This place has amazing homemade dimsum plus a great variety of authentic delicious Chinese food. Always busy, absolutely worth a visit

This place was absolutely gorgeous! The foods were on point, and the staffs were all so lovely. I would highly recommend the chilly chicken!!

From the perspective of being Chinese and living in England for 5 years, I am convinced that this is one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever known since I started living in England. Very authentic food - some oriental vegetables delivered by airplane. Tidy and cosy environment. Lovely staffs who were singing happy birthday to me! A decent place to have an oriental feast.

Their menu is extensive with lots of option. I got the stewed beef brisket on rice and prawn toast. The beef brisket was extremely tender and the sauce was flavourful. The prawn toast was nice but it was expensive. I recommend this place to everyone and I will be back! For more photos & videos, follow me on Instagram @oureatinglife_

Searched from Google map then first time try the Chinese restaurant in London, turn out we are so lucky. The food is authentic with great taste, the service team is nice and warm welcoming, the overall environment is bright, clean and cozy. We arrived around 7pm on Friday and the large dinning area were packed so we were invited to eat in the inner separated room, so happy! I will definitely recommend you to have a try the food here!

One of the better dimsum places outside Central Lomdon. Absolutely amazing waiting staff. Good lunchtime crowds.. Decent prices. Try their dry fried horfun with beef. Also the salt fish diced chicken fried rice. .

Like stepping from Sutton High Street into Hong Kong! Good value, authentic Chinese 'fast meal' dishes. The handmade noodles in soup are probably the best thing to go for but the dim sum wasn't too bad at all. The atmosphere really reminded me of Hong Kong, from the Black & White milk teacups to the many Cantonese customers, to the sounds of the dishes on the glass tables. I have been here a few times since it opened and it seems to have improved over time.

Absolutely divine , superior food than all central London chinatown restaurants. Every dish was cooked to perfection, my favourites were prawn cheung fun, beef hofun in black bean sauce and roast duck
