“ 2nd visit on weekend after 3 years which was former Joy kitchen . We had dim sum and fried rice which were nice . The top favourites will be deep fried shrimp dumplings and salty fish chicken rice . The only reason I rate 4 stars is the steamed dim sum were slightly overcooked and food turns out to be bit too soft , but taste still great though. We parked at Gloucester Quays multi storey with 5 mins walk only . ”

“ Love this place! The food here is absolutely delicious! The dim sum quality is second to none! Especially the beef tripe in satay sauce and beef manifold with ginger, spring onion deserves their very own shout-out here! The texture is absolutely soft and tender, the meat is very juicy and succulent. Full of flavours. Highly recommended! Star of the show: The beef brisket softens to a melt-in-the mouth consistency and so flavourful. Can’t miss it! Char Siu/ Cantonese barbecued pork is fragrant, honeyed yet smoky. Yum! Roasted duck is good. Roasted pork is my favourite. It has crackling skin on top of the alternating slivers of fat with juicy meat and a final salty layer at the bottom. Truly impeccable! Definitely worth checking out this place! ”

“ I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hilltop House in Gloucester for a lunch outing before a visit to the iconic Gloucester Cathedral, and I must say it is probably the best Dim Sum restaurant I have experienced in the UK! Traveling from Birmingham on a friend's recommendation, our expectations were met and massively surpassed. The food was delicious, maintained a high standard, and was generous with ingredients, truly standing out even after trying over 10 different Dim Sum restaurants across the UK. But it wasn’t just the food that was impressive; the friendly staff and the comfortable ambiance made our visit all the more delightful. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gloucester. A visit to Hilltop House is bound to be a pleasurable experience. Enjoy! ”

“ We had dinner at the restaurant and the stir fried dishes are probably one of the best I have tried in a while. It is authentic and I love the “wok hei” (air/energy of the wok, fire kissed) of the food, which is rare in the UK. I recommend the fried squid in HK shelter harbour style personally, it’s my favourite. ”

“ Yum dim sum and Hong Kong style dishes. Comfortable environment, good quality of food and the portion of food is bigger than average. Worth of money. I liked the vegetables the most which provided fish soup with the vegetables. Delicious and can’t find the similar one even in London. Recommended for anyone who liked Hong Kong style Chinese food. You can enjoy extra discounts if paying cash. ”
