Joy King Lau - Menu

Amazing food, fast service and very cheap. Very effective and very Chinese. The staff is not very friendly but I would say it's cultural. One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in London.

A huge variety of Dimsums makes this place great. Service is not one of the highlights, and is simply brisk and businesslike. However the dimsums save the day and will make you visit again for sure!

delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine, great service also. Honeycombs are crispy seetang, crispy noodles with sweet, salt and pfeffer tofu, sweet in black bonswe come here for over 30 years and love it.

Food is ok. I've been here a couple of times and each time my experience seems to be different. Nothing meets expectation and service could definitely be better but it does come with the place being so busy.

was already here a few times - good yum cha, good variety and reasonable prices. my favorites are the meat croquets, the black boron and garlic buzz ribs and the teig stick cheung fun, but there is something for everyone! only the cache to see is the line - there is always a snuck at the waking, but fortunately it moves pretty fast!

I have visited this restaurant since 1991 and is used to be excellent however after I had visited a family of 5 yesterday, I felt honestly demolished and very disappointed. service was soulless and warned worse, although the food quality has beaten - my favorite Chinese dish is singapur rice vermicelli and this had hardly any of the traditional ingredients hug meat and garnel) the taste was bad and there was practically zero fresh vegetables (bit the two-sty steer clear is my recommendation, our meal was three singapur nuts and weded three

I heard this establishment has been around for years and I took a group of friend here. They were Dim Sum novices and I tried to give then variety from duck to pork buns to Siu Mai et al. They all thoroughly enjoyed it and tried new food namely spicy chicken feet to tripe; the highlights were the pork buns the roast duck rice. The staff wasn't too bad from what I have read on past reviews; although they do have ear-pieces they feel like they're on a mission. The ambience here is pretty standard to all the other restaurants the pricing was actually cheaper than their competitors in Chinatown. I be back for some affordable Dim Sum next time.

This place was recommended to me by a colleague from Hong Kong. It's a dependable address for daytime dim sum but I wasn't blown away by the food. Pricing is very modest, with most dim sum dishes at the £2.80 mark Service is remarkably efficient but not terribly warm. All of the staff wear ear pieces so are in constant communication with the kitchen, the door, etc. Everything arrived piping hot. There were several occasions when waiters stopped to check if our teapot needed refilling as they passed by. You do have to ask for soy and chilli paste, because they are not routinely brought to the table as you sit down. The standout dish in our order was the prawn cheung...read more

Chinatown is a plethora for Chinese cooking and despite the original flair of every storefront, it does start to feel a bit homogenous. Its hard to know whats good and whats bad when it all starts to mould into the same. Joy King Lau has been around since the 90s and the name means a place where people can get together to eat eat and drink. It was most appropriate as a meeting ground for our little group catchup. One of the group had been before and said it was good. We ordered a mix of dim sum (dumplings, pork bun), sweet and sour pork 8.50) and the fried rice noodles 8). It was all quite good, the sweet and sour pork less so. The sauce was a bit gluggy and the pieces were...read more
