Yi-Ban

Want to go to Hong Kong but can’t afford the flight? Go here! Excellent and authentic Chinese food . It’s also great to see the planes landing at City airport whilst shovelling down fried rice .

Excellent weekend dim sum . Huge queues so book ahead or come as two (small tables were free). Great xiaolongbao (soup dumplings ) and steamed buns . I dread the day Time Out London finds out about this!

Good quality dim sum at reasonable prices. It's a bit of a trek from South London and feels like it's in the middle of nowhere but worth the effort and the views of the river are amazing

We have been several times for Dim Sum and it is always good. The place is very busy on Sunday's and there might be a wait to get in but, it's well worth it!!!!

Get the curry whelks, char siu buns and suckling pork . On this occasion the crystal prawn dumplings , deep fried prawn dumplings and fried beancurd wrapped prawns were disappointing.

Quality and taste of dim sum is okay, can get better one in Chinatown; but the view is superb! And it's free parking , keeps you away from the crowd in the city .

Very good hidden dim sum place! Great value for money and nice views over the docklands. Go for the Yi-ban special cheung feng and enjoy 3 different fillings: shrimps , char sieu and scallops

Really nice food. Me and my friend were 2 vegetarians/vegans in a party of 17 so were a little anxious about food mixing. The guy who served us was fantastic and made sure it was all separate ????

Strange to say but I've been going to Yi Ban for 17 years - still my favourite dim sum in London. Love the Shanghai dumplings !

A firm fave... Very busy on a Sunday, arrive for first sitting - around 11am or later at 1/ 2pm or you will be waiting a while for a table! Saturdays are less busy! Live music on Fri/ Sat evenings

Right next to London City Airport . Food is good and value for money . On a sunny day the views are great!

Hidden gem ! You won't tell from the look of the building. Wait until you get inside and taste the dim sum !

It's so busy at weekends, no booking but may have to wait . Good parking in site. Great views , superb food Recommended

Best Chinese food in London - ask for the Chinese/Vietnamese menu though, not the English one.

Good restaurant in the docks, even if one of the few in the vicinity. Good food and service.

Proper Chinese. An oasis of good food for anyone staying around Excel

Good range of Chinese cuisine , good views across to London City Airport

Excellent dim sum and excellent service despite being really busy Chinese New Year 's Day.

the set-menus are great value - superb food

I enjoyed the cocktails , especially the Plum wine one

Great food! It's a little out of the way but worth the trip!!

Food was alright. So crowded on the weekends. Service was basically non-existent, but almost all chinese restaurants are like that. Good luck getting a drink at the bar haha

Delicious food, great service.

It's a shame that they don't accept Credit card using signature when you are an oversea traveler

Food isn't as good as Saikei, great views of City Airport though

Dim sum is nice!

Great dim sum spread

Great food

Their dim sum seems not as good as two years ago

Enjoy dim sum while watching planes in London City Airport

Go for Dim Sum with a group of friends for brunch on the weekends.

Food and view

Amazing dimsum . :-) Try to find the secret karaoke room !

Not sure if it was because it was a Sunday and the last time I can here it was a weekday but today was just awful. The service was slow, the staff painfully rude, and the food was average.

Great food and fast service

Not sure why they don’t accept paywave even their machine do...for some lousy reason

Good Chinese food

Ask for the Chinese menu - that's where the real gems are!

Good place but loud !

Find the secret karaoke room !

Don’t like have to pay for parking now

This restaurant is one of the best Chinese Restaurants in London. And I should know. Great spacious restaurant overlooking City Airport runway. Fantastic food and great staff . Clean toilets

Food is slightly better than average but service is horrible. Doubt I'll be back

Extremely rude staff , food wasn't great, I have been to many chinese restaurants and this was by far the worst one I have ever stepped foot in.

Nothing, service is very bad, staff is not good at all. My tip is avoid. Very pricey also.

Terrible service. Waiter argued re the online discount then refused to take off service charge. Not recommended

黑店！Used to be a good restaurant. Now, poor servicing, low quality food. Never coming back again.
