Visited The Ravenous Taotie for lunch, a cozy spot with a decor of figurines and a server in cosplay, enhancing the quirky atmosphere. The place is small and fills up quickly, so arriving early helped us get a seat without a reservation. It's a partial service restaurant where you write your order on paper and fetch your own containers for leftovers. We ordered the braised spare ribs with egg noodles and a braised beef rice combo. Both dishes arrived quickly, within 10-15 minutes, and were packed with lots of tender, flavorful meat. The portions were generous for the price, offering great value. They have various spice levels; I chose less spicy, but options are available for more heat. The food was authentic and satisfying, leaving us with plenty of leftovers. Overall, The Ravenous Taotie is a great, affordable spot for casual dining. Definitely worth a return visit to explore more dishes. Tip: Consider booking ahead for dinner, as it seems to get busy!

Tonight, I wanted some Chinese food, so I found a place in west London. The little eatery is called The Ravenous Taotie 川铺.I noticed something peculiar right off the bat. This place was full of cosplay figurines, and one of the servers was dressed up in a cosplay costume.When ordering, be careful. Some dishes are served cold.I began my dinner with ice jelly. This was strange but good. In a bowl, there were blobs of jelly completely transparent. It came with four toppings. These included chopped peanuts, another type of sliced nut, dried berries, and something I’ve never seen before (they looked like Flinstone vitamins).I chose a hot pot in a sesame sauce for my main. They let me choose up to five ingredients. I went with black fungus, fried tofu, crab sticks, a lobster roll, and a fried gluten ball.Since my appetite was still not quenched, I ordered one more dish. This was their Sichuan Ground Pork Dried. It awesomely had a quail egg, noodles, marinated ground pork, scallions, chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, and lime juice. The only thing I would change are the cold bean sprouts and lime juice.This dinner was superb! All I can say is that I want to go back.

Enjoyed a delicious bowl of egg noodles with ground pork. Also known as Dan-dan noodles under the szechuan province food origins.Refreshing balanced flavour. Will be back to try additional plates

It's not bad, the owner and all the people who work there are very nice. Love the atmosphere and what they did to the place. However, the food is kinda overrated, still

Best value and amazing taste with no artificial flavors. Anime waifu figures on display for quite the unique atmosphere!
3.5 star on food, Feels like 2010s ChengDuXiaoChi(not in Sichuan of course). Uncle Wang gang's video might helpful for chef.

Unapologetically Chinese restaurant with delicious food with good portions.They don't skip on the spice level but you can choose which level you want. I've ordered multiple dishes but the standout for me is the dandan noodles with no broth, it's called Sichuan Ground Pork Noodles (Dried) on the menu. The noodles are perfectly chewy with a good accompanying sauce. Other tasty items I've ordered include hot pot with sesame sauce, stewed chicken and mushroom noodles, ice jelly and spicy beef tripe.When you walk in you're greeted in Chinese but English is also an option. The place is decorated with anime and Asian memorabilia. And the floors have that signature Chinese restaurant build-up grease feeling.If you pay cash, there's a discount.
