“My go-to place for dim sum”, this substantial Chinatown operation looks “rather touristy” but pleases the crowd with Cantonese favourites including “the best roast duck in town”. It now has an offshoot in the new Bang Bang Oriental food hall in Colindale.
For 31 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).
