Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A scholarly yet playful two-Michelin-starred destination where the lunchtime dim sum offers a dazzling, anthropologically driven tour of China, while the evening shifts to a serious marathon tasting menu.

Ordering Strategy

The consensus is to visit for the à la carte Dim Sum lunch to experience the kitchen's creativity without the commitment of the evening tasting menu. Alternatively, book the 'Forbidden City' bar downstairs for a more casual experience.

What to order

Safe first

Shanghai Steamed Dumplings

Described as technical marvels that 'hold together perfectly' where others tear, delivering a broth 'infused with handfuls of fresh ginger.'

Hungry

A. Wong Special Fried Rice

A massive, comforting bowl with crispy bits baked into the bottom, highly recommended for those visiting the downstairs bar.

Wildcard

Duck Egg Custard Bun

Jay Rayner calls this 'the single best dessert available right now in London,' describing it as a wonder of patisserie that combines 'the luscious with both precision and finesse.'

Wildcard

Chengdu Street Tofu

A 'hot set, savoury custard' dressed with soy chilli, peanuts, and preserved vegetables that showcases the restaurant's regional depth.

What to skip

Skip
Scallop puff three ways— Critics have found it disappointing compared to other dim sum, noting it is difficult to discern the three different preparations or the taste of the scallop itself amidst the fried textures.

Good to know

The restaurant holds two Michelin stars. Booking is essential weeks in advance, though the downstairs bar sometimes has easier availability. The entrance can be unassuming.
