    We always have an amazing food and drinks experience every time we visit, this time featuring the delicious wines of Xiaopu. I wish I could pick a favourite dish but honestly each one was unique and so delicious. Thank you!

    I love SHU. I have been there for the degustation menu and this last Saturday a group of 7 of us went for the bottomless Yum Cha. The food was delicious, some more than others, with each of us having our favourites which we reordered a number of times. The service was prompt and unobtrusive. If you want vegan fine dining with a funky ambiance this is the place.

    The food is both a sensation on the eyes and in the mouth. It looks beautiful and is presented so creatively. Each ingredient on the plate is there for a purpose and each complements the other. The staff are friendly and know the food well.
