Plum Valley Fine Dining in City of London, Westminster

Me and my family at first had 2 starters: prawn toast and salt and peppered spare ribs which both were very nice as the toast was nice and crunchy with still being rich in flavour as well as the ribs which were extremely delicious. We then had the main course meals which were: sweet and sour chicken, deep fried battered chicken in lemon sauce, beef satay + kung pao and chicken with cashew nuts. The sweet and sour my daughter had, had a very rich taste. The battered chicken, my son says, was also very zesty tasting as well as being crunchy. Moreover, the chicken with cashew nuts was fantastic: especially the pepper's which were beautiful when paired with the sauce. Lastly the beef satay my husband had said it was very tasty. The service was exceptional because the main server/ waiter was brilliant at his job as he answered any questions that we had very efficiently and concisely telling us exactly what was included in the meals.

I visited a second time as I really enjoyed the menu the first time I went. As a vegetarian I thought that they had increased the vegetarian dishes on the menu. The food was delicious, definitely a restaurant I will visit again

Welcoming service and staff. On the other hand, very very mediocre dishes. Tasteless. Burnt tastes as if reheated food. To flee.

The have fully plantbased options which are marked on the menu. The vegan mixed plate was really good. But the place feels really crowded and the prices are a bit high

Good dim sum and comfortable environment. It is a great place in China Town to catch up with friends.

Extremely good chinese food an deserts. I especially recommend the dessert made with mango.

Food was decent, the best thing is the karaoke rooms!

The food tasted super delicious. We had number 609 and number 10 for two and it was enough for both of us. It was very pleasant to sit there and the lychee juice was very tasty

A Hidden Gem in Chinatown – Plum Valley Delivers on Every Level! I had the pleasure of dining at Plum Valley today, and it was an experience worth sharing! From the moment you step inside, the sleek and modern ambiance sets the tone for an elevated dining experience. The attention to detail in the decor, with its contemporary yet cozy atmosphere, creates the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The menu is a delightful fusion of authentic Cantonese flavors with a modern twist. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The dim sum selection was a highlight—delicate, fresh, and packed with delicious fillings. The crispy duck was perfectly cooked, with a crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat. Every bite was a treat! Service was another standout aspect. The staff were warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for high-quality Chinese cuisine in the heart of London’s Chinatown, Plum Valley is a must-visit. Whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special occasion, it’s a spot that truly delivers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Highly recommended

We walked a large portion of Chinatown before settling on Plum Valley for a quick dim sum late lunch, mostly because it seemed to have the most reasonably priced custard buns. We ended up getting some Shanghai dumplings, spicy Sichuan seafood dumplings, satay squid, sago pudding, and black custard buns. Surprisingly, the satay squid was the best tasting but also the best value. The seafood dumplings and custard buns were also good. The Shanghai dumplings and sago pudding were decent but overpriced for what it is. Also beware that they do add an automatic 12.5% service charge to the bill, which is clearly stated on the menus inside but not on the menu outside. Maybe they would remove it if you argued with them, but we didn’t try. Most other restaurants only add 10% if at all, so this is on the high end. We weren’t blown away and probably wouldn’t return, but it’s decent if you just want to try London dim sum. The other restaurants are all comparably priced and taste wise as well, I imagine. If you do go, highly recommend the satay squid!

The dim sum was hot and very tasty. I would recommend this over other close dim sum restaurants in Chinatown.

Went with a large group (10 people) and had a great time, the food was delicious and much better than other places I have tried in Chinatown. Food was reasonably priced and even with a some people ordering drinks it was only about £30 a person Will definitely be going again

Ok, sí, caro, pero es Londres, así que tienes que esperar eso. Para ser honesto la comida y el servicio era excelente, muy educada y deliciosa comida. Volvería de nuevo

The food was amazing and Lily was amazing will come back , I have so much fun

Lily was increíble funny and her service was 10 out of 10, will come back for sure thank you

The ravioli were excellent! We ate extremely well. Fast service Affordable price

DIM SUM HEAVEN 🥟 📍 Chinatown, London ⭐️ 4/5 💸 £ 🍴When a friend told me she’d never tried #DimSum, I knew exactly what to do—book a table at @plumvalleyrestaurant the following week! 🥢Plum Valley is a family-run gem in #Chinatown, serving freshly made dim sum daily since the 1980s. If you're after authentic and flavour-packed dumplings, this is the spot! 🥟 We went all in on the dim sum menu (obviously) and here are the highlights: 💚 #Scallops & Spinach Dumplings – fresh, light, and packed with flavour. 🍤 Har Gau – the classic crystal shrimp dumpling, perfectly delicate. 🥢 Shanghai Style #Pork & Crabmeat Dumpling – juicy and full of umami goodness. 🥦 Lo Han Vegetable Dumpling – a great veggie option, bursting with flavour. 🍯 Cream #Custard Buns – soft, fluffy, and filled with sweet, creamy goodness. If you’re looking for fresh, authentic dim sum in Chinatown, this spot is a must. Perfect for introducing friends to the world of dumplings or just satisfying your own cravings! 🤤

