Went here and was scammed by the menu. Not only is the menu purposely misleading with the price and what you’ll get, but the food is 3/10 as well as horrible service. We are vegans and were brought meat dishes 3 times to the table, as we had our food in front of us.

Tasteless rip off Our expectations were not too high but the quality of the food was really bad here. You get more flavor out of a packet of supermarket ready meal than the dishes here. We also got overcharged with no possibility to check the bill because there is non. They just bring you a piece of handwritten paper with the ‘total bill’ trying to pressure you to give extra tip but ‘do t understand’ when you ask them what is on this bill. Shameless rip off tourist trap, AVOID!

Terrible restaurant! I'm not one of those people who give bad reviews, but I have to warn you. The food is terrible, overcooked, not chewable. The workers don't speak English at all and they justify the bad service by saying they don't know how to express themselves, so it's like you don't understand how they are right, and they are not, really not. Also dirty a lot!

Food generally ok. Extremely quick service - almost too quick. Ok for a quick bite before theatre. Just a word of warning - be careful of the double service charge. They add it to the bill and then ask if you want to add service on the card machine also. We got stitched up for an extra 10% on top of the 12.5% already on the bill. Didn’t realise until a day later. Very sneaky and would stop me going back.

We arrived with friends for the Chinese New Year, what was our surprise when we entered this “restaurant”. First, installation and quick order taking, the server remains at the table waiting for the order. When taking it, no smile, no effort at pronunciation, no exchange. A few moments later, you have to pay the bill, before being served (yes yes). Everyone is served: the rice is bland, the fried meat is just fried, the noodles are dry and the sauce is still solid. I'm not talking about the dishes that arrive at (very) irregular intervals... The only positive point is the wine... The only thing they don't make themselves. To finish, I don't think much of this establishment after a health check. To flee.

This place cannot be called a restaurant, the food is terrible. They gave us chicken with vegetables and nuts, which they call chicken smelled terrible. We left the plate full, the waiter removed it and didn't even ask why the only passable thing was the rice, the tiny and terrible spring rolls. To forget And to make matters worse, they make you pay the bill before serving you, disastrous I repeat it again, what they said was support an incredible stench had rotten

Siempre comí en este restaurante cuando visité Londres, así que decidí ir de nuevo cuando volví después de mucho tiempo fuera. Qué error fue. No creo que hayan limpiado o actualizado nada desde mi última visita. El lugar está sucio. El personal es desdeñoso y puede ser grosero. Están tan ocupados corriendo que es imposible conseguir un servicio decente. Pedimos unas albóndigas de langostinos que vinieron sin salsa para mojar. También pedimos pato crujiente y tortitas. La chica que lo desmenuzó tenía tanta prisa que literalmente lo hackeó. Podría haber hecho un mejor trabajo yo mismo. El pato apenas estaba caliente. Las tortitas estaban totalmente pegadas en la cesta de la vaporera. Dios sabe cuánto tiempo llevaban allí. Tardé años en separar cada uno y, por supuesto, se estaban desgarrando. También estaban apenas calientes. Nunca volvería a comer aquí. Estaba tan decepcionado como emocionado de volver de nuevo, pero qué error fue. Mantente alejado si quieres comida y servicio decentes. Al personal le importa un carajo y se nota.

When it comes to paying the bill, it is set up to give you a choice to pay a tip, on payment. This is in addition to a 12.5% service charge added to the bill. So if you don’t want to pay two tips/ service charge - check the machine carefully. You also get charged for tap water.

Typical tourist trap for pre-show diners. Very basic and run down environment - especially if seated downstairs. Served very small amounts of sauce with dishes and if you ask for more they charge £4 for another small dish and additional pancakes for crispy duck are charged at £5! The food was enjoyable other than being overpriced for what you get but MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR BILL. They will try to take your payment before you get a chance to look at it and when we did we had been charged £28 for salt and chilli squid which should have been £18 which in itself is a ludicrous price in this non-classy environment! Oh and the toilets absolutely stink!!!

