Harden's survey result
Summary
This handy street-food operation has raided the cuisines of East Asia to provide a range of “informal dining at its best – authentic food with friendly and helpful service”. The Albert Square original now has three spinoffs in Manchester and one in London.
Summary
This pan-Asian pleases the crowd with everything from Japanese ramen and Singaporean laksa to Thai red curry and Balinese pork belly. The Albert Square original has spawned five other sites across the city.

Summary
“Better than Wagamama etc.” – if you’re in the market for a quick city-centre lunch, this “consistent” and “authentic” Pan-Asian continues to be a real local favourite; in summer 2018 they added a third Manc outpost in Piccadilly Gardens, but “the original branch on Albert Square in still a cut above the rest”.
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).