They do not guarantee 100% safety for customers with various types of allergies! The vegetarian dim sums and vermicelli were horrible and overpriced. Terrible place for vegetarians. Service was slow and atmosphere was claustrophobic.

Parecía encantador desde fuera, pero la comida era muy pobre. El plato de entrada mixto era poco atractivo y grasiento. Dejó la mayor parte. £ 98 para dos personas (cargo por servicio elevado por servicio deslucido) con una copa de vino y una Coca-Cola Cero. No volvería.

Came here but I can’t really remember much about it. The food was average. The service was average. Prices were typical for Chinatown but of course overpriced for an average meal. I do remember the interior of the restaurant is very dark though as I came on a date, and just didn’t really like the atmosphere. It didn’t feel very relaxing and furnishings felt very cold. However I would like to come and try this place again at a lunchtime as people have left positive reviews about their dim sum

This is our first time coming here, On special occasions we haven't seen our friend for a long time, this restaurant is so pretty you got a separate room also and karaoke. The food was delicious, crispy, big portions, friendly service, I enjoy it now I know this place is best to eat at this restaurant again with karaoke. The dimsum portion is Wow Am super full lol is best since I haven't eaten after long shift night Thank you for an amazing day

Every time I go to London's Chinatown to eat, I don't expect any service, so my husband and I walked into Plum Blossom Village for a big lunch. Unexpectedly, we met a very nice waiter with glasses. He didn't have to wait and didn't rush. He automatically helped you add water to make tea. He also helped me find plum sauce and ordered roasted duck. I don't eat duck because it's dry. The service of these four-eyed guys is really good👍🏻 , good service and high efficiency👍🏻The overall food is delicious, can you recommend it?

Decidí ir al valle de la ciruela después de una búsqueda rápida en TikTok, que sugirió que era un gran lugar para comer en la ciudad de China. Me llevé a mi madre y a mi tía (que vive en el extranjero) y estaba visitando Londres por primera vez. Tengo que decir que la comida es muy promedio, pero no horrible. Sin embargo lo que más me molestó fue el absoluto mal servicio y lo grosero que uno de los camareros masculinos fue conmigo cuando quise hacer una pregunta sobre el té de limón. Fui y siempre sigo siendo cortés con el personal, sin embargo no me siento correspondido de esa manera a mí, un cliente. Aprecio que el camarero debe haber estado preocupado por un tema (o parecía ser así) , sin embargo hay una forma en la que hablas a tus clientes. Me sentí ignorado y él no se disculpó, por lo tanto no estaba contento con mi experiencia general. Es una pena porque la decoración y el ambiente en general era decente.

Very solid option in the heart of China town. Food is decent and service is great!

This was an awful disappointment 2 starters arrived 20 mins before the vegetation options Seaweed soft & chewy Mains were simply adequate Nothing to recommend Won’t return

Absolutely amazing, calm atmosphere. Food is absolutely amazing!!! Even ordered more as we were eating. Definitely 10/10

The food was OK, but not the best. We found the lemon chicken sauce to sweet and covered in a lot of flour. The weren't enough vegetables or chicken in the stir fry noodles, which it was a shame that the flavour was good. Service was OK, but if you are a regular the treatment from the staff was different to someone going there, for the first time. Also I don't agree with the added service charge.

We had a great time at Plum Valley - good food, reasonably priced and good service. I would recommend if you are looking for a more intimate Chinese restaurant, rather than large group seating at circular tables.

Went to Plum Valley today at ChibesecNew Year. Whilst very busy abd popular queue to get in... Service was good Atmosphere was good Various menus to choose from Food out of this world extremely tasty Whilst a little pricy with 12.5% service charge it was worth it. Only slight criticism we had set course and one dish was brought out at a time when ideally wanted them altogether. Overall would highly recommend and would visit again!

