"The restaurant has delicious food and friendly staff. We first tried it a year ago when our usual Friday night spot was closed, and we haven't returned to our old place since. We always order from Wok Express through Deliveroo. The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently delicious. Be sure to try the gold lucky cookies when they are available, they are the best I've ever had. Not only are the messages sweet, but they taste amazing too!"

"I absolutely adored this restaurant! It's a must-try, especially if you don't have access to authentic Szechuan cuisine where you live. It's definitely going on my list of places to revisit in London and to recommend to others. The atmosphere is charming and the service is good. It's a small venue, so it can feel a bit crowded. I suggest visiting during non-peak hours. Having a late lunch or early dinner at 2 or 3pm worked perfectly for us! We enjoyed everything we ordered, although we ended up ordering too much. You can easily share 4-5 appetizers or small meat dishes and still leave satisfied. The specials consist of large bowls of assorted meats, which are enough for a meal for two and are incredibly tasty. From the pork roll appetizer (thinly sliced carrots rolled in pork) to the smashed cucumber (a refreshing vegetable dish) to the spicy cold sliced beef with beef tongue, everything was delicious. The beef and onions were tender and flavorful, perfect for even the pickiest eaters. The special Mocai dish was served in a large bowl of spicy broth with fish balls, tripe, prawns, thinly sliced beef, luncheon pork, and more. I added pork intestine, but I would recommend getting it cooked in a dry wok for a crispy texture. The chicken feet were my least favorite, as they were a bit too sweet for my liking. Perhaps they could be ordered in a different sauce for a better balance of flavors."

"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!"

"It's been a long time since my last visit to this restaurant. The first time I went, I was a bit hesitant about the cash-only policy and while the food was good, I felt that something was lacking. However, I ordered takeout from there two weeks ago and the food was fantastic! The portion size was generous and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be ordering from them again."
