Steam Restaurant in Hammersmith and Fulham

Vine aquí por comida antes de un concierto y fue un hallazgo brillante! Excelente servicio, buena comida y precios muy razonables. No puedo entender por qué es tan tranquilo cuando es un lugar tan brillante. Sin duda volveremos!

This was really disappointing. I love south east asian food and I was really excited after reading the reviews online. So me and my mother come for dinner and there was barely anyone in the restaurant on a Friday evening (red flag number one). We sit down and order the dim sum platter, prawn crackers, char sui boa, peaking duck, wonton soup, broccoli with oyster sauce and steamed rice. It took 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive with the prawn crackers (which is a long time for an empty restaurant (red flag number 2)). My mum loved the dim sum and said it was delicious and I loved the char sui boa. However the pork in the char sui boa was in large chunks which was a bit odd. However it turned down hill, the wonton's in the soup were good but the broth was watery and there was a ridiculous amount of noodles in it as well. The peeking duck was the worse I have had in my life, in the words of my mother 'it was like chewing on leather'. It was dry and seemed to be at least two days old. And out waiters response was 'that's how it is traditionally done' (at least it was removed from our bill). The sauce for the peeking duck was very gritty and unappetising. The next thing to arrive was the broccoli it was swimming in a gelatinous sauce and although it wasn't the worst part of the meal it still wasn't great. And now to the most disappointing part of the meal, the rice. It arrived last and was over cooked. It was also cold and seemed to have been cooked in too much water. Avoid this place if you can.

Love dim sum? You must go to this fantastic place in Hammersmith. Exquisite and delectable dim sum, every beautifully shaped bite an explosion of flavour, incredible value and charming service. Went for dinner on a recommendation and was blown away by how good it is. Dim sum platter, a mere £12, 7 parcels of colourful steaming delight, wasabi prawn, crabmeat, fennel and sea bass, squid ink prawn and squid were particularly good. Ginger beef and pan fried Beijing pork are also superb. This chef really knows what he's doing, flavour combinations, both traditional and modern, are well balanced, finely textured, and each dumpling a hand made sculpture on the plate. Service from Latif was attentive and charming. Including drinks we spent £60 for 2 but you could easily spend far less, we were splashing out. Such a feast would be at least double anywhere else.Tucked away down King St this small place deserves to be packed out. Stunning.

Fantastic food and friendly service. Can’t understand why this place is so quiet on a Saturday lunchtime. Would recommend. Freshly made dim sum - delicious!

Had our dinner there because of its good rating. Food is ok, variety not very wide, price a little on the high side. Upside is it’s quite empty compare to the Japanese few doors away.

We visited this restaurant last night. It was a Sunday so very quiet but the food was excellent. Extremely high quality and flavoursome dim sum and very reasonably priced.

Definitely a hidden gem, absolutely amazing. We had spring rolls, sui mai, three sets of dumplings and a chicken noodle dish for about £30. The food was absolutely gorgeous, so fresh and the whole vibe of the restaurant is immaculate, would recommend to anyone!

Freshly made Dim Sums, we have mix plater and exceptionally delicious and had mains of noodles and fried rice. Overall experience was spot on. I would highly recommend!!!

If only I had known Steam was here 4 years ago; no need to visit China Town! While the Dim Sum selection is a little narrower than in China Town, and maybe a bit more expensive, the dishes are excellent, freshly cooked and delicious; every bit as good as in most of the restaurants I have eaten Dim Sum in China Town. It would be nice not to pay for your pot of tea (or at least less), but the tea too is excellent. I have no reservations in recommending the Dim Sum and will certainly be back again.

Steam is a hidden gem in Hammersmith. The restaurant itself doesn’t have much in terms of signage so it’s easy to miss when walking down king street. The food is delicious and well priced. We usually get 4 plates to share between two and it’s usually around £30 total including drinks. Fantastic choice for vegetarians - vegetable bao buns and crispy tofu are our favourites. Service is always excellent and the food comes out quickly. If you’re in Hammersmith then you should definitely check it out!

The images of the food on the website look good. If you want food out of the freezer and heated up on site then this place is for you. If you want something more authentic, look elsewhere.

