  “Leong's legends is quite simply my favourite place in Chinatown, and is a regular restaurant for me and several friends due to it's unbeatable prices and great tasting food! The Timeout offer for Dim Sum is undeniably the best value around, and some of my favourites include the Pine Nut and Vegetable Crystal buns, the pan fried chicken dumplings and my personal favourite, the Black truffle and pork Xiao long bao. We've been here multiple times, and will continue to do so. I would happily recommend to anyone!”

  “The xiaolongbao were definitely a highlight. The soup-filled ones had so much broth inside that they even came with a straw to drink the soup! The crab roe xiaolongbao were also delicious, with a lovely crab aroma and plenty of savoury, juicy filling. The beer chicken was another favourite. The chicken is skinless and boneless, fried first and then braised with beer, so you get a nice slightly crispy and aromatic exterior while the meat stays tender and absorbs all the flavour from the sauce. I was also pleasantly surprised by the ginger duck. It had a lovely ginger and herbal aroma with a subtle sweetness in the finish. The beef noodles were comforting and flavourful as well. I’d definitely come back for the xiaolongbao and beer chicken!”

  “Had the Giant Xiao Long Bao (£9.80) and it was really fun, juicy ans fresh with the right amount of chew. Also went for the Pork Bun/Gua Bao (£8.50) which was super tasty. Great attentive service & nice indoor decor.”

  “We had an amazing dim sum lunch today at Leong's in Chinatown. We went for Time Out's bottomless dim sum and were not disappointed at all. Our favourite is Fried bean curd with shrimps - absolutely delicious and each piece was packed with shrimps, so good that we ordered it twice! How it works is, 3 dishes each in the 1st round, then 2 each in the 2nd, than 1 each in the 3rd and thereafter. By the end of the 2nd round we'd already had 10 dim sum between us. We were completely full when we walked out the restaurant. All staff are polite and attentive. When we were there, there was a group of 20 people came in for lunch and they were not distracted at all. The lunch cost £24.95 each including a glass of prosecco, you pay 12.5% service charge at the end of the meal. Where can you get 12x dim sum for £56.5 in London? We'll definitely go again. (just google Timeout bottomless dim sum). Thank you to the lovely gentlemen at the bar today.”

  “The dimsum all you can eat is worth it if you like prawns and pork. I love prawns and pork. Most of the dimsum choices are variations of these two main proteins. My favourite is the beancurd rolls! But, everything else is good. Service is very attentive mostly because it wasn't busy. We befriended one of the staff and she gave us a free bottle of beer. Thank you! Overall, you cannot go wrong here. Spot is super cosy considering it's China town. Nothing is rushed but you have to because the buffet is timed. But we gave up ordering even with time to spare.”

  “The TimeOut dim sum offer was an absolute gem. Great range of options from high quality Cantonese classics (e.g. 虾饺皇 prawn dumplings, 韭菜饺 chives & prawn dumplings, 鲜虾腐皮卷 Beancurd-skin rolls stuffed with shrimp) to northern staples. The black truffle & pork soup dumplings (黑松露小籠包) in particular were a highlight - rich flavours with generous pork fillings wrapped skilfully in a thin flour skin. Warm service from the lunch shift nice auntie as well. With a drink included, the experience was undoubtedly our London favourite.”

  “Lovely and friendly staff. I came here with my little brother and they made him feel so comfortable ordering. The food options were 10/10 and the hospitality was great. We’ll definitely be back☺️”

  “I won a £100 voucher from China Town and chose for me and my loved ones to go here! Started off well, ended up bad. The place is a little cramped but it’s not too bad! The food was lovely, but the crispy salt and pepper calamari 🦑 🐙 dish was sadly salty. We also ordered the slow braised beef briskets with mixed veg 🥘, Egg fried rice 🍚 - those two together were delicious! Then we finally got the crispy aromatic duck 🍗 and the special stir fried lamb with morning glory ☀️ The food had us all bonding for sure but… As we had a server come over when we needed help, she came with a racist mouth. What she said did not need to be said. That’s all I’m going to say 😒 then her co worker had the audacity to ask for a tip because we used a £100 voucher. We weren’t definitely not giving a tip after that. Ruined our experience.”

  “The food itself is standard for Chinatown, maybe even on the better side. However, the service we got during Saturday lunch was really bad. Our dim sum came about 30 minutes before everything else we ordered, so I followed-up with a waiter. When it finally came, no apology or anything. When we asked for some chilli sauce, another one of the waiters seemed more concerned with splitting a bill (which could have easily been done on a calculator), so it never came. He even came to the table asking if we still needed it, rather than bringing it and apologising. We removed the service charge thankfully. It’s a shame because I used to enjoy coming here. There are better alternatives in Chinatown.”

  “Booked a table for 2 (weekday lunch) after getting a voucher for bottomless dimsum via Time out! It was a busy day in Chinatown and Leong's was bustling. Took my bestfriend for a date. Staff are amazing, attentive and fast services. We had 90minutes but we didnt take that all up aad we're full. The selection was amazing, not limited to just dimsums. They have cheung fun and noodles and congee too. You can choose the free drink from prosecco to juices. We saved the best for the last round, we got the spicy pork xiao long bao and the juicy pork bun. Special mention the prawn fillwd dimsums too. Great price for a very good food. ❤️ Definitely coming back to try other”
