About
A Cantonese restaurant specialising in dim sum and yum cha, this spot serves traditional dishes such as har gow, cheung fun, turnip cake, and roasted meats. The menu includes a variety of options, from daily soups to salt and pepper squid, alongside brown rice and durian-based items. Known for its extensive dim sum selection, it draws inspiration from Cantonese cuisine. The portions are generous, and the experience leans into the communal tradition of sharing dishes. Regular deals are available from time to time, adding to its appeal.
Customer Reviews
Delicious, great service, and decently priced! My partner and I visited after doing some shopping in town. We didn't have a booking but it wasn't too busy (at 12:30pm on a Saturday) so it only took 5-10 mins for a table. The staff are very friendly and attentive, we were served right away and we ordered dim sum including char siu pastry, turnip cake, salted fish & meat pie on rice, steamed tripe, cheung fun, mini Shanghai dumplings and pork and vegetable bao. It was more than enough food for 2 of us and thankfully our server stopped us from ordering more! The food came out relatively quickly, and each dim sum was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed every single dish, and even though we were very full by the end, we wish we could have tried more. Everything was well cooked and full of flavour. Overall, we spent around an hour at Home Chinese and it cost £54 for the both of us (including tea) which is actually very reasonable for dim sum. The restaurant itself is very sleek and modern inside but with a comfortable atmosphere. We didn't feel rushed or ignored like how you might feel in some of the other Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. We'd love to come back and try dishes from the main menu too, the roast meats look good.
The food was average overall, and the value for money didn’t feel particularly strong. The har gow and spicy chicken was fine. However, the daily soup tasted quite heavy on MSG, which left us feeling thirsty afterwards. 🤧 The sweet and sour fish head was on the salty side. And the squid and prawn cake with Chinese kale felt expensive for the portion. The xiao long bao were a bit dry. As this place was recommended by friends, I came in with higher expectations and felt slightly disappointed this time. 😕 It may simply come down to personal taste.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience with family tonight. The staff were super friendly, the restaurant has a lovely design, and the atmosphere was light. We ate a lot of dishes and I would not hesitate to recommend any of them: 🔸 Har Gau (Prawn Dumplings) 🔹 Kung Po King Prawn 🔸 Sweet & Sour Chicken 🔹 Szechuan King Prawn 🔸 Roast Duck (Cantonese Style) This is a new favourite spot of ours and we will be returning!
