In the heart of London’s always-buzzing SoHo neighborhood, XU serves deliciously inventive Taiwanese cuisine. Inspired by 1930s Taipei, the chic, dimly lit space boasts a fun, almost mysterious tea-room atmosphere, perfect for a fun night out with friends.

Scoot onto the sea foam cushion and move the candle close to glimpse the menu of tasty cocktails. The Tamshui, with Asian pear, butter, Chinese Basil, and champagne is the perfect way to kick off the dining experience.

For appetizers, go ahead and try to tell us these 3 items don’t sound friggin’ fantastic:

• Xian Bing: Pan Fried Aged Pork Pancake, Vinegar & Chilli Oil, £6
  Montgomery Cheese & Spring Onion
• Taro Dumplings served with Kow Choi Chilli Dressing
• Beef Pancake: Short Rib & Bone Marrow with Pickles, Spring Onion, Potato Crumb & Pancakes

Lucky for all of us, they just as tasty as they sound. For mains, the Shou Pa Marinated Chicken and the Chili Egg Drop Crab are two must orders.

Next time you’re out in London with friends, book a table at this delicious and playfully inventive eatery and thank us later!
