Service was incredibly fast for a weekend. The dim sum was great. The only problem was that it is a little difficult to get there or even getting there, there is a car park….. but you can park at B&Q where it’s free and walk over. I walked 15 minutes from the O2, it’s nice and open until you get close to the myriad of roads you have to cross to get there.

The food is incredible! Yes the interior is basic and the service/ambience slightly chaotic, but you come here for the great dim sum at very reasonable prices. Always busy expect to wait 15 minutes for a table if you come at the weekend. The fact there are so many Chinese families eating here tells you how good it is!

2nd visit - Sunday lunch 3/5 stars.The quality of the food is consistent, no change.However on the 2nd visit it was a Sunday lunch time and it was packed. The wait staff really struggled to manage with the food and service (it was actually very poor service), missing items, staff just walking past, 20+ minutes to get the bill.1st visit - Monday lunch 5/5 stars.Dim sum or Yum Cha whatever you call it.This is a good place to eat, there isn't a super large variety list but has a good enough variety. Wait staff are great.Two things to note if you are considering here, arrive early as this place fills out quickly (queueing system) and you have to factor in parking fees (for those that hate paying for parking). (Use the QR code to pay inside the restaurant instead of the outside boards there charge different rates.)

Love coming here for dim sum, seems to be the place be for Chinese families in southeast London. The service is efficient and polite. It's easier to get a parking space and a table if you come early at about 11am on the weekend. You have to pay for parking now, there's a QR code you scan at the table and it costs £3.50...for some reason, you get charged more if you use the app.

The food tastes good and authentic. I would give the food a rating of 4/5. Parking costs £3.50. However, the service was horrible and only deserved 1 star. The waiters were not attentive and stood right next to our table and chatted and laughed. When the food was served, they didn't say which dish it was or at least "enjoy your meal". They simply put the dish on the table and rushed away even though the restaurant was not busy. No one came to clear our table after the main so there were used and messy plates when we had desserts. Staff seemed inexperienced. The restaurant automatically applied 12.5% service charge to the final bill but there was hardly any service.

This restaurant is quite an unknown restaurant, more like if you know, then you know but if not then you wouldn't even know it's here type of place. Although its been at this location for a long time. The food on the other hand, it's 👌👌👌 the food is delicious. Can be pricey but with the quality of food you receive then you won't complain. They serve dim sum from mid day to late afternoon which is nice for a light snack if you want. But the main can still be ordered. The decor seems a little out dated but nonetheless I would recommend giving this place a try. Staff are also friendly. A good venue for special occasions too

Very disappointed at the quality of the food. Critical ingredients missing for shrimp dumplings and beef balls. Porridge used tasteless shredded pork from soup base preparation. Siu lung bao is stiffness and breaks before being served on the table. Unless you are driving and need a parking spot, go get something decent in China town.

We went for the Dim sum menu. And we really enjoyed all that we ordered. So go for Lunch if you fancy Dimsum .

Authentic yum cha and good value! Closest to what you would get in Hong Kong. Don't know why it's rated 3.9. I think it should be rated higher. Will be my go to yum cha place going forward.

Came here with some friends for dim sum on a Friday lunchtime. The service was great and the dim sum were excellent! Really good quality, and served piping hot and very quickly.The pricing for each item was very reasonable - we had 10 dishes and tea and it came to £60 for the three of us. Will definitely visit again, thanks for a great lunch!
