Yi-Ban - Royal Albert Dock in Newham

A nice restaurant with some good quality food.The location is great and has nice views if you get a seat by the window.Parking is not free so make sure to have some change or use the app to pay for parking or can use the nearby DLR station.To be honest the only problem with this restaurant is the customer service, which is dreadful that’s why I’m giving it 3 stars. The service I got was very bad and decided not to pay service charge and after that they treat you even worse.However if you want some nice food, with nice views and don’t mind about the service you get then this is the place.

Frequent this restaurant whenever I crave for dim sum. Attractive view by the river! I Food is reasonably priced, fresh and delicious. The service is quite good too. However, I feel car parking is expensive for that location!

Went out with wife for dinner here. Nice location by the river, brilliant service, each course on time and nice atmosphere. Could be full, but that does not disturb. Will go again.

TLDR; above average dim sum with a unique view of the City Airport runway. One star lost for the parking arrangement and off beat location.Also remember to call ahead to book on weekends as it can get pretty busy quickly.The dim sum here is pretty decently but what really makes this place stand out is the view. It is right by city airport and you can see planes constantly taking off and landing.The menu is fairly standard for a dim sum restaurant and have all the classics. Siu Mai, Prawn dumplings, Cheung Fun, etc. Glad to report that it’s all tasty and well presented. Not quite Royal China level but definitely above average for London.The only downside is the logistics of getting there. It’s a bit out the way and if you are driving the parking isn’t free so come prepared. The restaurant is also pretty busy on the weekends so make sure you call ahead to book during peak lunch time.

It was one of my favourite dim sum restaurants in London. However after a few occasions, food quality have deteriorated. I think it’s time to explore other dim sum restaurants.

Nice dim sum place by the Thames, simple deco, but a view over the City Airport. Car parking costly at £3 for 2 hours. No soaps in3 out of 4 dispensers, but the toilets are clean. Overall a nice riverside dim dum/dinner restaurant.

Far away from London's Chinatown, located in the Docklands (but easily accessible by DLR) you'll find arguably the best dim sum restaurant in London. At weekends it's extremely crowded and you may have to wait up to 30 minutes. It's worth the wait!! The food is simply out of this world and prices are lower than in the West end. Highly recommended

Went there to try if the restaurant is any good before we decide to go their again for my wife's birthday next month.Food was very nice but their staff really need training in hospitality and courtesy.We were seated but didn't give us the menu.Our food was served without any enthusiasm at all, staff would just take some of the empty plates without asking for permission while we are still eating.After paying the bill, staff left without even saying thank you nor asking if I want a copy of the receipt.Reading some of the old comments here, I think the management can't be bothered.Giving it 3 stars because I enjoyed the food but not the experience.

Delicious food ,very clean ,helpful and friendly staff. Gorgeous view of plane taking off ❤⚘

Queue time was within 20mins without booking on Saturday.Location was within walking distance from Royal Albert DLR station.Food quality was acceptable without WOW factor.Service speed was good and table was spacious.Price level was similar as other Dim Sum restaurants.
