Tongxin in Dartford

Very good food, although slightly annoyed we were never told about the buffet menu that was on offer which would have made the meal cheaper as was expensive.

The food &service here is extremely good, staff could smile more.

Unfortunately did not get to eat the food. Delivery driver could not find the address and then marked as delivered as she couldn’t be bothered anymore.

In 29th of November 2024. I had a disappointing experience at Tong Xin Restaurant that left a sour taste in my mouth. My family and I were looking forward to a pleasant dining experience, but our evening was unfortunately tainted by the behavior of a waiter in a white uniform. Right from the beginning, his demeanor was far from welcoming. When my parents politely asked about a dish that was clearly listed on the menu, the waiter not only insisted it was unavailable but did so in a brusque manner, giving us unnecessary attitude. His dismissive tone was unsettling and made us feel quite uncomfortable. To make matters worse, when we expressed our willingness to wait despite the restaurant being busy, instead of accommodating us, he rudely remarked that if we wanted to wait, we should, otherwise we should leave. He then abruptly walked away, leaving us feeling disrespected and unwelcome. Such behavior is unacceptable in any establishment, particularly one that prides itself on customer service. We had no choice but to leave this place as a result of his action. This experience was truly disappointing, and I sincerely hope that the management of Tong Xin Restaurant addresses this issue promptly to ensure that future patrons are treated with the respect and courtesy they deserve.

Very good dim sum. The bean curd and prawn mince cheung fun was especially good! Deffo come back again!

I ordered delivery for the first time as we are trying different takeaways in the new area. This was very good! Would definitely recommend. Only took 30 minutes to arrive and was still hot. Thank you!

Summrized in the picture. Authentic dim sum !! You can taste the love from those dimsum master. Handmade の Recommended if you are a dimsum lover ❤️

Lovely and authentic Hong Kong styled dim sum.

I've been here a lot the dimsum measures up to any dimsum restaurant in the world that I've been to.

First visit to the restaurant, recommended by a friend. Good authentic yum cha. Quite busy at Sunday lunch. Make sure you book ahead.

This is an excellent chisese restaurant. Very authentic. It is filled with Chinese people, which is a good sign. Food is lovely. A bit more expensive than a standard Chinese restaurant but you get what you pay for. If you like Chinese food this is a place to travel to even if its further than you would usually travel to get to a restaurant. The best Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at. This is a great Chinese restaurant. Very authentic. It was packed with Chinese people, which was a good sign. The food is delicious. A little more expensive than regular Chinese restaurants, but worth every penny. If you like Chinese food, this is a place worth visiting, even if it's further than your usual trip to a restaurant. This is the best Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at.

I ordered from here despite the obscene prices because I was told it’s incredible but my opinion is it’s nothing special at all, getting basmati rice from a Chinese was a weird experience, not awful but not a great meal, wouldn’t return

Order 11 dishes Mixed seafood crispy noodles they replace Scallop with white fish is horrible and no taste at all. The thai style chicken claws was grainy not sure if it's undissolved seasoning and the rest was ok

Best chinese restaurant in dartford, food always well flavoured, and great service.

Duck is too salty to a point can’t eat it any more than 1/3 of the order. Why is it so salty ? Too much oil as well. On the other hand, the fried noodle is no taste at all. Can’t figure out who cook these food and sell to customers . Overpriced

I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant for lunch with my coworkers, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff carried themselves with such professionalism and focus, ensuring everything was running smoothly. They were incredibly efficient, which I really appreciated during a busy lunch hour. I had a unique request about having my food served on separate plates, and although there was an additional charge for this, it was clear that the restaurant takes pride in upholding its policies. It’s wonderful to see a place that values its standards so highly! Overall, it was a great experience, and though I might explore other options next time, I can definitely see why this place is so popular!

