Xi Home Dumplings Bay

Great dumplings at reasonable prices for this area at the heart of central London. Popped in after a performance at The Coliseum round the corner, it's pretty close to a number of theatres.By the nature of the food the service was quick. The downstairs and upstairs areas are a little cramped but not too bad considering the value for money. You can see the kitchen staff preparing if you are on ground floor or walk past to get to lower ground floor. Prices were decent with two rounds of dumplings, spring rolls, cucumber salad and beers for 2 for less than £70. Dumpling selection extensive. Best of the bunch dumplings we had were the mackerel ones. The cucumber salad was a surprise, refreshing with hint of chilli. Seems to have quite a few bookings we just managed to snick in an hour before a booking and we're in and out within the hour.

Delicious dumplings. We ordered the lobster dumplings and cuttlefish dumplings. They looked so appetising and did not disappoint on taste. Really succulent and delicious. The quantity was very big though. Minimum order was 10 dumplings of any type. Next time we will probably order only the dumplings if we are just 2 people. 10 dumplings are just right for one person. The fried pork was also delicious and crispy. Quite sweet, though, so not the option if you prefer spice.

Xi Home is such a gem for authentic, homemade Northern Chinese dumplings! You can tell they’re made by hand because there’s that perfect little fingerprint on the dumpling skins—it really adds to the homemade feel. They’ve got a nice selection of Northern Chinese dishes, from noodles and cold appetizers to a variety of dumplings. My personal favorite has to be the squid dumplings; they’re so juicy and light, and it’s hard to find something like that in London. I’d probably skip the lobster dumplings, though—they taste pretty average. Overall, it’s really good value for money and super affordable, so it’s definitely a place to keep coming back to.

This place is amazing!! Today was my 10th time going this year and I’m not lying! I’ve been twice with my family and 6 times with friends! I ALWAYS recommend this place. As someone who is not fan of dumplings, this place CHANGED my life. (Get the cattle fish, king prawn and jade lobster dumplings!🤭) The cold pork ears and sweet and sour pork are to die for! Sweet and sour pork is so juicy and crispy. Everything is so filling and delicious. The service is amazing but can take a while when it gets really busy. Jacky is also a great guy, very fun and will check up on you regularly. If you’re tired of stir-fried Chinese dishes or skeptical or a picky eater (like me), just give this place a chance, you won’t regret it! If you don’t like it, brush your teeth and try again! It’s very affordable unless you decide to eat for a family of 4, like I always do. Good night.

Xihome is a chill little restaurant offering Dalian fare and their seafood dumplings are standout. Personal favourites include King Prawn, Jade Lobster and Cuttlefish. Eating both in store freshly cooked or getting fresh uncooked dumplings to cook or freeze at home never miss. Other tasty dishes include the cold spicy pork ear slices, pork hock noodles and sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour pork is always lean pork tenderloin with a fresh crispy coating, no oil taste and a great sauce. Noodles are a good option on cold day with a thick bouncy texture. While getting their premium dumplings will set you back over £2 a dumpling, it’s worth every penny for this treat. They’re packed full of the seafood, no bulking with flour or veg. Jacky is a great guy running this place and the tea store nearby. Booking is recommended since it gets very busy around dinner time and there are limited seats! You can now also order teas to your table from the tea store which makes the experience very convenient. If there’s ever any doubt about where to go, Xihome won’t be a mistake. Will be back soon.

Authentic dumplings with exceptional flavor and services！ Truly the best choice for Winter Solstice! We reserved our table in advance, so everything went smoothly. The owner at the front desk was so kind and even gave us a surprise discount. We’ll definitely come back next time!

I have wanted to try dishes here upon recommendation from a food content I came across. At first I was going to order the dumplings until I saw the prices, definitely not cheap, but I may try it next time. I opted for the Dan Dan noodles which had a medium spice level to it if you are unable to handle too much, but medium spices I would recommend this noodle dish. The next time I eat here I will try other dishes. Minus the compact seating area and being told you can stay up until an hour. I would still visit here again.

Got a reservation for a Friday a day before but it was the only one reservation available. I was super excited to try North Eastern Chinese food. The food is fantastic, we had prawn and courgette dumplings, green beans, the large soup dumpling (more for novelty), spicy pork dumplings and dan dan noodles. I would suggest sharing plates. We left very full and easily could have eaten less. The prawn dumplings were my favourite. They were definitely super freshly made (you can watch downstairs) On a slightly more negative note the seating areas are very cramped and this meant service was hard to get between the tables. It was really warm on the top floor Service was also a bit slow. We spent just £95 for 4 people but we could have ordered less and been satisfied.
