Xi Home Dumplings in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

If you’re looking for plush surrounding and silver service, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for fabulous hand made dumplings and value for money - this is the place! Yummy!

I had the Pork Soup Dumpling and the soup was very tasty. I also had the Dan Dan Noodles which were slightly spicy with some good noodles and a good mix of flavours. I tried 3 types of dumplings and all were good but the Spicy Pork was my favourite.

We discovered this place last night. We had looked at the reviews beforehand and being chefs we decided to try it. So here goes. The dumplings are excellent and a good portion of 10. You can watch the kitchen make them by hand. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very small and even have benches just outside the unisex toilet, the couple sitting there were not pleased with having to eat just outside a toilet. The toilets themselves have signs stating not to flush toilet paper down the toilet??? Where else are you going to put it? You do feel rather claustrophobic and not ideal place for a couples private conversation. Back to the food. The dumplings are excellent as we have already said but the homemade noodles are poor. They are overcooked and stodgy. The broth was quite tasteless and the Dan Dan Noodles not spicy at all. The wasabi prawns were rubbery and we did expect proper wasabi which was not the case. We asked for the bill and were told to pay downstairs. The man just took the payment almost ignoring us, not even bothering to ask if we enjoyed our meal. He was arrogant and sarcastic. So really poor customer service which we have found in most SOHO restaurants. They couldn't care less if your there.

Superb! I live in West Sussex where we are poorly served for food like this. My prawn wonton was all I ever want from a soup. Will be back - as soon as I can!

Ordered 7 different dumplings, it's best 👌 as dumpling maker myself, I gave 10 out of 10 especially on busy chinese new year day! Nowhere in central London one can enjoy steamy hot freshly cooked dumplings!

Amazing food all the way through. Delish dumplings so good that we had some more dumplings for dessert. Great noodle soup as well. Service? Do not go there for attentive service, but so worth it for the food.

Really good spot for lunch, food was excellent, service was good and the cost was very reasonable, this spot is a hidden gem. You can always tell the quality of Asian food in Britain based off the clientele and this is certainly a good spot, would recommend

Tasty dumplings, very good and quick service. Tiny place, so don't go expecting a fancy meal. Dumplings come quick, are fresh and hot. The large ones filled with soup are especially good. Very flavourful. The batter/dough on the prawn dumplings (10 in a plate) was quite thick, and unlike what I have had in other HK/Taiwanese restaurants in East Asia. I'd visit again.

These dumplings are made to order— the filling sizzling hot and soft dough cooked and run to your table. It’s a tiny restaurant, but hot and delicious—perfect for a quick meal before the theater.

I visited this wonderful restaurant for dinner and it was amazing! The dumplings were incredibly delicious, the portion sizes were generous and my boyfriend even received a complimentary moon cake because it was his birthday - the perfect end to a lovely dining experience. I can’t wait to visit here again!

Delicious Asian cuisine, prices are reasonable and portions are large! I consider this place a hidden gem. I wanted Asian food (a break from all the pub food) but I didn't want to break the bank dealing with a CAD exchange $. I was able to get a reservation the day of and walk over from Trafalgar Square. This place, like many Asian eateries, is high on food, but not white glove service. The staff was cordial, but overworked. One person was working the entire upstairs by herself where all the tables were having to trek up and down the stairs with trays of food. Not a fancy place, but definitely recommend to those who want Asian eats that won't break the bank. I would say cuisine is a fusion of a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai. Delish!

I had been there twice within a week and I am not a tourist. I live in London. Service, food and ambience is top notch for me. A lot of restaurants in London can feel hemmed in and echoey. But not Xi. Food - there are many varieties of dumplings to choose for.and they are.freshly made. The noodles were freshly made too and it's al dente. So far I have tried Lobster dumplings, cuttlefish dumpling, zhajiang noodles, deep fried taro, smashed cucumbers salad, cold okra, garlic knuckles, pork soup bun, pan fried dumplings, and last but not least Xi Home tofu. I will still have many visits to make to try their other dishes and some of the ones that I like (tofu! Which I also took away on the first visit for my family to try). So really thumbs up!) . The portion of food is good. I just wish drinks are slightly larger.

On impulse I booked a table with this restaurant and was happy to discover this cute little shop off the beaten path in central. The place was clean, bright and steeped in culture. Prices were affordable and the food was incredible. And not just the kind of good food you hear about and try once only to discover that it’s ‘ok’, I actually mean that it was beautiful. I would highly recommend.

Amazing food, good service, and everything came out in a timely manner. It can be a bit cramped, so, go with good company! 100% recommend the sweet and sour pork!

I went to this unassuming little restaurant today with a friend. It was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals of any kind I have had in a very long time and probably the best Chinese food too. Highly recommended.

