Dim Sum Library

The restaurant was so good, I can’t even explain. Service was impeccable. Staff were so attentive and friendly, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Food was delirious and quick to arrive. Totally recommend the crushed cucumber, the spicy chicken and fried cod and obviously the dim sum. Non- alcoholic cocktails were just about perfect, not too sweet which I love. I would totally come again to this concept.

The quality of the food does not justify the high prices at all. The only reason to come here is for the environment, not the food. I’ve eaten dim sum in many countries and across London, and this is honestly one of the worst experiences so far. If this is truly “handmade” dim sum, then some machine-made ones are actually better. The outer skin of the xiao long bao, har gow, and even the cheong fun was extremely thick, showing no skill in skin pulling, which is basic for a handmade dim sum restaurant. The buns were not soft enough, and the siu mai texture was rough. Even the most classic dim sum items like siu mai and har gow failed to meet a basic standard. After ordering a few dim sum dishes, we decided not to order any mains because none of us wanted to continue tasting the food. To make things worse, there was a big fly inside the restaurant, which seriously raises hygiene concerns. Last but not least, the pre make octopus salad dosent taste fresh at all. The tea was also disappointing — it didn’t taste like a proper flower tea at all. Overall, it’s not worth the money. It feels like the place relies heavily on marketing and paid influencers rather than food quality.

I had a wonderful experience at Dim Sum Library. All the staff were extremely polite, welcoming, and always smiling, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and beautifully presented. My friend and I had such a lovely time together and truly enjoyed the moment. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious food and I thought the service was really attentive and personal. It’s a beautiful vast space and they’ve done a really good job of making it as excellent as their restaurant in Hong Kong. I enjoyed all their dim sum, the beef puff and their cocktails were incredibly tasty too. I thought the service was impeccable, especially from Katie. She was friendly and very proactive. Would definitely recommend going.

Absolutely loved our visit! The food was delicious across the board, with some real standouts. The egg tarts are a must-try — freshly made in-house and you can really taste the outstanding buttery pastry, which is not easy to make at all even back in HK. The vibe is fantastic: modern, stylish, and relaxed, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. I was also really impressed by the Pu-er cocktail — super creative and beautifully balanced, with the tea notes enhancing the whisky rather than overpowering it. The foie gras fried rice was another highlight: incredibly flavourful yet not oily at all, with the foie gras perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, it’s very reasonably priced for authentic yet innovative dim sum in central London. Highly recommended — will definitely be back! 🥢✨

Lovely very tasty food. The dim sum with soup inside was especially delicious 😋 The tables are a little small for the stuff that needs to be piled on them.

High End Dim Sum There are quite a few new dim sum restaurants appearing recently in London. But always come back for this one. Because of the egg tarts that are freshly coming out from the oven. Diet starts tomorrow. Always regretted that didn't order another plate. Other dim sum were also made in perfection. 100% made from stretch. Small portion but high quality. GMO wheat free. The environment is clean and cosy. The seats are not too close to each others. Clean toilets. Quite a surprise that it's not a Michelin star restaurant. Probably it won't take long to become one. Give me a call when you finish your cold and industrial pastries. As I would rather sitting at Dim Sum Library for more hot and fresh handmade dim sum, and more egg tarts.

As a foreigner visiting London for the first time. We were concerned that it would be difficult to find a great dim sum place but it didn’t take long. After trying their dim sum lunch yesterday. We just had to go back and try the dinner menu selections and it did not disappoint us at all. Once again the food and service were impeccable. We had a great dining experience at Dim Sum Library especially with one of their team members, Heidi’s recommendation. I would highly recommend this awesome place if you happen to be in London. Don’t just take my words for it. Go try it out and you won’t regret it.
