This “longstanding and reliable choice” with views of the sea has been going strong for over four decades thanks to its “really authentic Chinese dim sum” – the highlight of a “typically extensive” Cantonese menu. Come to the “busy” outfit for lunch and “marvel at seeing so many Chinese people who have sought it out!” (just don’t forget to book or they’ll beat you to it).

Over four decades since its launch, this “longstanding Brighton Chinese” with sea views is still “one of the most authentic Cantonese around”, and accordingly something of a local institution; the vast enterprise is especially rated for its dim sum, and is often filled to capacity with Chinese families, making booking essential.

This “long-established, proper Chinese restaurant” (est. 1980), “right near the Brighton seafront”, features “highly attentive service” and is “routinely full of people of Chinese heritage”. “Go for the dim sum – and stay for the kung pao prawns”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
