"Nobody, and we mean absolutely nobody, has gotten away with driving towards Brent Cross without pointing at Wing Yip’s magnificent, ornate palatial structure and announcing to the car, “I want to go there”. The Chinese supermarket is a London landmark and the restaurant (and indeed offices) attached to it are no different. Should you decide to turn off the A5 and enter the faux-bamboo fever dream, you’ll be rewarded with a classic, old-school Cantonese set-up. Big round tables. Grandparents and grandchildren sharing cheung fun. A Westlife greatest hits album on loop. It’s not the greatest dim sum in town, but it’s pretty decent. If you’re stocking up your cupboards and freezer next door, then lunch at Wing Tai is a must." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
