Orient London

"12pm - 4:45pm Understanding that you can’t order everything from Orient’s 70-something item dim sum menu can be hard to come to terms with. But regardless of whether you order one dish here (the XO fried turnip cake, FYI) or several (the Orient mixed cheung fun and roast pork puffs are particularly excellent), you’re going to be satisfied. The Chinatown restaurant is quite slick and shiny, so come for lunch with friends or date night in your nice top. While the full dim sum menu isn’t available past 4:45pm, you can still pop in for an eight-piece steamed platter after hours." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"Few things are more painful than going to a Cantonese restaurant and realising, thanks to the cruel limitations of biology, that you can only eat so much of the enormously enticing menu. So, any trip to Orient should be with many bellies and many dishes in mind. The dim sum at this classic Chinatown restaurant is always enticing: fried and steamed, pork and prawn-filled, with more dishes than there are twitchy fingers at the table. The big round tables or banquettes can also fit double-figure groups with ease." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"Tackling Orient’s menu isn’t something that can be done by a single person. The Chinatown spot has a huge variety of dishes to choose from and, quite frankly, trying every one would be an impossible task. But coming here en masse isn’t. It’s a Cantonese restaurant made for big groups—there are banquettes and big round tables with lazy Susans for you, your mates, and your peking duck to get comfortable in. Plus the wait for walk-ins is usually pretty short." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
