"I must have been here six times and after six consecutive five star meals it seems right to provide a review. Filipino food was new to me but the first time I tried it I was instantly taken with the lightness of the flavours even when they were bold. It’s a hell of a trick ! In addition, there are always so many subtle layers of flavour and texture dancing on my tongue. On my last visit there was an English gentleman on the next table who is married to a Filipino lady. He was so effusive about the Tahong and the calamari that he bought some for us to try. He was right to be effusive. The mussels were perfect and the creamy, zesty sauce was incredible. The belly of pork is the best I’ve ever had. The chicken adobo is hearty. The aubergine in the Pinkabet was so good I can’t even describe it. We were introduced to the chef and after the round of applause we gave him, he was at pains to tell us that EVERYTHING is prepared and cooked by him and his sous chef daily. Let me add that this review is being written in February 2022 and there are only three main courses that cost more than £10 and one of those is half of a duck! Service is attentive and friendly but you probably already guessed that. If your taste buds need a party, take a trip to Wapping. And if you are going to Wilton’s (the world’s oldest surviving music hall) for a show you’d be a fool to eat anywhere else. Trust me."