Great place to have dim sum. We got a table very quickly and the dim sum were good and better than the ones in central London Service was really quick, prices are reasonable and portion size is big. Will definitely come back

Went to this place today with my work , for lunch Staff was so rude didn’t smile , was hard to have a conversation with wasn’t Friendly at all I requested that if they could separate my food on to individual plates as I don’t like my food touching they refused this saying I had to pay more etc which I don’t think is right as they was also very rude about this I don’t think it’s hard to just put it on to two different plates Will not being going here again

I ordered special fried rice with salt and pepper ribs and that the worst I’ve tasted plus it was unnecessarily pricey for the rubbish that I ate

Party of 4 of us. We went for buffet. This was one of the best Chinese I have been to. Starters were very nice (wanted more but glad I didn't). The mains we had duck, black bean beef, satay beef, sui pork, smoked duck, chicken curry. All were lovely. We got a second portion of these. The egg fried rice was the best I have ever had. Rice had flavour that never had before. Noodles with bean sprouts were nice but nothing new. Over all I would recommend. Price was good also.

The most Delicious Dimsum I’ve tasted at Kent. The service was great.

Ordered crispy duck, a few dim sum dishes and a noodle dish for 2. I think the portion sizes are really large, but I'm not sure if the taste is all there. The crispy duck was extremely dry, it had the same texture as dried jerky. The croquette was tasty but it didn't come out hot. The ribs should have be marinated longer. I think if I'm craving dim sum and haven't been to Asia, then I would probably think the restaurant is very authentic. Nice atmosphere with many full tables and service was prompt. Be careful, there is a charge for hot water. 3.5/5

Excellent food, if a little pricey. However, that said, I have not tasted food of this quality for a long time. Best busy restaurant, so do book.

A typical Dimsum restaurant with Cantonese speaking staff. Food is very good, although I wasn't a fan of the chicken feet. However, I do not like chicken feet so this is just a biased opinion. My friends love the chicken feet so it is probably very good.

This is hands down the best Hong Kong style dim sum restaurant in the area. Everything on the menu is spot on.

Good tasty Chinese food. Good place to dine in as a small or large group. Take away service also available.

Well worth the money. Good food, fine service. £50 for 2 people, totally stuffed, drinks and a tip. Can't complain.

Chinese food here is beautiful.

I love it! All food delicious 😋 I always bring my family to taste some good Chinese food and I'm never disappointed! Lovely atmosphere too 👌 Highly recommended!

they got my order wrong, I got a refund. on my next order the food was completely inedible. straight in the bin. never again.

The pork chop came opened and small in size, compared to the money paid. Not worth the price.

12.5% SERVICE CHARGE added on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite good actually. We had dim sum and it was delicious. I will go again to try other dishes aswell. Thank you 🫶

We went for dinner , overpriced for buffet and other foods , food was ok , limited varieties on buffet , but one of the staff was rude , he didn’t even replied back when we said thank you !! Very rude tone , they charged service charge of £12 extra , which was not worth it what we get . Not going back again ! The staffs need to be more welcoming smiley nature not rude ! One of the young staff with glasses was rude , he needs to be well trained , the kitchen staffs who served foods was good . We paid more than £100 for dinner but the waiter guy with glasses ruined our evening ! Sorry to say ! Not going back !overpriced , Scam! This is Dartford lol, I am happy to pay in central London rather than this place !!

the delivery man was very well mannered.great

Excellent quality food that always arrives hot. Unequivocally recommended

Great food, brilliant afternoon tea time

Unexpected gem! Everyone loved this place.

Thank you for your service today. Food was delightful.

If God came down from heaven for a day and made just one meal...this is what it would taste like!! 10/10 the BEST FOOD I've eaten my whole life!! I have been to my fair share of Chinese or east Asian restaurants. East Asian cuisines like Thai, Chinese, Cantonese are my go to confort food. But this place?? I order the Crispy Pork belly with steamed rice and oh good lord I've been transported to heaven! It's so good I've paused my eating just to write this! If you are ever in Dartford please please please do not miss this place!!! I haven't even finished and I'm already so full from just the one dish!! (And I'm a heavy eater mind you) And all for just 11 pounds!!?? This is food heaven!

Really good dim sum. Decent portion and size! It's recommended to book in advance as it's a very busy place (we went Sunday noon)

I absolutely loved the Dim sum here (served until 5pm on weekends and during lunchtime in the week) Everything was great but we especially enjoyed the Siu Mai, Cheung Fun, Turnip cake, char siu buns and egg custard tarts. The staff are very attentive and constantly topping up your tea. We had an absolute feast with a few dishes to take home and it only came to around £50 with drinks. I can't wait to return and work my way through more of the Dim sum menu as well as the full menu.

