"Bashan is quite possibly my favorite Chinese restaurant in London and, having spent many years in China, I can say with little hesitation that it is quite authentic. Hunan cuisine is my favorite variety of Chinese food, and they do a great job. They have a lot of things on the menu that are common in China (and delicious) but are hard to find outside of China (especially different types of mushroom/fungus). The staff is very friendly and helpful, and can easily deal with patrons in both English and Mandarin. The decor is very quintessentially traditional Chinese and very nicely done. Whenever a friend visits London for some time, I always use the opportunity to bring them to Bashan. Also, it is a great place to go before the theater, as it is very conveniently located for going to them. Can't recommend it enough!"
