We started queuing from 6pm on a Friday, and waited for around 45 minutes to get the table. The ambience was great (tables are closely placed together). Service was very efficient and staff made sure you do not delay your eating. We ordered steamed morning glory, prawn toasts and beef hor fun. They're all delivered to the table when piping hot. However, portion size was just acceptable. They taste great though. Not a recommended location if you expect a longer dinner.

Mr. Ric is an amazing host. He kept checking if we needed any help and came up with suggestions for our dishes. Highly recommend Sichuan Spicy Wonton. Would definitely come back and recommend this place for a nice family dinner in China Town, London. Thanks Ric for your hospitality!

The bowl I got was dirty with dried oil stains on it. I told the waiter and he took my bowl away without apologizing. He later gave me a new bowl, but the bowl still had a very small amount of dry oil stains, which I wiped off myself. However, the food is very delicious. Although I personally think it is a bit salty, the taste is really good and I can't fault it. I am hesitant to go there again.

What a great place!! We really enjoyed it, the restaurant is very clean and the food is served quickly but we absolutely loved it! Very kind staff and very welcoming too, the owner advised us his best dishes and they were indeed amazing. Lovely experience!! Would recommend!!

The food was good and decent portion sizes as well. Loved the noodles and duck was also amazing! Prices are reasonable for central. Service was good too, tables and decor made it a nice place to sit. Only downside was the salt and pepper chicken was a bit too salty and would have been nice to have a cloakroom to put jackets.

I've been here a couple times now - as a Hong Konger myself I can say the food is pretty good! Only thing is the volcano egg dishes tend to be too rich & greasy for me, so I stick to meat & rice. Definitely on the pricier side, but good quality & generous serving size. Lots of options to choose from and the staff are super attentive. When it's peak hours the staff will get you seated ASAP - sometimes you may end up sharing a table, which makes for an authentic experience! :)

Came here with friends who recommended it. We were lucky to get a table in the basement straight away. The place was cosy but very average. The food arrived very fast, food was ok. The service need a lot of improvement.

I seldom give full stars on all categories but this one really impresses me! 100% HK style roast duck, wonton noodle soup that is better than HK (was there a month ago), and the curry fish balls with pork skin, on top of a cup of real brewed HK Milk Tea! This is heaven and didn’t expect to find these here in London? On top of all, the staff was extremely friendly. The owner/manager knows HK culture and food really well, and he actively to get feedback from his customers, making sure they got what they wanted. Will surely come back next time I come to London again.

I think it closed nearly 10 years ago, but there was a chinese restaurant called "Bamboo Basket" in St James' Park which served awesome chow mein. I think the noodle was freshly prepared onsite with an exquisite sauce which I could not find anywhere else since then - the chow mein by Ken Lo's memories of China in Victoria was the closest but although it was great in its own right it was not qutie the same. I was excited to find that same chow mein again at this restaurnat more than after 10 years' searh - the soft, fresh and delicious noodles with the unique soya sauce! So far I had pork one and seafood one and have been very happy. I would like to try the duck dishes in the future. The serving staff are all very nice and efficient, they supply a small tissue box for each table which you can take home as well, there is a clever equipment with thin bags at the entracne that automatically wrap your wet umbrera when you stick it into it. A very well organised new style Chinese cafe with quality food and service!
Phenomenal Hong Kong-style cuisine in London. Dishes are authentic (coming from a HongKonger) with some innovative twists such as the salted egg yolks on toast.Every single dish we tried was amazing, especially the charsiu and roast duck which were both succulent and flavourful.The restaurant is very fast-paced which may be poorly regarded locally, but feels authentic to HK restaurant culture. The quick speed at which dishes were served was appreciated.

The visually appealing rotating wind omelette rice and signature jumbo pineapple bun were eye-catching, but the flavors were average. Considering the prices typical of eating out in London, it's a matter of whether it's worth it. It's purely for the taste of Hong Kong.The interior decoration is filled with street paintings reminiscent of Hong Kong, and the variety of dishes is just like what you'd find in a Hong Kong-style cafe. The only drawback is, why doesn't the menu use traditional Chinese characters?#KissKidsFamily

Reasonably good Hong Kong style restaurant. We ordered several typical items including: pan fried rice noodle with beef, pineapple bun with butter, wonton noodles, roast duck and chicken combo, HK style milk tea. Food tastes good and authentic. I can see some room for improvement. Beef is a little tough to go with the noodles. Milk tea is not hot enough, and a little more sugar would be good. The wonton noodles can have a little more Q. The chicken can season a little more.

By far the best Cantonese restaurant in London. It’s worth it if you’re willing to endure a bit of the queue to get in. Highly recommend the pineapple bun with butter. It’s quintessentially Hong Kong :)

One of the few good Cantonese BBQ restaurants in London. I feel it is better than similar restaurants like Four Seasons, Cafe TPT or Chinatown 97 in the same area. The roast pork was crispy and not too salty, the BBQ pork was tender and moist. The beef ho fun wasn't oily and had plenty of 'wok he', but the beef itself was dried and over-cooked. Usually has a queue but is fairly quick and efficient. Definitely the first place to check from now on.