Great little local Chinese restaurant with good service and tasty food, if I could pick one thing to improve it would be the drinks selection to include herbal/decaff green also. Apart from that was a pleasant visit and would go again.

The dim sum is good, but the fried river is dry.

Great authentic dim sum. Will drive the half hour to get here rather than our local!

Good quality Chinese food. Cooked to home-made standard. Fresh ingredients. Good size portions.

Authentic Chinese food, cooked fresh and from scratch, rather than the usual stir fried pastes used across Chinese stores. There is a regular menu, a Dim Sum menu (surprisingly rare to find in Chinese stores), and a buffet menu option. Each item from the buffet is also made fresh on request. Many unique options and potential combinations. It's healthier (being authentically made), but also costs more. Fishes (like lobster or bass) change price with seasonal availabilty. Staff is very nice, attentive without prompting (orders and replacing teas plates and drinks) and happy to share recommendations and complementary suggestions. They'll try to point out for instance what can go on its own, and what needs complementary mains (meat/vegetables and sauce). If you're unsure what to have with what, feel very free to inquire. A brilliant place for Chinese food, without the concern of feeling groggy or having too much salt. However, the great taste, options not found in other Chinese stores, service and healthiness come at a litteral and notable price.

Best restaurant we've been to in this area. Fantastic menu choices. Well worth what we paid for our meal. 🍲🫕✌️

Worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely no flavour in anything

Went for the first time last night. Best Chinese meal I've had in years. Food was amazing and very good value for money.

Great good portions from the buffet,great staff,good price for what you get, would deffo visit again

Fantastic food, and portions are great! Definitely worth visiting. Will try the dim sum next time. Lot of veggie options as well

Poor quality and overpriced food... Very poor value for money... I'm very disappointed...

My order has not been delivered

Wow lovely food and yes finally somewhere near that dose fresh dim sum near !!! Everything tasted fresh and not greasy ! Thank you will be back soon

Despite the decorations are old fashioned, the dim sum and dishes are very good and price is reasonable where it located in the middle of the town.

Greasy food, ridiculously expensive. Forced to pay for massive portions that you’re unable to finish!! £100 for 2 people. Staff are also rude Do not go there.

Very poor Chinese food. The duck was really rubbery and fatty, no crispness at all. The sweet and sour chicken and beef and black bean tasted like they’ve been heated up in a microwave. Let down as the food used to be top quality.

Parked at Acacia car park, a short walk from the restaurant. We arrived at a little past 12 pm (when they opened their doors) and was sat down quickly by a friendly waitress. Really fresh dim sum. Well cooked in every aspect. Nothing felt stodgy or oily, which is often the case. Every dish we had though was very satisfying! The fried dishes were nice and crisp whilst the steamed dishes were steamed just right. ...I hate going to restaurants where the steamed dishes have been oversteamed and is all soggy and unappetising to look at! We actually over ordered as we wanted to try so many things but was ultimately defeated! We had lots of leftovers to take home and eat the next day! 😋 Would definitely come again even though it is quite far for us. The quality of the dim sum is as good as from any good restaurant you would get in London china town or Hong Kong! Delicious!! Great food, great service! Keep up the good work, Tong Xin!

Good food, tasty as always, but I think one of the noodle dishes we ordered had no seasoning

Have had a great cantonese dinner meal and also had dim sum lunch before here, too. Both times have hit the spot for my yearning for good old southern chinese comfort food cravings.

Really good service and the food was lovely. Very little waiting time between order and delivery and the atmosphere was brilliant.

Absolutely delicious food, The staff are really kind and attentive. The chicken curry is the best I've had. Thank you 😊

Over price food that isn't that great.

We visited the restan and were impressed. We were greeted by very friendly staff. We had lunch at the buffet and the food was very tasty. Everything was prepared after our order, so we can be sure of the quality of the dishes. I highly recommend the restaurant. The best restaurant in Dartford.

