    Great food and excellent value, but wrap up warm as it's all outdoor seating. Try the 18 mixed dumplings (£12) - very filling - or the Beijing Zhajiang Sauce Noodles (£6). You can bring your own wine!

    Preferred their steamed stuff over their fried. Spicy prawn dumplings and veggie steam buns, yum.

    The dumplings certainly made us happy. Be careful as they're a little hot

    The kind of place you should at least visit once, wouldn't go back. There's plenty of good variety in Brixton Village.

    Fried dumplings are good. The boss lady might try to give you something that wasn't ordered *by mistake* and then add it to the bill.

    Noodle soup was bland. Dumplings order was totally forgotten. Given some spring rolls as recompense but unlikely to go back until they can handle all the tables they've put out and raised quality.

    Everything but real dumplings here. Service was slow and asked twice about our order. Not the best choice in Brixton.

    Unhappy dumplings. Once batch were undercooked and the other batch were full of gristle.

    They got our orders wrong and ended up waiting ages for the food to arrive. Dumplings feel apart as soon as you touched them. The duck was dry as a lone nun and basically; everything tasted like crap.

    Not good at all, slow service, stodgy dumplings, everything had an oily gloss to it, even the steam baskets. Mama Lan or Courtesan are better options

    To be honest they should change the name to "Sad Dumplings"

    Stick to the dumplings. They're great, the rest is pretty average.

    Not that great if I'm honest. Had better dim sum and everything tasted either bland or too salty.
