  “I was really looking forward to the food here but the quality was really mediocre. The XLB were so subpar and wrapped so carelessly, the meat for the charsiew & duck was sooo dry, the beef hor fun was edible at best. Ambience was great, toilet was really clean, but definitely not returning. Perhaps as a Chinese, I had really high standards, but it will be a pass for me.”

  “Really chill spot at the back of a Chinese supermarket. My boyfriend and I tried a few dishes and everything was so good! We had the congee, wonton soup, pork bao, and scallop dim sum. The bao were amazing — super fluffy and tasty! The staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.”

  “📍 A hidden gem inside the Chinese supermarket! Perfect spot if you’re craving yum cha and want that authentic Chinese food experience 🥢 1. Congee – Pork with Preserved Egg (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🥹🍚 Silky congee, tender pork – ultimate comfort food! 2. Turnip Puffs (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🥟✨ Crispy outside, soft turnip strips inside. My fave! 3. Prawn, Scallop & Peashoot Dumpling (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🦐🌱 Fresh and tasty. 4. Pan-Fried Turnip Cake (⭐️⭐️) 😕 Didn’t taste fresh, but 👍 staff helped us cancel it. 5. Rice Roll with BBQ Roast Pork (Cheung Fun) (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🐖🍜 Silky rice rolls + flavourful roast pork + soy sauce = yum! 6. Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🦀🥟 Juicy, soupy dumplings – vinegar dip makes it extra! 7. Oolong Tea (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 🍵 A must for proper yum cha vibes. 💯 Friendly service, delicious food, cozy vibes. Definitely coming back again!”

  “Quite like coming here from time to time for the dim sum. Mostly because it’s convenient due to its location above the Loon Fung Asian supermarket and for the parking. However, the dim sum is a bit of a mixed bag. Their har gow (crystal prawn dumpling) is sub par with a thick skin but some of their other dishes are decent enough (such as the fried taro dumplings and their beef cheung fun). It’s about average and prices are similar to some other (better) establishments in China Town (and the one on Baker Street). Service is friendly and efficient.”

  “We recently enjoyed some dim sum that was recommended by family, and it was such a delightful experience! The dim sum menu had a fantastic variety, and we loved every dish that came out, all served at just the right pace. The restaurant itself has a cozy vibe while still being spacious enough for a good number of guests. I’d definitely suggest making a reservation! The staff were amazing—super friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome, which added so much to our overall dining experience. Plus, there's plenty of parking and easy access, which is a big plus. Honestly, it’s the best value for money we’ve found in terms of both quality and quantity. Payment in cash has 10% discount. Credit card is accepted but no discount.”

  “Had lunch here with friends. Food: some dishes are mediocre. Recommend the cha siu rice, the meat is very tasty and not dry. The mango cheesecake cake is delicious, very creamy and smooth with mango bits incorporated inside. We were not keen on the turnip paste cubes and crispy seafood noodles. The turnip paste dim sum was deep fried, not the usual method. The noodles were tasteless and super salty. Siu mai and cheung fun was ok. Service was very friendly, and deducted the noodles from our bill. I would go back next time I’m in the area.”

  “We ordered completely off the dim sum menu rather than the main one but are keen to go back to try that too! This is some of the best dim sum I've had in a long time. The congee especially, was very flavourful and a good consistency. Lovely and fresh and the staff were attentive and friendly. They had our booking via Google no problem, even with modified dates. The restaurant is a nice size, small enough to still be cosy but there was still plenty of seating space. The venue is right above the Alperton Loon Fung Asian supermarket so there's lots of parking and it's very accessible.”

  “Went there for dim sum and starters only as we had other plans after. The dim sum were tasty, tasted fresh and handmade. The husband and wife serving us were very lovely so we decided to add a hot and sour soup as well. This was disappointing, however the lady did offer us a dessert in the end which was a lovely cheesecake. Overall we loved the atmosphere, dim sum and service. But the prices are even higher than China Town in London and portions are tiny. Paying just under £2 per tiny dumpling? Can't go here as a regular as would be way to expensive, would go there again on a special occasion.”

  “If I could rate this restaurant 11/10 I would! My sister and I brought my mum here to celebrate Mother’s Day. We came on the Monday to avoid it being too busy and it was perfect. A lovely quiet atmosphere. It was our first time here and it definitely won’t be our last! The food was superb! We are fussy eaters but we loved every single dish that we had! Our favourites were the satay chicken,( super flavoursome and well cooked) , prawn and chive dim sums ( just wow!), salt and pepper prawns and prawn noodles. From the dessert menu we chose the mango cheesecake and the fried custard buns. We were in heaven! Absolutely delicious! We were offered Jasmine tea too which was a lovely touch! The staff were very welcoming, friendly and super attentive. I wish I got their names as they were lovely and deserve to be recognised for their service. We can’t wait to visit again and recommend it to our friends and family!”

  “My favourite restaurant, nothing else even comes close - including other Dim Sum restaurants in London. The food here is incredible, the best value for money in terms in quality and quantity. Been going here for over 5 years, brought lots of people and everyone loves it and wants to come back. It's busy particularly at the weekends but worth it, staff are lovely and will let you order off different menus/make changes for you happily. They have a reduced menu online so I'd recommend collection or visiting in person if possible - would particularly recommend the duck spring rolls which are the best I've ever had. Heavenly.”
