Xi Home Dumplings Bay Covent Garden is a northeastern Chinese restaurant at 43 Chandos Place in London. Inspired by the founder’s northern Chinese heritage, the restaurant introduces the food and dough craft of Dalian in a casual setting close to the West End.
Dumplings are the defining speciality, handmade daily by pastry chefs using fresh dough and fillings. Boiled dumplings highlight the tender texture associated with shuijiao, while steamed and pan-fried choices offer different finishes and make it easy to order several varieties for the table.
The broader menu explores northern Chinese pastry traditions through buns, mantou and crisp pancakes, accompanied by seafood and other regional dishes. Sharing several plates gives families and groups a useful way to compare fillings, cooking methods and sauces.
The Covent Garden branch serves lunch and dinner every day and accepts table reservations, with online ordering also available. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current menu and ask staff about fillings, wheat, sesame, soya and shared preparation before ordering.
