Facing Heaven

Such a fantastic place. The whole menu is vegan and the three dishes we tried (cabbage, cauliflower and the Dan Dan noodles) were fantastic. The service was quite quick, and the food was spot on. Very spicy though, so ask about it if you can't handle your spice. I need to go back to try the other dishes. The rotating menu sounds great to keep the novelty when you visit again. The place is quite small, so if you don't book be aware that you might not be able to get a seat, or might have to wait a bit. Loved it! ❤️

This has got to be my current fav Chinese restaurant in London! Excellent food and so much variety. Only downside is that some dishes can be oily but everything was tasty nevertheless. Recommend the scallion pancake, crispy cauliflower, stir fry cabbage, and dan dan noodles

My new favorite restaurant. The kind of place that can convince even the most stalwart carnivore that vegan food actually tastes good. Eat everything, but especially the sesame toast.

Incredible flavours, decent portions and probably the best brussel sprouts I’ve ever had. Will need to come back to try the rest of the menu. (From a non-vegan)

Firstly, the 80s decor here is spot on! Shout out to the lazy susan too, made sharing so much easier. Then there's the food... OK, first a warning: the menu seems to be updated regularly, so the dishes you see on social might not be available when you visit. We'd hoped to try the ribs and the prawn toast, but these weren't on the menu last night. However, we weren't disappointed for long! We ordered the tofu and tomato salad (their take on a traditional caprese), the jalepeno poppers, the chick'n fried shrooms, the famous dan dan noodles and the chop curry. This was to share between 3, leaving room for dessert. I was expecting the noodles to be the star of the show but it was the mushroom and poppers that had us talking all the way home. I'd HIGHLY recommend both. We tried both dessert options between us - the Hong Kong French toast and the ice cream with chilli oil. I didn't personally try the latter but am told it was tasty and HOT. We definitely should have shared just one portion of the toast between us as the portion is enormous! Like, I-still-have-half-of-one-in-my-fridge kind of enormous. Really good though, would again recommend. The service was impeccable throughout our visit despite it getting slowly busier to the point of full capacity (including a VERY famous celeb) - hats off to the fantastic staff on both sides of the counter! My only 'wish' would be for a phone number. I made a mistake and booked for the wrong day, didn't realise until the day of and wasn't able to contact the restaurant directly. Thankfully I was able to change my booking via Resy, but it took me a few minutes of panic before I realised this and I think I was very lucky that there was still a table available.

Food tasted amazing, great combinations of flavours. Really recommend the noodles and the dumplings. Kind and friendly service. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful.

This place has the potential to be a really great - the food was amazing but the service was really awful. We honestly felt like an inconvenience to them from the beginning to end. I don’t know if we’ll return.

Such cool atmosphere. The food is incredible, an explosion of taste. I am obsessed with their dan dan noodles. I only found out after a few times coming back that the menu is all vegetarian, terrific. Highly recommended
