Description of XO
Coming from the term meaning "highly desirable" (and also known as a beloved Hong Kong chilli sauce), XO fits right in with the fashionable area of Belsize Park in North London. Going against the grain of traditional Chinese/Asian establishments, XO offers pretty plates of fusion food, combining Western and Eastern palates with wild abandon. Start decadently with dim sum of peking duck and foie gras dumplings or a range of sushi. Mains include black cod with miso, or the "little black dress" of Asian cuisine. Be sure to check out their extensive cocktail list, including pomegranate martini.

Additional information for XO
XO's private dining room would suit a sophisticated group of up to 20 people perfectly, all of which can be seated at one table. A dedicated kitchen will see to your every need, be it menu items or perhaps even a bespoke party plan.

XO was brilliant as always, recommend to anyone. Now a set menu but selection is diverse and generally what i woul have chosen anyway.

IC reviewed XO on 29/12/2008

XO is nice restaurant to go but if it wasn't 50% off it would be a bit too expensive.

SG reviewed XO on 29/12/2008

We enjoyed a great meal at XO where the food is always excellent, tasty and beautifully presented. a lovely atmosphere in a local setting, perfect for anything from a dinner for 2 to larger groups. we will be back. The black cod is amazing and the sushi superb. I also highly rate the duck salad which I shared with a friend as a starter.

Amazing 50% deal of the best Asian food in town.

KH reviewed XO on 27/12/2008

Excellent food, great ambiance - perfect for a West End style night out in our local neighbourhood. Very expensive if the 50%offer didn't apply but we felt like we had a special treat for a decent price

My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at XO. The food and service were just excellent. However, without the special
offer we found it very expensive. i.e. cositng £40.- plus per
person. The Ambience is basic and somewhat classroom look. For sure I would recommend it to my friends.

Uber cool pan-asian food in belsize park, once you have found it. Food was awesome, especially lychee and chicken green curry, miso black cod and sorbet selection. Portions are actually quite huge so take a friend or two to share with!
The toilets are definately worth a trip downstairs. With 50% off its good value for money for what you get and very very yum!

Good vibrant atmosphere. Just what we were looking for to enjoy an evening out with friends. The Cod with great!

VA reviewed XO on 27/12/2008

We ate at XO on the toptable offer and we were not disappointed. It was possibly the best fusion food we have had and it was very reasonably priced too (even without the toptable offer). The service was friendly and the ambience was suitable for an informal dining experience for friends. The cocktails are recommended. We shall be definitely returning, despite not being fanatical about fusion food!

JS reviewed XO on 29/12/2008

Nice restaurant - food was of a high standard generally, but was happy that we were getting the 50% off deal with Toptable. Portion sizes generally quite small.....but satisfying.

TK reviewed XO on 23/12/2008

XO restaurant: Dim sum was disappointment but tempura and sashimi starter were good. Steamed seabass was beautiful. We'll go back again.

Anthony blake reviewed XO on 23/12/2008

excellent , well presented food with good- sized portions.

The Top Table offer make sit very good value for money would certainly recommend to anyone looking for something slightly different

An excellent neighbourhood restaurant. Consistently good food with friendly staff and axcellent cocktails

Neil Treadaway reviewed XO on 29/12/2008

Good value with Top Table Offer. Wine was "off" but they changed no problem but had to remind them to remove from bill at the end. Bar area and toilets lovely. Paper table clothes could have been changed at end of meal as rather dirty. Ginger cheesecake was lovely....

GR reviewed XO on 23/12/2008

Great dinner - outstanding value with 50% off. Was still not cheap - as we splashed out on the menu, but the offer could definately make it a very reasonable and the highest quality dinner. Amazing food. Service was quick, but a bit unprofessional (the waitress spilt most drinks while bringing them to the table) but very friendly. Toilets were confusing - went down one set of stairs and up another....but worth it for the meal! can't wait to eat there again

LG reviewed XO on 04/01/2009

The service was a little slow and the toilets weren't particularly clean. The food was really good, however way over priced if it wasn't for toptable!
