Crazy Bear (26-28 Whitfield Street, London, W1T 2RG)

I've been to Crazy Bear a few times, and had a pretty consistent experience, that is really great food but so so service.

The last visit we shared some gorgeous dim sum to start, then shared some OK pad thai alongside a amazingly good green curry (yes, we were feeling rather unadventurous that day I'll admit!). However I should mention the rather strange table set up, whereby they have permanently fixed lamps right in the middle of the tables making sharing or reaching food rather difficult! I get quirky design, but not at the expense of the overall dining experience.

Cha Cha Moon (15-21 Ganton Street, London, W1F 9BN)

Our dinner at Cha Cha Moon dinner started rather bizarrely when, despite the restaurant being empty, we were made to move seats to sit right under the freezing air conditioning and beside another pair of diners.

After moving to a warmer zone, we ordered. My friend asked for some udon noodles to be substituted for ramen, which was ‘absolutely impossible’, but no explanation as to why!

Our starters were perfectly fine, but our main courses were awful. My single dish consisted of searing hot fishcakes, slightly congealed cold noodles (but which had been previously burnt!!), greasy room-temp tofu and luke-warm prawns. My friends was more of the same, with fairly ‘gloopy’ drenched udon noodles drenched in the saltiest sauce ever.

There also seemed to be an extraordinary high number of small midgey like flies in the actual restaurant (though I do concede it may be just be the time of year)!!

Even though we had voiced our displeasure, we were offered no compensation and the waitress actually seemed offended when we didn't leave a tip.

The decor and the food concept is great, the execution was pretty awful! In an area with such a fantastic array of inexpensive quality restaurants, Mr Yau should really go and sort this one out!
