Tea House serves affordable, delicious dishes all day long. The Crab Roe Soup Dumplings are bursting with flavor, the Vietnamese Rolls are light and refreshing, and the Cantonese Stir-Fried Pork is perfectly savory with a hint of spice. Don’t miss the crispy yet tender Roast Duck or the fragrant Radish Cake. Great value for such amazing taste!

This place is a gem for authentic Hong Kong-style cuisine! The dishes are incredibly flavorful, and everything we tried was spot-on. Highly recommend the tofu hot pot and dim sum – they were absolutely delicious! The service is fast, and the food arrives piping hot. With so many options on the menu, you’ll want to come early to avoid missing out. A must-visit for anyone craving a true taste of Hong Kong!

My favourite place to go for dim sum. Great prices and the food is so good. Stand out things: The three BBQ meat rice is great value. The cheung fun is silky. The taro croquettes are nicely battered.

It was my first time visiting the Tea House restaurant. The dim sum was amazing and I don't think I have to go to Chinatown anymore!!! The location is close to my place (by bus or on foot) and they accept bookings! It means I don't have to queue up for 30 minutes on the street. However, the food and service were great. Definitely will be back soon! :)

I discovered Tianfu Master near Deptford during a weekend trip to Greenwich Market, and it’s a gem! They serve both Cantonese dim sum and Sichuan dishes, offering tons of variety. We couldn’t resist ordering the BBQ trio – roast duck, char siu, and soy sauce chicken – all juicy and full of flavor. The dim sum is authentic and affordable at around 5 per dish; crispy shrimp rolls and pan-fried turnip cake are must-tries. The Sichuan options like Twice-Cooked Pork and Kung Pao Chicken were spicy, delicious, and very satisfying. Spacious, tasty, and even has KTV – perfect spot for groups!

What a lovely gem! I visited with a friend today, and had quite a few different types of dim sum (xiaolongbao, prawn & snow peas, custard...). All dishes were great, the staff was incredibly fun and attentive and made us feel welcome, and the prices are fair for the great quality of food. Will certainly come back!