They had very hospitable staff, the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try good Chinese cuisine.

Vegetable chow mein were stale & salty and not edible. The curry sauce was swimming in oil and was a very thin consistency. Fried rice definitely was not ‘fried’. Just seemed to have egg mixed in with boil rice. It’s the second time our food delivery didn’t come as the standards when we used to order. Won’t be ordering again.

I ordered yesterday it was absolutely disgusting the nuddels soooooo oily I couldn't eat the nudels cold very disappointed

This place make me feel nervous a bit but the food was good!

Wonderful food - everything we were looking for . Had Char Sui with crispy noodles .

Great food with great customer service..

Excellent dinner, one of my top Chinese meals of all time. The Peking Duck and crispy pork belly were particular highlights.

Good food, loved the sharing platter for two. Food was very tasty. Highly recommend the pan fried whole seabass. Top notch.

we normally go and eat in and love it. the takeaway was disappointing. ordered three noodle dishes two with vegetables and one seafood dish (which was £15.80 alone!) and it was literally just that: noodles. for 36 quid including discount and no prawn crackers thrown in this was very poor value for money. shame really.

I was disappointed with the fujian rice .. the meat pieces (chicken, duck and seafood) in the gravy were so tiny .. you couldn’t even taste the duck and my seafood pieces were non existent .. not a meal i would be ordering again

NEVER DELIVERED! Last time ever.

Service is the best here! Very attentive. Dimsum is always good. Would recommend the fried prawn dumplings with salad cream. The sauce is different from the other restaurants, its my favourite! There's parking around the restaurant.

Lovely place, great food just a touch cold - the place not the food! Great service

Food was never delivered. Most dissapointing

Excellent dim sum in Kent! Will definitely be busy on weekends so make sure you book. The evening menu is also very very good

Food is good taste and good price Nice staff

Most of the dim sums are top class. Food quality is good. it is a busy restaurant. I can recommend it.

By far the best Chinese food I've had outside of London.

Fried rice was very oily, you can see a thick layer of oil at the bottom. Ordered again to see if it was a one off situation, but it was still the same. Disappointing considering that it is more expensive compared to other places.

This is the best Chinese restaurant, outside of London itself. Because it's an actual authentic Cantonese restaurant, obviously all the Chinese (myself included) figured this out as soon as we saw the roast ducks hanging in the window. Support this place as I heard they might not be renewing the license on their property

I haven’t received the food that was ordered, despite it reportedly being delivered? My friend had rang asking where the food is, they claim it’s delivered also?

The Dim sum here is the BEST!! The portions are great, food flavourful and prices amazing. I have sat down to eat and ordered and the quality is always the same, very high!!

For our dim sum fix there is nothing better. I would argue this is just as good (some dishes are even better here) then Chinatown and Yi Ban.

Best Dim Sum restaurant in this region.

在倫敦東部，食物點心不錯，附近泊車1鎊1小時，附近有小型market

Food, service and ambience was amazing. Great gift while we are passing through Dartford. Plan to come back tomorrow! Thank you 🙏🏼

WHAT A SHOCK!!! £13.50 of this potion of pork belly??? I wish I open the take away box to check when I went to collect it. Never come back to this place⛔️⛔️⛔️

Tasted authentic but not sure if the Ma Po Tofu was vegetarian as claimed - seem like I can taste beef.

Great to go to for Dim Sum, haven't been for evening meal, but have got takeaway from here, and the quality is great. Lots of classic dishes for dim sum, we definitely prefer to visit Tong Xin to some places in London.

The roast duck mixed noodles was mainly bones with skin on top, the “mixed” noodles was all Vermicelli, no sauce very dry, total waste of money. Lucky my wife shared her dish with me. Will stick with my usual cheaper Chinese takeaway in future.

It,s OK albeit quite expensive .

The best Chinese food ever, great service and highly recommended

Always a hit, dim sum was lovely as always, prompt service despite being busy. A Sunday lunch favourite

Great food and service at a great price . Already looking to go again. Parking in local car park

Finally a Good quality and tasty food in Dartford town centre. They also do a very good variety of Dim Sum.
