Grin and Beer It in Islington

The food service or atmosphere isn’t hwy you go. You go cause it’s the old China. Odd, weird, fun, different and local.

The atmosphere and the staff was very nice and kind I like the food it was very delicious we will visit again💜

One of my favorite takeaways in London. Their signature hand pulled noodles and their side dish of the brown mushroom/fungus was the perfect cozy meal. I got it delivered, so no experience with the service or atmosphere, but they packed the noodles thoroughly so there wasn't any leakage.

I came twice here in less than an hour! The first time it was early in the morning so only sushi was available however the spicy Californian roll wasn't on the shelf, but after asking them they freshly made it right in front of me and it was on the best sushi I've ever had - incredibly fresh and the price is very good too. The second time I went was at lunch and after seeing that their chicken katsu curry was popular I decided to buy it. Unfortunately I didn't realise that it was made using beef stock because it was only mentioned in small writing outside the shop on a foldable blackboard. As I don't eat beef I asked the owner and he was very helpful, apologising for it and giving me a replacement of a chicken teriyaki which is not made from beef stock. Thank you for the excellent food and customer service. We will definitely come again!

I lived and worked in China for three years and feel I can claim to have a reasonably extensive experience of Chinese food. This restaurant is the first that I have eaten in outside of China that comes close to delicious authentic Chinese cuisine, it is simply brilliant. The premises is modest but correct and the atmosphere nothing extraordinary......but it is the food that is special.
