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.

It is a small restaurant but very busy, dim sum quality is very nice. Been back twice already. If you didn't book, prepare to wait at least 30 min.

We moved to Bedfordshire a few years back and we've struggled to find anywhere that does dim sum, especially to the quality we used to get at our old local in Essex. This is probably one of the best tasting dim sum I've had. The portions are generous and tasty. The staff are also so kind and accommodating.
My in-laws have been going back to Hong Kong since the 70's and had their own take away for many years (my father in law is from Hong Kong). My mother in law was seriously impressed and that take a lot.
We came with a 2 month old baby and really it was a bit silly because there isn't really room for a pram. But the staff made it work for us, which really was so kind and unnecessary.
We will be back with various family members in tow and a baby carrier so we can sit upstairs. Thank you so much!- Service

Found this Chinese restaurant and gave it a try - did not regret going! It mainly does Hong Kong cuisine. Opened their doors 1.5 months ago. Would recommend the pig skin (think boiled pork crackling) and fish ball - taste of childhood from Hong Kong. Friendly staff, it's a small store though so expect some amount of waiting on the weekend. We spent around 50-60 for 3 people for lunch.

This is the most traditional Hong Kong taste’s cuisine in the UK. Dim Sum’s ingredients are sufficient, pork “Siu Mai” is not greasy and fired rice or noodles are very delicious as well. It’s definitely taste of Hong Kong tea restaurant. Highly recommend and I definitely come back again.

Dim Sum Tea – nestled in the beautiful Welwyn Garden City, this charming spot offers a unique experience: all the dim sum is handmade by the husband, a skilled dim sum chef, while his wife and team run the restaurant. Look at the photo of the siu mai – it’s huge and packed with the freshest prawns! Easily the best we’ve had in ages. Fun fact: Welwyn Garden City is one of the UK’s two garden cities, blending urban life with nature.

Went there for the first time and the atmosphere was a typical Asian canteen which is very familiar. It is not the posh type of restaurant. The place can only accommodate up to 12 people so there can be a wait depending on what time you go.
Food: was very good. We ordered the Rice Dishes (meat dish with rice). We had Sweet & Sour Pork which had was nice and crunchy underneath the sauce coating. Warning this might be a bit sour for some people. We also had the Sweet Pepper and Beef in Blackbean Sauce which was lovely. The beef was nice and soft, the sauce savoury.
Side Dishes: We wanted to order the Yam Dumpling but it was sold out. We got the Mixed Meat Dumpling instead and it was amazing. Probably my favourite for today's set. It's like a "buchi" but with meat and mushroom filling.
We also had pork siu mai which was also great. It had whole prawns inside too. We could taste the freshness of the prawn.
Staff were friendly especially the boss mom. Helping her where 2 young ladies. I did not ask but they seemed to be related- possibly a family-run business.
One thing to improve perhaps for people who would like to eat in solitude is the frequent coming to the table and checking if everything is okay. The place is quite small so the customer can easily call or raise their hands if they need anything.
FYI: There is 10% service charge.
Other than that, the whole experience was great. No holding back, giving 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.- Service

It’s recognized by HongKongers for its authentic taste. 1. Milk Tea is Cafe De Coral taste; 2. Custard Bun/Milk Yolk Bun is very soft and creamy; 3. Fried Taro Dumpling is crispy and delicious.

Very authentic taste. Friendly staff with attentive service. The 叉燒包 was much bigger than expected. It's quite an intimate space. Would recommend coming early or make a reservation.

I rarely write reviews, but this restaurant was exceptional and I was genuinely surprised to find we were the only diners there on a Saturday evening.
Having grown up in Hong Kong where yum cha was a cherished weekend family tradition, I've tried numerous Chinese tea restaurants across London and Manchester since moving to the UK. This establishment stands out as by far the best I've experienced. The flavors are authentic, portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable.
The only thing to critique is the “Chinese tea” that tastes like water.
I would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking genuine Cantonese cuisine. The quality truly deserves more recognition than it currently receives.- Service
