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.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
