Starting with its name I was curious about its origin so I did some research and learned that hikumen (Shanghainese "zakumen", lit. "Stone Warehouse Gate") is a traditional Shanghainese architectural style combining Western and Chinese elements which originated back in the 1860s. Shikumen is classified as one type of lilongresidences, sometimes translated as "lane houses" in English. Inside the decore and set up reflect those elements with interesting furnishings and fixtures featuring several seating areas which strangely enough seemed to flow quite well. The food was both interesting and flavorful. Fresh tasting and interestingly presented. Would gladly give this interesting restaurant a 5 star but unfortunately the some of waitstaff did not seem to be well informed. The first server we had not only did not understand what we were asking her (had to repeat several times), she also did not answer one of my questions and seemed to be uninterested in hearing my question (I ended up giving up asking questions at that point). Finally when we received our meals she put in an extra order of one of the foods. She then told us we requested 2 of the same food. We then explained that we did request 2 of Thea and but then changed the order and told we wanted something different. I have to say we were not surprised she messed out he order as she was challenging to communicate with and didn't really respond to our inquiries. I'm assuming she's from a foreign country and may be new so we didn't make a big deal about. Needless to say after that incident we were assigned a new server who did a better job but still, like the first, was not well versed on the specifics of the menu, however he did ask a coworker to get us an answer so I'll give him an A for effort on that. We did enjoy the deboning and portioning of my Roasted Chilean Seabass performed by our second server. Informative and very entertaining. A+ to him on that. All in all I'd definitely return as there were several other interesting options I would love to try. Their dim sum an tradition and specialty will be something I'll try next time I'm in London. Until then Cheers to coming back for another tasteful adventure
