Justine B.August 15, 2014Delicious dim sum : soft and fresh. The other dishes are also very nice, especially the egg fried rice and deep fried chicken. Best in Chinatown so far.
Paola MelloSeptember 27, 2015Come here very often for the classic pork and steamed prawn dumplings - goes very well with Tiger Beer. Service and atmosphere are very, very poor though.
Anna KelišováMarch 10, 2019The best of dumplings & perfect stone bowl full of premium seafood & silken tofu😍😍
Matteo FogliApril 24, 2018Homemade dumplings, varied Chinese cooking. First time here but everything I tried was good and tasted genuine
Michelle WilesMarch 17, 2019I don’t know why this place doesn’t have a 9 rating. Dim sum is excellent
James WhatleyJuly 25, 2015Been here a couple of times now and it's definitely one of the better restaurants in China Town. Enjoy!
Nicola DLDecember 7, 2014Despite the other opinions, the food was good and standard with other prices around China Town (can't compare with All you can eat Menus)
Try a wide range of Xiao Long Bao - exceptionally tasty at this spot. Warning: avoid spicy pork Xiao Long Bao unless you wanna burn.🔥💥💀
Jim BanksMarch 13, 2016Not the cheapest Chinese restaurant, but the food was top notch, service was really good and had a nice vibe. Busy though, so expect to wait
Gaby ZdApril 6, 2016Absolutely the best place to go for dim sum! Steamed prawn ones are all time favourites.
Benni PrinzSeptember 3, 2013I am shocked about the comments below... Food was excellent and the service was fine. Soup dumplings are highly recommended.
Ana LaraOctober 4, 2014The dumplings with soup inside are great!! Totally an experience to eat them properly!- Elias GerstmayrJanuary 31, 2017Great dumplings, also try the choisum in garlic sauce and the spicy pork.
Quality has been fluctuating for a bit recently but the food is good. Perk: open till 3am!
- Lee ProvoostDecember 4, 2011Best dim sum place in China Town in my opinion. The servings are pretty big (often 8 instead of the usual 3).
Huss ZulkifliJune 2, 2011Good dumpling place eat. Clean, relax. Unfortunately, the staff are mostly temperamental. Surprisingly, even to asians. Which is quite sad really. Otherwise, an excellent place.
Siu Leung bao are a specialty here so try a variety. I tend to have the pork and crab dumplings.
Steven KerrSeptember 2, 2013This is defiantly my spot to go to with all the different choices in Chinese town. Food is was high priced but went down a treat.
Franz VitulliFebruary 3, 2016The food was good, but the service was quite poor actually - waiting staff didn't know what they were bringing to the table therefore some of us weren't able to recognise their dish of choice.
Wonderful place to breeze the hours away, dipping into dim sum.
Jenny BPNovember 13, 2010Best soup dumplings (siu loung bao) in London, but the indifferent service nearly ruins the experience. Try the pork ones for good value.
Artur FieJanuary 18, 2015Good food but staff need some more training and when we were in the place there was something leaking from the ceiling... Avoid duck soup which contains meat with small bones.
Helen MerekatFebruary 8, 2016Singapore curry was drenched with chilli, dumplings are good! They have added service to the bill, however service is not the best...
Laura ChuckApril 27, 2013Dumplings are really nice, but some serious staff training is needed in relation to service, it's rubbish!
Afro lynneJune 24, 2018Food was authentic and better than I anticipated. Service was just ok, we went there for a late dinner and felt rushed by by the server
Johannes DriessenSeptember 20, 2014Open late. Deep fried chicken was too greasy but the dumpling platter was great
Metro.co.ukDecember 2, 2010It may not be as groundbreaking as it thinks – they need to work on staff training in a big way – but Dumplings’ Legend offers a fresh approach for Chinatown. We gave it 3 stars. Read more
KucingComelFebruary 27, 2017Dumplings and other dim sum items are just average. But the BBQ pork buns are good.
Dumplings are as good as in Shanghai... Go for the soup dumplings. Waiters are nice but as in china, service is just average
DimosDecember 20, 2016Absolutely disappointing food. The quality is really bad. Probably the worst dim sum i have ever had. Not even worth the money that we spent!
Tiffany LamFebruary 16, 2014the Peking duck is a huge disappointment. the skin is not crispy enough at all. looks the same as normal roasted duck. the waiter doesn't even know how to slice the duck properly!
The food here are good (provided you know what to ask for - Siu Loung Bao dumplings) but the service is absolutely terrible!
Paul GordonNovember 16, 2015Average Chinese food at a pretty high price. Had to ask to be moved as we were sat next to the door into the pot cleaning area.
Herry LawfordMarch 18, 2011Actually the dumplings are great if not as good as Taipei. Try the taro pastry too!
Valentina Dal MasMarch 5, 2014Food is good. Service fast but basic, don't deserve any praise. Service of 12.5% is included. Don't understand why...

"Jasmine flowering tea is a MUST visually stunning and YUM"

"Amazing restaurant! I didn’t have any problems with the service, and while it’s not cheap, it’s not more expensive than most restaurants in London. One of the best places in Chinatown."
Emilio Morales - 7.0
"Shrimp based dim sum is the best, like shrimp dumplings or wonton soup. Other items like spare ribs and turnip cakes are also pretty good. Didn’t like the Xiaolongbao here, too much soy sauce."
