  “Had a lovely time with my family for my brother’s birthday. Food so good and beautifully served that nobody took any pictures of main food, we just dived in. Highly recommended. Will come back, definitely.”

  “The restaurant itself feels a little oppressive with it dark moody lighting, even during a lovely sunny day they have dark closed curtains. The food was disappointing. Anything deep fried had a taste of old oil. Amongst the plates we had, the 2 duck dishes (shredded; and with pancakes) it was obvious that the duck was not freshly cooked that day. It had that older roast meat taste and feel to it. The octopus balls were just balls of clag with very little octopus within. They had the consistency of wall-paper paste and I found half a centimetres of a really small tentacle within. They were really quiet offensive to the mouth. An unpleasant dining experience with mediocre food. A nice cocktail list but we didn't try any to review those.”

  “Dumpling library is an Asian fusion restaurant, it mainly serves dishes in small plates or as tapas , they however have a few selection of rice and noodles dishes , while all the food taste very very good , the showstopper are the drinks , they are very nice and presented very well. While they have a lot of indoor seating area , their outdoor seating needs a minimum purchase of £200 ( for the pods) it’s moderately priced and slightly expensive but still worth the try. My personal favourite was the beef udon noodles”

  “Had high hopes for this place because the decor is lovely and the atmosphere felt really nice when we arrived. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations for us. We ordered the crab and pork xiao long bao and the chicken dumplings, but both were pretty disappointing. I’ve definitely had better dumplings elsewhere. We also tried the breadcrumbed chicken breast with the spicy peanut yoghurt, but there was nothing remotely spicy about it and the sauce mostly just tasted like plain yoghurt. The cocktails were probably the highlight. The Library Signature cocktail was delicious, although it didn’t really taste like it had much alcohol in it. My partner’s whiskey cocktail was also quite nice. Overall, I wouldn’t return for the food, though it’s possible we just didn’t order the most popular dishes on the menu.”

  “Visited Dumpling Library for dinner. The staff were extremely sweet. We ordered a sweet corn with crab soup, rainbow dumplings (5 varieties- 1 pc each) and duck with vegetable fried rice. The food was made fresh and was delicious. One must visit. The ambience is so cozy and beautiful.”

  “took advantage of the £37.95 deal and had a fantastic feast! the highlight of the meal obviously was the dumplings but also the cocktails were also a great compliment to the whole experience! a fun thing to note is if you pay with cash you get a free shot which was a fun way to end the meal! also the staff were very attentive and understanding!”

  “Food was somewhat okay, not a big fan, with is being judged by a Chinese person, checking out the authentic Chinese food, honestly could be better quality, was delicious but not good enough to warrant a come back. Service was somewhat different, it's a packed restaurant but barely any severs checking on us throughout.”

  “Gorgeous place! Amazing food. Went for the first time and was pleasantly impressed with the quality of service and food. Cocktails were great too. Lovely staff and very polite. Food was really quick to come out. Would go again. It is expensive but worth every penny ⭐️”

  “A lovely little place to have good asian food. The food, drinks and ambience were really good. We had their special dumpling , baobun, and bibimbap.. Tbh I have had better dumplings , but their bibimbap was just flavourful and tasty. The lovely waiter mixed the spices and bibimbap all well that it bursts with flavour in the 1st bite itself. 1 star less only because the dumplings didn't hit the hype I was expecting but wasn't bad. Overall on the pricier side, probably coz of the location being in the city center, But worth a visit.”

  “Great place for a celebration or a group dinner. Food was good, ambience was amazing! We were given a pod to sit in - POD like a London eye has. Service was excellent and cocktails were delicious and creative. 10/10 would recommend”
