Stick & Bowl

Go here if you want quick delicious Chinese dishes that is cooked with care and you don’t mind being in tight space and about service. Don’t get me wrong the service is good but don’t expect a nice restaurant hospitality. This is a place where you come to eat something quick but delicious. We got the CRISPY PORK and SESAME CHICKEN and hot and sour soup. Wow!! DELICIOUS!!!

Very friendly multi-lingual staffs! Ordered (1)£11.8 seafood Singapore noodles (星洲炒米），lightly spicy, very nice 👍🏼 it would be better if it's cooked with curry power (2)£11.8 Beef Dry Hofun（乾炒牛河）, it tastes good but a rather strong soy sauce flavour (3)£8.5 Beef Onion Stir fry in Soy sauce 醬爆牛肉 + £3.5 rice 白飯, friend said it's so-so, texture of the beef isn't very good. Table setting is a bit of a Japanese fast food restaurant, good to serve. A good choice for early dinner before a show in Royal Albert Hall, as restaurants in South Kensington are usually pricey. In terms of Hong Kong style, it is worth trying, 最少有鑊氣