Do not go to this restuarant if you want 2 meals as ordered. One meal only appeared and was fully eaten and no second meal came so we left and then we then went to another nearby and better restuarant to complete our dinner. This was a very strange experience with no valid explanation. Do NOT go to this restaurant .

I have a nut allergy and the online booking system asked me to add all my allergy information before booking (I thought this a good sign at the time). When we arrived and were seated, there was no mention of the allergy and so I told the waiter before ordering. They were immediately visibly uncomfortable and told me that everything on the menu was cooked in peanut oil and therefore I couldn't eat anything. As a result, we had to leave after travelling into London specifically to eat there. Surely that's something you would add to your website, and at the very least mention during the booking process, particularly if someone lists an allergy to peanuts? I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Crowded, noisy, a hole in the wall with OUTSTANDING food. Serves Northern Chinese food which a woman eating there said was hard to get in London. The servers worked soooo hard and got the food out in a timely manner even though much had to...

Dumplings with pork and chives were great. Lobster dumpling were boring. Noodles were good byitself, but thought the sauce had too much vinegar. Good service though!

Amzing place ! Great flavours ! Recommend anytime ! If I were from London that would definitively be my special Asian gateaway !

Booked this place just by Googling for dumplings near to the Adelphi theatre. Food quality is amazing and portions very large. You could tell by the customer profile that the food is authentic. We had two types of dumplings, a noodle dish and the sweet...

Absolutely amazing food.. Plates went back fully empty.. Ate soo much I could barely move after.. Excellent service and amazing atmosphere as well Strongly recommend

The food was disgusting and the service was rude and atrocious! They should be reviewed by the council for food hygiene. It has put us off from Chinese food and possibly from eating out for a while!

Outstanding! What a wonderful surprise. Picked this restaurant on a whim and so glad we did. Dumplings were freshly made and delicious, we had the spicy pork. I had the DanDan noodles, fantastic flavor, not too spicy. My husband had the sweet and sour pork....

The dumplings were pretty good, but from the start the service level was unacceptably lacking: - Didn't bother bringing glasses to our sparking water bottle - Beer was lukewarm, had to complain before they replaced it - Forgot one of our ordered items and the...

We loved this restaurant: from the food to the service. Portions are generous and the quality is excellent! We've been served by a young lady, she always made sure that we were ok! We will definitely come back.

Всё, что мы любим: пельмени и роллы. Пельмени отлично готовят. Мы с другом заказали из ягнёнка и из мяса. Вкусное...

A small and very efficient place with delicious authentic Chinese food (homemade dumplings and buns). The staff speak excellent English and are very friendly and polite. I will definitely go back again.

We pass by over 2 months ago and notice this place, but we were coming from a restaurant next to them and were very full, so we did not stay, second time we were coming from other restaurant as well and just passing by but...

It's really difficult to get proper good Chinese food in the UK. Being from Los Angeles, I'm really spoiled and thus very very picky. I essentially don't eat out for Chinese anymore, as places have great reviews but then are absolutely terrible - bland, oily,...

A small restaurant that has friendly staff and good service. Seating to mainly upstairs whilst downstairs you can see the chefs hand making dumplings. You eat first and pay downstairs when you finish your meal. They have a large variety of dumpling fillings and I...

Unfortunately we didn't sample the food, as we did not get served. I chose the place because of the good reviews. I even booked a table ahead, to avoid disappointment on the day. We were shown to our table and had decided what we wanted...

A real gem, great food and great service. Looking forward to my next visit. All the food we tried was great, fresh and tasty.

The dumplings are ok, the Taiwan beer was not good. The spiced chicken was weird as had bone in it, not too good. There was no need to order more than dumplings as it’s a big portion. The service was friendly and the bill tiny...

This is a pretty small restaurant very close to Trafalgar Square. Visited at lunchtime today & was made to see so welcome by Alan who works there. He had great advice in which dumplings to choose plus he was attentive & hard working. Dumplings themselves...

First of all, the dumplings tasted amazing. Really fresh and succulent with a gorgeous texture. My experience was, however, let down by several factors. There was a significant delay to my noodle dish, which the waiter apologised for - apparently some mixup in the kitchen....

Juicy dumplings and so,so flavourful. Dumplings are steamed or boiled, so super healthy with a home cooked feel. We tried the lobster dumplings which was amazing. The stewed ribs were delicious and tender. The soup in the Xiao Long Bao dumpling was ok, but when...

Great dumplings, friendly staff and authentic Chinese experience (aside from the price!) cool decor too

Great dumpling in the heart of London - was brought here by a Chinese friend to celebrate Chinese New Year. Do not expect luxury - but the food is very good and one of the best dumplings that I have ever had in London. Full...

New place which opened quite recently. We had wonton soup and noodles which were quite good and heartwarming, as well as a pork soup dumpling and a plate of prawn dumplings. All were tasty although not cheap at all - but they are handmade and...
