The waitstaff were attentive and friendly, though we found the reception staff to be somewhat dismissive. Perhaps Boxing Day isn't the best day to visit, as the restaurant seemed overwhelmed. The interior design is stunning, but the dim lighting made it difficult to fully enjoy the presentation of the dishes.
We chose the set menu, which may not have been the best option for the day. The pacing felt rushed, leaving us unable to properly enjoy each course. Meanwhile, a family next to us ordered à la carte and seemed to have a more relaxed dining experience.
Regarding the food, we were disappointed. The 'crispy' fried chicken was soggy and lacked freshness, comparable to fast food rather than fine dining. The Peking duck was extremely dry, with hoisin sauce that tasted store-bought rather than house-made. We also missed the traditional crispy skin and instead received large, inedible pieces of fried bone. The 'wagyu' beef was the biggest letdown. Despite ordering it medium, it arrived overcooked and dry, with none of the tenderness or flavor expected of wagyu. Surprisingly, the mushrooms accompanying the dish were the highlight.
Dessert slightly redeemed the meal, but at £245, including a few sugary drinks, the overall value fell far short of expectations. The restaurant has great potential, but we hope they refine their execution and pacing for future diners.
