I have been dining at this restaurant since I was a small child, so nearly 24 years now, I feel like I have grown here, the staff taught me to use my first set of chop sticks and have greeted me by my name everytime I come back, the food is amazing and the service is quick and the food is authentic to the meals I would eat in China, a country my father originates from, if you're looking for good authentic Chinese food with amazing friendly staff and professional service, this is the place to be. Also dim sum on a Sunday is to die for. Fully recommend!

We had our staff Xmas party 🎉 in January( we are in the hospitality business) in the wonderful function room. We had a fantastic buffet for 80 persons, DJ and Karoke. All staff have said it's the best party yet . Thank you Linda, Jimmy and Steve

The best choices in the region for authentic Cantonese dim sum. You could find more special dim sum if you visit here on Sunday, including Crispy Fried Dough Stick, Egg Custard Tarts, Char Siu Pastries etc. The deep fried cuttlefish cakes are really recommended. Staff are generally nice and price is fair.

1st time visiting, lovely family run traditional Chinese restaurant. Beautiful food and great staff. We was looked after by tony and he told us about the restaurants history and recommended a steamed sponge dessert which was delicious. Thank you for a great night.

We had the most fabulous meal here last night. Every dish was cooked to perfection, but the Dim Sum and the fresh, (gigantic) crab were particularly amazing! The service couldn't have been any better, we had the perfect evening, highly recommended!

We visited this restaurant last month. We traveled from the US and only at Southend on sea for 1 night. We went there for dinner and ended up returning the next afternoon for lunch before we left Southend on sea because we really liked the food. We ordered congee, rice and noodles, and some dim sum. They were all amazing! It was very authentic but not expensive. It reminded us of the food we ate at home! It was way better than the Chinese restaurants in the US. The service was superb. All of the waiters/ waitresses spoke fluent Cantonese and English. When we went there, it was almost fully booked, so I believe this restaurant is very popular in the town. If we travel to the UK again in the future, we will definitely travel to Southend on sea for this restaurant!

Dim sum at the beach. Service was great and the food was even better. I was really impressed by the homemade deep fried squid cake and the fried turnip cake in XO sauce. Had a light lunch and then off to walk the beach.

Dim sum was really tasty, only negative was the prawn dumplings. The pastry was damaged. Service was really good. Definitely will go back.

Lived in Southend all my life and this was my first visit to this restaurant and won't be my last. Service, food atmosphere was amazing. The food was fresh and delicious. We didn't book and it is reservations only but they managed to fit us in which was amazing. When we left the restaurant was full. One of the best chinese restaurants I've been too. Worth a visit!

The dim sum there was surprisingly delicious, in fact in my opinion it is much better than most in London. We went there for late lunch on a lovely weekend, the door said "reservation only", but we tried our luck as it wasn't too busy around 2pm, the owner gave us a table. Staff was friendly and paid attention to details. The prawn paste stuffed eggplant with black bean sauce was delicious. Glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leave was moist and tasty. BBQ pork buns and Cha Xiu (BBQ) rice noddle rolls were nice. Beef balls can be a pass. Two of us had 5 dim sum together which was quite filling. The final bill was GPB 34 which is much better value than others in London. If one happens to visit Southend, worth to try. Parking was a little challenge on the weekend, we were lucky as someone was leaving. A nice stroll by the water after a satisfying meal would be a bonus.
