Lovely House — Restaurant in London

Went here for my birthday and I can honestly say: don’t let appearances fool you. Lovely House Dim Sum isn’t some polished, posh, linen-napkin joint — it’s basically a takeaway with a few tables, laminated menus, and Deliveroo riders flying in and out. But wow, the food. This is the real deal: freshly made, unbelievably fluffy, comforting dim sum — the kind you dream about later.

The prawn tempura was light, crisp, and perfect (see photo!), and a standout yam dish came slick with chilli oil, sesame, and coriander — smoky, sweet, addictive. Real sake too, served warm and generous.

Kathy, our waitress (and probably the owner), was wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot on. Everything felt personal, homemade, and full of soul.

Exceptional value for money. If you’re nearby, eat in. If you’re not — get on Deliveroo. Either way, this is one of London’s...

I recently moved to London, and I had a sudden craving for Chinese cuisine. Since this restaurant had stood out in the neighbourhood with pretty good reviews, I gave it a try. The result?

This is my second time visiting Lovely House Dim Sum Restaurant, and it never disappoints! The food is absolutely amazing – the shrimp dumplings and wontons are incredibly fresh and flavorful. The spring rolls are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, especially when paired with their sweet chili sauce. I ordered the Singapore Style Fried Rice as main dish. It is unique and packed with flavors.

The service is just as wonderful as the food. The owner is super friendly, thoughtful, they even gifted me some prawn crackers.

Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious dim sum. Can’t wait to...
