Tian Tian - Tower Hamlets

Most unlikely of areas, visually a bit concerning but best Chinese you will have in London for 30% less than in Chinatown. Large portions so maybe order 3 mains for 4 people.

The restaurant has a minimalistic decor, but the food is truly excellent. The staff is polite and attentive, and they serve your food promptly so you don't have to wait long.

I had never been to this restaurant before, but I was excited to go with friends. Overall, I couldn't find any faults with what we ordered, but I would choose different dishes next time to try new flavors. The szechwan steak was delicious, as were the green beans with pork mince (I would definitely order those again). The salted squid was good, but not quite what I expected, so I was a little disappointed. However, it's important to try new things without comparing them to other restaurants. The Singapore chicken curry had thick potato wedges and a gravy that reminded us of chip shop curry sauce, which wasn't to my taste but was still interesting. I wouldn't recommend that dish. We washed everything down with plenty of green tea, and I appreciated that there was no MSG in the food since I'm sensitive to it.

Very authentic Chinese food! Similar to the ones I had in China. Not like localised Chinese food here. Definitely will come again. Though I personally think the sliced beef and tongue has room for improvement.

Food is good, fresh and authentic.Terrible service, I find the staff very rude and unwelcoming. They won't even share wifi password.
