I like New Culture because they offer reasonably priced food amidst a myriad of highly expensive restaurants. They call themselves a dumpling and noodle bar but they also serve most of the things you'd expect to find in a Chinese restaurant.
At lunch you can choose from their lesser expensive and smaller portioned menu. As expected at dinner the menu is more extensive and more expensive.
We went on a busy Tuesday night and had the Chilli Squid starter (£5.95) followed by the Beef in Black Bean (£8.90) and the Braised Beef Claypot (£8.90). The Squid was delicious, very spicy and sweet. The Beef in Black Bean was tender and sharp but to be honest I've had better at my local takeaway. The Braised Beef comes served in a Claypot with Mooli and other seasonal vegetables. The meat was tender but the broth it came in was slightly under seasoned and watery.
All in all New Culture Revolution is a good restaurant. My husband swears by it. I however think that it's nothing special, that is to say it's average food in a pleasant setting, and nothing more.
