What a fantastic restaurant. I went there last night and the whole experience was great from start to finish. The cost is more than normal, the portions are much larger than normal and the food tastes better than normal! What more can you ask for?! As a guide, a portion here is probably twice that anywhere else so order accordingly. I can thoroughly recommend the Barbecue Ribs with Pepper and Spicy Salt. I regularly eat spare ribs and these were definitely the best I have ever eaten.

Absolutely gobsmackingly chop-licking food. For ex-HongKongers who miss good homecooking. The chilli sauce which may be supplied on request is more-ishly sweet, then tangy then wham-bam-kick on the tongue.
Every dish excels and I'll watch the weight creep on as I eat my way through the menu. My personal favourite - the wonderful Hainan chicken rice is reminiscent of the Malaysian hawker markets with a pungent raw garlic finish to the additional side-sauce. You see the ravenous homesick overseas students, the romantic lovers, the sophisticated morsel-tasters, pallid office-workers, busy Holborn executives, bored housewives, note-taking critics all here for their fix of Oriental food.
You get service with personality here from the friendly attentive all-female staff.
Pricewise the cost is more than normal but the dishes are almost double-size, they are great value overall.
Heavenly! Go now.
