My HQ whenever I visit London! You sometimes have to queue but their dumplings are very good! The prices remain affordable compared to other restaurants in Chinatown and it is very generous

The worst service, the staff greets you as if they are about to argue with you. They drop the plates on the tables, causing the food to spill. All the dishes were terrible, it’s an entirely overrated place. Every dish was left half-finished, and we left hungry. The dough was bad, the chicken was bad, the filling was bad; the only good thing was the bottle of water.

A very popular dim sum restaurant. This is an extremely popular restaurant that fills up as soon as it opens. A la carte is also available. The dim sum is cooked, chewy, hot, and juicy, so it's very satisfying.

beijing dumpling is my favorite restaurant in chinatown- whenever i have friends visiting or I'm in the area, I always take them here because i Know they'll love it just as much as me. My favorite dishes here are the dan dan noodles and aubergine in spicy sauce. Massive portion sizes perfect for sharing - or bringing home leftovers!

Look we all know London Chinatown is not the best Chinese food, instead it's where you go before catching a show. This one in particular I would call the food above average at best, but the quantity is definitely generous. No reservations so come early or be prepared to wait.

I can't understand how my experience can be so different from the comments I read before walking through the doors. One wonders if the reviews are not purchased or written by a robot, otherwise impossible.. The meats are questionable, the service is cold and unpleasant, the ravioli have a thick and stuffy dough, the broths are tasteless... really it's a mystery. It's actually the worst and most expensive Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten in.

Worst restaurant in a long time. Attracted by the good comments and the fact that they make the ravioli in front of you, we tried the experiment. The ravioli were very bad because the dough was too thick, the filling bland and tasteless. The dishes all had the same bland taste, the portions were much too big and no one advised us on the menu. We asked for water and they brought us a poor glass from the tap without ice. The waiters don't even ask if we found the food good because I think they already know what they are serving is bad. Given the number of positive comments it is surely a restaurant that buys comments on the internet because I don't think anyone can give more than one star

De passage à Chinatown, et attirés par les cuisiniers faisant les raviolis devant nous, nous nous sommes laissés tenter par ce restaurant. Bon choix vue la qualité et les prix tout à fait abordables. Le service est par ailleurs efficace et l'ambiance assez familiale. Le fait d'avoir tous les plats en même temps sur la table invite à partager, à découvrir, c'est un vrai voyage entre amis. Je recommande largement, un excellent restaurant de raviolis !

I was hoping for a good meal based on the reviews, and this place delivered. Excellent food and great service. We were there at around 9pm on a Saturday night, and the queue was about 50 people deep. We were a party of 5, and we were seated in about 45 minutes, which wasn’t unbearable. The fiery soup dumplings were outstanding, as were our entrees, and the servers were on point. We’ll definitely go back.

Admittedly, we pigged out at Beijing Dumpling. Instead of selecting the set menu, 2 of us basically ordered a lot: the crispy duck with the pancake which was divine, the honey pork ribs which tasted fantastic, the freshly made xiao long bao, and the crispy soft shell crab. We also ordered spinach and egg fried rice BUT they didn't serve the order. We thought that they forgot about it but they said they didnt serve because the table was small, but they didn't notify us either. We just did take away for those instead. There's lots of space inside for 1-2 people, however, larger groups will have problems.

In front of the British Museum, I went to Chinatown at exactly the same time as it opened at 12 o'clock. A family of four was in front of us. We had egg and corn soup, crab and pork xiao long bao, and seafood fried rice. The seafood fried rice had crab sticks in it, but the shrimp were large and the squid was just the right amount of flavor.It was very delicious. The soup has a gentle taste and is the best.

The xiaolongbao is very doughy, but the filling is not bad, but the dough tastes like gnocchi. The chicken and corn soup was too sweet and not the taste of home, which was disappointing. The fried tofu is really delicious. After returning to Denmark, I found that my daughter and her friends also ate at this restaurant. She ate all vegetarian dishes and thought they were delicious. The service attitude is average.

