I can around lunchtime in the early afternoon, not too busy ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm Had a very ordinary meal of Dim Sum at Laureate last Friday. it is such a shame as I remembered a couple of years ago the Dim Sum used to be outstanding. What happened? Did they lose the chef? Anyhow Laureate Dim Sum is no longer better than the run of the mill fare in Chinatown. Come on guys, pull your socks up and give us Dim Sum fans ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm Food and Dim Sum are good. The restaurant looks very clean and thanks to big window its very light. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm Went there on Monday lunchtime 12.30pm as had always enjoyed the food and variety in the past; however was disapointed this time.

The staff ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm Went there on a weekday for dim sum. Staff were unfriendly and not too charming.

The dim sums were tasty overall, but did not supersede those at ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm Enjoyed a lovely post theatre Set Meal for 2 at the Laureate last weekend. Food was very tasty, duck especially, and very reasonably priced. Would recommend http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm Ate here last night, and was impressed. We had to rush as we were going to the theatre, but we were able to comfortably eat a 2-course meal in under an hour. We had a mixed dim sum starter which was mostly seafood, very tasty and fresh.

The duck was really good, not fatty or dry as it can be ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/5692.htm fantastic lunchtime meal (4 pax) Dim Sum , Honey Roast pork and Crispy Salt & Chilli fish plus Noodles , Excellent service, great value, stunning food.
