Square Meal Review of Goldfish City ?

The dark-toned, sophisticated sibling of Goldfish in Hampstead is touting a new way with Chinese cuisine that incorporates influences from other parts of Asia but keeps the emphasis on ‘amazingly fresh’ ingredients. At lunchtime, Chinese-style ‘bento sets’ of crispy chilli beef & the like vie with trolleys of steamed dim sum & noodle plates, while the full menu also blends the traditional & the eclectic: expect deep-fried prawns in wasabi & avocado dressing, & mocha ribs with almond flakes alongside steamed sea bas with ginger & soy, or ma-po beancurd with chilli. The restaurant is spread across two levels, but in the evening the culinary fireworks are confined to the ground floor, with karaoke & cocktails in the basement.

    From the moment we entered the restaurant we felt welcomed and looked after. The food was amazingly fresh and cooked to perfection (the lobster was still warm and floppy as it came out of the shell), and if you’re in need of a little entertainment, the downstairs bar and restaurant has a top of the range karaoke system – what more could a girl want?!

    On the site of a former Sushi joint (RIP), welcome newcomer Goldfish steps in to the City, injecting a dose of ordinary, down-to-earth & long awaited Chinese cookery. Nothing like the posh, gussied up versions in the Square Mile that can charge £18 for a main course that you'd be hard pushed to find for more than £4 in a takeaway. Main courses at Goldfish are averagely about £7-8, unless you are being very flash and opting for the £38 Lobster Noodles, of course. (Worth every penny by the way)

    The decor isn't flash in anyway, this is your standard run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant where service is swift and the food is good. Nothing more, nothing less. Admittedly, the prices are a little hiked, no doubt to accommodate the astronomical rents of this part of town, but still very nice. They also do great Dim-Sum and you can get everything as takeaway too. Really very handy in my opinion and I've already made several trips there both to sit and eat and also to grab a little ‘desk-lunch’ too.