Very basic and tired decor. Worst Chinese I've been to. Tiny portions and overcharging for extras sauces and pancakes. £9 a pint. Tried to charge me £28 for some crispy squid and then told me it was a mistake and they'd charged for the wrong dish, I asked them to show me on the menu which one they had charged for mistakenly which they couldn't do. A dreadful experience. Don't let them rush you to pay the bill, check it.

How is this place still in business? We had dessert there as we’d just had dinner elsewhere. The dessert was ok although excessively overpriced (£19.80 for two small bowls of sago/tapioca pearls). The service was by far the worst I have ever seen, and I am a Londoner originally from Paris…! The waiters were criticising our order and giving us dirty looks, yet we had said we only wanted dessert upon entering. When some waiters saw our order, they ripped the bill out of our table and started shouting at each other. This felt extremely awkward. When I asked whether everything was ok, we were ignored and so were we until we left the place. The only time we weren’t per se is when we were being bumped into by waiters on the move, approximately every 10 seconds as the tables are so tightly arranged. I insist that I have never ever seen this before and am wondering how this place is still in business. When we left, one waitress bumped into me without saying sorry or goodbye or thank you. The place is also dirty as some waiters were taking the bins out whilst people were eating. I would definitely avoid eating a whole meal here.

The food was okay, but the hygiene was questionable. I went there on Christmas and they didn't accept credit cards, only cash. When I asked for the bill, they just gave me a piece of paper with the full amount written on it. lol;;;; I ended up weighing over 270 pounds after eating lobster and three small plates. ;;; I went because Imperial China was closed and I was so disappointed. This is a restaurant that seriously rips you off. With that money, you could eat at a high-end restaurant in Hong Kong or a Cantonese restaurant like Yu Yuan at the Four Seasons Seoul.

The food was overpriced and poorly served. The tables were very close to each other. I was sitting in the aisle, passed by waiters by centimeters every few seconds. When two of us finished eating, their plates were immediately taken away. The third person finished his meal as if he were eating alone. The atmosphere is like a crowded McDonald's, not a restaurant. I couldn't wait for the rest (£17) of the cash I paid and had to ask for it even though the service was included in the bill. Food from a food track is tastier. It is rather a place to quickly extract money from tourists.

The food was okay. The service was, however, horrible. We were seated in a corner at the entrance. There was a lot of passage and servers were bumping into us the whole service. The wait was a bit long. The moment we ended the plate, they removed them and stared at us so that we could leave. They then proceeded to clean our table and reset it while we were seated and not ready to pay. Avoid.

Went here after theatre - had to pay for order before food came which was strange until we saw they added a huge service charge onto the bill - I requested this be removed and we would leave a cash tip ( which we always do as we don’t agree with restaurants deciding what tip is to be - especially before you even had any service !) The waitress replied “if you don’t pay we won’t serve you !! This is against the law !! Food was awful bland and cold - but of course you have paid so no recourse Trading standards should visit this restaurant.

21/1/2924-Saturday. I had frequent this restaurant for years. Normally, just takeaway. As I do not like their seating area. I seldom rate restaurant in a bad way. For this particular restaurant. I must admit the waitresses are very rude. In term of service like taking order. Asking the waitress for detail of certain dishes. The waitress act like, if you don't know, don't come here. You are not welcome. This kind of attitude. I have tolerated them on many occasions. Until today, even though they are busy. Understandingly. I have to wait and I have no oribkem with this. I waited for an hour. Yet the food is not ready. I need a chair to sit as I just come out from hospital after a major surgery. The waitress just tell me off. The restaurant is too busy. No chair for you. If this attitudes of the waitresses do NOT improve. I am afraid, I will never come back to this restaurant again. Greatly disappointed💔👎👎👎

The food here is nothing special and combined with the poor service I would absolutely not recommend this place. We hadn’t realised we received a dish for the table next to us, and after trying some, the waitress realised and took it back to the kitchen. She then made no changes and served it to the table next to us. Myself and the lady at the table were horrified, especially considering the 12.5% service charge. The staff are rather unfriendly and unhelpful, we waited about 10 minutes for the bill only for the card reader to “lose signal”. We had to attempt paying 7 times in different locations, one of which the waitress walked away with the card reader and the bank card. We later realised the payment had been taken twice and after phoning the restaurant on two occasions they insisted it was not the case. I’ve since spoken to the bank who’ve confirmed it has been taken twice - I cannot believe the restaurants attitude to customer service, especially regarding payment issues. Do not eat here, and if you must, bring cash!

