Prices are good, service lacks. We asked for coke zero and got normal coke, already opened in a can! We asked to make the food extra spicy, but even after adding all extra chili oil offered after asking again it was only mildly spicy. The location of the restaurant is fantastic if you like to watch thousands of people from all over the world passing by. The food was served very fast and was absolutely ok.

ロンドン観光の途中、昼食で立ち寄りました。 広東料理も四川料理も、中国料理なんでもという店でした。シンガポール焼きそばと水煮魚片と野菜の炒め物(ニンニク味)を食べましたが、シンガポール焼きそばが今一つでした。 値段はリーズナブル。
