Delicious dim sum : soft and fresh. The other dishes are also very nice, especially the egg fried rice and deep fried chicken . Best in Chinatown so far.

Paola Mello

Come here very often for the classic pork and steamed prawn dumplings - goes very well with Tiger Beer . Service and atmosphere are very, very poor though.

Anna Kelišová

The best of dumplings & perfect stone bowl full of premium seafood & silken tofu ????????

Ayshea H

Very good dumplings ! The soup ones and prawn are my favourite

Matteo Fogli

Homemade dumplings , varied Chinese cooking. First time here but everything I tried was good and tasted genuine

James Whatley

Been here a couple of times now and it's definitely one of the better restaurants in China Town . Enjoy!

Michelle Wiles

I don’t know why this place doesn’t have a 9 rating. Dim sum is excellent

Jim Banks

Not the cheapest Chinese restaurant , but the food was top notch, service was really good and had a nice vibe. Busy though, so expect to wait

Sarah

Quality has been fluctuating for a bit recently but the food is good. Perk: open till 3am!

Nicola DL

Despite the other opinions, the food was good and standard with other prices around China Town (can't compare with All you can eat Menus)

Alexandra

Try a wide range of Xiao Long Bao - exceptionally tasty at this spot. Warning: avoid spicy pork Xiao Long Bao unless you wanna burn.????????????

Gaby Zd

Absolutely the best place to go for dim sum ! Steamed prawn ones are all time favourites.

Elias Gerstmayr

Great dumplings , also try the choisum in garlic sauce and the spicy pork .

Ana Lara

The dumplings with soup inside are great!! Totally an experience to eat them properly!

Benni Prinz

I am shocked about the comments below... Food was excellent and the service was fine. Soup dumplings are highly recommended.

George

Fantastic place for dim sum . The soup filled dumplings are incredible!

Lisa Nuske

Spicy pork soup dumplings were delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

David Chow

The veggie noodles were very good actually

Guy Corbet

Wonderful place to breeze the hours away, dipping into dim sum .

Huss Zulkifli

Good dumpling place eat. Clean , relax. Unfortunately, the staff are mostly temperamental. Surprisingly, even to asians. Which is quite sad really. Otherwise, an excellent place.

Cat Giger

Siu Leung bao are a specialty here so try a variety. I tend to have the pork and crab dumplings .

Steven Kerr

This is defiantly my spot to go to with all the different choices in Chinese town . Food is was high priced but went down a treat.

Paula PV

I have no idea why This place poorly ranked! The dumplings are amazing!!!

Quin R

Dumplings were good. Focus on the ones with liquid inside.

eda b

Seafood dumplings are the best ones I've eaten so far

Elias Gerstmayr

Best dumplings in china town . Service staff is very slow though.

Anna Chuchmek

Good, but cant say exceptional. Take dumplings !

Afro lynne

Food was authentic and better than I anticipated. Service was just ok, we went there for a late dinner and felt rushed by by the server

Helen Merekat

Singapore curry was drenched with chilli , dumplings are good! They have added service to the bill, however service is not the best...

Kazz C

Best dumplings in London. Classic pork xiao lung bao are the best.

Johannes Driessen

Open late . Deep fried chicken was too greasy but the dumpling platter was great

Thierry Bourret

Great food but you need to work hard at getting staff attention

Jenny BP

Best soup dumplings (siu loung bao ) in London, but the indifferent service nearly ruins the experience. Try the pork ones for good value .

Iain Dendle

Steamed prawn dumpling are delicious.

Franz Vitulli

The food was good, but the service was quite poor actually - waiting staff didn't know what they were bringing to the table therefore some of us weren't able to recognise their dish of choice.

Artur Fie

Good food but staff need some more training and when we were in the place there was something leaking from the ceiling... Avoid duck soup which contains meat with small bones.

Tee

Great dim sum , but only during lunch . Dinner menu is avoidable.

Jan

Try the soup dumplings !

Laura Chuck

Dumplings are really nice, but some serious staff training is needed in relation to service, it's rubbish!

Sabrina T

Just beautiful love it here waiters are polite

Angela Fllt

Try the dim sum , they're delish and home made !

Emilio Lara

Dumplings are as good as in Shanghai... Go for the soup dumplings . Waiters are nice but as in china, service is just average

Thao T. Luu

Good xiao long bao .

Herry Lawford

Actually the dumplings are great if not as good as Taipei. Try the taro pastry too!

KucingComel

Dumplings and other dim sum items are just average. But the BBQ pork buns are good.

Michelle Gambier

Great service and open until 3am

Dimos

Absolutely disappointing food. The quality is really bad. Probably the worst dim sum i have ever had. Not even worth the money that we spent!

Tiffany Lam

the Peking duck is a huge disappointment. the skin is not crispy enough at all. looks the same as normal roasted duck . the waiter doesn't even know how to slice the duck properly!

Ricardo Soares

Meat platter!!

It may not be as groundbreaking as it thinks – they need to work on staff training in a big way – but Dumplings ’ Legend offers a fresh approach for Chinatown. We gave it 3 stars. Read more
