  • HK Diner - Soho

    22 Wardour Street, London W1D 6QQ

    HK Diner

    The portions were more than enough for the two of us. The roast duck gave the soup a delicious flavour. The duck was nice and meaty, with just one inedible piece that consisted of just skin and fat. The tung choi was fresh and a little spicy, with dried shrimp, and not at all stringy (which it can be sometimes).

  • Shanghai Blues - Holborn

    4 7 reviews

    193-97 High Holborn, London WC1V 7BD

    Shanghai Blues

    Shanghai Blues make the best Xiao Long Bao in London. It arrived with a little dish of vinegar dipping sauce and ginger slivers. These were really rather delicious, especially after I’d bitten the tops off and poured more vinegar into them. Being a Shanghainese Food lover - I know the best Xiao Long Bao when I had one. Highly recommended.

  • Baozi Inn - Leicester Square

    4 6 reviews

    25 Newport Court, London WC2H 7JS

    Baozi Inn

    Recently voted as London Best Cheap Eat by Timeout London. All food arrived in substantial bowls and were filling. I ordered beef noodles and they weren’t that spicy at all, despite the chilli oil in the broth, and they could have been more generous with the beef. We were both of the opinion that the pork wontons were a good size and full of flavour. I might go back to try some of the other dishes, like the dan dan mian, as it’s hard to judge a place on just a few dishes (I know I do this all the time!). Dinner was £9 per person, including tip, which was very reasonable for London.

  • Gerrard's Corner - Soho

    Gerrard's Corner

    Gerrard’s Corner is a bog-standard Chinatown restaurant serving bog-standard dim sum. I’m a particularly fussy eater when it comes to dim sum, and this didn’t meet my standards. Wont be going back again, and certainly not recommending this restaurant to anyone.

  • Royal China Restaurant - Docklands

    4 11 reviews

    30 Westferry Circus, London E14 8RR

    Royal China Restaurant

    ‘Alright’ isn’t what you’d expect from Royal China though. Their prices are higher than in Chinatown, but I couldn’t see the difference. Dim sum is such a specialist area that a change of dim sum chef can affect the quality of food at a restaurant, and word spreads fast amongst the local Chinese community when this happens. I like the Canary Wharf location though, so I’m going to give Royal China one more try when it gets warmer, and have some dim sum by the Thames.
