"Joy Luck used to be home to one of London’s great ramens — in la mian form — before the immigration raids, and is still home to one of its great pastas: its wuhan dry noodles. These alkaline noodles are served with sesame paste, chilli oil, chopped chillis, pickles, and two cloves of minced garlic; riotous yet impeccably balanced. As good as anything on every fresh pasta restaurant that has opened in London this year." - Jonathan Nunn
