🥟A Dim Sum Favourite Is Expanding


Dim Sum Duck has quietly built a loyal following in King’s Cross, the kind earned through consistently good dim sum, comforting Cantonese dishes, and duck that people are willing to queue for. If it’s already on your regular rotation, there’s something new to know.

The team behind Dim Sum Duck has expanded with a second, larger site at 186 Pentonville Road, just one street away from the original restaurant. It’s an evolution rather than a reinvention: the same focus on freshly made dumplings and expertly prepared duck, now with more space to enjoy it.

The new location also introduces draught beer, making it an easy choice for longer lunches, relaxed dinners, or casual meet-ups where you want good food without fuss. Think familiar favourites, a little more breathing room and an atmosphere that encourages you to stay a while.
