A lot of space - three floors of tables. The food was really good, service was exceptional and fast, and bill was extremely reasonable. The Shanghai soup dumplings are better than a lot of the other restaurants’ around Chinatown with very thin skin and authentic taste. I’ve been looking for a go to dim sum spot. Definitely will be returning.
I am not sure but I think any chinesse restaurant in Chinatown is very similar in quality, prices and customer service. we tried noodles, boiled rice, chicken sweet and sour and duck. It was good not great, it was just the experience for eating here.
Visiting from Vancouver, Canada ???????? and decided to have dinner here as most other places were packed or had long line ups. The bbq pork and roast pork was yummy. The beef brisket noodles was good too. Chili oil is a must!! Service was a bit slow but they were pretty busy. Prices were decent, but expensive for us, Canadians. Overall, it was enjoyable with good food and decent service.
Charsiu bao! Chinese pork buns steamed if you're not familiar, are one of my dim sum faves. Got some takeaway and had a little picnic. This really hit the spot. The staff were great and gave me a chair to sit and wait outside while they were being heated up. The baos were pretty good and I've come here before. I'd come again and I think it's always one of the few in Chinatown that I've been happy with.
Very nice restaurant, lots of Chinese eating here which is normally a sign of a good restaurant. We ordered dim sum +set meal for 2,the food was all very tasty but way to much to eat..Good experience and good atmosphere inside.
Such a friendly place to eat, we chose to sit outside as we had our dog with us and they were happy to accommodate her including supplying water for her. They were very helpful explaining the menu and the fact that outside guests were required to pay once they had ordered. The best part was the portion and quality of the food that arrived, amazing. We will definitely be good back . Would recommend the meat and seafood noodle soup
LOOKING FOR BEST SOUP DUMPLINGS---YOU FOUND THEM HERE!!!!!Every time we come to London we try to make it to Chinatown and the Lotus Garden to enjoy their amazing Dim Sum and especially our favorite Shanghai style pork dumplings (soup dumplings) as they are SO SO GOOD. If you are lucky and can make it here between 12pm-4pm you will have a jaw dropping assortment of 60 different dum sum to choose from--we were a bit too late this time around but had a grand time sitting on the 1st floor overlooking chinatown and people watching while enjoying an assortment of dim sum including our favorite soup dumplings along with the bbq pork and prawn and chives. Should be your GO TO place when in London. Special Shout out to TUE our server who was AMAZING!!!!!
