🏠 The Old Street Chinese Restaurant, Basement And Ground Floor Kersella House, 184-186 Old Street, EC1V 9FR
Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
The Old Street Chinese Restaurant is like that reliable friend who always shows up on time with takeout. With a 5/5 hygiene rating but a rather average 3.8 Google score, you're not about to win any culinary awards here, but you will get fed. The standout dish seems to be the beef noodles, which one reviewer can’t stop raving about — high praise, given the plethora of average Chinese joints out there.
The atmosphere is breezy, the staff are friendly, and it’s clean — which is more than you can say for most Chinese restaurants in town. However, it’s also not going to set your taste buds on fire. If you want a chill spot to grab some decent food without any fuss, this is your place. Just don’t expect any Michelin stars; think more ‘pub grub’ but with chopsticks.
"Absolutely delicious and very affordable."
"Tables were nicely spaced out, the whole place was clear."
"Packed full of flavour and reasonably priced."
