Harden's survey result
Summary
“Superb grilled dumplings” and “highly flavoursome noodle dishes with a deep, beefy rich stock” win fans for these Chinese canteens near Spitalfields Market: “perfect for a quick bite with an ice-cold beer”. “Staff are super-efficient, but tables turn quickly… although that’s part of the deal”. “There are three locations, the (smaller) Artillery Lane branch is the most atmospheric, but you can’t book there so be prepared to queue”. The Wentworth Street branch takes reservations, while Middlesex Street is takeaway only.
Summary
“Not quite street food per se, but certainly fast, cheap and very specialised” – this simple canteen in a cute alley near Spitalfields Market is a “most superior noodle bar”. Take care, “it could be addictive”: “the various types of hand-pulled noodles are excellent” (“rich and spicy broth with giant meatballs and fall-apart ribs of pork”). “The nearby branch in Middlesex Street only does walk-ins but ALWAYS has a queue”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
