Harden's survey result
Summary
“No-fuss” Chinese dive in posh Kensington that’s “filled with surprising high-end customers, particularly given its shared table design” and beyond-retro 1950s decor. “The cheap food’s always the same: consistently delicious and freshly cooked – long may it continue in this expensive area”.

Summary
For Chinese chow as cheap as chips and chock full of flavour, this small, 1950s-style dive on posh Kensington High Street is just the ticket – it’s not a foodie fave rave, but a ‘good-nosh-for-not-a-lot-of-dosh’ kind of joint.
Summary
This “unreconstructed noodle bar” – whose “pretty tatty” looks are in sharp contrast to ever-more chichi High Street Ken – is “the real thing, for when you’re tired of Wagamama” (which it predates by decades). “Service is fast”, providing “a large choice of delicious Chinese chow to take away or eat in, at bargain prices”.
For 30 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).
