Golden Phoenix in Lambeth

Been here twice, once for dinner and once for dimsum. Amazing Chinese cuisine overall. Personally I enjoyed the dimsum more with excellent MaLaiGo (马来糕) and creamy egg custard buns! Would definitely return!

It with great sadness that I have to score this place with humidity and honesty because I know they can improve by miles atmosphere 1/10 no theme to the restaurant , food presentation 4/10 it was thrown on the table as if they had 600 customers waiting, value for money 4/10 very poor experience I hope you guys could do better next time I visit

I have no complaints - food was good as was the service but nothing was WOW. We ordered the seafood crispy noodles, sweet & sour chicken, veg noodles (as the chicken didnt come with a side so we had to order separately), veg spring rolls & prawn dumplings. The food was good and tasted very fresh. Portions are pretty generous! With 2 diet cokes the bill came up to £55.40 which is steep when you compare to other restaurants on the same street.

We were craving congee with fried dough sticks and were not disappointed. The porridge is light, and the flavors subtle. We ordered one fish and pork tripe porridge, and one preserved egg with pork porridge, with some assorted dim sum. Really enjoyed the mango grapefruit tapioca pearl dessert too.

Food was tasty, staff attended to us quickly. Portions were good sized too. Very clean and modern

A very good option in Chinatown for authentic Cantonese dim sum. I visited on the back of a positive recommendation and overall I was impressed. We ordered the har gau (prawn dumpling), mixed dumpling set, the turnip cake, cheung fun, BBQ pork pastries and egg yolk custard buns. The har gau were especially good with generous sized prawns and the cheung fun was comparable to anything I've had in Hong Kong. The skins of dumpling selection could have been a little lighter, but no complaints aside from that. Will definitely visit again to sample more.

really really tasty food. the flavours were vibrant. service was amazing they were constantly on their toes keeping the place tidy. my only issue was that they were out or dim sum :(

We visited this restaurant on our fisrt day on UK trip. The food were great! Hospitality? Hm.. so-so much to my experience. Strange policy that we could not take away our leftover, because our meals was ordered by a travel agency? So many leftover!

Excellent service and clean atmosphere.However the food is average but price wise it is affordable in comparison to other places.Definitely authentic Chinese with strong flavours in everything.However -The chilli dumplings in soup was very poor, the chilli sauce was tasteless and the dumplings itself wasn’t well seasoned. However the turnip cakes are large and portion wise everything was to a good quantity but quality lacking.

Food - 2Cost - 4Ambience - 2Service - 1The food was okay but my dish (seafood ho fun) was pretty bland and I had to add salt which I seldom do. I will say that it tasted relatively authentic/ homemade but the quality is a bit poor and it was obvious that the seafood had been frozen and quickly thawed.The cost is reasonable it was a cheap eat and cost £32 for two people to eat including drinks. But, even with this in mind, I still don’t feel the food was worth the cost which is saying a lot, I believe.Ambience was reminiscent of a school lunch room. Rowdy, crowded and loud.The service was probably the worst I have experienced in London. They weren’t rude but it was poor and non-existent; I was excited to finally leave. Made to feel a burden to the lady serving us and we weren’t really spoken but rather spoken at.I was with good company which made a lot of difference because I doubt I’d have survived that place alone or otherwise.I wont be back and I would not recommend (unless desperate to eat, which we were or looking for a very cheap eat).
