Sonny Pathak 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 hidden food gems.
