TAIPAN

Taipan is a dim sum haven for those who love a good bite. The staff, including the ever-helpful waiters, make sure you don't leave without sampling the handmade dim sum, which is apparently the highlight here. Fair warning though: the ambience is more 'vintage chic' than 'Instagram-worthy', with some chairs that could use a little love. But for a tasty meal, who needs comfort, right?

Frequent visitors rave about the goose palm and abalone dish that’s taken the crown for best in the UK, while the sweet and sour pork has hit the mark for many. Just remember to reserve a table if you’re heading there on a weekend; otherwise, you might have to wait longer than you’d like. Overall, it's a solid option if you're craving some decent dim sum and don’t mind a bit of a dated vibe.
