Hausu — Restaurant in London

We were sadly very unimpressed.

We waited about 20 mins to be offered a drink which got us of to a bad start & I don't mean to moan, so please take the below constructively rather than just criticism as I know this a relatively new place.

Dads Broth - was just ok. Very oily. Oysters - lacked any zing or citrus or saltlyness Scallop & prawn toast - really nicely made but needed salt / more flavour. Lamb belly - lamb was nicely cooked, chilli sauce was v.bland. Cod cheeks with Mojo verde - mojo verde was tasteless, it had no flavour other than blended leaves. It was very mild with no garlic or seasoning Sichaun pork - unbelievably sweet. I couldn't taste any sichaun tang or heat even when 'looking for it'. Miso leeks - these were delicious. Best dish we had Roast potatoes & confit garlic - the spuds were hard and not properly cooked, so they just crumbled. 'Confit garlic' sauce resembled a slightly garlic flavoured mayo.

For £130 for a meal it was disappointing. Everything needed seasoning.

The venue is also beautiful but we won't be...

the best meal I have had in London in a very long time. It was almost flawless. Beautiful space with great music. We were made welcome immediately by a professional and super nice waiter. We were lucky enough to have a counter seat watching the kitchen brigade operating like poetry in mission led by a very focused and inspiring head chef. Then we had incredible dish after incredible dish, accompanied by amazing wine by the glass. Each plate was stunning, from the best beef tartare I’ve had in my life, to a crab crumpet, to Ling, Lamb, chocolate delice and choux buns. The reason I'm not focusing on describing what we had in detail is because the menu changes regularly. I have absolute faith that whatever is on the menu will be superbly executed, imaginative and bloody lovely. As soon as I finish this review I’m rebooking and taking all my friends. Truly one of the best London...

We came for Saturday lunch and really enjoyed the food and overall vibe. Between the two of us, we shared the scallop and prawn toast (nice crunch and flavour), grilled scallop with xo cream (nicely cooked and good flavour), yellow peaches, mozzarella, basil (fresh), tomatoes, artichoke with green garlic (also nice and seasonal and perfect for a summer day), lemon butter noodles (simple but really tasty), lamb with green hot sauce (the sauce wasn’t spicy - it was more like a salsa verde but it was still nice, just not what I expected based on the “hot” description) and side of potatoes (can't go wrong) and the strawberry eclair (the cream and filling were a bit too sweet for me). The service was helpful and friendly. The only downside, which was outside the restaurant’s control, was a really loud group nearby and with the acoustics, it felt like we had to shout to...
