This was a place my family picked for a recent lunch meet up when I was in the area. I can say their choice was great for the delicious food we had. Making a reservation was a good choice as it did get quite busy given their location close to the London Eye and tube station. During my visit I had the gyoza, chicken skewers, and the chicken Katsu bao bun. All of the food was very good and served very quickly. The only downside was service was extremely slow and lacking. We had to ask for items multiple times from silverware all the way to the check at the end.

We were looking for something decent & came across this place so we decided to give it a try. Drinks we had Lemon grass & Lime Mojito both drinks were good nice taste, light on the alcohol. On the food we tried Crispy lemon chicken it was very good , comes w white rice.. the Dim sum also very good next the grilled beef Gyoza , these were good, nice taste when dipped in the sauce. Next smoke chili chicken wings they were good nice tasting sauce & the Ping pong chuckle noodles also very good. This like a lot of places I'd noticed they tend to take your order, charge u & then bring u the food which I guess works well. This place has more of a cafeteria feel a casual & laid back place. Service was good, decent prices we enjoyed our meal. Review #1800

My best friend and I were hungry and managed to find this place and let me tell you it was so delicious!! Our server Josh was kind and attentive. The food is BANGING! Highly recommend the flaming phoenix (it's spicy but not too spicy for me but then again I eat really spicy food all the time ) and the chicken xialongbong. If you see it I'd recommend giving it a try.

Posh, Asian, and pretty darn authentic, if I know my Asian food. The interior is swanky enough, but my favorite section is the enclosed patio next to the indoor dining area, which comes complete with decorative hanging flowers, heaters, and blankets to get cozy during those cold Winter months. A quick perusal of the menu shows that the prices aren't bad; unless you're really hungry, in which case, they will add up fast. The menu features all things Dim Sum, as well as other semi-authentic Chinese dishes, teas, and yes, signature cocktails. The ordering system they have is also reminiscent of some Chinatown restaurants I've been in; you get a checklist of all the menu items, and you tick off everything that you want. It's not that easy for a first-timer, but the staff is friendly enough to help you locate your preferred items. Much as I like Dim Sum, I was feeling neither the portions nor the prices, so I went with the Honeyed Chili Chicken on a bed of Jasmine rice and veggie Spring Rolls with a spicy mango dipping sauce. Sounds amazing, right? It kind of was. The chicken didn't look all that appetizing to me, but the food definitely packed on the flavor, thanks to all those spices. I also ordered one of their Jasmine & Lily Flowering Teas, but truth be told- affordable though it was- it was so tasteless, I wouldn't order it again. But then, maybe I'm just not a tea person. A quick FYI for those of you with allergies out there: While they do try to accommodate everyone and keep their kitchens allergen-free, they do use the same stuff to make all the food, so if you're allergic to anything, it's probably best if you don't eat here. Their words, not mine.

I LOVE the sumday sunday AYCE dim sum. you can choose from a lot of option on the menu, not all of it but good amount. the dim sum isnt the most authentic but it tastes great. We thought about it all the time when we went back to New York and always go back whenever we visit.
