I'm gonna go to London this weekend and I'm gonna be visiting Soho's chinatown. Where would you guys suggest for some good dim sum?

Mr Wu, finest Chinese in the city.

>>7711114
Go to any of them, because all of the restaurants in Chinatown are overpriced trash for tourists. If you want decent dim sum I'd keep well away from there.

Ho Lee Fucks for tourist.

But the better restaurants are on Lisle street, parallel to the Main Street. Go to one full of Chinese people. Don't expect good service, but do expect good food.

They're really not. Chinatown is one of the cheapest places to get reliably adequate food in central London as long as you steer clear of the all-you-can-eat buffets.

If you're round Soho's chinatown you're better off going to the Preto on Shaftesbury Avenue though.

Wong Kei has always been my favourite restaurant in the area.

Speaking as a cantonese guy, I say avoid eating in Chinatown for the most part.

Try Pearl Liang in Paddington or Courtesan in Brixton. If you don't mind spending a bit more, Yauatcha, even though it's very hyped up, makes delicious dim sum.

Leongs legends for long bao. Opposite the dutch pub, de hems. And for proper dim sum, i think its called new world...they do an old school trolley service. Its 4/5.
>>
>>7711358
Went once. Food was average as fuck.
>>
>>7711742
I think both Leong Legends and New World aren't as good as they used to be. Somehow Leong Legends' xiao long bao now have a weird taste to their pork and the trolley service at New World now serves cold food.

If I had to recommend a restaurant, I'd say Joy King Lau, but it's not too helpful as I've never actually had their dim sum. Just as a side note, it's actually the only Chinese restaurant where I've seen a separate Chinese-only menu (I always thought it was just a rumour).

I live in London but I never go to Chinatown. It's really small and kinda shitty tbhfam. There's this really good ramen/soup place near there through, called Bone Daddies. The tonkusu (spelled wrong) broth soup is really good and the chicken wings
