A hit with the locals
A few words from Top Chef’s own Google reviews. The shop’s always busy, with delivery drivers waiting outside, so you know it’s doing something right.
“Best Chinese food in London. The aromatic crispy duck, sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style, honey-glazed ribs… no matter what you order, you cannot go wrong.”
“Easily the most consistent takeaway in the area. The food is always spot on, full of flavour and fresh, and they don’t skimp on the portions. Really well priced too.”
“Delicious! Love the atmosphere inside, proper authentic. The food is so good, got the chicken box meal with egg fried rice. Really nice service, I’ll be coming again.”
