1. Felix Chan ★★★☆☆

   Great lovely restaurant with beautiful decoration and nice ambience. Unfortunately, when we came in, we had to order off the festive menu - which are three dishes of your choice, a side, and a dessert. While the dish choice is very extensive and interesting, the execution of many of the dishes fell quite short. For a restaurant priding itself on their dumplings, the dumpling skin is incredibly thick and unpleasant texturally. The filling is great but the texture again makes it hard to eat. The soup dumpling is fantastic though. The crispy duck is not crispy at all - which again makes it unpleasant to eat. The ‘super tasty’ ribs had a smell to it which suggests to me that the ribs had not been cleaned or cooked properly. The sauce on the rib tastes great but does not stick or coat the rib - thus, not able to mask the unpleasant smell of the meat. Overall, quite disappointed by the quality of the meal. The price tag is quite high for what it serves. It feels like an unauthentic Chinese food trying to be what it’s not - an upscale Chinese food can be done. Sadly, they have not achieved it here.

   Food was delicious, we ordered a dinner menu - you can choose any 3 meals to your liking, I went for duck bao bun, beef dumplings and pork slices with cashews, my partner went for chicken bao bun, crispy duck and chicken and mushroom dumplings. The food was absolutely stunning. Would go back any time, totally worth visiting, the price is reasonable and it’s great to be able to get a selection of dishes and try a bit of everything, especially if you come with someone.

   We went as a group of four and each tried the tasting menu. Can highly recommend! My personal favourites were the Taiwanese fried chicken and the beef cubes. Teriyaki sauce is already delicious, and with the hint of truffle (just right), it was raised to the next level. The dessert wine was beautiful, with gorgeous notes of lychee and peach!

   Great place for a celebration or a group dinner. Food was good, ambience was amazing! We were given a pod to sit in - POD like a London eye has. Service was excellent and cocktails were delicious and creative. 10/10 would recommend

   Very upscale casual vibe which would be good for date night or catching up with friends you haven't seen in years. The asian food was good with definitely Western influences. My favorite dish was the mango rice dessert. The service was friendly but very stalled. It took a while to receive our food, and we weren't checked on very often. We spent most of our time waiting around.

   I've been to the Dumpling Library twice now. Both times the food has been very good. It's also served very quickly. There are a lot of options, including vegetarian and vegan options. My only criticism is that it can be quite noisy coming from the kitchen. I would definitely go again.

   I absolutely loved the place. The interior is ambient and stylish so it's very comfortable but still remains classy. Both the service and food were great quality. The food arrives at your table when it's ready, which is good when everyone is sharing and picking away, but we couldn't believe how much food kept arriving. Good portion sizes, almost needed a bigger table though. Can't wait to go back.

   Honestly what a fabulous treat!! We booked into one of the awesome pods outside and it was so cute and nice to have a private booth where we could all chat. The staff were prompt, friendly and helpful in advising us of allergy concerns. The food, just incredible! I would recommend the soup buns that were filled with a delicious chicken broth and burst in your mouth :) we ordered a few different plates between us and it was surprisingly filling! The cocktails were also delicious and do non alcoholic versions that according to my sister were very tasty :) A last little note was that I loved the fact that the Vietnamese coffee I ordered came in the authentic Vietnamese coffee maker which reminded me of my travels around there :) 10/10 will be back again!
