Harden's survey result
Summary
Though “well patronised by suited government types and Sky News executives”, it’s easy to overlook this “unassuming restaurant in an otherwise soulless building on a Westminster corner-site”. “It’s a pleasure to find” though, especially if you like “classic Sichuan cooking”. Chef Zhang Xiaozhong provides “thoughtfully presented and delightful dishes, with punchy flavours and consistent quality” and “the menu indicates degrees of spice / heat for each item”. “Always busy – it’s best to reserve” and – though very “efficient” – service can also be seen as “brusque” or “rushed”. Top Menu Tip – “some dishes you don’t get in most Chinese restaurants, such as delicious preserved egg”.
For 33 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).
