Yi-Ban

A very nice comfortable restaurant. However the dim sum choice are very limited compared to other restaurants. The dim sum does not taste fresh, especially the har gau's and prawn cheung fun!

If you live local and want something ordinary and then this is alright for you..however for good dim sum - this is not the place for you!

Dim Sum not great from this place, was very disappointed with the quality of some of the meat dumplings. The duck noodle soup was pretty good though. Amazing views, but not a lot else. Shame as it has so much potential.

We've been to Yi-ban near Canary Wharf a few times before, and expected a similar quality of food from this restaurant. I took my family there, 6 of us. This is quite a trendy restaurant with decent service. However the food was really really poor. Limited choice on menu. Microwave dim sum tasted better than the one from this restaurant. My local chinese restaurant could have cooked better starters and main course.

Go there if you are not too bother about quality of food.

Food was very good and well presented. Service was also pretty good. However, when the bill came my views changed very quickly. It is completely overpriced in relation to all aspects of this restaurant - there were two of us and it came to well over £100; we barely drank too! It was empty when we were there....but i am not surprised. I have a feeling this a place you go once and dont return...which is a shame as it has potential to be very good - unless they only want the super-rich from imperial wharf!

Trading on its 2005 reputation I'm afraid.

Food usually dry and overcooked. Service curt at best, and rushed.

I'm not sure if they've persisted with the band; I hope not. How they managed to find any west indians who can play Bob Marley hits badly and without rhythm is beyond me, and I know because they played very loudly.

Not cheap either and on two occasions they persisted with a demand for service to be added to the credit crd bill although it is clearly included.

Never again.

We had heard good things about Yi Ban, but were really disappointed ! The food was really only average and we found it very off putting to find when we arrived that sauces/dips for Dim Sum were ready on our table, rather congealed looking, and weren't sure whether they had already been used by previous clients. As there were flies around we decided not to use them, but when we overheard another table ask for fresh sauces and the confirmation from the waiter that they were in fact fresh, we realised we weren't the only people to assume this.
