“ Amazing amazing food and fantastic vegan options too! Yun Cih Wendy was wonderful too all the staff here are incredible. Great cocktails too the mushroom xi long bao is out of this world and get the spicy sauce too ”
“ We are really.impresswd with DTF maintaining the food quality in different countries. London shop can keep the same quality as in Taipei, Tokyo and Hong Kong. The XLB maintained the same quality. The Red Bean bao and Sweet Taro bun are really nice desserts. The Special beef soup noodle is very tasty. The soup base has a strong flavor. ”
“ Easily the best xiao long bao in London! The dumpling skin was delicate yet perfectly structured, the filling was juicy and flavorful, and that rich, piping hot broth inside? Absolute perfection. Every bite was a little explosion of happiness. We also had the beef noodle soup and some other classics—everything was spot on. You can tell they really know what they’re doing here. Service was impeccable too. The whole team was warm and professional, and Chang, in particular went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. If you love dumplings (or just amazing food in general), this place is a must. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ Dog friendly restaurant on the 4th floor of Selfridges. Quite expensive for what it is but it's inside Selfridges and so it is acceptable. Services were very good, staff were very polite, friendly and professional. All food were amazing little bland, under seasoned, you do need dipping sauce and chilli oil to enhance the flavour. Overall its a great experience but not a place you want to visit all the time for their food. But if you are shopping at Selfridges and fancy some soup dumplings, then it is good enough and convenient. ”
“ Wendy and Jessie were very nice to me, they are both so friendly and elegant. William let me try the new drink as well. Thank you so much guys! I will continue coming here every day ”
“ Soup dumplings were a favourite! Lived up to the hype. Prawn fried rice was tasty. Drinks were reasonably priced. Clean tidy minimalistic setting. Very close to Tottenham Court Road station. Reservation recommended. ”
“ Loved this restaurant in London. The food lived up to it's expectations. We received our food very quickly and very delicious. Helena was our waitress and attended to our every need. The atmosphere was very nice also. ”
“ My server Wendy did a nice greeting and asked about my day, which was different to the experience I had in convent garden shop! She had a warm chat with me and ask if I need anything before I ordered, I felt very happy about this. The food is good, of course not compatible to the Taiwan shops, but at least the drunken chicken, the shaolunbao and the pork shop resembled similar taste that I tried in the Tokyo and the Hong Kong shop. I feel happier that Wendy took some time taking with me on the Taiwanese food, and I will definitely come back again because I feel so good on the customer service I enjoyed! ”
