Harden's survey result
Summary
“A bit mad and a lot great” – chef Luke Farrell’s tribute to the fun and flavours of Yaowarat Road, Bangkok’s Chinatown, goes down a treat in London’s Chinatown with its lurid cocktails and dishes using ingredients grown in the founder’s own tropical greenhouse. In July 2025, it spawned its first spin-off House in Portobello Road, a joint venture between backers JKS Restaurants and the Soho House group at The Electric Cinema. Formerly The Electric Brasserie (RIP): it looks set to remain a good place for local Trustafarians to work off their hangover… or to create one, as it will be open until 1am, complete with Thai pop and rock.
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).
