Old Tree Daiwan Bee in City of London

Today - 26/2/2022 - Saturday. I went to this restaurant to have oyster omelette on my own. Having good intentions of taking some photos to show it to my friends to recommend them to this restaurant and to post on here as well for helping others as well. I was was shocked & shaken by this very bad customer service experience. I never had in my life. I am 65 years old I was taking the photographs of the food that has been served out. With placing the menu with the restaurant's name on, this girl came over to me in a very rude manner, not once, but every few seconds to harassing me of taking the photo. I explained to her that by my taking the food photo is for recommendation as she can Google search me of all the food reviews I had made over the past years. She refused to listen. And continue to be very abrupt, rude. I demand to speak to the restaurant owner. She refused & said boss in not in. Her attitude was so intimidating until I qanted to call the police. I left with no choice. I had to take a photo of her for my own security purpose. Sorry to say. I need to post her photo on here. In hope, the owner should looks into this matter on her attitude and her customer service before she ruins the whole business. I don't recommend this restaurant anyone and definitely not going on your own. Who knows. One day, this crazy girl would beat up a customer. Or spit saliva on customer's food. Beware. Completely no trust at ALL. I guess, I am not the only one who has given bad reviews to this restaurant. Many has been experiencing bad customer service etc. 👎👎👎👎👎

The staff are very nice. They have such a nice interior to make it feel like my adventures in Taiwan. I come here often when I am in Chinatown. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Great place. One of London's hidden gems. Delightful Taiwanese cuisine. Can be a little cosy. Worth a visit. Cash only!

Good fried chicken Normal beef noodles Not so good Scallion pancakes

Absolutely delicious spicy Taiwanese beef noodle in soup. It was quite spicy but tolerable. The pork was super tender and full of flavour. The soup was quite oily but I did not mind that. The place is cash only.

Perfect hole in the hole restaurantDefinitely try their intestine broth - it's very meaty and spicy!The only downside is the cramped space, people next to us had to move their seats and table to let us out

I'm so glad my friend recommended this restaurant to us. It's a small restaurant but produces highly flavourful, good quality Taiwanese dishes. We had the salt and pepper porkchop rice (I loved the pork and mushroom sauce over the rice), sweet and tangy ribs (a must try), Szechuan stew of pork intestines and stomach (seriously tasty - and no offal aroma), the fried French beans (I have never eaten a tastier vegetable - the chilli, garlic, shrimp mix it's stirfried in is delectable), Taiwanese sausage (I was genuinely not expecting to like this THIS much), and spring onion pancakes (I loved these). I'll definitely be back. My only criticism would be that the dish sizes are a little small, but perhaps I'm used to family style dining whereas this place serves individual portion sizes. Next time I'll try the dandan noodles and the Taiwanese beef Noodle soup with tendons.

really good food! the iced plum green tea was a little bit sour for my taste but otherwise it was all lovely

Had a great time here! Most dishes were great but was a little disappointed with the oyster thin noodle soup. Will still come again for the delicious braised pork rice!

Absolutely delicious! And the owners are so nice, as the tables are outside on the pavement they take bags inside to store them safely for customers.As for payment, you can now pay by bank transfer so I was able to enjoy the meal without using cash.The food is delicious, authentic Taiwanese, with generous portions (I had to pack half of my soup as takeaway, it was so big! Very tasty heated up the followingday at home :).I'll definitely be back, want to try the dishes I saw at other tables, they all smelled so delicious too.