Love the atmosphere and the quality of food. No queue but very good quality. Highly recommended

It was really lovely, the service was amazing very polite and accommodating. Also the food was everything I hoped for so delicious and filling

Took my mum and family here for my mum’s 70th. We had a wonderful experience here with some incredible food! The staff were all lovely and we left feeling incredibly satisfied. Will recommend for sure!

Food was beautifully presented, most staff are friendly and accomodating (apart from 1), food was nice with a lovely ambience.

Amazingly fresh and high quality dim sum backed with extremely good service. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Mixed experience here today with friends. Kung pao chicken was excellent but the rest was average. Chow mein was cold, and the spicy pork dish was bland. Please refer to my photo of the hair extracted from my meal too. Could probably find better Chinese in Timaru! (Which is in New Zealand btw)

Before you go... I left a negative review, because of the service I received on a joined dinner and a food quality. We made separates orders and we received the bill to pay. We calculated the total and.... they added the service charge of 13% not 12%. Each of us paid own bill. I said I didn't include the service charge and I paid. The WAITER added that service charge to my friend bill!!!! I told him how he dared to do it without anyone permission. I told him that the service charge was discretionary not mandatory and adding it to somebody's bill wasn't polite. The WAITER's reply stunned me..." He served us he deserved the service charge! " I asked him to remove the service charge from that bill and I paid again against my will!!!! That answer was inpolite and unpropriate. In fact, I didn't say this, but.... if your salary is not enough, find a new job, don't talk that way to the customer. If you want to get a mandatory service charge, increase the meal price! Food: If you have allergies, they have a very nice book with the meals and ingredients. If you are a gluten free, you may have 4 options only. If you vegetarian or vegan you are fine. Food quality, I say is low, pork, chicken, duck are premade in a flour and can't be adjusted the same sauces (the gluten free can't eat). I ordered Singapour vermicelli with pork and shrimp. It's 3/10. I couldn't find pork and there were a few tiny shrimps, not much veggies too. I ate a 1000x better one. I wanted the fish soup, but by the recommendation I didn't order. Instead I ordered what I was recommended a fried chicken on rice. I thought that was a good choice....again... SURPRISE!!! I received an oily rice with a cooked and chewy chicken and a few green peas, no sauce, no veggies, nothing. More.... That costed the same price as other beautifully looking dishes of my friends. Please think whether you want to go to this restaurant...

Really enjoyed this place - slightly different atmosphere from other places in Chinatown and different menu - good veggie dim sum and really enjoyed it!

I was quite surprised to discover that place only has 3.8 starts. Food was delicious, interior cute and clean, staff very attentive and polite. I will definitely come back!

It used to be better !! The quality of food has fallen dramatically and the portions got smaller !! Not great service as well!

The dim sum was especially good. If you have a chance in Soho, be sure to go there.

The food was tasteless for most and half finished eating before the other half got the food. Otherwise, some were happy with the food they got, but generally pretty bad stuff

I ate here yesterday and threw up in the hotel two hours later... The waiter was also unfriendly and the light was too bright.

点心 鼠 Dim sum Rat thoughts: Yum cha over multiple levels on Gerrard Street in the heart of London Chinatown. Stylish interior and outside dining in summer. Standouts: Excellent dumplings, particularly: Mixed wild mushroom - delicious, deep, rich flavor Scallops and spinach dumpling Asparagus prawn dumpling Crispy bean curd with prawn paste cheung fun Very good refreshing selection of teas Not so good: They have strange way of serving chili oil with half Sriracha Service Can very good or very slow depending on the day.  You will need to be very assertive if dinning outside

Super tasty, friendly staff. Recommendation for anyone who likes Asian food.

Discovered by chance while walking through Chinatown. Friendly reception, the staff were also generally friendly. The food was very good.

food was amazing. so so nice. service was a bit slow and forgot a few things but the food made up for it

I’ve been here with my family, the food was okay but nothing special. They were fast but they weren’t so much attentive, the price was super expensive, and everything was so overpriced. We payed a lot more than what we ate and for how we ate. I definitely do not recommend it!.

Lovely food. Large vegetarian selection. Good and helpful service. We were very happy with the whole experience Thank you.

Service was awful. They just dump the food without saying anything. The beer came half way through the meal. A table of young (non coloured) people refused to pay service charge but were not questioned. When we refused, the manager started to confront us and raise her voice and say "oh boo hoo", I won't get paid now. She was very abrupt and made us want to exit quickly. Tip to manager: if you want service charge, give the service. Simple.

Took a long time to take our order, and most of the food was only lukewarm when it arrived. The staff were not friendly and did not smile. The food came in fits and starts and some people in our party were finished before others had even started. Mixed starter was quite expensive for what it is!

