I went to this restaurant for the first and last time about a week ago. We were seated in the downstairs 'dungeon' next to the very busy bar, where staff do the washing up and chat constantly. It was draughty and extremely dark. We were not given any advice on the food whatsoever, the staff couldn't have cared less about... More

We had the fixed price £20 a head Hotpot which is a soup heated on the table by a gas burner, into which you cook your own ingredients which are supplied raw. The soup came in a half 'n half cooker, one side with a chilli-based spicy broth, the other a non-spicy plain broth. A number of ingredients were served,... More

I have been to Beijing Dumplings in several occasions with my boyfriend but we decided not to go there anymore, despite the food is cheap and good quality, due to the horrible service. During my last visit I was trying to remind one of the male short hait managers about something missing from our order and he ignored us, looked... More

This was my third visit which is a must when I am in London. We were one of the first customers when it opened at midday and were greeted by a very welcoming, smiling cheerful lady in chef's whites who was busy making dim sum in the preparation area by the restaurant window. A pity all the staff aren't like... More

We really enjoyed a delicious dumpling dinner here with friends one Friday night. We had to wait a little to be seated but that was no problem as our friend told us it was worth the wait and she was right. Service was normal, nothing to note, good or bad. The food was really delicious and we washed it down... More

I visited this one evening on my own, after my daunting walk around busy Soho , trying to find a restaurant, I would feel comfortable in, on my own. I was drawn to this by the smiley staff in the window, busily making dumplings. After watching them and reading the menu, I decided to give it a go. I was... More

I'm a frequent visitor to this restaurant with friends and family and I've never been disappointed, the food is consistently good, served quickly and it's excellent value. The service can be a bit brusque in my experience, but I'm not really bothered, it adds to the charm. A single vegetable dishes is enough for 2 or 3 people, but I... More

Staying in London with husband and Son (Aged 8) decided we wanted a Chinese and thought China town was the place to be, however with so much choice it was difficult to decide. We chose this place solely on food hygiene rating (5!) as you will you see if you look this seems very rare amongst the other restaurants. We... More

This restaurant was a good find as previous visits to Chinatown have proved very disappointing. The service was good, they were attentive and the food arrived on time. Unfortunately I think we made some bad choices with the food, ordering a vegetarian set menu, the first two courses were good, but the third was incredibly bland and samey. The ladies'... More

The restaurant is basic but comfortable. And we had an excellent meal here, scoring very highly for the quality of food and service, and great value for money.
