Sometimes the best experiences come from chance, and this restaurant was exactly that. We had been looking for an Asian spot outside of the usual, over-visited choices in London and were drawn here by its high ratings, even though only a few people had reviewed it. Initially hesitant, we decided to give it a try—and it turned into one of the most unforgettable dining experiences I’ve had.
From the moment we walked in, the hospitality stood out. We were warmly greeted by Stella, the host, who guided us to our table downstairs. Soon after, our server Jeanie introduced us to the menu and provided a tablet with photos of all the dishes, which made choosing much easier. As we browsed, the head chef personally came to our table, welcomed us, and even helped us select some of their standout dishes. His warmth and genuine interest in ensuring we had the best experience set the tone for the night, and our chat with him made the evening feel personal and memorable.
The food itself was exceptional—truly beyond words. Every dish, from starters to mains to sides, carried bold, balanced, and deeply satisfying flavors. For starters, we had the Yin Yang nutmeg prawns, chicken rolls, grilled chicken satay, and pan-fried chicken and vegetable dumplings. Each offered a unique blend of flavors and textures, and all were outstanding. For mains, we chose the smoky beef rib rendang and the crispy beef ribs—both phenomenal, but the rendang in particular was remarkable, with beef so tender it was unlike anything I’ve had before. We also ordered the black pepper Angus beef and the red honey chicken, both rich and flavorful. Sides included egg noodles and vermicelli, each complementing the dishes beautifully. Every single item we tried was executed perfectly and left a lasting impression.
To end the evening, Stella returned to check on us, genuinely interested in our experience and eager to hear our thoughts. The conversation felt warm and sincere, more like speaking with a friend than a typical host–guest exchange. It was the perfect conclusion to an already incredible night.
Everything about this restaurant—its food, service, and hospitality—was flawless. It is without question a 10/10 and, in my view, the best Asian restaurant in London. A true hidden gem that deserves far more recognition
