"Chinese dim sum near Little Venice in England? Sign me up this is what London is all about! Having grown up in San Francisco where you can find dim sum places throughout the city, I find myself craving a little part of home every now and then in my adopted home of Germany. Let's just say that discovering Pearl Liang during my vacation to London has been the most authentic experience so far. Admittedly, the restaurant is a bit hard to get to, though it should be convenient if you want to plan a stroll by the canals on a nice day or work in the area. I immediately noticed the tastefully posh interior as soon as I walked in. (Thankfully, it wasn't indicative of the prices! I visited Pearl Liang twice: once for a weekend lunch and once for a weekday dim sum lunch. I'd recommend coming on a weekday not only is service quicker, but you can also order the 10 item dim sum platter for £12.80, which offers classics ranging from har gow to shu mai as well as a grapefruit and mango tapioca dessert. The dim sum was just as delicious as anything I could have ordered back home in San Francisco, and, well, pretty much the same price as well. Don't skip the noodles either! We also had the braised e fu noodles with seafood. Offering a slightly spicy kick, it was full of flavor and fish to boot."

"Nestled next to the canal on one of Maida Vale’s prettiest roads sits The Summerhouse, a delightful restaurant with a strong nautical theme in both style and menu, which works perfectly harmoniously due to the immediate the presence of the canal, with barges lazily drifting along past the windows. Along with the view and the complimentary spritz, our meal got off to a great start. We shared the crispy seafood platter which consisted of fish goujons, deep fried squid and deep fried prawns. We also got a chicken, bacon and blue cheese salad and some chunky chips. The meal was plentiful and nicely executed, arriving in good time without any fuss. And it tasted pretty good too. The only...read more"

"The meal was delicious, the staff was attentive, and they refilled our teapots with water several times without us having to ask. The restaurant had bamboo sushi mats as partitions, giving us the feel of our own private space. I booked in advance over the phone for my birthday, which was a quick process. They even offered to keep my cake in their fridge. The only small issue was that their card machine was broken at the end, so they only accepted cash. However, they provided an option to pay via bank transfer with a £2 fee starting tomorrow."

"This restaurant has now changed its name to Blue Bamboo. We had a great dinner here, the food was amazing as usual much nicer than your average Chinese restaurant! Try the dim sum basket and the sweet and sour King Prawns FANTASTIC! Note also, you get 25% off dinner (excluding Dim Sum), which is a nice bonus, although I don't know why they don't just make the menu 25% cheaper. I would not recommend desert here as it is overpriced around £8.50. Overall a great place!!"

"First seated right at the back in the dark, despite having booked ahead. Then when a table became free we asked to move forward a bit. Waiters were all very grumpy and quite hard to flag down Range of menus (dim sum, picture menu, full menu) at first confusing and just one of each between the four of us. But food was good BBQ pork, Indonesian prawns with fried patties, duck in plum sauce, soft shell crab, prawn and seaweed croquettes, rainbow dumplings, chilli tofu, special rice, mushroom dumplings, veggie spring rolls At £229 for 4 (3 bottles of wine) rather pricey. Nearby table was very noisy at first. No real atmosphere to the place."

"A very disappointing visit. I had been here with my wife about 6 months ago and the food was very good and I therefore booked for my wife’s 60th lunch before going to the theatre. It is my also son’s birthday on the same day, so a double celebration. It started fairly well. although service wasn’t very attentive. When we did get to order the food that came out was very good but we only received half our dishes. After waiting about 20 minutes, a waitress asked if we would like to order more food and we let her know we were still waiting on food already ordered. About 20 minutes later we received a few more dishes but still never received the rest, despite asking a further two times. Food quality has been good both times but the service is chaotic (even the time before when we had all our dishes). A real shame as this could be really good if the Front of House staff were better trained"

"Our order was taken when we were ready,the food was nice and tasty,good portion size.However,we had a bit of a wait(possibly because they cook fresh)other people arriving after us recieved their food before us.Our starters were served at different times which was a bit annoying,we would have rather eaten at the same time.During our meal we asked for prawn crackers,which were served when our meal was almost finished Overall the meal was enjoyable"

"Friday evening is a hazardous night for a long overdue catch up dinner with a friend. But this place does the trick nicely. Spacious, stylish and reasonable value despite the high ceilings etc. Super convenient for Victoria Station too. The dim sum were nicely executed with a house made chilli dressing and the mains were tasty and unfussy. We had pretty much the cheapest wine on the menu at 28 quid and it was good. I'll be going back in future."

"I wish that I could give it a 0; unbelievable how my husband and I were treated yesterday. We went to the restaurant for dinner. We drove from Kent, and I wanted to introduce him to your establishment which was empty. The waiter printed the page with the qr code and placed it on the table. My husband asked if we could have a regular menu, and he replied no. He said that the standard menu is a past thing and will no longer be available for environmental reasons of saving paper. We believe this a double standard as paper was used to print the code, which is then presumably disposed of, as opposed to a (laminated? sheet that only needs be changed with the menu. My husband joked that I had suggested leaving because of the reluctance to have a proper menu and the waiter asked us to do so. 2 specific aspects I would like to point out, 1 my husband has a degree in environment pollution and is quite obsessive about general recycling and waste reduction. He was also lost for words for about an hour about how we were treated. What would have been the response to someone who doesn’t carry a mobile device, yes they do exist and they are not the only sector of the population you are currently alienating."
