One of the best dim sum places in London yet not too expensive (unlike other overrated places). They do great siu-mai, century egg congee , and shredded turnip pastry . Everything else is also yummy!
Not buggy friendly if you have a young baby as you'll have to move the buggy up through narrow flight of stairs. Dim sum is not bad but pricier than others in the area.
One of Chinatown faves for yum cha/dim sum. Great quality food and well priced in a nice atmosphere!
I can’t say service is great but one of the best crispy duck in the area. Entrance, greeting and ambience is nice
Service staff seemed lost at times. Food was just ok; found the xiao long bao skin a little too thick & roast meats nothing to rave about. Also note that they charge £1 for chopped red chili in sauce
Authentic HK dim sum . Service may be curt but that's typical in HK and food's defo better than your stock standard local (unless you live around Gerard St)
Great food & nice atmosphere!!
Good dim sum on the weekends for London
If you prefer ambience over quality of food, this is the place to be.
They don't take Amex which is bit 19th century. Good ok
dim sum is just great, I particularly like sticky rice in waterlily leafs
Old faithful - not the cheapest but always reliably good! Nice staff , not rushed.
Lots of vegetarian dim sum options
Fantastic Dim Sum . My friend from Hong Kong also rates it highly so it's definitely the real thing!
Fantastic dim sum . Be sure to get the fish congee and steamed pork buns . For dinner , get the Cantonese duck .
Big selection of food but flavours are just average. I had much better Chinese food elsewhere in Chinatown.
Worthwhile dim sum , pretty fine.
Fantastic dim sum . Love the congee .
Pescatarians beware... The fish hot pot is loaded with minced pork but no mention on the menu. Beautiful dim sum though.
It might not look like much on the outside but this place has some of the best dim sum in London
Ask for the traditional Chinese menu
This place deserves 8.0 or higher.
Singing is top notch
Great clean location . Service could be more frequent.
DimSums are amazing here...
Best dim sum in town !
Great veggie pancake rolls and crispy duck !
The fried seafood noodles (crispy ) are a good sharing choice for 2.
One of the best dim sum places in London!truly fantastic!!
Seabass is excellent
Best dim sum in china town
This is not the best dimsum in Chinatown, jeez. Food is mediocre, nothing too special. Supposedly a Chinese president has been a customer here before....
One of the hidden gem
THE best dim sum in London !
Current favourite for dim sum in London
Fried prawn dumpling tasteless
One of the best Chinese :o)
Great dim sum !
Found hair in the dish, staff didn't apologize. Then we had to ask to subtract the cost of the dish, and then the £7.00 tip!
First time dim sum - very nice
Avoid the seaweed if you like it sweet. It's very salty!
Crap Bad service expensive for stuff you can buy at your local.
Book in advance or sit in the bar area (which is quite decent) e-fu noodles are delightful! And the cheong fun is very nicely done. - Amelia Lau
recommend prawn cheung fun and jasmine tea ribs and end with mango mallow dessert - Nidhi Kay
The gardens have public toilets, illuminated fountains, and excellent outdoor seating. Perfect for people watching or spotting celebrities at Premiers - Dave Marshall
Good place for people watching and a lot of landmarks to watch and enjoy . Very lively place day and night - Hamoud AlDabbous
Most excellent and friendly place to be. Good drinks and cocktail. Excellent space and a highly social interactive atmosphere. - Riza Akgoz
