"From the outside, Yipin China may not look like much, but really it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Expect a rich and unique combination of intensely spicy, chilli-based flavours mixed with regional-specific curing and smoking techniques. Here there is plenty of authentic Hunan dishes such as spiced snails, pig’s liver with pak choy and Chairman Mao’s red-braised pork, alongside a range of neighbouring Sichuan and Cantonese province dishes on the menu. Make sure to get in early before, 5pm, as there’s a special menu offering a range of dishes with rice for just £5.50. It’d be rude not to." - Angela Hui, Jonathan Nunn, James Hansen
