We stopped at this restaurant in Chinatown, and given how many Chinese customers were dining there, we thought it was a good sign. Already drawn in by the menu, we went in, were warmly welcomed by the very kind staff, seated at a table, and shortly after ordering we were served with delicious dishes.
My beef noodles were generous in portion and very flavorful, and the rice was also very good. The pork and shrimp dumplings were truly delicious, perfectly cooked and well balanced in taste.
The restaurant has no windows, which makes the atmosphere a bit heavy both in terms of smell and noise, but it wasn’t too bothersome overall.
We’ve been twice in 3 days… proof that the food is excellent! We had lobster and noodles for dinner. It was absolutely delicious and flavoursome. Then today, we went to have dim sum. Plenty of choices to choose from. All the dishes were fresh and tasty!
Have been going here for 20 years. Stopped for a while when the owners changed but glad to know that food is still up to standard. Good quality dim sum. Lots of tea leaves in pot. Generous with chili oil. Air conditioning. No complaints. Will start to frequent more often
Amazing Chinese food for a great price. I had Dim Sum (Deep fried and steamed) and tea for only 13 GBP. It was a meal that filled me up without breaking the bank.
I would highly recommend this place for budget conscious
I came here 30 minutes before their dim sum service ended. The staff were very attentive and friendly, however in my opinion TOO ATTENTIVE (but hey, it’s an Asian restaurant so that’s the kind of service they give).
Ordering was straightforward, and the food came out fast as there wasn’t a lot of people there.
At Lido, you’ll get a large selection of dim sum, however some selection is not as good or on par compared to other dim sum places out of China Town. The Cheung Fun served there is pretty good, and so is their clay pot dishes and lotus wrapped rice with meat, however dishes involving their pastries like the croquettes aren’t as high quality and may be served at medium temperature like for us.
The price was okay, and the quality was here and there and depends on the day since I was expecting it to be amazing from what my girlfriend stated. But for me it was quite disappointing from what I’ve had in the past besides the rice dishes, however it’s pretty good if you want a quick lunch.