After looking at the menus of several restaurants in Chinatown, just our luck that we pick probably the worst one to eat in. Tables were cramped. We were rushed to order. Requested ice twice for the tepid table water and it never came. Food was bland and tasteless. Chicken and sweetcorn soup looked like vomit. Main course arrived halfway through the soup so was going cold. Wouldn’t recommend as there are much better restaurants nearby, pity we chose the wrong one.

Extremely dissappointing experience. Went in to dine with our friends who are of Asian descent, me and my partner not, we were obviously shonned aside and made feel very clearly not part of the culture. Even our friends mentioned that the service was what they would call "thats what white people get" unfortunately. Food very underwhelming, high prices and asked to pay before being served with serviche charge included (when service hadnt yet been provided). One dish was a miscommunication and they refused to take it back even yelled at me for not understanding them in the first place. Very sad for such an experience. Do not recommend at all.

I have been going to this restaurant for over 25 years but sadly it has gone down the pan. It is now a massively overpriced tourist trap with terrible service. As an example, a portion of dim sum costs between £10 to £12. They also try and scam you; they will often try and charge you more than the prices noted in the menu, so make sure you check the prices before you pay. They also insist that every single member of your party is present before they give you a table and you have to pay for your food (including a 12.5% service charge) when you order. Consequently there’s nothing you can do if the food and/or the service is not up to standard. Paying upfront would be just about acceptable if it is a good restaurant with great food, but certainly not for this scam of a restaurant. To top it all off, the last time we went there we ended up getting food poisoning. This is an awful restaurant that should be avoided at all costs.

This place has the rudest staff we have ever come across. Have to say the food was fine so nothing to complain about there. But we were sat outside, so told we would have to pay up front. And then get asked for a tip!! Based on what exactly? We hadnt even ordered food at that point. Barely a word spoken and when it was, just short and rude. For instance we asked where the toilets were. Downstairs! Food tuned up in a about 5 min and was just plonked down. They just want you in and out as fast as possible. I appreciate its really busy but there is no need to treat your customers with contempt. Hovering around to take plates before we had all finished eating! If you dont care about customer service and are in a rush its OK. Very expensive though, so be warned. But then again its London.

Cold dishes, rich table, we receive the dishes before the starters and the starters at the end of the meal. The waitresses try to increase consumption as much as possible. In addition, the music is way too loud and there are only 3 songs in the playlist. Finally, the waiter digs into the plate to look at its contents.

Cibo tremendo, posto lercio, personale disonesto e scortese. Ci hanno fatto pagare prima che arrivassero i piatti al tavolo, senza dare subito la ricevuta e aggiungendo una tassa di servizio superiore a quella voluta, nonché un’acqua non richiesta. Quando ho fatto notare che non volevamo due acque, la cameriera ha portato via sia una bottiglia che il bicchiere della persona con cui ero. Lo scontrino, quando è arrivato, era letteralmente nel piatto dei ravioli, coperto di sugo. La cameriera, cortesemente, ha pensato bene di toglierlo da lì e di mettercelo su un piattino, anch’esso unto di suo. No comment sul cibo, che probabilmente veniva da qualche razione K dell’esercito cinese (maoista). Veramente deplorevole.

Best Chinese food in Chinatown. I’m in London every October and always make a point of coming here. Dim Sum is the best! One of the few restaurants open late night after the theater. Late night you need to pay after ordering and trust me I’d rather do that than go home hungry. I’ve. Ever had a bad meal here. It’s usually busy but so worth the wait.

The food was okay, but the service was lousy—I’ve never seen that before! It's an expensive place, and as icing on the cake, you must pay before you notice the food arriving. They just rush you so you can leave quickly. Jasmine's tea arrived once we finished our meal, and still, we had to ask again about it as it seemed they forgot (again). I don’t recommend this place.

