An agreeable yumcha dumpling experience. The siomay, prawns, and chives dumplings were faultless; although the beef meatballs lacked texture and density. My favourites of tripe with spicy pepper and the chicken feet did not disappoint. Service was prompt and friendly.
Revisited in February 2023: Same great place for Dim Sum as always, my favourite Soho joint. Most times you'll get a table very quickly unless you come in a larger group. Large variety of steamed, grilled and cold dim sum available (until 5pm), also appetizing mains. Prices are very reasonable. Service is typical of busy Chinese places: Rush, rush, rush! But the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed. Highly recommended! Original review: I simply can't praise this place enough, mainly for Dim Sum. Went there again twice, and again good quality, speedy service (the portly chief waiter is a full pro), great selection and competitive prices indeed. Simply can't figure why some people are so critical.
Vegetarian review - There are multiple vegetarian dim sum options which are marked in the menu. The food was quick, hot, and tasty. The fried items were crispy and light. The service was friendly and fast, and the prices are reasonable. I visited for dim sum on a quiet Saturday afternoon and easily got a table on the ground floor. The only thing I think could be improved are the toilets which were not super clean. Fyi if you are in a wheelchair the toilets are not accessible as they are either up one floor or down one floor via stairs.
Unbelievable quality of food. The service was excellent and the staff were very polite. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for dim sum and the meat selection (duck, pork, Belly pork).
My friend convinced me to eat here saying that there are many Chinese grandma and grandpas come here and stay for the entire afternoon, so the food must be good. We went there and did enjoy the food a lot. Especially the dry friend beef rice noodles, I order this a lot when I’m eating out because it is difficult to make at home. This one does not fail my expectation. Dim sums are delicious. The Salty egg yolk bun (流沙包）has a very strong taste of the salted egg yolk, which is quite special, probably made here. All the rest of the foods are great except the crispy pork belly, not crispy when served. And the special fried rice (揚州炒飯) is a bit wet and mushy. Service is ok, considering they don’t have much staffs. But at the beginning they served the wrong tea. As 5 people we ordered a bit too much, but was only £23 per person in the end.
Food was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ordering process was easy and food arrived when ready not all together. This was good as we could take our time eating and sharing the food. Jasmine tea was topped up regularly. The menu showed pictures of the items. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended
Food was amazing, traditional Chinese dim sum with great flavours, only down side was the speed of service but they were quite busy on a weekend so that’s not a big deal. About £30 for 6/7 types of dim sum and drinks. Well worth it.
Great dumplings place in an authentic chinese restaurant (even the menus are in chinese). The service people are not the nicest, but the food is very authentic and tasty. We ordered a few types of dumplings and really enjoyed them. Very affordable. Booking recommended.
