About Beijing Dumpling
On Lisle St in London, Beijing Dumpling is a wood-panelled dumpling restaurant with a narrow room and traditional Chinese fare alongside its housemade dumplings. Xiao Long Bao are made fresh to order and can be watched through the window while waiting outside, with vinegar for them available on request. Pork and chicken dumplings come with delicate wrappers and juicy filling, and chicken fried rice and noodles arrive with separate, non-clumpy grains. Beef Chow Fun is another regular order. Ordering runs on a paper checklist marked with items and quantities rather than spoken to staff, and the restaurant takes walk-ins only. A queue is typical, particularly in the evenings and on weekends. Portions across the menu are generous.

Customer Review Summary
Xiao Long Bao draw the most attention here, though opinions split: several diners call the soup dumplings expertly made with the perfect amount of broth, one even noting they're Michelin winning and can be watched being made while waiting outside, but one reviewer found the skin too thick and doughy and had to ask three times before being given vinegar. Close behind, the chicken fried rice and noodles are praised as flavorful and freshly prepared rather than reheated, and the Beef Chow Fun and deep-fried soft shell crab also draw specific praise. Reviewers repeatedly mention queues at busy times, though most report quick seating and fast-arriving food thanks to a checklist-style paper ordering system. Staff are generally called friendly and prompt, though one reviewer describes the service as a bit grumpy. Portions and generous ingredients come up often, with diners noting they ordered extra or ate until full.

“Fantastic food. Can’t really say anything else. The service is always with Chinese restaurants a bit grumpy. Good prices compared to other places around China town”

“The food at Beijing Dumpling was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was so tasty that I honestly couldn’t stop eating. 😂 I even had to order an extra rice because the food was just too good to leave behind! Such a satisfying meal and one of those places where you leave already thinking about coming back. Definitely a great find in London and somewhere I’d happily eat at again. ❤️🥟”

“This is among the best Chinese eateries in Chinatown. The food is delicious and authentic. The staff are professional and friendly and the service is very prompt. It can get quite busy in the evenings, especially on weekends.”

“The food was just fantastic and so tasty ! The portions were huge, we highly recommend it. It was also really easy to order thanks to the paper they give you and they make sure you don’t have any allergies, that was much appreciated. Cannot wait to be back in London to grab dinner there once again.”