I must say that lunch was ok not wow and for Hammersmith prices are expensive for the small food portions. Dim Sum seabass with fennel, for £5.20 for 3 tiny tiny pieces : could hardly taste seabass and fennel! The 3 prawn dumplings tasted ok but again 3 for £4.20 is a bit expensive! Same goes for Wan tan soup but at least it was priced under 4 pounds. These are restaurant prices and Steam is a café rather than a proper restaurant so prices are not justifiable...

This place is our favourite local restaurant. It is a hidden gem of bao goodness with a great variety of food. The dumplings are always fresh and interesting and the salt and pepper squid is amazing! It is always of great quality, the service is always brilliant and we love it! Definitely make a trip here!

Excellent dumplings and friendly service. I’m a local and this is my favourite place for a treat, takeaway or a meal with friends. Thank you for always serving delicious dumplings!

Stayed in Hammersmith and didn't want to travel out to eat. Saw Steam featured on Opentable's website and had 4 star rating. Unfortunately, this was not or be. The service was very slow with just 1 server for the whole restaurant. Although the food was quite cheap, the quality of the food like steamed dimsum was just not good. Much nicer dimsum and fried noodles can be eaten at either London Chinatown or at Bayswater area. If you want good Chinese food, I would suggest that you make some effort to travel out and not go to this one.

Got a small selection of dim sum, carelessly delivered late by Deliveroo, and was not in the least impressed. Overpriced and mean portions. I find it hard to believe that they make all on their menu. Some look like stuff you can get in a Chinese supermarket. The smallest spring rolls in London with meagre fillings were probably made on the premises. Unbelievably expensive and worse than yer local greasy Chinese take-away.

Very good dumplings at high prices in somewhat cold interior with stone floors and mixture of stools and more comfortable seats at tables. Dumplings were excellent. Very delicate.However, was shocked to be charged £4.20 for jasmine tea for one person. Some Chinese restaurants have a...

We stopped here for an early lunch so had our pick of the tables. Good menu choices with plenty of steamed dim sum, all of which were excellent. We didn't have to wait long for the food to be cooked and it arrived piping hot....

This is a modern feeling Chinese serving all day dim sum (very welcome) and other stable favourites. The food is very good, I loved the sea bass dim sum and prawn and chive, we had a lot of these dishes plus noodles and vegetables and...

We tried this restaurant based on trip advisor reviews, and certainly were not disappointed. Their dum sum was delicious, as were the steamed pork chui buns. The duck was also very nice. Very good value for money, Can't wait to come back!

nice environment and great food, i'll come again for a healthy and fast meal,prices were reasonable and the service impeccable. Well worth a visit and we will returning

Absolutely brilliant place. Great, very tasty food. Lots of variety. Very fair price. We went for a family dinner 4 people for less than 65 pounds including drinks and all if us were very satisfied or completely full ( and we do not eat just...

Attended on a Thursday. Wasn’t offered a drink until my partner arrived. A couple of menu items not available (could have told us when they brought the menu rather than when we ordered). Ordered dim sum platter as a starter but our mains arrived first...

I love dim sum and I really want this restaurant to do well so that whenever I'm shopping in Hammersmith, I can get my fill of dim sum. This was my second visit. The first was better and would have scored higher but my latest...

Just got back from this cosy restaurant. We love their dim sum - all freshly cooked and delicate. Their pastry isn’t stodgy, it’s exactly the right balance. It’s become our fave place for a nice lunch or early dinner. Also, the fact that you can...

Have been walking by this restaurant many times and finally decided to try them for dinner. Food was delicious and freshly made, we had 6 dishes bewteen 2 and that was plenty of food. Salt and peppar squid plus the soft shell crab was extra...

We had an excellent Sunday lunch at Steam. Lovely dim sum and aromatic duck, very nice cooking and a pleasant relaxed ambience. We’ll be back!

I must write this review, because i feel this place is not recognized as it should be. I have been in HK, and the food of this place is really really good compared to the actual one. Never disappointed by the food + it is...

Wrote a review a year or so ago and food was great but service was dreadful. We’ve had Deliveroo from Steam every couple of weeks since but not wanted to eat in. Went again tonight and was epic. So fresh, way better than Hakassan or...

