with some real highs and a few misses. Arrival and First Impressions The space has a strong personality with a mix of pub and restaurant energy and it felt busy from the moment we walked in, matching the chaos outside in Soho, but still relatively well controlled with a steady flow of service and a constant buzz that made it feel like a place always in motion. The Highlights Food came out quickly and leaned into that comfort style Chinese menu with a mix of dumplings and larger plates, and the soup dumplings were the clear favorite for the table with both kids fully on board which is always a win. The crispy duck with pancakes was also solid and more in line with what we expected, and overall the variety kept everyone engaged even if the kids stayed mostly in their comfort zone. The Challenges Portion sizes were a bit tricky for a family of four with several dishes coming in sets of three which meant ordering extra just to share evenly, and a few items missed the mark including shu mai that felt a bit dry. The duck and rice being served closer to room temperature was intentional to keep it tender but still felt a little off from expectation, and surprisingly there were no chili oil or similar condiments for the dumplings which would have helped quite a bit. The overall noise and energy level can also be a lot after a full day out. Final Thoughts This is a lively spot that fits right into the Soho and Chinatown energy and works well if you are looking for a fun fast paced meal with shareable dishes, but it is not without a few quirks and inconsistencies. We are glad we tried it and there are definitely things worth ordering, but with so many strong options nearby we would probably explore elsewhere next time, making it worth it for the experience but not a must return.

My meal was excellent. I had Prawn Crackers to start. A good sized portion came out. The crackers had a bit of a kick to them which was fine with me since I like spicy food. I followed it with Duck Pancakes (Shredded duck, hoisin sauce, fresh cucumber & spring onions) which was like Moo Shoo Duck and a Yamato Fillet Steak (Fillet seared to perfection with fresh garlic, black peppercorns, butter, and sake served with fried onion) which is one of their signature dishes. I had an Egg Fried Rice to go with the Steak. My drink was a St. Clements Cocktail (Tropical fresh orange, sweet pineapple & sour lemon juice, topped with white rum & orange liqueur) was very refreshing and something that I will try to make at home. Nick was my server. He took good care of me. I enjoyed chatting with him, and would ask for him again when I return.
