Angel, Chinese, Dim Sum - Restaurant Guide

“Old-school cooking, just like you’d find in Hong Kong”, is on the menu at this tiny outfit that has become a place of foodie pilgrimage: “of all the many Chinese restaurants in London serving dim sum and other Cantonese staples, this is a long-tail success”… but only “if you can bear the hour-long queue on grimy King’s Cross Road”; the “industrial-speed” service (“a bit off-hand, but well-meaning”); and “very cramped tables”. Top Tip: “go between 2.30 & 4.00pm after the lunchtime rush is over and they’re winding down before starting up again at 6pm”; “best tasty prawns I’ve had in years”.
