Unfortunately this restaurant was a little bit of a let down. Very very below average. The shallot pancake was all pastry, with 3 or 4 pieces of shallots so awful.

Couple that with the meals being of generous size and you certainly have found good value for money. The food is rather nice. However the seating is a bit of an issue. It does have a cramped feel. The drink choices certainly aren't anything to right home about as well. Overall though if you want to take some friends for a great chat while sharing an array of dumpling flavors this place is suited. The value for money is what makes this place worth it. I wouldn't say this place jumps out. Which is a shame.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

It is…read morejust across the street from the back door of the Sheraton Grand at Hyde Park...for very convenient for travelers. They do Dim Sum 9:00a - 3p most days. Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

Mention Islington or "Izzo" for short, and you were met with a look and a sheesh sound. "It's not a part of town you want to be." Fast-forward a few years and Islington is turning herself around. There's Suspension Coffee that started it all and the newest mark on the map, Madame Mo's. I stopped in for lunch on a Thursday to be greeted by one other customer. No sweat, that's just more dumplings for me. Madame Mo's is a curious combination of grocer (complete with a few shelves of Japanese specialty items), tea and dumpling restaurant. The setup isn't fancy but neither is Islington so it works. Entrees, despite being named exotic, are fairly standard. Miso Soup, Wasabi Green Peas and edamame beans aren't too unfamiliar for a dumpling restaurant. Your dumpling options are split into Tibetan and Japanese. It's unclear if Madame Mo is Japanese, Tibetan or Chinese. I opt for a mix of 8 which let's me try two each of the Tibetan Lamb, vegetable dumplings and the Japanese pork, and vegetable dumplings. Being one of only two customers, the service is attentive and my "Curly Clouds" green tea is delivered and quickly followed by the dumplings. They're freshly steamed and the hint of ginger in the Japanese vegetable dumpling is quite the zing, but the one I'd suggest anyone tries here is the Tibetan vegetable. It's plump and moist in your mouth. The waitress does a great job to try and convince me to order another round of dumplings but I'm tapping out. There's not even room for some of their green tea ice cream. Pro Tip: Tibetan vegetable dumpling. All of the Tibetan vegetable dumpling.

The one star is really for the food. This place has a good selection of teas and a nice ambience…read more However, the food I ordered was atrocious. The dumplings were really doughy with a far too thick skin that was not properly cooked - anyone who appreciates a good dumpling would be advised to avoid them. To top it off, the meat bun I ordered was a packet frozen one! It really feels like they are just trying to jump on the dumpling train and cash in on the trend. When I mentioned these problems with the food, they chose to argue instead if take notice of the feedback. Whilst admitting to the frozen steam bun, their counter to the poor dumplings was that they had been made fresh that morning. As if that should make it alright. It makes no difference when they are made if they are made poorly in the first place. That said, if you want a cozy space in the area for a nice cup of tea, then Mo's is more than adequate with some curios to view on the way out. But I have never been back for a bite to eat.

They're not amazing but I didn't mind for the price. Pork buns were apparently pretty average, had onions no ginger, and too much soy sauce. They were also cold but it was near closing so the shop had run out of a lot of choices and also why they were cold. My vegetarian buns were still warm though! And they were in a cute leaf shape. Tasted good and had a variety of veggies in there. But the one to get here is definitely the pumpkin and tofu bun. These were very nice and slightly sweet. I quite enjoyed the black sesame bun also, however as with all the buns (and probably a major reason as to why they're so cheap) the filling was very minimal and most of it was the bun itself. Also there is no seating so you can sit at one of the tables outside the centre, or just take it home to eat.
