Smoking Goat Shoreditch

1. Absolutely divine. It’s worth the wait. Our server, Maddy, took us through a Rollercoaster of flavors. We had never been before and decided to go with everything she recommended, and let me just say, she delivered.

   Fish Sauce Wings were phenomenally crispy. The sauce was flavorful, slightly sweet with a pleasant heat. Price is per wing.

   Pork belly skewer. Very light and delicate despite it being so fatty. Texture was on point. Crisp outside, firm inside. Pork really shines through on this one.

   Squid and duck egg. Pretty sure the duck egg ended up on our corn dish but we can forgive them for that one. This one is spicy but balanced. So delightful bright. The squid is firm but not rubbery. The sauce is absolute gold.

   Corn salad. This one lit my mouth on fire. Pretty dang spicy. But so delicious. Eat it slowly and you’ll be fine. This spice builds but it’s manageable.

   Lardo fried rice. This guy saved my life. I was definitely hurting from the spice of the previous dishes by the time this beauty showed up. I used this to soak up the remainder of the sauces left from the other dishes and it was so perfect. The rice itself had delightful texture and warm flavor. Crispy bits contrasted against fluffy flavorful rice.

   Get yourself some Cosmic Slop. That will round out your meal and keep you from sweating the spice too much.

   Highly recommend!

2. Have been here a few times over the years and the food is always as great as ever! Could not recommend this place more, dishes are super flavoursome and the vibe overall is great!

3. Strong and bold flavours on all dishes and meats were crispy which went well with rice. Peach salad with mint leaves was a great combination of sweet and tangy. Restaurant gets really busy so don’t expect to hear conversation at your table and the tables are in close proximity to each other so not much privacy.

   Service is slow and requires flagging staff numerous times because some purposely ignore you. Expensive dishes for what it is.

4. Not sure what the hype is, extremely disappointed. Flavours were too overpowering, everything was just too sour/ salty. Ordered the fish sauce wings, all I could eat was the batter and barely any meat. The fried egg noodle was quite interesting with a mix of texture, but way too greasy and nothing special about the flavours.

5. Great food and top notch cocktails! Madi as a server was incredible. Looked after us so well. She was the marvel hero in our magnificent seven dishes! Brilliant stuff.