Incredible food. Good value. Not fancy but totally delicious. Don’t expect frills. Well worth a visit.

Best dim sum I've had in London, I highly recommend it for anyone who wants freshly made dim sum, especially loved the radish cake!

the food was wonderful, especially the dim sum. The restaurant vibe was great, friendly service and I shall definitely be returning again and again

Dined here on a Thursday night prior to a gig at the Hammersmith Apollo. Food was superb, with the duck buns and the ginger beef dumplings a particular highlight. Decor is nice, crisp, modern and the service was very welcoming. Ribs could have been a...

Well we just finished a wonderful meal at steam, all the food was well cooked and tasty, the service was perfect not to slow not to fast just right for the food style, the pork bao was some of the best I have had, thank...

Spent about £18 each for a meal for two. The variety of the menu was OK, but the dim sum and food was pretty good quality, definitely better than the average Chinatown level. Nothing exceptional but would definitely go again given the opportunity.

Restaurant was empty when I went with my wife on a Thursday evening, lacked atmosphere. Menu had several items we looked forward to picking. All food we ordered was good, but the sauces were quite boring, it would be nice to jazz them up a...

We visited this restaurant on a weekday evening for a Chinese meal. We read online that it specialised in dim sum but we had hoped that it would have a greater selection of other dishes then it actually did. Food was very pleasant service was...

I found the dim sum here to be of a much higher quality than anything usually supplied elsewhere, particularly in presentation and choice of fillings. Impressive. You will try some things here you've not been offered elsewhere, some fantastic combinations of fillings. The ambience of...

Slightly more expensive than average, but each dish was completely individual with crisp, fresh flavours. Everything was fresh, cooked in fresh oil and several dishes I have not come across before. The premises was clean, had a spotless bathroom and waiters were really nice and...

Delicious meal. Hot fresh dumplings. Something for everyone. Service with a smile. Lovely clean decor. This is now a local favourite.

We had a late Sunday lunch here. The Staff were lovely and food was tasty. Nothing special but a good safe bet.

Yesterday we popped in as walk-ins, we had a lovely food experience. The waiter who accommodated us was smiling and made us feel welcome. We ordered quite a few dumplings as it was our first time there and all of them looked inviting. My favourite...

Have lived in Hammersmith for a while now and didn't realise this place was here, don't normally head that way down kings street. On the search for bao this place came up and it defiantly fulfilled my craving. The steamed bao were delicious, especially the...

Had chicken satay and Malaysian chicken curry. The satay was almost inedible. Really tough meat and the quality of the chicken in the curry was equally dreadful. Tasteless, rubbery texture. There were supposed to be potatoes in the curry. I found one cube about a...

Amazing dim sum and super friendly and efficient service. Will definitely be returning, glad to have some decent local dim sum out west :-D

This dim sum restaurant was recommended to us by a friend as I was looking for a teenage girl friendly place to celebrate my partner's birthday. A welcoming and modern dining environment combined with friendly and attentive staff makes for a great first impression. The...

Get the sample platter for £10 as a starter to gauge what you like then ordered more of that kind. Then order buns if you still have capacity.

Exceptional dim sum - never taster better. Fresh ingredients, freshly made, mouth-watering stuff. Knocks Chinatown into a cocked hat - although anyone who thinks that eating dim sum in Chinatown is a great culinary experience is either a tourist or has no taste buds. Make...

Booked here for after a birthday party. Really nice staff and even better food! Great dim sum, great rice dishes and chicken satay skewers. Even the wine was very good and reasonable. Prices very reasonable and we will be back!

What a great find yesterday! Had dim sum on a Sunday afternoon and what a treat! Really enjoyed it! All the dumplings tasted different - don't know what that other reviewer is talking about. The loos are clean and the restaurant has a modern feel....

Okay, it's not Hakkasan. Food isn't quite as good, but the value is in a different league. We just went for the dim sum, and it was all excellent. Maybe a little more seasoning on a couple of the dumplings, but with soya sauce to...

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend.. The service was excellent and the waiters were incredibly nice, so I kind of feel bad writing this review.. however the dumplings just weren't good enough.. It wasn't terrible or foul-tasting, but really nothing you will remember...

