Din Tai Fung Covent GardenA-

5 Henrietta St, London WC2E 8PS · Chinese restaurant, Dim sum restaurant, Taiwanese restaurant · The West End

Din Tai Fung Covent Garden delivers expertly crafted dim sum and Taiwanese classics in a bustling, modern setting, but expect premium prices and occasional service hiccups.

The verdict

Din Tai Fung Covent Garden delivers exceptional food quality anchored by world-class xiao long bao and authentic Taiwanese classics, supported by outstanding setting appeal in a prime central London location with modern, attractive design. However, inconsistent execution across repeat visits and occasional service lapses during peak times prevent grade A territory—this is a reliably excellent destination for dim sum lovers, but not without occasional disappointments.

One caveat: Portion sizes are consistently smaller than expected for the price.
