“ One of our all time favourite Chinese restaurants. The menu here is brilliant, unlike in every Chinese take away / resto, this beat Hutong without a doubt !! ”
“ Visited with the family (4 adults and 1 teen) for a birthday meal. 2 of us ordered the Hong Kong Set menu (3 course starters, intermediate and main) and the other 3 ordered from the a la carte menu. We were given a comfortable booth with a table with a lazy Suzanne which is great for sharing the food. The staff were friendly and helpful and seeing what we had ordered said they'd bring duck out for us all with starters from the set menu, which meant we all were eating together. The food was exceptionally good and we struggled to eat it all, taking a couple of pots of leftovers away with us. ”
“ Very busy restaurant, I go for special family occasions and they have been very kind to give me the function room downstairs making the experience even more special. We come in large numbers. We went Mother’s Day, my daughter’s birthday which sat on Chinese new year celebrations. Dim sum is made by own chefs, the 3 roast with rice is absolutely a must try. Love the noodles, Cheung fun and the bakery is freshly baked. We booked for 40 and there was a bit of chaos in Bringing out the food to wrong tables and some food didn't come out, some were cancelled and some were charged extra but they offered some set offs. We would have liked to eaten more so hopefully return to try the food we didn’t come out. Good quality food. Ideally more photos but food is usually demolished before photos are taken. We were very grateful for the service. Great place to try if visiting the area. I travel from Essex and prefer to restaurants in London. ”