I went to steam in 17th Feb. The dumplings were the best ever. Really good food. Also love the chilly sauce. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back

My friend and I saw the restaurant on a Sunday when were looking for places to eat so we walked in, and we certainly weren't disappointed~ We were first greeted by a very friendly waiter who sat us down, the service throughout was actually very...

My boyfriend and I stopped by en route to the Sipsmiths distillery tour. Having a random craving for bao, I googled 'Bao Hammersmith' and came up with this place. At 5pm we were the first in the restaurant but service was great and both the...

We ordered a takeaway to pickup as didn't fancy eating out. The guy that took my order was very polite and I was pleased to learn it would only take 10 minutes to cook before I had to pickup. Walking to the restaurant I walked...

Very good indeed - Stopped in on "Steam" by Hammersmith town hall for a late midweek lunch with son having seen some good reviews; not disappointed - I would be quite happy to receive food like this in soho or hong kong. Friendly welcome in...

This was my favourite restaurant on this street for a while, but service and food has declined in the recent months and less veggie food on the menu is available and often run out. still worth a visit. Bak choi in Garlic is a fav!

Large choice and very tasty dim sums. Plain decor, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Really enjoyed it!

We were staying nearby and visited the Steam restaurant by chance. The dim sum was excellent fresh and full of flavour one comment "best dim sum ever". Only slight drawback was limited wine choice. However very well priced and highly recommended

We visited one weekday lunchtime. It was very quiet so we were unsure but the menu looked amazing so we took a chance... and were very glad we did. The food was absolutely fantastic.

This local restaurant is a real treasure. The lunch time dim sum are exquisite. Fresh, tasty, delicate and beautiful to look at. Much better than some of the restaurants in China Town. The prices are reasonable and the staff are charming.

Run, don't walk to try the chicken and sweetcorn Dim Sum. They fill you up so don't order too many. Order one or 2 and then order more of you still feel hungry Great decore and service. Loved it

I've had a lot of dumplings in my time. I lived in Sydney, where dim sum/yum cha was a weekend brunch thing. Here I found one of the best dumpling places I've ever tried. The food is excellent. The ingredients are clearly fresh (and identifiable)....

Visited here for a quick lunch as it's very close to my work. All the dim sum we tried were delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Food was reasonably priced and I would definitely visit again!

I love this low key spot. No pressure, easy dining. The food is good, the price keen and staff attentive. Been here twice, despite not being a local.

I am the young lady that the person below refers to as being bullied. Firstly I thank the person who posted their review. I went to this restaurant for the third time. The first was very good but the second not so good - they...

We had been eating so many different foods during our stay we realized we had not had Chinese. Tripadvisor never lets me down. This was a great meal that I wouldn't have found otherwise since it is a little off the main section of Hammersmith....

What a disaster! Here's how it started. Brought the wrong dish out and when the lady said they didn't order it, the waitress got angry and argued. The lady insisted that she ordered the right thing and the waitress insisted she took the right order....

Purely by chance we pop in this restaurant because most restaurant nearby don't open for Sunday lunch, The seating are comfortable, the staffs are friendly and the food they serve are high standard.

It's not easy to find restaurants that serve dim sum in the evenings. Steam Restaurant was a fab found, in West London! The decor is modern and the waiter and waitress were welcoming. They have a good selection of dim sums and some of them...

It is easy to miss this place, located on a busy street full of many different restaurants. Eating there, though, was a real treat. I just kept ordering dim sum after dim sum; all were delicious and there is loads to choose from, including side...

I brought my wife to this restaurant as we were going to an event in the area on the evening we dined here, and after reading the good reviews on TripAdvisor we chose this as our destination. We arrived late for our booking and only...

Our grandkids had been asking for dim sum and after an online search, found Steam Restaurant. Apparently it has only been open for less than a year. Good news to find a Chinese restaurant so well located. The interior is simple yet has a clean...

Friendly staff good food selection on offer is great value for money music in the background would recommend

This Dim Sum restaurant is really really good. You get a really good snap of Cantonese food, homemade and I really felt like I was back in the days in HK ! Really recommend !

Coming from Vancouver, Canada, we are used to having amazing Chinese food and Dim Sum. We have found one or two places in China Town but now that we've found Steam, we have no need to go anywhere else. The service is very attentive which...

