  Excellent Hong Kong style Chinese restaurant! The food was very good. I recommend the stir fried string beans, duck, and fish. You really can't go wrong with the dishes here! It's just as good as some restaurants in Asia!
  
  Good portion sizes as well. Interior is clean and service is fast. Would highly recommend!

  We were looking for a quintessential china town Chinese place.
  
  Out of recommendation from a few people we came here. Inside it is huge and they were hosting many parties of over 10 without much issue. We walked in as a party of two on a Wednesday night and were seated immediately with no one at the surrounding tables.
  
  The decor is old fashioned Chinese palace, with a river and bridge inside and big banquet tables and table clothes.
  
  We ordered the hot and sour soup, the fried noodles, dim sum platter and the prawns two ways.
  
  I liked the prawns, especially the spicy sauce prawns, the fried noodles were skinny noodles and incredibly oily.
  
  The hot and sour soup was a small but good appetizer portion, and enjoyed the dim sum platter, that is the dish I  would order again.
  
  If you've got a huge party and you're in the area it might be a good option.
  
  The service was 5 stars and very friendly!

  This was a truly frustrating and disappointing experience! Incredibly rude people for a tourist area although we are local it was our first time. Having a Michelin start have this place credibility and the good truth be told was good... when it eventually came. It took almost an hour for a soup and dim sum. Not having even ordered our main courses we were shocked that we now were getting yelled at by the staff who were then talking ABOUT us to other tables. Disgusting!!

  Everything hit the spot after a full day of touring London on a rainy day.
  
  1) Dimsum platter - the crowning piece of the meal with 8 pieces of 4 different dumplings. You can tell they know good dimsum, the wrapper/skin was soft and not overly chewy, the stuffing allowed you to taste the ingredients..shrimp, chives, pork, and the spicy dipping oil complemented and boosted the flavors!
  2) Fried noodle with seafood with Ber..(can't recall the word) - greasy but so satisfying and tasty
  3) Chinese broccoli - garlicky savory goodness
  4) Pot of Jasmine tea (pay for each person drinking it, free refills)
  
  Would love to come for their Sunday morning dimsum service!

  There wasn't anything wrong with this place but it didn't "wow" me either. Your standard dim sum menu but there were items you had to order from the main menu which would drive up the price. For example there were no vegetables for under £8, only vegetable dumplings.
  
  The food was good. Crispy sesame prawn rolls, pork dumplings, prawn and chives, and fried squid were all cooked to order. The long noodle with prawns came in its signature soy sauce but they failed to cut it in the middle which lended to a struggle with chopsticks.
  
  Little touches like soy sauce and chili oil at the table were missing and took several attempts to get staff attention to receive. Service was lacking even when we were ready to pay the bill.
  
  With three levels, you won't wait long and have your choice of dishes. However you can find many other places with a better overall value.
  
  Also note that they do not have cart/trolley service, only cooked to order.
