Oooh how exciting… a nice Chinese near my flat– yay! Portions were generous, everything was tasty, and it’s not too pricy. — They have some Sichuan dishes, so we tried the mapo tofu, which was looooovely… although not *too* spicy, so Unilocal super-spice lovers might want to ask for extra chillies? The tofu was perfect, silky and just gorgeous. It’s not often you get tofu that good in London! — We also ordered some stir-fried veggies, which were delicious. — the shrimp dumplings(siew mai) were tastsy too. — My only gripe was for the steamed buns(char siu)… the pork filling was gorgeous, but the buns themselves weren’t quite as fluffy/well steamed as I am used to… I’ll probably even bump this place up to 5 stars if I order it again and receive food as good as that!

Hidden gem! Please don’t be put off by the lack of people dining. This is a fairly new Chinese restaurant on Seven Sisters Road and in no way reflects the quality of their food. After ordering takeaway a few times we decided to pop around the corner to dine-in at our new local Chinese restaurant, and we weren’t disappointed. Staff were lovely and attentive, despite it being the end of the evening, and the food… from our starters to every dish that followed, was absolutely delicious! And ridiculously cheap too, if I must say so!!! The Roast Duck was incredible, as was the Chinese Broccoli in Garlic — sublime! A hidden gem if you’re looking for good Chinese in the Finsbury Park/Holloway Road area. We’ll be back there again, and until then we’ll be recommending it to anyone that will listen!
