  “The iced lemon tea is 7 pounds! Not worth it. The roasted pork rice is ok but the roasts pork is only ok level. The steam pork rib is very good.”

  “Utterly ripped off!Came in for a quick snack late at night.Hostess was almost aggressive.Kept waving her hand at us to come over,no smile,no “hello”,threw some menus on the table and snapped “30 minutes”.We heard another couple who came in later on say exactly the same thing.If you don’t want customers at this time of night,then you should close earlier. We ordered some dim sum and they asked us if we wanted some dipping sauce so we said yes.No mention of the fact it was £5 extra.I have rarely been to restaurants who charge extra for sauce and,if they do,they will always tell you so - so this felt very sneaky and underhanded.They also had that they charge service charge in very small writing which we missed.I will hold my hands up and admit we should have looked more carefully. They make you pay before you get the food (that should have been our first clue!) and I don’t recall them bringing an itemised bill,just the card machine.Again,our fault for not looking more carefully at the time,but we only registered it slightly after - we had been charged an additional £7+ on what we had expected!We also saw that the table next to us had been charged for takeaway boxes!! The food was quite tasty and arrived promptly,so that was a positive.However this was the last part of a lovely night out and we left on a down note feeling like we had just been scammed.Very disappointing and pretty unethical.Photo of the £5 dipping sauce with teaspoon for scale provided.”

  “Four of us came for a girls catch up and had a fantastic experience. Kim was incredibly friendly, attentive and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. She looked after us throughout the evening and made sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious. The rest of the staff were also warm and helpful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you!”

  “We pop in here to eat at this restaurant with my family. The service was quick; they found us a table and took our orders correctly. We waited a little while for our food, but that was understandable as there were many large groups at the time. The food that arrived looked delicious and tasted great. I enjoyed the dessert, while my family particularly liked the duck; they said it was very tasty. The price is reasonable for a group. If you're walking around Soho, stopping by this Chinese restaurant is a great idea, in my opinion.✨🍲”

  “Had such a lovely girls’ get together here. The food was great, the atmosphere was lovely, and it had a nice homely feel to it. The service was outstanding. A special thank you to Kim, the manager for taking such good care of us, she made us feel very welcome. The rest of the team were brilliant too, friendly and attentive throughout. Everything was spot on. Would definitely come back. Highly recommended.”

  “We stopped by this restaurant while walking around and decided to give it a try. The food was genuinely good—the Peking duck was excellent, and the shrimp dim sum were also very tasty. Unfortunately, the service was quite unusual. As soon as we sat down, our server told us three separate times that next time we should enter through her, even though there were no barriers and we had simply walked in from the street. We were also told that if we chose to sit outside, we had to pay for our order immediately, including the service charge, before receiving any service. The strangest moment was when we ordered one large pot of tea to share. We asked for a second cup, but were told we would have to pay an extra £3.50 just for the additional cup. Communication was also difficult because our server spoke very limited English. While trying to explain whether the duck contained bones, she grabbed and squeezed my little finger quite hard, which felt uncomfortable and unexpected. Overall, the food was worth trying, but the service made the experience much less enjoyable.”

  “Simple settings but good food and great value. I came here with my dad 4 years ago and we are back here again with friends and family years later. Still a great taste and value. We loved the whole peeking duck and the seafood dinsum was amazing. I came back the next day for more dimsum. Check them out.”

  “I visited Gerrard’s Corner in Chinatown and found it to be a very classic, old-school Chinese restaurant right in the heart of the area. The space is quite large and has that traditional banquet-style feel—simple, a bit dated, but lively and always busy. The menu focuses on Cantonese dishes, especially dim sum, which is probably the highlight here. Some dishes are tasty and well-prepared, but overall the food can be a bit inconsistent depending on what you order. Service feels quite fast-paced and a little impersonal at times, especially during busy hours. It’s the kind of place where things move quickly rather than somewhere you’d go for a relaxed dining experience. Prices are fairly typical for central London, but the value might not always match expectations. Still, if you’re looking for a convenient, no-frills Chinese meal in Chinatown, it’s an easy and accessible option.”

  “We came there with my friend to grab lunch. The service looked a bit stressed and overwhelmed. My noodles were tasty and the portions are huge, my friend took it for take away. The soup wasn’t what I expected but I should have known that it will be clear broth which I am not a fan of. I find this place very overpriced. The toilet is tiny and could be looked after more. Tap water was very bad… don’t ask for it.”
