Reviews for Old China Hand

I really like this place because the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Its got a lovely calm atmosphere too; so good for catching up with friends away from noisy farringdon crowds and banging bar music. Pretty fairy lights and candles. The new chef I have heard is quite good (Malaysian and Dim Sum) though I have not tried menu recently. They have a good selection of ales. Mixed crowd - worth a look in.

Credit to my friend Dimitra who told me about it!
Bar which serves dim sum is a genius idea! I was there about 3 month ago.
The dim sum were good- you can obviously find better one in places like royal china and dimT but considering that this is a pub, you are very lucky to have this food around... The atmosphere is a bit strict maybe it is the black tables and chairs. There were many people smoking and that was quite disturbing- I am sure the smoking ban did this place a favour. Staff were great in the bar! Go upstairs to see where the magic happens.
