Harden's survey result
Summary
“Please whatever you do, don’t dress up to dine here!” – “This is a tiny, cheap hole-in-the-wall” near Great Portland Street tube, serving “comfort noodles for Chinese students and others”: “magical broth that feels utterly authentic and packed with flavour (we absolutely wolfed ours down!)”. “Everyone gets a warm welcome” too! (The Times’s Giles Coren is also a fan – “it drew tears of nostalgia for a 1970s Shenyang childhood that I never had”).
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).

Noodle & Snack Restaurant Diner Reviews
"We stumbled on this tiny, tucked away Chinese restaurant on a trip to the huge, wonderful Waterstones near the University of London. I’m so glad we did! The smell of the food took us straight back to the turn of the century when we lived in S.E. Asia. The punchy garlic flavour in the recommended vegetarian Biang Biang noodles really hit the spot and the fried tofu was cooked just as we like it. We’re so pleased to have found this restaurant. We recognise that its authenticity in food and ambience might not appeal to those seeking a refined, fine dining experience but that will be their loss! We can’t wait to return."
