* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

This classic and efficient Chinatown operation is a popular choice for dim sum – especially for anyone “missing life in Hong Kong”. The food is “all very tasty”, if “nothing that really sets the world alight”.

“Legendary dumplings served with typical Chinatown efficient service” – help this central fixture live up to its name for most reporters, making it a top dim sum favourite for many. To a minority, though, the experience is “sterile and inauthentic”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
