China City Russell Square

Went for Dim Sum at China City in Russell Square and was surprised by the excellent quality of the food, if not the decor.

We went to China City in Russell Square on a Monday lunchtime. The restaurant was pretty empty, but the service was good and the food well cooked and reasonably priced.

China City, London. This was my first visit to China City and I thought the food was very good. The staff were friendly. It was good value and would definitely recommend it. Ver carta

China City-Russel Square had friendly efficient staff and comfortable table arrangements. The mixed starters were very nice, however the mains were covered in very sticky artificial sauces (more like take away than restaurant fresh cooked style). Reaonably priced wines.

China City Woburn Place near Russell Sq tube was very good. very fresh tasting, delicate flavours, good service and very reasonably priced. The only thing to spoil it is that the tables, which are too big, look like they came from my local snooker club. Nothing against such clubs but everything in its place

We chose China City in search of a quiet lunch and were not disapponted the restaurant was peaceful and the service attentive but unobtrusive the crispy duck was delighful as were the sweet and sour prawns and the vegetarian spring rolls. We enjoyed the luch very much and will return we recommend it as good value and a very good experience. GD Ver carta

The food was not bad at all. Authentic in most aspects but I suppose I am a fan of dimsum and am Chinese myself so I've tasted better around London. More than anything, the restaurant is quite daunting. Very dated, very badly lit, and dont expect much in way of service. Just go for some relatively decent dimsum, In and out quick, and u should be fine.

Reasonable quality dim sum and standard prices, if compared to other dim sum restaurants in London China town it sits in the middle of the pack. The restaurant is big and usually very quiet, so I choose to come here when I'm looking for some local quick dim sum (I live in the area) and to avoid the hussle and bustle that is usually associated with the dim sum experience.

Went to China City, Russell Square on Saturday as I was going to be in the area. The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived at 7.15 but became steadily fuller as the evening wore on. Given its location among a large number of hotels, you might imagine that this restaurant would offer a non-descript tourist experience but it was better than that. The food was tasty and of good quality and, given its WC1 location, even the prices were reasonable. Worth a try. Ver carta
