Real Beijing Food House

"Food House is a comfortable Sichuan restaurant on the corner of Gerrard Street, serving chewy noodles, hot pots, and, most importantly, a portion of 30 dumplings. That last point is an important one. Because 30 dumplings. And also because they’re tasty boiled pork dumplings. Combined with a friend or two, some chilli oil lamb belt noodles, and an undying commitment to eating 30 of anything, it makes for a deliciously good-value meal." - Team Infatuation

"One of the comparatively recent new wave of Sichuan and Xi’an restaurants in Chinatown, Food House (風味食堂) is run by a younger generation of chefs and restaurateurs. Indeed, it might be the hippest restaurant in central London. Hordes of immaculately dressed shoppers and students gather for hot pots, whole fish in chilli oil, numbing Chongqing noodles, cumin-studded grilled skewers, and Chinese hamburgers while competing with the staff for the coolest look. This extremely trendy restaurant is a scene all of its own, but not unwelcoming; it’s perfect for a group booking." - James Hansen

"Food House is a comfortable Sichuan restaurant on the corner of Gerrard Street, serving chewy noodles, hot pots and, most importantly, a portion of 30 dumplings for under £20. That last point is an important one. Because, 30 dumplings. And also because they’re tasty boiled pork dumplings that - combined with a friend or two, some chilli oil lamb belt noodles, and an undying commitment to eating 30 of anything - make for a deliciously good value meal. photo credit: Giulia Verdinelli" - Jake Missing