Used to be fine years ago, but it was really grim when I returned recently. Mopping the floor with boiling bleach while we were still eating was possibly the pinnacle of the poor service. At least it bordered on comically bad. Most of the food was cold and when we asked to have it reheated, it returned in the same form.

It’s okay but it’s expensive if price 12 it’s will be 20 because of tax

Queue efficiently managed and great food

On est au cœur du quartier chinois donc sans surprise les prix sont élevés mais la qualité des plats n’est malheureusement pas à la hauteur du prix. Le plats sont corrects mais sans grande explosion de saveur non plus. En gros : cuisine de cantine mais facturée au prix d’un bon restaurant. Le service est froid, sans conseils et au au lance pierre. Le touriste arrive, le touriste mange et le touriste part merci et au suivant. On ajoute à cela une carte extrêmement fournie certes mais difficile à comprendre et comme il faut passer commande vite pas le temps de se pencher vraiment dessus

I would definitely avoid this restaurant. Neither of the dishes we ordered bore any real resemblance to how they were described on the menu. The one with asparagus had only two tiny pieces, while a fermented chilli bean curd with vegetables only had vegetables. When we queried this with the staff, they were unhelpful. The prices were high, given the low quality of the food.

This place was amazing!! Accommodated us a family of 5 at short notice. The food was fabulous and so fresh and we managed not to over order. They even found us a karaoke room when the meal was finished which as a family of 5 with children aged 20,12. & 9 it was a memorable night for us. Decor is great and staff worked well together

The dim sum is in average here. But when compared to other China Town restaurant, it is not bad. But dim sum is more expensive than others

Food here was excellent absolutely lovely . Best ribs I've tasted . Service could have been better but overall would recommend 👌

Wonderful experience in the heart of Chinatown Staff very helpful. Food excellen. So much choice. We booked for peace of mind Very happy customers

The food ,when it came, was really good. Got the rice and noodles 10 min before the main dish so had cooled right down! Drinks took quite a while to come, (had to ask where they were)Beer was a bit warm. Overall not bad but probably try somewhere else on another visit to Chinatown

The food was excellent. Staff where lovely and coped very well as exstreamly busy . We will be back .

Great food and location! Food was really tasty! Cocktails could’ve done with more alcohol. Service could’ve been a bit faster as we had somewhere to go after!

Good value for money, nice food and incredible service. We felt very welcomed and looked after.

Terrible service, quite rude actually, food was not great, portions were small and very expensive. We couldn't finish the food as it wasn't great but because it's so expensive we asked for takeaway boxes and they charged us for it. Would not recommend. Rip off and really not worth it.

If you are passing through London, you must try this restaurant. It was a delight! He has several dishes that I didn't have time to take photos of because the plates were finished very quickly.

Loved the seating, and our food order was taken really quickly, and the food arrived quickly. The food itself was disappointing, I’ve had far better Chinese food in other places. Whilst the service was quick, there was no interaction, and the food was just put on the table without a smile or any conversation. There are far better places to go in London for Chinese.

Despite decent service, the kitchen is terrible, frozen and burnt dishes should be avoided!!!!!

Been here a few times now with friends Staff always get us a table straight away The food is really nice I love the canton style pork

The store is just a joke. It looks very inviting, but appearances can be deceiving. Food ranges from OK to bad, requests are not taken into account even though they write it down. You will be annoyed if the wrong water bottle is brought and the food is brought one at a time. The plates and cans are always cleared away during the meal and in the end you are indirectly thrown out through the direct bill after the meal

Best place for Dim Sum! Friendly staff and reasonable wait time considering how busy the area is. Highly recommended!

Dumplings nothing special but chicken with cashew nuts and ribs were great :) whole family enjoyed food ... I would come again ...

Best place to eat dumplings and rice! Custard buns absolutely 🔝

Run away. It's not good and we were charged for extra noodles even though we hadn't asked for anything. Do not go to this restaurant.

The food excellent. However, a service fee is applied, without notifying the customer. Excessive price due to that rate. The price of water also increases the total cost of food.

Great place with nice atmosphere with proper traditional cuisine. Delicious food and desserts. Good experience. Great serving in a nice traditional steaming pots. Big kettles of tea. Place stands out from the rest of the Chinese restaurants around.

Food was poor and very expensive for what was produced. I wouldn't recommend. Only nice dish was the Peking duck

Booked a table for a birthday meal. It has good service from staff. Food was excellent and every thing that was ordered was enjoyed. Especially enjoyed the mixed vegetable platter for vegetarians, all the little bites on there were super yummy. Definitely worth visiting.

