Round Square Restaurant

Unforgettable Chinese Delights with Karaoke Fun

Well, if you find yourself aimlessly wandering the intellectually perplexing streets of Islington, like a modern-day Wordsworth in search of his inner poetic muse, you simply cannot pass up a meal at the aptly titled Round Square. This epicurean haven is one of those rare establishments where more-is-more actually applies, allowing you to gorge yourself on wonderfully decadent and authentic Chinese cuisine without the guillotine of London dining prices descending upon your wallet. Trust me when I say, the signature braised pork belly has been known to make grown adults cry with its ambrosial melting tenderness — a cure-all for even the coldest of adult existential crises.

Add to this an atmosphere more inviting than a hug from your favorite grandparent, punctuated by delightful moments of barely controlled culinary chaos courtesy of a karaoke room where patrons savor their sweetest vocal dreams. The judicious yet cheeky addition of fresh morning glory with chili and ginger keeps things balanced just long enough for you to realize that food, real food with heart and soul, has just rendered you speechless. So abandon your logic, ditch those dreary self-imposed dietary constraints, and allow Round Square to remind you of what enjoyable indulgence truly means: pure happiness on a plate, bound together by the congenial efforts of their wonderfully attentive staff. A pilgrimage here feels less like a choice and more like an unavoidable destiny. — Penelope Savory