Amazing cheap and delicious dim sum. Such a nice little find for amazing dim sum. A great find for south west London - try it

Excellent hidden gem of a restaurant. Has got even better in recent weeks. Try all of the dim sum (especially the one called "goldfish") and the fried raddish cake. Delicious

Wasn't very impressed on my first visit but decided to come back due to proximity after craving for dim sum. This time, I really really enjoyed it! I love the Mango chicken and the vietnamese spring rolls! I am giving 4* as I wish they...

Really fresh and delicious both dim sum and especially beef fillets in black sauce. Will be back. Service impeccable.

I've been eyeing this new-ish little restaurant for some time. It's right by the bus stop for Hammersmith Town Hall in a drab part of drab ol' King Street Hammersmith. I popped in at lunch time for a bowl of won ton soup and some...

Ordered a variety of dim sum. They were all horrible, i complained to the waitress who could not understand a word of english. When she took my order i had to point to the numbers on the menu not one word of english. So when...

Just been to Steam for the 5th time! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and the dim sum is as good as in Hong Kong. The prawn crackers are incredible, bums fluffy, steamed dim sum is light and delicious and the crispy duck...

I had such a delicious lunch at this wonderful restaurant on Friday that I came back with my family for a Sunday night dinner. It was yet another taste bud tantalising experience. We enjoyed every dish - and as each dish comprises 3 pieces it...

Fantastic homemade fresh Dim sum. Sea bass and fennel and prawn and wasabi were excellent. Service is superb. So attentive but un intrusive. Great find. Well done

Amazing food, made with lots of love. The scallop crab sui mai was a wonderful recommendation. Friendly service, great location. Fresh dumplings, some of the best I have had.

We've been to Steam twice now and both times have been hugely impressed, the first visit was my first experience of dim sum and what a great place to try it. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff very attentive. The menu is nicely...

Not being ravenously hungry the nephew and I had a selection of dim sum here for an evening meal. We shared 6 different ones and tasted each other's choices. All of the dim sum were very tasty indeed, full of different flavours and aromas. Some...

It is our first time at Steam restaurant. Nice location and spacious. Friendly staff and acceptable price We tried the steamed prawn dumpling, fried prawn dumpling, chicken bun, egg fried rice and beef with ginger. All were good. I advise to enrich the dim sum...

Went for lunch with 5 colleagues. The bbq pork steamed buns are delicious, like a heavenly cloud on the tongue! We also tried various dumplings, all were really tasty. We had a lovely helpful and smiling waitress. Next time will go for dinner and try...

I enjoyed this place so much I went back within a week. I found the food delicious, the service was quick and courteous. This will become a new regular.

deeelicious! we stuffed ourselves with a delicious selection of every section. the service was kawaii and the toilets look super cool. defo *recommend!

Not an authentic Cantonese dim sum. Dim sum is not fresh, but looks defrosted. Other dishes are extremely greasy, even a simple bak choi sauteed with garlic and onion was swimming in oil. Personnel is very friendly and helpful. Environment feels clean, but a bit...

The best Shanghai xiaolong I have had in a really long time. All the dim Sumer tried were excellent and the service was really polite courteous and informative. One more point worth mentioning is the good vegetarian selection. We will definitely come again even though...

I love Steam- we went to Hakassan recently and the dim sum was better at steam and a fraction of the price. All dim sum dishes have been outstanding. Definitely five star and better than Shikumen in Shepherds Bush (which is also great). The steamed...

After The Emperor Cafe closed on Kings Road the hunt for a reasonably priced good Dim Sum outside Chinatown proved fruitless. The search is over.

We went for something quick before going to see a show. We'd never tried dim sum before so weren't sure how much to order but the staff gave us advice. As there were 7 of us we ordered 2 of the things we fancied which...

Lovely manager always super friendly, amazing dim sum, we've been loads and it's always great and love the bbq pork puff

What a great addition to the food scene in the Hammersmith and Chiswick area! Great freshly cooked Dim Sum, super-fast and friendly service at a decent price. As good as any we have had in London (and Singapore too). Particularly recommend the salt and pepper...
