Food arrived oily half spilt in the bag. And as for portion Compared to what I am paying.. well absolutely shocking. Inedible crumbs.. burnt and greasy. I called the restaurant to give them the benefit of the doubt. God I was spoken to so rudely by the manager. I ended up putting the phone down. Never ever purchasing any food from this restaurant again.

The food quality is much worse than the Baker Street branch. Most of the menu is replaced by food that can be cooked from frozen - bun, dumpling etc. some of the special items that can only be cooked from scratch are not there. Chung fun is served with barely any sauce - which is unbearable. Shanghai dumpling (xiao long Bao) should be served with shredded ginger with vinegar, but they just bring us a giant bottle of vinegar.The service is bad as well - usually for dim sum you’d expect food to come more or less together. In this case they serve one small dish and then you have to have 25 min for another small dish.I’m quite tolerant usually but this is just too bad. I suspect they don’t have dim sum chef and just take from freezer and heat food. You are better off to buy from a Chinese supermarket and cook yourself.

Satisfied with the dim sum. Quite pricey but it’s a nice restaurant with good service, so I think that it’s reasonable.

Worst Chinese restaurant experience in a long time. Pancakes arrived uncooked, with no apology when we pointed it out. The manager argued with me for ten minutes to explain why I couldn't have ice and lemon in my tap water. At ÂŁ4 per bowl of plain rice per person, you would have thought the restaurant could have afforded a single slice of lemon.Each dish arrived separately , the rice came without a lid on so it became cold as we ate. We were given a different vegetable dish to what we ordered , again with no apology.The atmosphere was also terrible - we had a baby with us and were told very rudely that they did not have any highchair and that she could sit in the pram. We were sat at the back of the restaurant, where we were joined by one member of staff who was making hacking noises with his phlegm whilst speaking loudly on the phone, and another who slept at the table next to us with her coat over her head.5 adults, 2 children, ÂŁ200 bill and a very disappointing experience. A shame as we are local and we were looking forward to having a local place to go to for meals. We had hoped for a nice family Chinese New year experience - we will certainly remember it though, and will remember not to visit it again.

Just ordered sweet and sour Chicken and it's literally rock solid. Tastes like wood with sweet and sour sauce. Honestly the worst chicken I've had in a long time.

Like a lot of the other reviews. Rude service, food is average, and atmosphere in here is like an empty school canteen. Find another Chinese restaurant to take your guests to but don’t insult them by taking them here. Ours was meant to be a Chinese New Year celebration for the 10 of us which had obviously passed this Chinese restaurant by…..they made it clear they didn’t care about welcoming us back and that children were not welcome here, which makes it a very un-Chinese restaurant.

Really not that good.Ho Fun with mixed meat: blah. No real flavor. Little chicken and a little beef. The. A bunch of squid.Sweet and sour chicken: not bad but very little sauce.Starters were all blah and didn’t look anything like the menu. Pork dumplings and shrimp toast which looks like shrimp croquets.Crispy Shrimp wrap was good.Ordered through Deliveroo.

Recommend! Little expensive compared to other Chinese restaurants but temsim are great! Real Cantonese taste. 30-40punds one person.

Delicious yum cha (aka sim sum). You can taste that it's been made fresh - it's so delicate! A little more pricey than other places we've explored but totally worth it!

Enjoyable lunch here. Superb dim sum and attentive service. I absolutely loved the food. Their custard buns are a favourite.The servers are probably even too attentive, especially if you are seated near the doors etc., the servers will be constantly checking you.Only downside is being seated so close to other people that you can hear their conversations.This restaurant is definitely not well suited to vegetarians / vegans if you are very strict with your diet. Accidentally ordered some meat items without knowing it (and I’m not a vegetarian/vegan myself).They constantly refill your tea.I would advise them to get bigger mugs for their teas... they’re very, very tiny...