We ordered the duck, chicken & corn soup, vegetable dumplings (once fried, once in broth) and some chicken dumplings. The duck and the chicken dumplings were OK. Everything else was incredibly bland, unfortunately. Like there was no salt or anything. Even the broth was tasteless. Also, the „vegetable“ dumplings‘ filling was 90% glass noodles, and maybe a shred of mushroom. Overall pretty disappointing. And definitely not worth waiting in a queue for.

The onion and ginger beef is delicious. The meat is marinated very tender and the sauce has the flavor of beef rice noodles. The seafood fried rice is also delicious, the pot has good flavor and the flower branches are very soft. The cashew chicken is not too authentic. It's okay. It's delicious, but it just doesn't taste like the cashew chicken I remember. Xiaolongbao skin is a bit thick, average Points are deducted for the environment. The environment is very noisy but the service is not bad.

After waiting at the door, one waitress ignored us and then 3 minutest later a waiter arrived to take us to sit down at the basement. The seats were so uncomfortable and so tightly spaced. So we decided to stand up and walked out from the restaurant. They might served good decent food but the customer service and the most uncomfortable seats I will not pay for such a non sense. There are plenty of other good food and good restaurants around, customers Can and Will choose what suit us and make us feel most comfortable. The owner needs to re-think about staff training and re-decorating the restaurant before it'll close down eventually!

(3.5 stars) Perhaps important for all vegetarians: unfortunately the vegetarian dumplings are not recommended at all. The service and atmosphere is really good and also very authentic.

I can imagine that the meat dumplings taste better there (unfortunately I can't judge) :) They are also homemade and it is possible to watch the manufacturing process in the window.

I've been here a few times, and the food is just OK. It's always crowded because of it's prime location, but the food is sub-par in my opinion. Last time I was here, the dumplings were very evidently not fresh. The dough of the wrapper was extremely thick with little filling, not at all chewy, and tasted as if it'd be reheated after sitting for a few days in the fridge!

WORST dan dan noodles EVER! The young waitress working downstairs is simply HORRIBLE and RUDE with an attitude. I saw her snatch people's menus from their hands like she clearly didn't want to work there and was done with life in general.Tough! I could have ignored that as it's not an easy job however I was expecting the traditional Szechuan dan dan noodles dish but got some disgusting soupy peanut sauce and the soggiest fat noodles. I only had a tiny sip of it before I had to send it back. Major let down! I was so excited to try that place I queued for 20 minutes outside. Don't really get the hype. The dim sum platter was so dry and chewy they clearly forgot about my order on the counter... The couple sitting next to me left all their plates full and when I asked them about it they just shrugged and made a face of disgust. Fire that stupid girl, she clearly hates you all there and hates the customers.

Saturday lunch, the restaurant was empty - unsurprisingly as it turned out. We ordered prawn crackers, a quarter crispy aromatic duck - ok-ish but nothing special. The crispy pork (Harbin signature dish) was dry and tough. The steamed prawns in their shells were vastly overcooked: dry, rubbery and flavourless. Both main courses (at c. £23 each) came with no vegetables, just the protein. The prawns were served with some vermicelli. The egg fried rice was £6.50!!! We complained about the mains (especially the prawns). The waiter said he told the chef, who replied that that's how the prawns should be! With a coke and a beer, the bill came to £90. On the plus side, the restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated. The toilets are nice and very clean. Unfortunately, the food is badly cooked and overpriced. We won't be going back.

Went back to the opium bar and had a great time. Asked to sit and the bar and served by David who was excellent. Gave us great service, spoke to us freely while still serving up all the tickets and others also on bar stools along with his colleague. David made some great recommendations front menu The opium no 10 is good! But after persistent asking agreed to make some alternative suggestions the polish vodka martini and the baijiu cocktail were amazing... Would visit again just for his service. Also his colleague Luke who's head is on some of the bottles was up for a giggle as well made us welcome.
