  “I think many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown have just gotten too touristy. Their focus is getting as many in and out as possible and since they are tourists they are not going to return and so the quality suffers. I have yet to find something good in Chinatown”

  “Authentic Cantonese dim sum in the heart of London! We had an absolutely wonderful meal at San Chiu Dim. The food was incredibly fresh, flavourful, and reminded us of proper Hong Kong-style tea houses. Every dish we tried was delicious – from the har gao to the siu mai and cheung fun. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere in Chinatown just added to the experience. We all left full and happy. Will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend to anyone craving real Cantonese dim sum.”

  “Really good Chinese food. We tried the others in the area and what we liked about this place was that the interior (larger tables, air conditioning, etc) and service was better.”

  “A fantastic meal and great service. We were incredibly lucky to get a table on Chinese New Year without a reservation. Our party loved the Chinese lion and the offering that was made. Highly recommended”

  “I came on a Saturday afternoon with a friend to get a rich dim sum. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions pretty generous. Dumplings were really good and the flavours were just perfect. The prawns and scallop ones were my favourite. Great balance between price and quality. I would definitely come back.”

  “We had some dumplings and drinks, they were fine but nothing special. I‘d rather say they were okay-ish. The ambiente was pretty crowded and loud, all table are pretty packed to each other. The toilets were dirty. Also, the staff was very rushed and not very friendly. I had the impression they were glad when we left because they wanted the seats for the next guests.”

  “A surprising Wednesday evening treat for dinner having not visited here before but recommended by friends. A welcoming dining room that's not too crowded and tables not too close. Staff are all friendly, attentive and you don't have to be trying to catch their attention. We had some Dim Sum (in the evening although Chung Fun isn't available post 5pm) together with some "main courses"... All very tasty and of a good quality with distinct flavours. The price point is pretty good especially for Leicester Square so I'd say it's value for money. We will be back. Thank you.”

  “Really nice Dim Sum spot in Chinatown. The smacked cucumber salad was so refreshing and full of flavor, and the salt and pepper tofu was crispy and well seasoned. We also tried a variety of dim sum dishes that were very tasty. Service was great and they ensured we had more hot water for our jasmine tea whenever we ran out. Great place for a casual, tasty meal.”

  “We stumbled upon this place and overall experience was great. We really enjoyed the food. It was delicious, we ordered some dim sum; har gao (clear shrimp dumplings), shui mai (pork filled open dumplings), shrimp churng fun (rice roll), cucumber salad, shao long bao (soup dumplings), beef tripe, salt and pepper crispy tofu, chicken feet, turnip cake, and chrysanthemum tea. Dim sum usually doesn’t seem like much and more like snacks but it filled us up. Service was good too. For an authentic Chinese spot, if you know you know, normally there isn’t much service but the staff was professional, attentive, and respectful. Space seemed kind of small but, decent. It’s good for small or large groups. There is so much in Chinatown in London I would like to explore but, if I was in town again, I’d like to return. Till then, let’s eat!”

  “The food will bring you sadness in every bite. This was an insult to call what we were served Ramen, I’d rather eat a cardboard box. I'd sooner lick a rusty spoon than eat this again. Even the pigeons outside were looking at me with pity. The food promises to make you violently projectile vomit everywhere for day to come.”
