  “Really nice dim sum, super authentic and tasty without having to travel into Chinatown. The cheung fung definitely a highlight, the prawn and crispy bean curd a great texture, and the char siu really nice. Taro croquettes (Wu Gok) super crispy outside, and the xo turnip cake really nice and pan fried. Only negative would be the chicken feet and ribs over rice only came with one chicken feet when the menu made it seem like it was a mix and multiple of each. It was cooked fresh to order though.”

  “An absolute must go to of ours and if you're around the area and fancy some Dim Sum then you should try it too. I'm a big fan of the turnip cake, Shanghai dumplings, various bean curd options and Cheung fun (prawn). Friendly staff and very good value. Drop in and try for yourself.”

  “Great dim sum and good service. I absolutely loved the cucumber salad and the tea as you come in was great too.”

  “Delicious Dim Sum Chinese food at a reasonable price compared to Chinatown in central London. Some restaurants rush their cooking and some skimp on portion size but this doesn’t. I’ve eaten at many Asian restaurants and this one was wonderful! Taro croquettes, Har Gau prawn dumplings, Prawn Cheung Fun rice rolls, jellyfish, beef ho fun flat wide rice noodles, pork ham siu gok dumplings and many more options to choose from. Clean, quiet, on the end of Deptford high street. Highly recommend ☺️”

  “Came here for some yummy Cantonese-style roast duck, and it didn’t disappoint. As a Cantonese person, I thought the duck and roasted pork belly were very authentic; I felt like I was back in Canton! The morning glory was good too, and I’d also recommend the stir-fried beans. The service was great, and the staff can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I haven’t tried the dim sum yet, but it looked delicious on other guests’ tables. A family of three got really full, and the total came to £75.44. There was a 12.5% service charge. Tip: There is 10% off if you pay in cash!”

  “It was my first time visiting the Tea House restaurant. The dim sum was amazing and I don't think I have to go to Chinatown anymore!!! The location is close to my place (by bus or on foot) and they accept bookings! It means I don't have to queue up for 30+ minutes on the street. However, the food and service were great. Definitely will be back soon! :)”

  “Tea House serves affordable, delicious dishes all day long. The Crab Roe Soup Dumplings are bursting with flavor, the Vietnamese Rolls are light and refreshing, and the Cantonese Stir-Fried Pork is perfectly savory with a hint of spice. Don’t miss the crispy yet tender Roast Duck or the fragrant Radish Cake. Great value for such amazing taste!”

  “This is such a great local restaurant. Best to book for dim sum at weekend, although staff very friendly trying to accommodate walk ins but prefer you book as will have to wait until table free. Good variety and value for money. King prawn and tofu skin Cheung fun is perfect, good meaty prawns, crispy tofu and soft and not greasy. Taro croquettes light and crispy with generous filling. Turnip cake in xo sauce is great texture and well cooked. Good balance with every dish. Lovely crispy ginger in fish congee. Works out about £20 per person for generous amount of dim sum and tea each. Nice booths and tables. Toilets clean and accessible. Good for families, friends and couples. Canteen style simple decor. Very friendly and helpful staff. Free parking at carpark next to library on Sundays.”

  “Been here a few times for dim sum and so far the best tasting and most authentic HK style. The restaurant is very small compared with other establishment in the S/E London and the surrounding area is not the most appealing. Weekday it is busy but never have to book or wait for a table, weekend it will be full house and noisy. I do not recommend sitting at the booth seats as the sofa bench is miles away from the table so you will not be comfortable. Food is excellent, any dishes with prawn will be good. Price is reasonable and good value for money as each bite is full of meat and flavour. See the photos, usually each plate comes with 3 pieces, some photos shows 6 as we ordered 2 plates etc. Forget the roast meats, duck, roast pork are just ok la. Parking near by is around 3.50 an hour, Plenty of spaces at Frankham Street and then less than 5 minutes walk. Staff there speak a mix of Cantonese, Chinese and English. Only ever had lunch there but apparently they serve dim sum and other main dishes all day.”

  “Wow!! By far the best Dim Sum I’ve had in London. Everything is so freshly cooked and tasty. The flavours are all very individual and don’t blend into one unalike other Dim Sum I’ve had elsewhere. It also digested well afterwards which suggests very high quality and not overzealous use of MSG. We had a wide variety of dim sum as you can see by my pictures that included various prawn, pork, beef dumpling, chicken feet, congee, turnip and sweet dishes. The custard tarts were amazing! Staff were efficient and polite. The decor inside is very nice and everything was clean. We’ll definitely be returning soon again for another meal.”
