Been a year since I last came to this restaurant. Atmosphere of the restaurant is now very lively and it was full during the lunch hour on Sunday. Most people gathering for dim sum no doubt. Food and service was excellent. The usual waiting for a table, but no different to other Chinese restaurants. We ordered a number of dishes and two stood out compared to other dim sum places I have been. The Thai style chicken feet was a little more spicy and flavoursome and thr bbq pork pastries crust were slightly more crunchy and thr filling a bit more packed. Definitely would come back when I am in the area again.
Very good place that serves dim sum. Tasty, bigger and fuller dim sum dishes compare to other places I have been to. Good and speedy services. Good prices. I would recommend reserving a table as it got very busy from 12:30pm. We will return for sure and don’t need to travel far to eat dim sum.
I absolutely loved the Dim sum here (served until 5pm on weekends and during lunchtime in the week)
Everything was great but we especially enjoyed the Siu Mai, Cheung Fun, Turnip cake, char siu buns and egg custard tarts.
The staff are very attentive and constantly topping up your tea.
We had an absolute feast with a few dishes to take home and it only came to around £50 with drinks.
I can't wait to return and work my way through more of the Dim sum menu as well as the full menu.
Parked at Acacia car park, a short walk from the restaurant. We arrived at a little past 12 pm (when they opened their doors), and already there were a number of tables occupied. Was sat down quickly by a friendly waiter.
Really fresh dim sum. Well cooked in every aspect. Nothing felt stodgy or oily, which is often the case. Generally a good menu, but we felt it was missing the classics, steamed curry squid, and steamed satay whelks, which would have made the menu perfect! Every dish we had though was very satisfying!
Would definitely come again even though it is quite far for us. The quality of the dim sum is as good as from any good restaurant you would get in London china town or Hong Kong! Delicious!! Great food, great service! Keep up the good work, Tong Xin!
the best Chinese restaurant in the region without hesitation I could eat there all week. the food is excellent, the service excellent. just be careful on weekends there are a lot of people. The dim sum 😱😍.
Insider tip - Tongxin opened because the chef in Hutong (in The Shard, one of London's fanciest Chinese restaurants) wanted his own restaurant. The cooking is top quality, better than in Chinatown. Prices are much lower than you usually pay for this quality.
Went here for some dimsum with family on a Sunday in August at around 1.30pm.
We were seen and seated very quickly and, as with any other dimsum, filled in an ordering sheet. We weren't given a menu or drinks menu to start with (perhaps because we looked like regulars), but asked and got it straight away.
The food came out very quickly, and piping hot. Very impressed overall by the quality of the food, larger than normal portion sizes and extra flavours and twists on common dimsum dishes. It definitely tasted fresh and made on site.
We bought about 30 portions/dishes overall for about £160. Would highly recommend the calamari and cha siu bao buns.
This is one of the recommended dim sum restaurants in the south. You cannot find fancy dishes like charcoal custard buns and expensive seafood. What they offer are simple, traditional Guangdong dim sum. Deep fried taro dumplings were crispy and the beef honeycomb are my must-have. Of course, Har Gao and Shao Mai are also must-have in a dim sum restaurant. While the dumpling skin of Har Gao was not al dante and the seasoning of Shao Mai was not good enough on the date we visited.
Came here for dim sum and food wise there is nothing really to fault. The flavours are good, portions generally generous and price is average for dim sum. The restaurant is clean and bright but nothing to write home about about. The service was good overall, the manager is really friendly and always happy, the food came out quickly and except for a couple of the staff, everyone was nice.
If you are craving Chinese food and in the area, this is the place to go.
Stopped here for a mid-week meal and was impressed enough to want yo return! Great menu. Lots of interesting options. Everything we ordered came out fast and was tasty! We were the only table so service was great! 😄 But I'll definitely be going back to try some more of their lovely food!
Great to go to for Dim Sum, haven't been for evening meal, but have got takeaway from here, and the quality is great.
Lots of classic dishes for dim sum, we definitely prefer to visit Tong Xin to some places in London.
Popped in for dim sum on Sunday (October 2022). Great selection of dishes, priced reasonably (comparable to Chinatown), very friendly service and the sign of a good authentic Chinese restaurant... Lots of Chinese customers - small and big groups!
I don't tend to have dim sum a lot, but it did bring back a lot of nostalgia of when I used to go with my family as a kid. The culture, the noises, the feelings/soul of a Chinese dim sum restaurant on a Sunday morning. Amazing!
The restaurant looks small on the outside but extends in quite deep and is actually quite big.
I only moved to Dartford recently so it's great to have such a local restaurant. They also have a 15% discount offer on at the moment - but not sure when the offer ends.
Keep up the great work!
A hidden gem inside Dartford (7 mins walk from train station) and close to M25. Here for Saturday night Chinese new year eve dinner gathering. They are famous for Cantonese cuisines. Highly recommended for fresh seafood: sea bass and scallop.
Came here last month to grab some lunch while on the way to Bluewater!
Good selection of dim sum and other dishes. Dishes are almost the same as what you could usually get in Chinatown but the prices here are slightly cheaper than London.
My favorite was definitely the wat tan ho fun, highly recommend this dish!
I thought it was very chill in the restaurant, not as cramped or noisy compared to when in a Chinatown restaurant. (Though we did go on a weekday and the restaurant is not as big as a lot of the ones we usually go to in Chinatown.)
The service was great! Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. We didn't' have to wait long for the food to come out and it was enough to fill us up.
Had lunch at this venue. Inside the venue is quite large. Had 7 various dim sum dishes. The service was excellent and prompt. Very busy from 12pm as we arrived at 11.30am .Reasonable priced food. I would come back here again.
Very good quality, great tasting authentic Chinese food. Dim sum for lunch is awesome as very few places do it. I think they even have private function rooms for private parties. Definitely my new local goto for Chinese cuisine
Extremely happy. Went for dim sum in this unassuming place, was completely content with the quality, price portion size and variety. Will thinking of an excuse to visit again! Can't fault the place!
Great place to have dim sum if you don’t want to head into Central London or Greenwich. Good service and quality of Dim sum. Parking available nearby
I've ordered takeaway from this restaurant, I was so impressed with the food that I had to bring my adult son for a treat.
The restaurant was quiet in the mid afternoon, the service was so good, I'm disabled, so all the staff were very attentive.
As I promised my son, the food was excellent, but better when shared with family and friends around the table.
Needless to say, we wanted to taste everything, so ordered way too much and had to take some food home. Which meant I had a few days to relish the flavour.
I specifically enjoyed the Dim Sum, there were chunky pieces of prawn and chicken. So delicious.
