    Really good but maybe a little overkill with the MSG / salt.

    The double-cooked pork belly doesn't look like the photo and actually is cooked in exactly the same way as other dry pot dishes. Portions are large so we overdid it with our order. It was very tasty though:)

    Food was good and arrived in good time, service was efficient. However the menu does not specify which dishes contain nuts and therefore the main dish arrived with peanuts on it which I could not eat due to an allergy, I would suggest updating the menu or checking for allergies in advance (this is something that is normally integrated into most restaurants operations now so I didn't think to check - lesson learned!). To their credit - the cost of the dish was removed from the bill so it was resolved well.

    We absolutely LOVE Kaki. It is by far the best Chinese food we've had in London. I highly recommend the dry pot beef, the crispy chicken, and the hand made dumplings. Cant wait to return.

    Food was so so, a bit over priced, about £30 pp, not really worth the money.

    Made a Chinese New Year’s Eve booking. Restaurant had over booked online and a 7:30 booking turned in a 9:30 ‘if you are lucky’ seating. Suffice to say we didn’t wait around. All round mess...

    This is my favourite Sichuan restaurant in London (in fact my favourite outside China). All my most loved dishes are absolutely spot on - wildly authentic and bursting with flavour. It's about a balance of spices and not just a crude blast of chili. Helpings are generous and very good value. Top hits - cold chili chicken (kou shui ji), soft-shell crab and twice-cooked pork. It's off the beaten track, so not very full at lunchtime, but full of happy Chinese diners in the evening.

    Not much ambiance inside and very minimal service but someone was constantly watching our table? But never came to ask if we needed anything even though we clearly had empty glasses etc. food came out at different times but was good. Had High expectations as it looks lovely from the canal but unfortunately those weren’t quite met. Overall fine though.
