The food was really really good. It is worth the cost considering some restaurants in London cost more for less of the taste. Was lucky to be there right after they opened, less people and better attention from the staff. They are more Hong Kong like flavour. I believe this is what people call the 'umami flavour.' As the depth of the flavour is so nice.

Fabulous place. Visiting London from Australia, was up for a classic Chinese meal on a Sunday evening (27th of November 2022). This restaurant delivered exactly that. Friendly & attentive staff, great food. And great to see big families seated around large tables enjoying a fine feast. Very end of our meal waiter brings over the Eftpos machine for the credit card tap when we sheepishly asked is it okay with cash wish I had taken a photo of his big smile "oh yes cash is good". My best wishes to everyone at the Phoenix Palace.

Craving Cantonese food on my last night in London and came here. Of course they cater to yt folx and offer to debone and remove any lingering signs that the food used to be an animal (they asked if we wanted the head of our fish dish as well and being Asian, I said leave it lol.) they did filet everything. Service is fine, food is pretty good. Is it expensive? Quite so, but frankly, the location in Zone 1 makes up for it. I'd come here again, especially given the staff speaks Cantonese and can give you suggestions. Decorated like a grand dim sum place too-- will be a pick for me for Cantonese in London for the future

Yummy. That's a word someone should say for this place. Look the servers can be nasty. The service can blow, and reviews will support this, but the food was quite good. I opened up with Wasabi Prawns dim sum. Fantastic. The dipping sauce was lame. Next, King Prawns with Pepper and Black Bean sauce. Another home run. The fried rice wasn't good, just average, otherwise a winner. This place isn't cheap. But sefin6 worth it. Oh if you use Deliveroo, you can order as well. The prices are the same as going direct. I know. I ordered a few nights later. This time, from my hotel.

Reserved a table for the dim sum menu at noon sharp at the end of the Chinese New Year week. This proved wise as the multi level banquet hall filled to the brim over the course of the next two hours (we observed the ratio of Asian to Caucasian patrons to be roughly 40/60 w a handful of mixed tables; we took this to be a good sign w the general profile to be locally sourced or business but no tourists which is key despite its proximity to Madame Tussaud's). This was my first non cart (non nyc) dim sum experience and I have to say I didn't miss the jostle and tart exchanges that much. We v civilly marked off our selections - the well worn classics, ie sticky rice in lotus leaf, pork and shrimp dumplings, prawn crackers, a noodle dish w cabbage and glass prawn dumplings - and were brought them in reasonably quick succession. We were stuffed and at £40 total including tea and service, I have no complaints. We weren't rushed even though the place was humming and enjoyed what will be the first of many leisurely dim sum meals at PP!

Over all great experience here. I am a New Yorker visiting London and I've been looking for a great place to eat some dumplings and someone recommended me this place. The design is extravagant, but in a good way, I enjoyed it as it gave a more authentic feel to it. Its colorful and big. We came at lunch time and we were seated very quickly. The place was not full, but there were many locals there. We got a chicken sweet corn soup that was great. This is what is known as egg drop soup. Then we got a lot of dumplings: Spinach dumplings (or dim sum) - were absolutely delicious. 5/5 Shrimp (prawn) dumplings - delicious and delicate w/ big chunks of shrimp in it. 5/5 Shanghai pork dumplings - juicy, steamy and delicious. 5/5 Sea food dumplings in soup, which I thought was soup dumpling and its not - its a big dumpling with shrimp and crab in some clear broth w/ a piece of crab meat stick. The soup was bland but the dumpling was quite tasty. 2/5 Chicken and mushroom buns - steamy, soft, fluffy and sweet. A must. 5/5 Beef ball dumplings - its a meatball basically.. and not a dumpling. The beef is good but its a meatball and not a dumpling. 2/5 Service was quick and efficient, though not very welcoming or nice. Prices are high and service was included (13%) I would recommend it and come again

This Chinese restaurant serves good-old Cantonese-style food...with a Marylebone price tag, of course. I've been here a few times now - both for Dim Sum and for dinner, and every time it was pretty good. On my last visit, we ordered the spicy chicken, which from a taste-point-of-view was really nice. What I didn't love as much, was that it was relatively small pieces of chicken, with even smaller bones still in them. The other dish, also excellent, was a kind of stew of aubergine & pork in a sauce flavoured with Chinese sweet olives. The Phoenix Palace is a traditional banquet-style restaurant, so don't be surprised if there's a big birthday party going on or if it seems like you're crashing someone's wedding...just enjoy the buzz and the cultural experience!
