I've been to Plum Valley and Tao Tao Ju in the last six months. I would say Plum Valley is a bit better for food but the service is perfunctory and they get very keen about you leaving when they have a queue of people. At Tao Tao Ju the food was a bit more hit and miss (especially the dim sum) but the service was much better. Both do crispy duck. Both are at the ?10 per main level. I wouldn't say either is a standout recommendation, but the food was decent.


The place I want to try is Xu on Rupert Street, which is Taiwanese food - so no crispy duck - and more pricey, but someone I work with raves about it.

It depends where the good chefs are working, and they do move. The chefs employ all the kitchen staff (possibly the waiters too?). When they have a disagreement with the restaurant owner or get poached, then suddenly the quality changes overnight. So to an extent you need to be wary of older reviews, and judge based on what you see on the day.
