Food was very good (no photo of the king prawn ho fun). But we were rushing at the end to catch our train and I got suckered into adding an additional tip on top of the already applied 12.5% service charge on the bill (which I didn’t notice and now I think the server was deliberately blocking that bit of the bill with her finger while prompting me for a tip on the card machine). That strikes me as a big sneaky and left a bit of a bad vibe afterwards. But the food was good. I’ll be more careful about checking the bill next time. At least we caught our train ok.

The Sichuans seem to have a thing about naming after their food-related creations after old ladies. first the ma po tofu, now the Sichuan PoPo.
Were the noodles ma, i.e. numbing?
I couldn’t make out any particular ma la in the noodles. The spicy oil in the king oyster noodle dish was very flavourful. And the chilli oil in the wontons was very good as well. Maybe I’m not the best judge of Sichuan flavours 
Agreed. But then it does seem to be rarity to come across a London restaurant not adding a service charge
I meant to say bit sneaky, not big sneaky!
I suppose I took my eye off the ball, because I was worried about missing our train back to the south coast.
Those dry-fried green beans look righteous!
