Cantonese restaurant China Tang has expanded from The Dorchester into Harrods' Dining Hall with a new dim sum concept ahead of its 20th anniversary celebrations in 2025.

Dim Sum by China Tang is an intimate 25-cover restaurant offering 16 dim sum variations (14 savoury and two sweet), including  luxury interpretations such as scallop dumplings topped with caviar, Wagyu taro puffs, truffle and shiitake mushroom bao and chicken dumplings in spicy sauce.

Signature dishes from the Park Lane venue, including roast duck and stir-fried A5 Wagyu beef in black pepper sauce, also make an appearance. View the full menu of Dim Sum by China Tang here. Head Chef James Xia, who brings three decades of Cantonese culinary experience from prestigious London restaurants including Le Chinois in Knightsbridge, leads the kitchen alongside China Tang's Dim Sum master, Chef He.

Chef He, who joined the Park Lane restaurant in 2019, oversees daily dim sum preparation for both locations.The venue's design complements the historic Art Deco features of Harrods Dining Hall, creating a visual link to the original restaurant. The menu extends beyond dim sum to include fine wines, premium teas such as Iron Goddess, and tea-based cocktails including the Tang Tea Punch."We are thrilled to bring Dim Sum by China Tang to Harrods in what marks the beginning of an exciting five-year partnership," says Nathalie Ford, VP Europe and Middle East for China Tang. "It is a significant new chapter for the brand, allowing us to offer guests an elevated dim sum experience in one of the world's most iconic dining locations."
