Taste of China - Angel N1

So happy to have tasted such authentic Sichuan style food in this little gem restaurant. The service was warm and helpful. The interior decor feels traditional, welcoming and clean. We had an amazing dinner to celebrate friend's birthday.

Opened only recently, Taste of China is an authentic Sichuan restaurant, whose head chef is Sichuanese himself. Their 20% discount on launch (now sadly no longer available) compelled me to try their hot-pot special (£23.90 per person - for an unlimited number of dishes for 2 hours). Overall, the experience was wholly positive. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, recommending the most fresh dishes for the hotpot itself. As many other hot-pot goers may know, fresh produce is of great importance. To begin with, the broth was excellent. The non-spicy broth was incredibly well-made - incredibly fragrant and had a natural but flavourful taste. The spicy broth was to a strong degree of spice but not overpowering. The dishes themselves were good also: the lamb and beef was very up-to-standard as you'd expect. The fish, for me, was by far the highlight and a must-get. The cabbage was fresh. The mushrooms were equally well-soured. However, it must be said that I did not enjoy ...

Absolutely authentic Sichuan food in London. You will not find one that’s better. Honestly probably the most spicy food I had in UK as well. Highly recommended.
