With the closure of its Soho branch, this “creative and fun modern Chinese restaurant recently opened in Camden Town”, in November 2022, complete with funky, hard-edged decor and serving an East-meets-West style of Asian cuisine, washed down with cocktails. “Not all the dishes are entirely successful but some are delicious. Service is sweet natured, helpful and knowledgeable”.

"The restaurant is conveniently located a stone's throw from Camden tube. The entrance is unprepossessing but the interior is comfortable with well-spaced tables. The music was a little too loud but they did turn it down. The food was excellent - Asian fusion but with lots of interesting dishes from smacked cucumber to an interesting take on prawn toast. There are other notables on the menu too, but make sure you save space for a burnt cheesecake - £14 and enough for 4 to have a bite or two. Service was great - attentive and friendly but not overbearing. And the price (£200 for 5 including wine, beers and service) was excellent value for a delicious meal. Will be going back."

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Sunday Times

Giles Coren was thrilled by a “wild ride through the foodie backstreets of an imaginary EuroTaiwanese wonderland”, at a self-styled ‘modern Asian restaurant’ recommended to him by an eminent but unnamed KC and fronted by an Irishman named Brendan.

The food, which included a “mental sesame prawn toast” made with brioche and parmesan (“obviously”) and a Basque-style burnt cheesecake that was “arguably the best in the world”, was certainly not for the traditionalist. 

Most of it, though, was “extraordinary”, with “a couple of duds to keep everyone on their toes. El Bulli was the same. The Fat Duck too. If there’s no grit, there ain’t no pearl.”
