"This old-school Chinese restaurant off Brick Lane can be a bit of welcome respite from some of the trendier spots in the surrounding area. This is a white tablecloth, big menu with pictures kind of affair. The hot pots are excellent and much-needed for 90% of the year, and the twice-cooked pork in chilli oil with buns is one of the tastiest (and biggest) things you can get for under a tenner in London. This is a great spot for a catch-up with mates, a last-minute dinner, or anything really." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
