One of the best Chinese restaurants in London (I'm Hk Chinese). Good food and generally good service, which you don't normally find at other Chinese restaurants.
MaríaJune 11, 2018The dim sum is delicious, but also the deep fried sesame prawn rolls. For wasabi fans, don't miss the stuffed tomatoes. I wouldn't define the service as friendly, but really helpful with babies.
Jun SJuly 17, 2016Great dim sum place on a Sunday morning. Sit at terrace outdoor if the weather is nice. You have amazing view to admire.
- Karine TovmassianJune 18, 2023A must stop and try. If you are staying across the river at the Doubletree the free ferry brings you right to their doorstep. Best Chinese food I’ve had in years.
Kornelija MaceviciuteAugust 22, 2022Very classic chinese restaurant. Everything we picked was delicious! Very recommended when you want the taste of classics. The location is cute too. They have outdoor seating
Amazing dim sum, get here at opening time on the weekend to get a table! The gyoza are particularly good!
- NoMade InMongoliaMarch 1, 2015One of the best Chinese restaurants in London fo sho. Great fast service. Ate like a pig- don't regret it!
Paul NaveauAugust 21, 2013Very good! Great view but most importantly: you can taste the high quality of the ingredients! Please go here for a dimsum lunch!
Chicken with chili is delicious and I always drink the Pinot Grigio Rosé wine here... a very good Chinese it is
Peri BaptistaSeptember 10, 2012Quite impressed by the food quality had skipped this place for years due to a dodgy meal. But that is all in the past, best dumplings I've had, chilli chicken was tasty too. Service was attentive.
Ays SozenAugust 10, 2013Amazing athmosphere and delicious food. Dont forget to try prawn toast and jasmine tea :)
buratinaFebruary 3, 2013Very good authentic HK style Chinese. Dim sums are served on lunch time only for some reason... Will come back!
The basics are the best - hakao, siomai, roast pork puff, pork bun, crispy baby squid and Yeung chow fried lice- Felicity MouldNovember 18, 2015This place is good. It's expensive but good Chinese is hard to find in this city. Great view.
Shyamashree DasApril 5, 2013Nice prawn dumplings & you can't really go wrong with the crispy duck. Good service!
Cannis ChanAugust 8, 2014Amazing chinese food comparable to restaurant in Hong Kong, love having dimsum there!
Jonathan LinJuly 8, 2013Went with a party of five yesterday to be shocked by the price of Chinese tea and steam rice. Check your receipt as they charge you more than 10% for discreet gratuity, not compulsory to pay. Cheeky!
Graeme MJanuary 16, 2013Fresh ingredients. Spare ribs cooked had not been frozen (according to my impressed Cantonese inlaws)
Esther FerrerJune 5, 2010The dim sum, lotus rice,sour and sweet chicken and chicken with pepper and black bean sauce were very nice. egg rice wasnt that good. The service was good, but we were waiting gor the bill for ages!
Henry TDecember 1, 2013Food was good but it wasn't cheap. If you order a set meal they're big enough rice for 4 on a set meal for 2...
Greg OhmFebruary 4, 2017Aweful experience. Very poor, distratcted, distant, disinterested service. After waiting 20 minutes had to get up to get someone to get us a server. Food was average & left two of us w/ bad diarrhea.
- Antoni BaranskiOctober 25, 2010This kitchen rocks!!!! The food is to did for, nit sure what to recommend... ah sod it just ear anything! :)
Sergio ANovember 15, 2013Food is good, but nothing special. Overpriced. I know places with better Chinese food and less expensive.
- blanca garciaMarch 7, 2010best dim sum i´ve had! go early / late in the weekends, otherwise be ready to wait.
Hoong CheahJuly 25, 2014Definitely not value for money. Overpriced and the food doesn't justify the price. Can do better at Greenwich retail park
Maha AApril 23, 2017Unpleasant, noisy, lack of hygiene, unfriendly staff, depressing interior colours. Pricy and nothing special. Avoid unless they renew it completely.
DiscotizerApril 5, 2015Bad China Restaurant! Very unfriendly people, cold food and very expensive. They also charge 13% on top of your bill.- Jonathan LinJuly 7, 2013To be honest, the food is not that great. The servings are miserable for the price you're paying. I'll skip it, thank you.

"Good quality dim sum at reasonable prices. It's a bit of a trek from South London and feels like it's in the middle of nowhere but worth the effort and the views of the river are amazing"

"Most things are great. Lamb skewers especially. Hotpot not very hot by default, even hot menu option (maybe for laowai)"
