Nice atmosphere but mediocre taste. I went on a Sunday afternoon to the standalone store outside the market.

While customer service was nice, there were few choices of baked goods. Ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and the fig newton mille feuille. Both looked good but tasted mediocre at best. The matcha is relatively low quality and had very little matcha taste. The mille feuille was overbaked. The figs added nothing to the pastry as the prominent flavour was just sweet.

Would not recommend either items.

Loved everything! Great price with good proportions. A rare restaurant in London that serves authentic Chinese-style street food.

With an extensive menu, we ordered the Chinese hamburger (rou jia mo) and wontons in chilli sauce pork and shrimp flavour.

The hamburger had the perfect ratio of lean, fat and gelatinous pork. You can taste the meat was stewed and soaked up all the Chinese stewing herbs and spices. 💯

The wonton in chilli oil may look intimidating but the soup was balanced. It was not too spicy but there was enough flavour. Also, they gave so many wontons.

Restaurant only takes cash for e-transfer.

Allows you to have customization if you use the machine ordering. Ordered a taro and matcha sherbet. Made it less sugar and ice. Matcha was ok, wish it had stronger matcha taste. Taro was good and smooth.

One of the cutest bubble tea shops in London. The aesthetics are A+.

The drinks are on the sweet side. Both drinks are regular sugar.

The boba in the Matcha Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk were warm, soft and sweet. I wished the matcha had a stronger flavour.

The Cocoa Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk was super sweet, it tasted like a chocolate milkshake.
