One of the most fun restaurants I’ve been to in London! My friend and I thought that we had overordered but managed to eat everything. Highly recommend the garlic noodles and the garlic butter steak - but all of the food was unbelievable!! I’ll definitely be back for their happy hour and/or all you can eat options.

Another superb supper in the charming and inspired Goldies. Finally got around to trying the Pork - that crispy and crunchy coating was top-notch Japanese level... so beautifully made and utterly unctious. As too were the new Beef Shin coquette - evidence that Will and his Team and forever thinking about their creations and tinkering to upscale their endeavours. It's a all a beautiful fusion between the immense achievements of the food and the sheers unpretentiousness of it all. You can't order badly - it's all unified, coherent and underpinned by philosophy and skill. Brilliant stuff.
