It was extremely, extremely slow between rounds of food and there were quite a few stumbles in the beginning. We opted for the bottomless drink and food and found that we had to be quite aggressive in order to get our value given the slowness. They serve drinks in pitchers and we found all to be tasty but sugary. The food was honestly very good - we loved the vegetable buns, the siu mai was quite tasty and the dumplings were all decent. It was just honestly a horrific ordering system because they refused to give fresh menus (so they kept getting confused on what we were checking off) and you couldn't order more food until you were done with what you had which led to 15+ minutes in wait time between courses. They did allow us to order for an extra 30 minutes on top of our allotted time so I thought everything was fair, but it was shocking service. Would maybe go back.

Chinatown must stop place for emerging into dim-sum!…read more After checking out a lot of spots in Chinatown; we gave this one a go for their specialities and it was very good. I must admit I was wary cause of the raiting but a local friend of mine; insisted on his recommendation and I gave in. I'm glad I did. The food was pretty good. Ordered a bit of everything to try out and it was delicious. The service was not amazing. Even when the restaurant was not very busy; seemed like the staff was more interested in their chats than to help around the patrons. Also, every time they will bring something it felt like a bothersome. I am only giving 4 starts purely on the food. If I count the service; I may give 3

Really good dim sum spot in Chinatown! They serve a wide variety of classic authentic dim sum…read moredishes in a nice and comfortable setting. I especially liked the pork cheung fun and the crispy noodles with pork. The xiao long bao and egg custards were good too. It was about 25 GBP per person, which is not bad for this quality of dim sum. The staff are pretty friendly and surprisingly hospitable - even for a slow eater like myself, I did not feel rushed at all and they often came by to refill my water whenever they noticed it getting low. The service speed is also very fast. There was a ~10 min wait to get in on Sunday afternoon, which isn't too bad at all. While the food didn't quite wow me enough for a full 5 stars, I would probably give Orient London 4.5 stars if I could. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for good dim sum in London.

They purposely covered up their normal menu on the board posted outside. Dishes ranged from GBP 30-47 for below quality and small portions. Plain ole inexcusable price gouging. The menu says cash only, but they absolutely take credit card. Do they really expect people to pay multiple hundred pound meals in cash? Beef chow fun was burned to a char.

TL;DR: Quick service and solid noodles, but overall a mixed experience.

The no alcohol surprise was unwelcome after a long day and I'm knocking them down a star for it (i.e., they no longer sell alcohol of any kind, including just beer and wine).

We also split the fish pie because we wanted to try it and I would highly recommend ordering that - it was very unique and unlike something I had tasted recently.
