Lovely dumplings and superb Peking Duck. The service is efficient but a little abrupt. Good, reasonably priced wine list. Make sure you book!

Spicy wonton. Sui long bao. Pan fried dumplings. Noodles. . .just magic. The service can be a bit rude at times but worth putting up with.

There were three of us and we each ordered a different type of dumplings, we finished them all and could have stopped there but ordered more. They are just so delicious and really reasonably priced

The dumpling didn't match its reputation. The xlb's skin was too thick, the meat didnt taste good. Other dishes were ok.

Not the cheapest dumplings around, but definitely one of the tastiest! Great menu and nice restaurant interior.

It's a bit expensive, and they are pretty rude... the food is great, but sometimes you feel like they really don't care.

My favourites here are the Xiao Long Bao (obviously), and the chilli dumplings! We always order these 2 dishes and it's always tasted good! A sure sign of consistency! Service can be a bit slow during busy times, but otherwise a pleasant dining experience!
