Baba Tang 鄧廚小館 - Chinese Restaurant, Kings Cross — Restaurant in London

My partner and I decided to try this because of the amazing reviews but were pretty disappointed. The food was alright, not amazing. The "spicy" tofu barely had any heat, the duck noodles were meh - everything was kind of meh. There is definitely better Cantonese in London. To add insult to injury I spent the entire evening sick after eating here. We informed the staff that I have a shellfish allergy and asked about how everything was prepared. Usually restaurants offer guidance on what is cooked in what oils etc. so we can make informed decisions. Our first clue should have been that the server just brushed us off - we were ordering chicken, duck, veggies, and tofu, no shellfish. I tried to push about how it was prepared but was waved off. We should have left then, honestly. That part is on us. The food wasn't good enough to get this sick over. Note to the restaurant: How you prepare your food is just as important as what is obviously in it. Also, not all allergies result in anaphylaxis (mine is severe gastrointestinal distress), but had this been someone with anaphylaxis it could have been so much worse. Don't wave your...

Dim sum is great, but the vegetable dish is not authentic at all. 13.8£ + 10% for monks vegetable I expected at least some fermented tofu and some glasses noodle.. or fuchuk (bean curd skin) turns out it’s just mainly broccoli and carrot in soy sauce.

When I pointed out this to the lady boss, she was defensive saying she “saw” in the kitchen, the chef added fermented tofu. I asked her to look at the dish, and it’s just soy sauce. It’s impossible as she’s front of house. I said I’m ok if she uses more fermented tofu. she just said it’s going to be salty if she adds the fermented tofu. I said ok. I expected her to change the dish or something…

Later in the kitchen I heard, she asked the chef if she did put fermented tofu… need I say more? She fry the same vege with more fermented bean curd (but initially it won’t be filled with soy sauce!!!!) so the vege ended up being overcook..

It would be nice if she could offer to swap for a dish or something . And the water is never refilled…

They also charged up £0.50 + 10% service for a glasses of...

Have heard good stuff about this place , that it's as good as dim sum duck. So we tried it and was disappointed. The prawns in the cheung fun were over cooked and chewy. The fried dim sum were over fried and chewy. Best thing was the squid cakes. We then ordered more dim sum so had the har ga which was raw. They did see this and swiftly took 9t away and replaced it but I had bit into it . Anyway you think bec of them serving something raw they will at least take some money off but they didn't. We ended up paying £70 for 9 dim sum, a tea and a soft drink. Thought it was expensive for bad dim sum. I also found the staff not v friendly and just felt so disappointed. We didn't complain as didn't want to ruin the day and make our day horrible so left it. I'm sorry to say I won't be going back for dim sum.. maybe the dinner menu is better? And i feel bad in leaving a bad review on a small business. I will stick to dim sum duck, the service there is rude but at least the...
