MaríaFebruary 19, 2017One of the best Chinese meals I've had in a while. Dim sum staples, Sichuan dishes and a bunch of classic mains to choose from. The bean curd stuffed aubergines are a new favorite for me.
- Jon ChooNovember 16, 2014One of the best dim sum joints in London, and certainly better than most in Chinatown.
Martin EdenOctober 12, 2015We dropped in for crispy duck with pancakes, which was nice, although a little pricey. The decor is grand and I liked the little fish ponds. They stop serving dim sum at 4.30pm.
Excellent dim sum - easily what they excel at. That said general dining is also good; a very good Cantonese allrounder.
Hui-ern NgJuly 20, 2015Really like the dimsum here. Skin on the dumplings thin allows me to taste the filling! Another fav tho is the beans in xox/chili bean sauce
- David BakerMay 14, 2017One of the best dim sum places in London - well worth the trip. Try the Cheung Fun and the Har Gau
Daren WilliamsOctober 2, 2016Maybe the best yum cha in London. Highlights were prawn dumplings, prawn & chive dumplings, taro croquettes and mango pudding
Mary LApril 27, 2015We arrived too late for the dim sum menu, but ordered off the regular a la carte and were not disappointed. The roast duck with rice is simple, flavourful, and utterly decadent.
The dim sum is obvious draw, but the great value and delicious lunch sets are a real treat, too
Great dim sum in South London. I wish I new about this place years ago! It can get very busy at peak times.
Marina SulimOctober 29, 2016Dim sum is the best! Sizzling dishes are finger licking, especially in combination with plum vine. Love the food here!- Martin EdenOctober 31, 2015The Dim Sum are tasty. I have found that 5 dishes is about right for a filling lunch for two people. (So that's 2-3 per person).
- TeeOctober 19, 2014Great dim sum and amazing value for money too! The prawn and chive dumplings are a must order.
Bruno B.March 5, 2016Definitely better than the tourist traps in Chinatown! Aromatic duck and custard dumplings are a must!
One of the best Cantonese choices in London. Order the salt & pepper squid - no one does it better!
Emmeline LcJuly 12, 2015Good Chinese place south the Thames. It's open till late so a good option for a nice late dinner
Excellent dim sum. An oasis of good food at the Elephant. Favourites include fried squid, glutinous rice, pork cheung fun, shanghai pork buns.
- Dim sum lunches on the weekend is the only way; Arrive late (15:00) to avoid the busy hours.
Amazing restaurant and affordable alternative to China town www.dragon-castle.com
Great dim sum, evening menu not-so-great. Try the pork and turnip dumplings.
K Wei NgJune 10, 2012Great place for dim sum - must try the sizzling beef, it is so tender and tasty!- Best Dim Sum south of the river. Serves Dim Sum till 4:30pm on a Sunday. Perfect!
Chris PulicicchioApril 17, 2010Dragon Castle is by no means average! Great chinese food that always pleases. Try the chairman mao pork belly if you like spicy dishes - it's fantastic!- One of the best Canto's in London, easily. Salt and pepper shrimp go hard!
Blythe AMarch 21, 2012The sweet & sour chicken & crispy beef with singapore fried rice is delicious!
Lizzie MJanuary 12, 2011Dim sum tends to be better earlier in the day; we usually go around 12:30pm.
Up there amongst the best dim sum in London. And that's verified by my Chinese in laws!

"One of the best dimsum restaurants in London. Must have their xiaolongbao, siaomai, and shark's fin dumpling. For a la carte dishes, try their fu-jian fried rice and baked crab with ginger."
