Reviews


A recent review of a restaurant in London paints a negative picture of the overall experience. The reviewer had their booking cancelled last minute on New Year's Eve due to a pricey party taking place, which caused a lot of confusion and frustration. The interior decor didn't match the online photos and the menu was lacking in variety, with subpar food quality and service. Hygiene issues in the restroom also added to the disappointment. On the other hand, there were some positive reviews highlighting the beautiful view of the River Thames and a delicious Peking duck dish. The staff was attentive and the portions were generous, with a wide variety of dishes available at reasonable prices. Despite the mixed reviews, the restaurant seems to have potential for improvement in certain areas, on average, Bao Fa Garden (FKA Zen China) has been rated as 3.6.
