Living in the area - it is the perfect place to come for dim sum on the weekend. It is not the best I have had in London - but for the area it is a solid dim sum.
Jun SMarch 11, 2016Try order everything in one go. Stick with the dim sum menu. Try Chung fung and steamed dumplings. And of course the "Phoenix feet"
Leanne WongSeptember 18, 2013Best bor lor bao in town (pineapple buns). Fresh out of the oven and with a surprise filling
- A.March 11, 2015The dim sum here is good. Would recommend the cheung fun (stuffed rice noodles), the turnip cake and the chiu chou fun guo (Chiu Chou style pork dumplings)
Actually, everything I've tried puts it in the upper band of Chinese restaurants I have visited in London in terms of quality and taste. But certainly not in terms of price.
Small waiting area. Get there for 12 on the dot at weekends. to avoid ticket system. Parking in Asda is free for 3 hours.- Mei SuenAugust 17, 2014Good for people living in East London, no need to go into West End for dim sum. Service extremely slow though.
Ordered seafood noodles, the scallops were not fresh but the prawns are fine. Instead of replacing it, I was threatened that if I ordered a seafood dish they will not change the dish if it’s not fresh
Nainesh MehtaJune 5, 2010Brilliant Dim Sum here, very popular over the weekends and by far the best valued place in Canary Wharf for dim sum
Dominic D.September 6, 2014Crowded place. People turnover is fast. You should not wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. Dim sum is standard. Nothing outstanding.
Danielle AadsenJune 30, 2013The dim sum is amazing, but they only serve it until 4:30. After that the menu gets shoddy and they run out of many menu items.
Maja NaskretJanuary 13, 2013Arguably the best dim sums in town! Highly recommended, however be ready to queue!- MonicaSeptember 25, 2013Great dim sum place, quite reasonably prices too. Would def rather go there than Chinatown
- Nainesh MehtaJune 9, 2010Brilliant for dim sum in the weekends, opens at 12, get there early to avoid having to wait for a table as this place can get very busy!
Ewen MitchellJanuary 18, 2012Ignore that beardy fool. Classic dim sum and authentic Canto dishes. Take someone who knows real Chinese food.
Fiona G.👑June 13, 2015Haven't visited for years now as the quality dropped but has now improved on dim sum. Fried noodles were expensive in tiny portions.
- NoMade InMongoliaMarch 22, 2015Really average main dishes... Shredded lamb in plum sauce and steamed prawn were fine. The sweet and sour soup was really average. Do not recommend orange chicken - tasted artificial.
Jia WangJuly 17, 2014Ppl here are not friendly if you first ask for tap water and then order two cheap (10 each) dishes.
Jon ChooNovember 7, 2011Used to come here weekly, but quality has taken a serious hit for the worse. What were once quality dim sum made with fresh ingredients, now looks like processed frozen food. Urgh.- Ask for Stephen/Michael/Helen or Jas, they can give you some authentic chinese food recommendations..
Kay McMahonFebruary 10, 2013Avoid when busy: came for Chinese New Year. Took 2 hours & still didn't get all our food. Bill was wrong. Service shambolic.
MichaelJuly 18, 2011Gordon S, I don't think you could have been to the same Lotus as everyone else. Never encountered a rude member of staff or processed food here!- Ankur Singh GaurMarch 2, 2013Don't expect any prawns in Prawn Fried Rice...Also bad customer service.
Anastasia TolstovaApril 13, 2012We made the quickest escape from here. Ran away to Goodman. Not recommended.
GordonJune 19, 2011Best tip I can give is to avoid it completely. Rude staff and cheap processed chinese food.
melocotoncitaFebruary 7, 2015Huyan de este lugar y no malgasten su dinero aquí. Toda la comida que consumimos tenia sabor rancio o muy fuerte, nos reemplazaron los platos pero los nuevos no eran mejor. No vuelvo ni gratis.
