"So we had a reservation at StreetXO for 9:30 pm, which is a newly opened restaurant in Mayfair- so of course, as per usual, it was difficult to get a table. But we made it! Entering the restaurant, I was amazed at just how warm and welcoming the staff were. We were assigned a host and was taken to our table. Looking at the menu, there was so much choice and has I have not been here before I was spoilt for choice. Whilst deciding our food choices, we decided to go for a white wine, I normally go for Pinot Grigio, but their house white wine seemed to still hit the spot. We also ordered one cocktail to share, which looked and tasted absolutely amazing! The idea to share a cocktail is a great idea as the cocktails are so huge! So the first we ordered was the Pekingese dumplings to share, which were crunchy pig’s ear with strawberry hoisin. These dumplings were the bomb! I was a little hesitant at first, as I would be eating pig’s ear but the taste was just exquisite. Tip: Smother the dumplings in the Strawberry hoisin to experience the full taste of these sweet dumplings! I then went ahead and ordered the Iberian grilled pork belly with mussels and shiitake mushrooms. I have to say that the combination of the pork belly and mussels are insane! What a great combo! Lastly, my friend ordered Korean lasagne XO style with Galician beef, shiitake mushrooms, and sour tomato sauce. I was thinking why come to a restaurant and order lasagne! However, this was no ordinary lasagne- This is StreetXO! This was probably the best lasagne that I have ever had by far! It was actually my friend’s dish, so I only tasted a few spoonful’s, but what I did taste left me wanting her leftovers. I definitely underestimated the lasagne, as it was crunchy, sour but left me with a sweet after taste. StreetXO does have a bar area, so if you cannot dine here, this would be a great place for drinks and cocktails, although if you do not dine here then you are definitely missing out! Overall, the vibe is great, whilst the food is unreal! It is that good! The service is slightly overbearing but you usually get that with most high-end restaurants, and it actually is a great value for money. Price: What to wear: Smart casual Ambience and hospitality: Super friendly and attentive staff. The only downside is the restaurant is very loud and gets very busy quickly."
