Harden's survey result
Summary
“It’s all about the dumplings” at this “efficient” and “good-value” Chinatown dim sum specialist – “and luckily they’re worth it”. “The best time to go is a Sunday just before the lunch rush”.
Summary
This classic and efficient Chinatown operation is a popular choice for dim sum – especially for anyone “missing life in Hong Kong”. The food is “all very tasty”, if “nothing that really sets the world alight”.
Summary
“Legendary dumplings served with typical Chinatown efficient service” – help this central fixture live up to its name for most reporters, making it a top dim sum favourite for many. To a minority, though, the experience is “sterile and inauthentic”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
