About Loon Fung Chinatown
Loon Fung Chinatown is a Chinese supermarket in Chinatown, London, at 42-44 Gerrard St, with a butcher counter, a fishmonger and a bakery under one roof. The shelves hold fresh vegetables, spices, sauces, snacks, frozen food, fresh tofu, noodles and wonton wrappers, and the shop also stocks tableware and kitchen tools. The butcher counter sells cuts through to pig ears. The bakery offers coconut buns with cream, roast pork buns and pineapple buns. Upstairs and down, a restaurant serves dim sum across three floors, and lunch brings the widest choice on the menu. Shoppers pay through a single queue at checkout.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the range of Asian ingredients, with fresh vegetables, tofu, noodles, wonton wrappers, curry sauces, spices and a butcher and fishmonger counter all named. Close behind is the bakery, where the coconut buns with cream, big but light and fluffy, get the strongest praise, along with roast pork buns with visible pieces of pork and an authentic satay sauce. Several others praise the dim sum, describing fresh, fast dishes, friendly staff and a good range, and one suggests coming for lunch because the variety changes later in the day. The caveats recur. The shop is narrow and feels packed, leaving little room to browse, and one reviewer found the stock and range short of the best. One finds the cashiers uninterested and another calls prices steep. A diner found the sweet and sour pork portion very small, though the stir-fried morning glory with garlic was tender. One regular notes the move to a single checkout queue.

“One of the most satisfying Chinese dining experiences I’ve had in London! My friend and I visited without any particular expectations. Unlike some other popular Chinese restaurants with long queues, this place was relatively quiet. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. The dishes arrived quickly, the ingredients were fresh, the flavours were excellent, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I’ve been here once or twice before, but the quality seems to have improved significantly this time. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I’m very happy we gave this place a try!”

“The selections are great. You can find majority of items that you need and you can also find them quite easy. However I wouldn’t say the stock level and the range are the best there. Also the store inside is really narrow, and feels packed constantly with amount of people inside. The staff especially those at cashier look like aren’t really interested in their jobs too.”

“Organized and plentiful selection of Chinese goods! Came here for the tofu and they have plenty! The store is small so not a whole lot of walking/browsing room , especially when it is picked with customers.”
