    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.

    Delicious is the 1st word I'd use to describe Shu Restaurant. We went for the All You Can Eat YumCha and weren't disappointed. We were originally given 1 of each of the dishes per person and it was all so tasty! Once we had worked our way through the menu we could then order our favourites or the whole lot again if you like. 2 rounds was plenty for a big eater. I was left full and have a healthy appetite. The service was great, the atmosphere was quiet and the greenery was a nice touch indoors. Would highly recommend, especially if you've got one of those friends that is a vegan and needs special attention when they go out.
