Robert's review of Haozhan

First time I have eaten in Gerard St for decades and what a very pleasant surprise! The room is very narrow but provided the quota of American tourists is low, just about avoids feeling cramped. The sevice is very efficient, quick, smiley and knowledgable. There house rose was perfectly drinkable, not a big wine list to chose from but reasonably priced and a thoughtful selection. The food menu has, a befits the background of the two main chefs, a Kakassan feel to it and it dosesnt disappoint. Crispy duck with pancakes was prefect, wafer thin pancakes and duck that was crispy without being dried out. Soft shell crab was fantastic. Signature dish of Champagne cod was spectacularly good, big thick juicy bit of cod, perfectly cooked.

Will definately be going back, highly recommend it to anyone.
