Food was really great here, good portion size and prices are reasonable. The only reason, I didn't score 5 was because it was little higher on my preferred salt levels
I had such a wonderful time at this family-run spot — it’s truly charming! It was a delight to try some authentic, less Westernized Chinese dishes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. We started with chicken claws, tripe, morning glory, and a dim sum set — all absolutely delicious. For our main courses, we chose beef noodles and a dish featuring duck and pork served over rice. To round off our meal, we enjoyed some heavenly custard buns. The prawn dim sum was definitely the highlight — tender prawns wrapped in delicate, almost see-through dough. The chicken claws and tripe had nice textures, though they could have used a bit more flavor — perhaps a touch of garlic, greens, sesame oil, or seeds to enhance them. The morning glory also could have used a bit more seasoning. However, the main dishes were spot-on, and the custard buns provided a lovely, not-too-sweet ending. Prices were really reasonable, making it easy to enjoy fantastic food without spending a fortune. I’m already looking forward to returning and exploring more of the delicious dishes on the menu! :)
Wow..... The food was amazing, the staff were welcoming and friendly and there was a great atmosphere. This is my new favourite Chinese restaurant for sure. My girlfriend is Chinese and also said the food was authentic tasting and superb. Thanks guys for the great service.
Overall an authentic family run restaurant. Was lovely to try some less westernised versions of chinese cousine. Lovely staff and service too. We had chicken claws, tripe, morning glory and dimsum set for starters. For the mains we had beef noodles and duck and pork with rice. We finished the meal with custard buns. Prawn dimsum was amazing, filled with soft prawns in see through soft dough. The chicken claws and tripe had very pleasant texture but needed a punch in flavour. They only tasted of sichuan. Same goes for morning glory, needed some stronger flavours like garlic, greens, maybe sesame oil and seeds on top. The main dishes were flawless. And the custard buns were a very pleasant and not overly sweet end to our meal. The prices are very affordable. Will definitely be going back to try so many of the other intriguing items on the menu. :)
Happy to have found a legit dim sum restaurant so close to home — no need to trek all the way to central London anymore! The food here was spot on. We ordered a great selection: har gow (prawn dumplings) and siu mai were juicy and full of flavour, the cheung fun had a silky texture and a lovely savoury sauce, and the chicken feet were nicely seasoned. The deep-fried sesame rolls were crispy and not greasy, and the tofu skin rolls were hearty and satisfying. Even the egg tart — although I was already full — was buttery and smooth, with a proper flaky crust. Portion sizes were generous, prices were fair, and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was pretty quick and efficient. Definitely coming back again — and will be recommending this place to friends and family who love dim sum as much as I do!
Came here last month to grab some lunch while on the way to Bluewater! Good selection of dim sum and other dishes. Dishes are almost the same as what you could usually get in Chinatown but the prices here are slightly cheaper than London. My favorite was definitely the wat tan ho fun, highly recommend this dish! I thought it was very chill in the restaurant, not as cramped or noisy compared to when in a Chinatown restaurant. (Though we did go on a weekday and the restaurant is not as big as a lot of the ones we usually go to in Chinatown.) The service was great! Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. We didn't' have to wait long for the food to come out and it was enough to fill us up.
Mega yummy and will be back! Recently opened, best Chinese food in the area. Great food options and dependent on day / timing also dim sum. Good portions and reasonably priced. Definitely will be back soon.
A hidden gem inside Dartford (7 mins walk from train station) and close to M25. Here for Saturday night Chinese new year eve dinner gathering. They are famous for Cantonese cuisines. Highly recommended for fresh seafood: sea bass and scallop.
Very good quality, great tasting authentic Chinese food. Dim sum for lunch is awesome as very few places do it. I think they even have private function rooms for private parties. Definitely my new local goto for Chinese cuisine
Popped in for dim sum on Sunday (October 2022). Great selection of dishes, priced reasonably (comparable to Chinatown), very friendly service and the sign of a good authentic Chinese restaurant... Lots of Chinese customers - small and big groups! I don't tend to have dim sum a lot, but it did bring back a lot of nostalgia of when I used to go with my family as a kid. The culture, the noises, the feelings/soul of a Chinese dim sum restaurant on a Sunday morning. Amazing! The restaurant looks small on the outside but extends in quite deep and is actually quite big. I only moved to Dartford recently so it's great to have such a local restaurant. They also have a 15% discount offer on at the moment - but not sure when the offer ends. Keep up the great work!
