We serve authentic Cantonese dishes made fresh every day, from handcrafted dim sum and house-made dumplings to our famous roast duck and regional Guilin specialties.

What We Serve
Our menu draws from Cantonese cooking traditions with a strong focus on freshness and quality. We roast our duck in-house every single day using methods passed down through generations. You can order it as a portion, half or whole, and we also serve a two-course Peking Crispy Duck with steamed pancakes followed by a nourishing broth.
Beyond our roast meats, we offer a wide selection of dishes that you would struggle to find elsewhere in the South Kensington area:
- Guilin Rice Noodles served in a rich broth with your choice of braised beef, braised chicken, pork and beef or vegetables. We are the only restaurant in London serving this authentic Guilin specialty.
- All-day dim sum including crystal shrimp dumplings, Shanghai soup dumplings, cheung fan, chicken feet in black bean sauce and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf.
- Claypot dishes such as beef brisket, braised pork belly, ginger chicken and seafood tofu.
- Soup noodles including Vietnamese beef pho, seafood laksa and wonton noodle soup.
We also have a dedicated vegetarian section, a daily breakfast menu served from 8am and a selection of traditional Chinese desserts like stewed pear with snow fungus and glutinous rice balls in sweet rice wine.
