Old Tree Daiwan Bee

Authentic and tasty plates. The service was quick and we had a nice time. The place was not too crowded and gave the vibe of a Taiwanese local place. I would recommend.

London 's chinatown is full of small eateries ranging from the gaudy tourist traps to small authentic gems.... We found a few positive reviews of this restaurant as authentically taiwanese and gave it a try for a Saturday Lunch. Definitely not a gem : It is an unpretentious and cramped little eatery, mostly attended by a chinese clientele, and it is true that the food is very close to what you would get from one of the cheaper taipei hakwer stalls..... Hygiene is questionable, food quality is not to write anything home about and certainly not worth the inflated prices that are asked for it. Basically what you would get at any chinese market stall in the UK for maybe £20 will cost you over £50, cash only. Not what I would call a great value for money. Will definitely not return.

While the Sichuan Beef Noodle is spicy and quite authentically tasting, its portion and price don't seem to be a fair match. In addition, this shop is cash only, so be sure to have enough cash for your meal there.

I used yo frequent this restaurant for ages. Before the pandamic. Then recently, I started to go there again. Having my great intention of taking more food photo included with the menu name in it. I was shocked by the way the waitress was so insulting, keep confronting me every few second. I almost has to call the police, they way she was so rude, harassing me. I explained to her. Saying. I like to post on Google to help others. I has been on Google for various restaurants. From top notch 5* restaurants to cafe. And I never had given any bad reviews on any restaurants. This is my 1st bad reviews on this waitress. She is so rude, harassing me every second. Even I told her, I need the menu to take with the food as to show the food I had is from the restaurant. She was nit happy with that. What is wrong with her? I hope the boss would deal with this employee before she ruined the whole restaurant business. I never knew, this cafe/ restaurant has such a low rating. Until now when I start to search from other customer's review. Sorry to say, this restaurant is not worth to go. As just round the corner. Is the C R restaurant where they has been around for decades. And they have better quality food, great service at C R

This is an awful awful restaurant. I was tempted to eat here on the basis of Taiwanese cuisine blah blah blah. Taiwanese street food blah blah blah. Soho now has regional Chinese cuisine blah blah blah. There were so many signs this is an awful place but I ignored all of them: They don’t serve beer but it is a Chinese Taiwan restaurant ?! They don’t have an alcohol license. Were they turned down I wonder ? They don’t take cash, but we have just been through a pandemic and nobody wants cash in Soho. They don’t show customers if they have a toilet. When you do eventually find it with the marker written hand notes, you walk though the sweatshop that is their kitchen and eventually the broom cupboard. This is an absolute hole and nobody in this right mind would ever want to eat here. Take a look at the owner and his staff and it will all make sense. Just never ever waste your money by eating here. Oh, and a word or two about the food. The dumplings were godawful tasteless and rubbery. The “Taiwanese street food beef noodle soup” was watery and disgusting. Get the message?
