It's a small Chinese restaurant with outdoor seating. Food was good. Chicken feet were little tougher. Vermicelli was good but portions were small. Other than that it was good Chinese food

We stayed at the W London and so this was right around the corner from us. It is steps off the beaten path but well worth it for the adventurer. We arrived soon after opening and were seated right away. I advise getting there early as they have a very small number of tables, which filled up quickly. I grew up on and looove Dim Sum. It is the Chinese answer to brunch with a nice full hot pot of tea. We order the Bolay or Pu-Erh tea for its health benefits because this is what my YengYeng (grandmother in my father's side) would order. I like drinking this tea because I feel it helps cut through any fatty/greasy/ fried food. On the white tablecloth, there is a typical menu along with a checklist for Dim Sum, where you mark the items you would like. On average, around €5.50 per dish. The staff quickly provided the hot tea and were eager to take our checklist of goodies. The first item to arrive was our egg custard tart. This arrived warm which was nice. This had a nice flaky crust (my favorite) with a not too sweet custard. You do have to ask for any condiments and I always have hot chili oil and soy sauce with my Dim Sum. The next dish to arrive is my husband's favorite, which is the Pan Fried Turnip Paste with pork and shrimp (The English description is not very appetizing but is similar to potato latkes, I think). The edges were very crispy and nicely browned with the inside being very creamy. The cooking technique was perfect. My only minor disappointment for this dish was the lack of dried shrimp and sausage bits that I normally would find in this dish. Otherwise, still delicious when dipped into the hot chili oil mixed with soy sauce. The deep fried Savory Pork and Shrimp Croquettes for €5 was perfectly cooked as well. If you like the texture of mochi, this may be the dish for you. The outside was light and crispy from being deep fried. The chewy white ground rice enveloped a minced pork and shrimp filling. Lovely. I have eaten many a steamed or baked BBQ pork bao. However, not having Dim Sum for several years, my expectations were very high. As soon as I picked up the steaming hot bao, I knew it was going to be good. Why? Because, the texture of the bao was so light and fluffy not only in my hand, but in my mouth as well. An epic BBQ pork bao! The tables were clean with white tablecloths. The walls were painted a nice soft color accented by large Asian art on the walls that created a lovely and appropriate environment for their very authentic food. You could feel the satisfaction of everyone eating in the room, including me and hubby. Enjoy.

Chinese restaurants are not known for their service especially busy ones like this. The dim sum is quite alright but I have tried a few dim sum places in Chinatown and they all tastes alright so don't bother queuing up for it if there's a huge queue, anyone in Chinatown would do tbh. Highlight was their wine. It wasn't bad at all and it was a good pour - they charged around 6 quid for it which is very surprising. Other than that, nothing really special. We ordered not too much but end up paying around 23 pp so not the cheapest.

Multi-level restaurant in Chinatown/Leicester Square. They were somewhat busy for dinner on a weekend. A good extensive menu. We ordered white rice, Asian veggie, brisket pot, and salt and pepper porkchop. Food came out at a good place. Servers were really nice and spoke English, Cantonese, and Chinese Mandarin. Food was really good, slightly on the pricier side compare to USA.

We were working in Leicester Square and had a craving for an easy lunch that wasn't going to weigh us down. The reviews looked great for Joy King Lau and I'm glad we stumbled across it. It was still busy for a Thursday at 2pm, but there was additional seating upstairs we were able to be seated at. The restaurant was buzzing, but I could tell from the decor and table settings we were in for a for a good meal. The service was quick and you select your dishes on a piece of paper. We went with a variety of steamed dumplings, a chicken noodle dish and a vegetables with garlic / oyster sauce. Everything came out quickly, piping hot and delicious. If you're looking for a quick and delicious meal slightly away from the tourist trappings of Leicester Square this is the spot.

The Chinatown in London is so lit! Many places had long lines. Luckily this place didn't so we stopped by for a light dinner. We ordered the Cantonese style duck and a vegetable dish. The duck was quite tasty with lots of fatty skin, but the pieces didn't have much meat on them. The veggies were nice and garlicky. Huge portion of veggies. Food came super quick.

I have a friend who is even more obsessed with dumplings, including dim sum, then I am, so we were excited to get together to eat some! The food came out a little erratically but generally was enjoyable - the classic har gau, siu mai, cheong fun, char sui buns etc were all good, although I think some of their cooking is a bit sloppy (possibly also they are cooking from frozen). I didn't like the turnip cake but I guess that's probably personal taste. Price is fine. Overall I don't think you'll do much better in Chinatown for dim sum. It's interesting to see from other reviews how mixed the experiences are though. They seemed really keen for us to leave even though no one was waiting for a table - at least you know you won't be waiting for the bill!
