Dim Sum Tea
About This Spot

The space is intimate, with just enough room to feel tucked away from the everyday bustle. It’s a place where patience blends with anticipation, encouraging you to slow down and savour the moment over freshly made dim sum and comforting Hong Kong-style dishes.
As you settle in, the rhythm of the room moves at a gentle, unhurried pace—reflective of the care taken in each dish. The kitchen’s warm aromas drift through, inviting you to explore an array of textures and flavours: from the crispiness of delicate prawn wontons to the soft richness of traditional chicken feet. Drinks like the iconic Hong Kong iced milk tea add a nostalgic touch, reminding you that here, food and drink evoke more than just taste, but a sense of home.

Conversations flow easily between families, longtime regulars, and newcomers who have discovered a rare, authentic gem.

A cosy family owned dimsum place, the place is pretty small so it’s quite crowded and isolated inside, I would heavily recommend booking in advance as there’s very few seating available to avoid disappointment. The dishes itself are pretty decent, I personally liked the beef ho fun, prawn toast, the hk milk tea was very nice and chicken feet which was super soft though wish the curry tripe had some potatoes rather than mooli. The reason for the 4 star was due to the service, it came across slow, sluggish and not very approachable, we had man serve us but not sure if he was new but the service wasn’t as smooth as it could have been.

Delicious cantonese dishes and all day dimsum, lovely portion sizes and great fresh dimsum. Hong Kong Ice milk tea tasted like home.

Excellent place for dim sum, all the dishes were freshly made. The har gau, siu mai, prawn wontons all had at least 2 full size prawns in each one. Very tasty and definitely not frozen, hence the service can be a little bit slow. Booking in advance is a must, especially at the weekend. The restaurant itself is quite small and snug. A shame they do not make Cheung feng.

Food here is absolutely unreal. We ordered more of the Chinese takeout dishes over the classic Hong Kong ones but they were some of the best I’ve had in the UK. Everything was fresh, tasted unbelievable and the staff were lovely. And even though we wildly overate (it was too good not to) we didn’t feel bad the next day. A must try!

Dim Sum Tea offers authentic Hong Kong–style dim sum, with all dishes made fresh in-house. The food tastes fresh and traditional. The Malay Sponge Cake is soft, light, and not too sweet. The deep-fried glutinous rice dumplings are crispy outside and chewy inside, with a tasty savoury filling. Both are highly recommended. The Hong Kong–style milk tea is smooth and rich, with a strong tea flavour. It goes very well with the dim sum. If you enjoy homemade Hong Kong dim sum and good milk tea, Dim Sum Tea is a great place to visit.

The food is authentic Hong Kong Dim Sum at its best! Place is packed with Chinese people. It seems a family run business. Fresh, lovely tasting and good amounts. The service is fun filled and very happy. Very reasonably priced.

New owners. Cash & card accepted. cash is 10% off too. Amazing authentic Cantonese dishes. We ordered 9 items for 4 of us. (7 dim sums). (See photos) All dishes were Freshly made. We booked our table on a Saturday lunch time. So we didn’t need to wait. Highly recommended if you miss Hong Kong dim sum.
