For anyone who’s ever turned up to a Chinese restaurant in the evening for dim sum to politely be informed that these delicious morsels are only served during lunch, then you'll love Royal China Group's pick of the best places in London to enjoy evening Dim Sum.
As per Cantonese tradition, Dim Sum is usually only served from Noon until 5pm. But if you know
where to look, you can find delicious Dim Sum (often with great cocktails) after dark in London. Here are the best restaurants serving it:
West London: Royal China, Fulham
The prestigious Royal China Group is famous for its authentic Dim Sum, but only Royal China Fulham serves it in the evening. Head Dim Sum Chef Sam Chen makes all of the dim sum fresh each day to ensure it is of the highest quality. In the evening, guests can indulge in Dim Sum platters with signature flavours such as Honey Roast Pork Puffs, Scallop Dumplings, and Fried Prawn Dumplings with Coriander.
The smallest restaurant in the Royal China Group, Royal China Fulham has an intimate, friendly atmosphere perfect for its neighbourhood location. Lunch and dinner are served in luxurious surroundings. The restaurant has a charming outdoor terrace, perfect for al fresco dining on balmy summer evenings. Royal China Fulham is also the only restaurant in the group to offer a home delivery service - perfect for when you want a quiet night in.

South London: Mama Lan’s Chinese, Brixton
Being a Brixtonite, Mama Lan's holds a special place in my heart. This tiny restaurant featuring Beijing street food in the heart of Brixton Village Market is renowned for its scrumptious handmade dumplings, quickly prepared with love as you watch the action unfold.
The small but perfectly formed menu features Noodle Soups, Beijing Dumplings, a selection of snacks and salads and a collection of teas.
South Londoners are now spoilt for choice with two Mama Lan locations, including Brixton and Clapham (near Clapham Common tube).
