22 Restaurants Great For A Group Dinner In London - London - The Infatuation

"This Hong Kong cafe in Finsbury Park calls itself an ‘Asian fusion’ restaurant, meaning that there are things like satay sauce and ramen on the menu, as well as homemade dim sum that’s worth carving out an hour for. You’ll probably be cajoled into an extra item or a special creation by Dayu’s maternal owner, like deep-fried mustard prawns. And it will likely be a good decision. Push a few tables together and bring the entire group chat. There’s enough space for everyone, and if you double up on the dim sum there should be enough to go round." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley

Dayu - Review - Finsbury Park - London - The Infatuation

"Finsbury Park, God love it, is a total mess. So when a restaurant as welcoming as Dayu comes along, we can’t help but notice it. This Hong Kong cafe calls itself an ‘Asian fusion’ restaurant, meaning that there are things like satay sauce and ramen on the menu, as well as homemade dim sum that’s worth carving out an hour for. You’ll probably be cajoled into an extra item or an special creation by Dayu’s maternal owner, like deep-fried mustard prawns. More likely than not, it will be a good decision. The spicy sauce the wontons come in is more umami-ish than anything with chilli heat and the har gau could be more delicately wrapped, but both fillings are juicy and well-seasoned. Get a few variations of dumplings and enjoy them to the soothing soundtrack of waiting room music. It’s a world away from the interchange outside. Food Rundown Har Gau The minced prawn filling inside of these har gau is lovely, even if the wrappers are a bit thick and claggy in places. photo credit: Jake Missing Siu Mai Moist, salty, and very plump—these siu mai are an easy decision. Make sure to ask for some chilli oil on the side. photo credit: Jake Missing Wontons In Spicy Sauce There’s plenty to love about these wontons and the filling is perfectly steamed with some nice flecks of ginger going on. The sauce is more like a black bean-ish gravy with a background spice that slowly grows." - Jake Missing

The food was so delicious I forgot to take a picture until we had almost finished. The spring rolls are made fresh every morning and the sweet and sour chicken was the best I’ve had in a long time. The lady serving us was also so lovely.

As this restaurant opened relatively recently, I thought I’d try it out and visited for lunch. I had initially wanted a dim sum lunch but the selection was limited. Of what we ordered, the wonton was good, it tasted freshly made. However the others were less impressive. The xiao long bao was particularly disappointing, they tasted like ones out of a frozen packet. It’s a shame. I was looking forward to seeing a dimsum place in this part of town.

Authentic Hong Kong dim sum and dishes, very delicious. Particularly like their shiu mai and chicken bun (home made!). Singapore style fried vermicelli is also good! Convenient location - close to Finsbury Park Station. Will definitely be back to try other dishes!!!

Really enjoyed discovering this new Chinese restaurant in Finsbury Park! They serve great, authentic dishes at reasonable prices. The sweet and sour pork hit all the right notes, the fried noodles were cooked perfectly, and the chicken dumplings were clearly made with care. The staff made the experience even better - they were so helpful in explaining the menu and making recommendations. You can tell they take pride in their food and service. This spot has definitely earned a permanent place in our neighborhood rotation. Whether you're a Chinese food enthusiast or just looking for a reliably delicious meal, you won't be disappointed. A true Finsbury Park treasure!

Oh my gosh. I wish I live closer to this place so I can be here more frequently. The food is just so good. Their special fried rice is the tastiest. Salt and pepper squid had crunchy exterior and soft on the inside. Chicken in satay sauce is also really soft and juicy. Also shout out to their front of house staff. She’s just so sweet and pleasant.

My girlfriend and I got the Menu Set B and and it was delicious. Especially the crispy duck. The atmosphere was very relaxing and peaceful and the service was fantastic. Highly recommend and will come again.
