    Taiwanese 16 spice prawn and cuttlefish toast
    Sophie W.

    The only reason this review gets four stars instead of five is due to the service - things were really really slow and it took the server forever to even take my order. That being said, the food was amazing! I did the tasting menu and drink pairing, and each dish was perfect (and came out timely). I was STUFFED by the end - the last course was super filling. All in all I'd definitely recommend it and would go back!

    Most dishes are unusual by UK standards, and good, even if not extraordinary. However, the menu is short, so how often can you visit this place? The décor is elegant for SoHo, but it is quite cramped. Service is several notches above the normal Chinatown level, but except for the excellent French receptionist and the lady tea preparation expert, not terribly pro-active. More a 3-and-a-half star than a 4-star one.

    Dumplings and jerky
    Dani R.

    Delicate Taiwanese food. Every dish is prepared with care and each brings unique combinations of taste. I recommend the jerky starter - a very good sampling of warm meats. The dumplings were also delicious. Have never tasted a dumpling of this quality. They were quite different from cheap ones because the outer dough is chewier, which I really enjoyed. You won't find any fatty, greasy Asian food here and portions aren't huge. Not cheap, but really nice for a night out. The decor is calming and warm with a retro feel

    I had high expectations of this place, because I love their sister restaurant, "Bao." However, it was a little bit disappointing. The thing is, everything tasted fine... but that was it... it was only "fine." When I am paying £30 for suckling pig that is meant for 2 people, I am expecting the skin to be crispy and the portion to actually BE for 2. The taste was ok, and of course, the gua baos were nice. As for the famous "Shoupa Chicken," it was flavorful but a bit greasy for my taste. The special soy milk drink was actually my fave part of the meal. We ended up paying £90 for food that we could have made at home, and left slightly hungry.

    The shou pa chicken was lovely - tender cuts of chicken with flavourful dripping and crispy chicken skin crumb (yum!).
