Food is just delicious and the 48 pounds menu was really balanced throughout the courses. Only think I don't advice to get is the sticky rice. Amazing the puffs and also the 3 mushrooms dish (name forgotten ).here I got also the best coffee in London. Service is really professional. The only cons are the prices a little on the high side and the music really to high, the volume and noise destroyed the atmosphere
Such a wonderful dinner with family outing this good Friday. Really enjoyed a lot . Venison puff and aromatic duck were delicious recommended by waiting staff Mamun . He was very friendly and polite. Hope to go another weekend again.
It's a busy restaurant, space is very limited, food is ok, not ideal place to dine with small children especially if you have buggy or need a high chair.
Very nice Asian restaurant. Special and unique dishes. Fantastic desserts. Very high price, indeed more
Surprisingly uninspiring, with beyond ordinary service. Lobster dumplings - nice but bland; soup dumplings - only one option available and only seafood, I had better in ChinaTown. Dough too thick, stuffing could have been anything. Pandan leaf and oatmeal squid sounded appetizing, but wasn't. No taste of pandan to speak of, I was left with the feeling that someone accidentally spilt half of box of cereal into it. It would be like eating cardboard if it wasn't for overabundance of frying oil in the squid, and my use of chilli sauce on the side. Even the dipping sauces were bland, so below par. It is the service, Michelin star expectations or not, that truly shocked. Unfriendly, formal - front desk matron, more Spanish inquisition (with suitable accent and expression) than welcome party. Waiter, so formal "madam" no smile style. Took at least 15min to get any attention to even place a drink order, don't know if it is because I chose to sit in the bar area tables, as main room is very boring and unatmospheric, it shouldn't matter. From the time the food, quite literally, gets dumped in front of you, nobody shows any interest in the clients at all, I made a point to observe the whole bar section. Worse still, for some reason squid came before soup dumplings, they came 2min later, so something was going to go cold before one gets to anything. One got a feeling it is all about churning out cover after cover, focus on profit. Nobody came by the table at all till the food was finished, nobody asked if I would want any wine with the food, or more food, they just asked "is that finished?", I said yes, pointing to the glaringly empty plates, no offer of more food or drink - the guy just started grabbing sauces and plates off the table! I was bit shocked and by then ready to get out of there! I am surprised, for owners' sake, at the complete absence of any effort to upsell anything, not even second cocktail. I would have gladly been persuaded. No thank you or smile upon leaving either, in case you are wondering - though there were 3 ladies in bright blue dresses and the aforementioned matron standing at the exit. At least one of them was kind enough to ask for my coat tag, no smile and formal "here is your coat madam" was all I got. Honestly, the service at 2 star Michelin Helene Darozze last night was less formal and not at all snooty, that this lot made me laugh. Really surprised (negatively) by the whole experience.
Stoll trendy after all these years, expensive and very nice!
Great food and decent prices. Lovely interiors and nice staff. Recommend!
Great place for group with prefix menus that make it extremely simple to order and enjoy each other
One of the best asian fusion restaurants in london . They got great dumblinga and amazing deserts. The brownie is a must have at the end.
Outstanding food - highly recommend the hot and sour mushroom soup, the truffle edamame dumplings, the chili prawns, the scallop dumplings - everything is amazing!!
I tried it after a recommendation and can't wait to go back.
The service was simply rude. Even though it was just our waiter and not the general staff, that does not make the experience much better. In fact, the waiter was so slow that I ended up missing my train.
The food was mediocre. It s hard to find good dim sum in GB but it certainly was not much better than some other places I have been to.
The dessert was the best thing about the entire stay at this restaurant - well-presented and delicious.
It s a shame that the service was miserable as I liked the general atmosphere of the place.
I don't understand how this place could have ever gotten a Michelin star. Having been to several starred restaurants across Europe, this simply wasn't up to that standard. Sitting down to a sticky, dirty plate, being served by slow, chaotic waiters wearing dirty aprons. Not to mention how crammed it was and how the staff treated customers.
Generally the food was decent with some items (cheung fun and macarons) being really nice, if not the best out there, while some would fall below an average china town restaurant. Also would have appreciated if at times my food wasn't being thrown on the table and if it didn't take 15minutes for the waiter to bring the bill and another 15 to bring the card machine.
Excellent high end dim sum. You certainly pay for it, but both the dumplings and the service are great. Definitely worth more than one visit.
The food is excellent here. Really fantastic. It would've been nice to have been offered a bit more help with the menu and the dishes, but otherwise it was great.
My favourite restaurent in London hand's down. Three tips:
1) Book in advance and request a table downstairs where you can see the large rectangular, very blue, fish tank. The entire wall is lit up with candles (reminiscent of Harry Potter), and sets a romantic atmosphere).
2) Try the duck salad - this is my favourite with bits of seeds and grapefruit that make the taste very unique and satisfying.
3) Get a dessert!!! If you go to the main floor, they have some on display and I highly recommend getting 1 (or 2 to share)/
Awful. Overpriced and average food. Service was next level poor. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to pay big bucks for my food, but not when it's like this!
Spot on dim sum, with some more unusual bits and pieces - plus delicious cakes. Alan Yau's 'tea shop' offers delectable cheung fun, wispy noodles and congee that's full of flavour and depth. Don't forget to have one of the beautiful cakes for dessert.
Ordered dumplings... there was only 3 tiny ones. But overall nice place.
Just amazing! The food was delicious and the service was brilliant.
Great Chinese restaurant tucked on the edge of Soho away from the bustling touristy crowds. Great food, a classic from Alan yau. The dim sum tastes beautiful, definitely get the famous venison puffs and the prawn and crispy edge Cheung fun