Fantastic service, they happily altered the number of people on our booking on the same day. Absolutely delicious food, still be returning!

Halal chicken!!!! Ivan is a star! He was the best server.

very unfriendly. And disrespectful.

Good place for high quality food at a reasonable price. Convenient for theatre s.

I have been to loads of Chinese restaurants in Soho, this is the best by far in all respects.

Everything was great, we had dim sum and all of the things we tried were delicious. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! This restaurant is bar far one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to. I was there on Saturday 23rd of November. It was extremely busy but the efficiency of the staff to get people seated was so professional. They were calm and courteous throughout. The food was fresh, hot and beautifully presented. You must definitely try their dim sum, melt in your mouth and soooo delicious. If you like lychees, try the lychee cocktail, fabulous! Excellent customer service and always with a smile. We had an amazing evening. I will definitely be vising there again soon. Thank you to May for the great conversation and all the staff, who looked after us so well. See you soon! 😘

I’ve never been served by rude staff like this. We ordered some starters and in the end of our meal we decided to order some tea. Tea was horrible so after one sip we kindly asked to swap this tea to different one and the waitress told us that we can’t do that but we can order other one (and pay for both🤩) which is not normal already. when we received our bill,we saw that they charged us twice for 1 pot of tea because we were sharing. The waiter called manager and the manager told us that the price in the menu is per person which is weird as the size of tea pot is same as for 1 person. When we asked to remove service charge, manager became aggressive and extra rude. The worst experience in London. Never recommended this place if you’re looking for a place with good service. Food was nice though but wasn’t worth these negative emotions

Biiiig portions. Lots of vegan options with clear labelling.

Second time dining at Plum Valley. Both experiences were outstanding. The food is sublime—just the right level of spice, ingredients are fresh, perfectly cooked and plated. I’ll dine there any chance I get. Highly recommend.

Great Chinese restaurant serving lively food in nice surroundings

AVOID!!! Food was average at best. Service very poor. Management extremely agressive and rude. Be careful, they will try to force you to pay the service charge - which is completely illegal. Manager will try and take advantage of you by being agressive and rude. AVOID!

Avoid this restaurant and do yourself a favour and go to one of the many other dim sum restaurants in the area. Food was mid at best and the staffs were horrible. Upon receiving the bill, there was a 12.5% service charge added. When we told them we didn’t want that to be added, the waitress became aggressive and forced us to pay for it. This scam they’re running is clearly illegal, customers have the right to ask for service charge to be removed and yet they refused to and instead treated us with zero respect. Should make a report against their unethical business.

A fabulous menu at Plum Valley, delicious dinner Service excellent my daughter is vegetarian and its a huge vegetarian menu to choose from with lots of different choices for her def worth visiting

In the middle of Chinatown on Picadilly Circus you will find Plum Valley. A beautiful restaurant that reflects Asian diversity. I was particularly impressed by the large selection of vegetarian dishes. The service is delicious and I would happily come back.

Amazing food and service I got the Hong Kong wind shelter bay king prawn fried vermicelli noodles and could really taste the sheltered winds of the bay.

Upon enquiry why the tip prompt was still showing on the payment terminal, I was told that the discretionary (but of course, for groups, automatically added) service charge (still) does not go to employees, despite the venue stating it does on several places. Tips do seem to go to employees. I can't verify it, obviously, but at the very least it's contradicting information. In any case, the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 is in full force since 1 October 2024. Visit was on 9 November 2024.

My friends & I enjoyed our meals & the service was good.

This is one of my favourite places in Chinatown if you're looking for some mouth watering dimsums or some juice pork belly. The only problem with the restaurant is its service. They have a limited staff so it might be a while before anyone comes to take your order. The food at the end makes it all worth it though.

Some of the best vegetarian tofu options in Chinatown. My go to when I’m going for Chinese food, would recommend the green tea

Great food and service in a sophisticated but relaxed atmosphere. Loved the rainbow dim sum.

Very overpriced place I wouldn’t recommend overall. We were sat in the basement which was quite claustrophobic and smelly so be aware of that . Only a few plates were worth the money.

If you’re looking for Dim sum in chinatown this is the place to go. I’ve tried many places in this area but thia has to be the best so far. Atmosphere is beautiful, service was great and the food was out of the world! Must try the Lotus Sticky Rice. So delicious, 100% this is my first choice every time when I go out for dim sum. Best part is they serve dim sum all day!
