Tasty Fresh food and very friendly staff. Its very authentic food. The wonton soup base i found slightly bland but the dumlings where tasty. The pickle seabas soup was very yummy i enjoyed the pickles alot ! I had a jellyfish and cucumber dish which i liked very much. The prawn toast was so good! Proper chopped prawns in there! The spring rolls where amazing ! The crispy duck was nice and crispy and not fatty, but the pancakes where a little stuck together. The dimsum where tasty, but i think i ordered the wrong kind. They where slightly too large for me i prefer smaller ones with thinner pastry. Next time. The staff where so lovely and helpful and kind they really made the meal special. I would eat here again . I would like to try the dry seabass dish. Yummy

Simply amazing. Most of dishes are outstanding. I came here several times and no matter what I try is awesome. Fish, crab, lobster, noodles soup, desserts, dim sum. Very friendly inside. Highly recommended to book if coming on weekend. One of the best restaurants in the area.

The best Chinese Restaurant in London!!! No doubt of it! We first time came for the dimsum, everything was good and good prices too. Then we came back for the fresh seafood, OMG!!! The best!!! 😍😍😍 We had steaned fish, lobster, crab, prawn, all of them were really really delicious!! We also tried the noodle soup, it was also the best ever! Whatever you ordered, they will just cook it the best possible way. 😍 The staffs are also super friendly and very helpful! Definitely will keep coming back! Keep up the good work! 😉

Authentic, amazing hand-made dim sums which remind me of HK! I especially love the fried bean curd roll (腐皮卷) - definitely beats the quality served in China Town! Thank you for your hospitality - Looking forward to your new dim sums

To my knowledge, the dim sum is handmade in-house with no MSG. It was a refreshing take to Dim Sum, tastes like normal dim sum, just not as salty and oily which is great! However, some may find the dim sum not as flavoursome. Since not a lot of people know about this place, you get to be seated straight away with no wait but I have a feeling once the word gets out, it will start blowing up so go there soon as the restaurant is quite small! One thing which keeps me from going back often is that they don't have a few things I usually love to eat e.g. baby octopus and chicken feet (they didn’t do it during dim sum) ☹️ If you do decide to go, GET THE NOODLE DISH (in pics) This was suggested to us when beef ho fun wasn’t available so I unfortunately didn’t get the name of it.. I assume it’s a mix noodle of some kind. When it arrived I was a little disappointed because it looked it lacked flavour but once I tried it, it quickly changed when I tried it and it was the OPPOSITE of bland, I loved it! PS. PICK THE MANGO SAGO AS DESSERT!!!

Definitely one of the best dim sum restaurants in London. Their Xiao Long Bao and 红油抄手were great, and the dessert (杨枝甘露) was incredibly fresh. Really lovely family that runs the restaurant as well. Worth the 5*s for sure!

Delicious Chinese food! I have been there quite a few times. The dishes were consistently delicious. I highly recommend the dim sum which is always fresh and is handmade by the chef. The sweet and sour pork and the garlic pal Choi were very tasty too. I think this is the only dim sum restaurant in Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe area. I can tell the dishes do not have much MSG in it. It is a family run business and the staff is very attentive and friendly. They do not charge service.

We arrived in London Sunday night after a long flight delay and stumbled across this place on the way to our Airbnb. They were closing up when we showed up but they let us in anyways. The waitress said she saw us with three kids at that late hour and figured we were traveling and hadn’t had a chance to get dinner. The staff stayed late to serve us some delicious food and even accommodated our allergy requirements.

Unexpectedly delightful. Family run restaurant, the dim sum is hand made by the owner. Ordered a range of dim sum and some noodle dishes. Everything was tasty but the dim sum is the star attraction.