Mixed review I ordered the "savoury meat and shrimp croquette" which tasted good but the value for money is really average, they were almost empty... They add 12.5% of the price of the dish as service tips, this is mentioned at the bottom of a page of the menu We asked 4 times for tap water which only ended up arriving when we moved Unfriendly staff (the gentleman who took our order was great but not the women at the entrance) We ate outside, it was raining but the place was covered and heated which is a very good point!

Good food, nice place. Great service, which is incurred on the bill

We came here to have some soupand asked to sit in, the lady insisted that we had a takeaway for some reason then we get the take away and decide to sit in the outdoor seating. She then comes with her colleuge and tells us that we can nor sit their because we have ordered a take out (not by our choice) and tells us that we have to leave? Its 22:00pm and empty what is the point?! Terrible customer service and uncooked food 😓

Having eaten here many many times years ago when we lived down south we recommended the restaurant to friends, so 8 of us visited. We were shocked to discover a compulsory 15% service charge added to our bills and you have to pay in advance. Ridiculous paying for a service you haven't actually received yet and at an inflated rate. They will not waver on this so be warned ! Now having said that our food was delicious. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Just be prepared.

I asked for small alterations to my noodle (dry version instead of soup version). It’s not listed on menu. They didn’t tell us it would cost £2 extra than the soup version on the menu. I’m not happy with being charged more without being told beforehand. Not big sum, but the non transparent way it was done left a bad taste in the mouth, metaphorically!

Although the food is good quality, it is really sad to have to pay £3 for daring to ask for an empty cup to drink the tea you already paid for. This is completely unacceptable and intolerable. This is a clear abuse of tourists.

Guess most people wouldn't enjoy paying inflated prices on a (below the) average food (at the most) in a shabby restaurant and also discover they were tricked to tip for a service they didn't even get yet as well as pay a 12.5% service fee... Oh, and also for stuff one can and should get for free (like small sauce plates). Avoid at all cost.

Came to this pace for lunch, and was pleasantly surprise by the food and service. I've travelled enough to EU, North America, and APAC and normally I would hunt for Chinese food. This place is top notch, even comparable to those top ones in HK and Guang Zhou.

They quietly added a 12.5% service fee to the bill and when I paid by card, I was asked to tip again. I didn't know that I had already been charged. A beer costs £8.50. A small £6.50. You should definitely familiarize yourself with the drink prices in advance.

The quality of the food was average at best and the wine was overpriced. The service was also overbearing.

He estado en HK y muchas veces Diner no creo que merezca tantas críticas negativas. Sin duda admitir que la varían entre bastante bueno a bastante malo, dependiendo de quién es usted, pero nadie ha sido simplemente grosero conmigo cuando he estado allí. He tenido faaaar peor servicio en otros lugares de China en Chinatown como Wong Kai y Leung Legend's.

Nous sommes arrivés dans ce restaurant par hasard, et ce ne fut pas une excellente décision. Les locaux sont sans charme, le service n'est pas professionnel, nous étions deux et nous n'avons pas été servis en même temps, et lorsque l'un de nous a terminé son repas on lui a directement retiré son assiette, sans même attendre que l'autre termine son repas.Nous avons choisi en entrée un mix de différents plats asiatiques, plutôt réussis quoique les nems nettement moins bons que ceux mangés la veille dans un restaurant thai vers Hammersmith. Les plats principaux que nous avons choisis étaient plutôt quelconques.Nous ne retournerons pas à cette adresse.

В общем-то забегаловка, торгующая китайской едой. Есть прямо там - на любителя. Основной контингент берет еду на вынос. За столиками в основном не едят, а ждут заказ - а подождать приходится. . Китайская кухня на любителя, но очень дешевая и порции очень большие.

La única razón por la que recomendaría este lugar es porque mi familia y yo comimos aquí por menos de 20 libras. Pedimos, fuera del menú, sopa de fideos, uno con cerdo sean asados y uno con sean asados pato. No voy a pretender estaba delicioso, porque no fue así. Sin embargo, cualquier lamento prolongado por haber elegido al azar para comer aquí, porque estaba vacío, desapareció rápidamente cuando me dieron la factura. Tuve que verificar con el camarero que era correcto; 19 libras!
