Tiffany ZApril 4, 2015Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants in China town! Food is just delicious! I really recommend the porc! Just be prepared to wait 20minutes or so for a table but the service is fast!!
Ardeshir PatelJune 29, 2015So when I went there wanted to hav dim sum but sadly was too late for it. From top sweet and sour pork amazing crispy chunks of pork with just enough sauce to coat, steamed prawns and lun fun rice. 😆
Marc TunguzJuly 31, 2015Yes, the staff is not the kindest in London but the food is really good! Good value for money. Try the ginger and pineapple duck.
Gabrielle RowanJanuary 10, 2020Great dim sum! Staff were efficient and although we had to queue for 15 minutes they had a great system in place for it being so busy.
Joan L.January 15, 2017Dim Sum is great and also can recommend the barbecue pork, Singapore noodles and egg fried rice :-)
Nick MasonJune 27, 2012Service attentive and good. Dim Sum is one of the best in Chinatown. Better than the Loong Fung restaurant for taste...and comparable to some HK places. Cheung Fun was great! Will be back- Nando RossiApril 14, 2013Went there on a Sunday evening, didn't have to wait at all. Nice place. Very good, fresh food. Good prices. Ordered the crispy duck, deep fried prawns and everything was great.
One of the better dim sum joints in London, and certainly one of the more authentic ones. Very busy on Sundays so come early. Great value.
Robert PichlerApril 26, 2013Great food, great service, reasonable prices and fast, very fast cooking - we waited for only 10 mins for 4 people and the place was full. Will come again for sure.
Best dim sum in Chinatown by far - speedy service, albeit not the friendliest at times, but exceeded by far by their authentic, delicious dim sum. They stop serving dim sum at 5pm, so be quick!
Rachel FranksApril 6, 2019Had a classic dim sum spread split between four people and came up to about £25 per person, great value for money 👌
One of our favourite place for dim sum! Good quality and delicious food and friendly staff!
Jessica LindeawesomeMarch 3, 2015Try the prawn cheung fun and egg tarts. This place is really good for authentic dim sum.
W CJune 29, 2016Good food, crispy beef is a must try. Staff are friendly and very alert. Best Chinese restaurant in China town(London)
AlyssaDecember 22, 2015Great for dim sum, some of the best pork soup dumplings I've had. Pecking duck is also a must try.
Authentic Hong Kong dim sum! Long queues in the weekend (they don't take reservations for lunch) but all worth it!
Giggle GigglyJanuary 4, 2016Roast pork is good and food in general is good. However the restaurant is unfriendly for buggy users. Don't bring a young baby or come with a sling instead to get a space.
Josh TaroliMarch 5, 2016The bright lighting and big room makes it a bit uncosy, but it's a good tasting Chinatown experience!
Kim VuFebruary 8, 2015Dim sum was decent enough. Staple dishes like prawn dumplings, soupy pork dumplings, prawn in steamed rice pancakes and taro croquettes were solid, but portions aren't very generous.
Jeremy PageMarch 24, 2013Lovely food. All completely ruined by the large service charge automatically added to the bill, and then aggressively questioned when we removed it and preferred to decide our own tip amount.
Great authentic dim sum and usually quite fast, this is my default choice in Chinatown. Not much to look at inside and service is mediocre but the food makes it worthwhile.
Ravi JainSeptember 21, 2013U can prebook to avoid queuing. But we arrived at 12:30 and were eating by 13:00. Dim sums are on a par with others on Gerrard Street which have now closed down! Spare ribs had too much batter.- CrazycatNovember 26, 2022Authentic Hong Kong style YumCha with super tasty Guangdong dishes with reasonable price.
GeriiiFebruary 10, 2013Delicious dim sum and very cheap too! Only go for dim sum menu-wise, we ordered some noodles too but they were very greasy and heavy.
Joan Vidal BoschJanuary 7, 2017Good Chinese food! Good price and fast service. I would repeat. Try the pork
Alistair GellanNovember 3, 2012Unfortunately they stop serving dim sum at 5pm but the set vegetarian menu for 2 (and extra crispy chilli beef I ordered) were definitely far better than typical fare!
Daphne GoonMay 18, 2016Quite nice food. Price average. There was a lion dance troupe in front so we went in😁
Christine FaiJuly 19, 2015Great dim sum - har kau especially and quick and service is actually decent!- Try the black sesame seed dumplings! Totally delicious!
Thomas WinghamOctober 30, 2011The prices are reasonable. They accept credit cards. Their food has been consistently outstanding for the 6 yrs I've come here. Highly recommended.- Jin OngNovember 22, 2010Best dimsum in Chinatown and good Chinese food at reasonable prices. Try their lobster noodles. Excellent egg tart, cheung fun and crisp yam puffs as well.
Avril JiaoNovember 24, 2014Never order the Peking duck! You will end up having half of the plate filled with prawn crackers!- Chucho S.September 4, 2014Did not make it for dim sum (ends at 5), but the crispy duck was absolutely perfect and delicious! The rest of the food was average to decent.
Yoonie SFebruary 15, 2014Skip the crab and sweetcorn soup and the chicken and sweetcorn soup. No flavour!
Caroline UmaliMay 31, 2010For Chinatown, this is the go to for decent food at a reasonable price. Always full of locals to Chinatown, which says so much more compared to the others in the area.
Josh RyanDecember 9, 2012Best dim sum in Chinatown. Fast service, not friendly but quick and great food.
