This would have to be the worst dining experience since arriving in London. The menu is deceiving - shredded chicken with chilli should be shredded chicken but was completely coated in a batter and place in an MSG sweet and sour sauce. When questioning the food the owner was quite abrupt and said this is how the food is here and every place makes thing diffrently. We were looked upon like we didnt know what we were asking for - but it certainly did not meet the expectations and the atmosphere was lacking people anyway and its no wonder. The positive is that its set on the river Thames and would be a great local if they served great Chinese food. But instead they are still caught up in the 70's fever of cooking which is unappealing, not tasty and guarenteed puffy eyes from MSG.
