"16 of us pre booked for a works party, early evening. We’d booked 8 weeks in advance (we struggled to find a restaurant in Chinatown large enough to accommodate us) and paid a deposit. Firstly, we phoned to say we were going to be an hour later than planned the restaurant was fine with this. Secondly, we moved the tables around and the waiting staff got a bit grumpy (fair enough). Once we explained what we wanted to do, the staff were super helpful and suggested (and moved the tables and chairs) to a more efficient way of achieving the goal. Service was great – really efficient and helpful. Granted, service was not always with a smile, but I think that’s just the way the restaurant worked. We had a bit of an accident and spilled drinks (beer and boiling hot tea) over an innocent member of our company (luckily he mostly dodged the boiling drink). The staff were amazing and cleared this away really efficiently. I had a word with the head waiter afterwards and had a good joke about it – he was great when you spoke to him directly, he’s seen it all before. Food – really tasty. We were not expecting too much, but the roast crispy duck was great (lovely and crispy), the squid was amazing. Everything we had was delicious (set menu for 6 £39 I think). The rice was excellent, so many juicy prawns and meat bits. Even the stir fried veg was great. One of our party moaned it lacked flavour – they were wrong – I would have loved to get some to takeaway (with a meat dish too of course). Conclusion – great service, great food, prices decent. What’s not to like? I will be going back (probably by myself so I can choose what I want all to myself). Wish I’d had the crispy chilli beef, looks good. Thanks Golden Phoenix!"

The dim sum at this restaurant was quite good and tasty, with service that was fine and attentive. The ambiance inside may appear a bit old and run down, but overall it was not too bad. In fact, it was better than many other Chinese restaurants I have been to.

I have visited this restaurant several times and I must say that the service is fantastic. However, I would say that the food was good but I have had better meals here in the past. Despite this, the portion sizes are quite large and can easily be shared among a group of six. Overall, considering the price, it was definitely worth it. View menu

Awful food made worse by the fact it is relatively expensive. Egg fried rice Peking duck was inedible. If they can't do these dishes, then don't bother with anything else. 15% surcharge added, but under UK law it is optional whether you pay a tip or service charge, so cannot be legally enforced, but they refused to take it off. Avoid.

Food is always fresh and prices are reasonable. We ordered 8 dim sum dishes and a plate of stir fried Ho fun noodles. Staff are attentive, friendly and service was efficient food arrived within minutes of each other. Our tea was also refilled without us asking which I give top marks for hospitality! Always a pleasant experience! Place was packed but service was kept to the highest of standards!

My daughter and I had a lovely dim sum lunch on Saturday. Service was polite and friendly and efficient but they didn't rush you as I find in some restaurants on busy days. Food was lovely. We loved the prawn spring rolls, the scallop rolls especially with the flaky outside and the seafood crispy noodles. I think we have found our new go to Dim Sum place. We will be coming back when we visit London again. View menu

We were in search of an authentic Chinese restaurant that served dim sum, and this place was exactly what we were looking for. Despite being very busy, the service was excellent and the dishes came out promptly. The restaurant is quite spacious with three floors, but we were seated on the ground floor near the front door, giving us the cozy atmosphere of a smaller establishment. We plan to try the crispy duck on our next visit, as it looked delicious when the table next to us ordered it. The dim sum was fantastic, and we also enjoyed the fried squid.

The food here is good with reasonable prices however whilst sitting in the restaurant we had to stare at a fish tank filled with fish that were clearly too big for the tank. It was upsetting to see. No pets should be left uncared for. The tank had no greenery, nothing in it at all and most of the fish were clearly depressed. As a vet and animal carer it's sad to see such animal cruelty. I understand it's a restaurant and not an animal sanctuary but it still really bothered me that no one considered how wrong it is. Eating fish is one thing but torturing them is another. Fix your tank ! I won't be going back

"The decor of the restaurant is really lovely. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. We placed our orders quite briskly. We received complimentary bread and olives, which was a nice touch. Our Bruchetta starter arrived a whole hour after we arrived, which was disappointing and far too long to wait for a cold and easy starter. The menu did not specify that the prawns on one of the bruschettas were raw! The waiter said service was slow because they were busy with Uber Eats and Deliveroo. Clearly not prioritising paying customers, who pay a 12.5% service charge, unlike online customers. Eventually, our main courses arrived. My pasta was only just cooked, so close to being undercooked and hard. They ran out of ricotta and replaced it with the tiniest amount of cheese so I asked for some more. Since ricotta was supposed to be the main ingredient of the dish. The tuna steak was lovely, and the veal could have done with a thinner breadcrumb batter. The sides, chips and zucchini, were £4.50 and very small portions for such a cheap side. So that was slightly disappointing. Overall, the pinot grigio white wine was very drinkable, and they brought tap water when we asked for it. And the whole staff were very polite. It was a shame the service was so slow, and the food could have been better for the price that it was. We also felt it was overpriced for the location it was, zone 2 London and not in the West End."
