I'm not one to buy the Observer. I mean really I wouldn't want to make the wrong impression now. But according to them Alan Yau (of Yautacha and Hakkasan fame) rates this one of the top 5 chinese in the country. Now I used to walk past this place every day. Have dined here more often then I can remember and I must say Msr Yau isn't to far off the mark. The ambience is pleasant enough, service abrupt but endearing in the way only chinese restaurants can be. The menu is littered with classics but I must say that the bang bang chicken and the prawn with ginger and springonion are both brilliantly executed. The menu gets far more exotic than this in fact ... but you don't need to venture to far into the selection to be very pleasantly surprised...

In fact most people would drive straight by given the way it is hidden behind the discrete brick work. But if you happen to be in W13 make sure you follow Mr Yau's advice.
