"joy luck is located in the china town main street, gerrard street, and they can easily find it through its green and red facade sign. I was on a solo mission this time, so I came in and sat on the window, although with the window posters, not really great views, to be honest. the natives are quite small (there are no more floorings on the upper floor, which I did not have the opportunity to visit) and it is not characterized by its decoration, quite simply by the way. I'm here to eat! I looked at the menu, even though I already knew what I wanted. I had seen his lanzhou la mien, a bark soup, but I couldn't find that easilly in the menu, so I asked to wait and he showed me in the right direction. when they go there, it is on the noodle, suppe and noodle side, and it is the top option in the left column. in the ground it is a rich broth with hand-picked noodles, and their choice of bark or pig. I had also heard of her knödeln, so I chose some to finish lunch. I had to say that the service was really good, despite my multiple asking and the last minute change from me, but the waiting time was far too long. After almost 25 minutes, I had the noodle in front of me. I went for the black and cut pitch option. 10 knödel, £7.80 (not bad). they are simply cooked, not pan fried, not sharp, but I had to add the spicy kick with some chili oil. they were really pretty good. 7 out of 10 in a dump external balance. five minutes later, I had the supper bowl. the broth was quite rich (for a Chinese suppe,) she had a decent amount of handmade noodles, perfect size cut and really delicious, coriander and pak choi as veggis and the bark was at the right point of chewiness. again I add some chili oil to him and fluff it to make it extra sharp, and. oh gott! that was all I needed. actually it is a really nice suppe, better that the baozi inn one of my thinking after, and much tastier that other places. price around £10 for the suppe, which is in average for london china standards. I didn't try any of the drinks at this opportunity, but it's definitelylly a place to come back, so next time. more pictures in enjoy the eat blog."

"Funny this place hasn't been noticed too much so far. The other restaurant perhaps it's branch on Ditchling road that has the same name has got nasty reviews, but this is for the one on Queen's Road near the station. It's only based...on one visit when I tried the Chicken Sweet Corn Soup and Dry Ribs in Hot Chili Sauce. Both were very good i.e. soup was freshly made and tasted good especially with some chili sauce added, the ribs were very tasty although I'd like the ribs to be a notch spicier, but if you're not used to spicier food you might find it very hot. Szechuan cuisine can be very, very hot is quite a bit different from the Cantonese Chinese food that is more prevalent. Service can be slow if the there are say more than customers sitting in at the same time because it looks like they have only one Chef in the Kitchen. The good news is that he's from Szechuan. Staff are friendly and courteous so I had no issues. It was nice to see the owner's children and wife sit down and eat there at the restaurant although they were eating something that looked very healthy like raw vegetables that stew in a hot pot on the table stuff I generally avoid. Ambiance is basic with some nice red Chinese lamps hanging around, but I guess that's pretty typical of Chinese restaurants. Nothing to complain about. The food really was good and I'm giving them a on grounds of taste, freshness and pleasant staff. If you're fussy about speed then you may rate them differently. I paid about in total for my meal: NOTE boiled rice is extra and you may order as much as you can eat for and there is a service charge added to the bill. I did not drink anything since I generally prefer LOTS of tap water when I'm eating spicy food. Frankly, I'm very curious about why people order bottled water in a place like the UK where the tap water is most likely better."
