The Dim Sum were truly, absolutely amazing and the duck was gorgeously done too!! Superb restaurant about five minutes from Holborn tube station. I can also recommend the Dolphin pub next door, especially if you want to time travel!!

We booked a table for two and when we arrived to the restaurant the table wasn’t free. So we had dinner in the karaoke room downstairs, very cold room. Bad experience.

Dim sum di alto livello. Noodles un po' troppo semplici. Cmq tutto il resto andava bene. Il rapporto prezzo e qualità è ottimo, lo staff non troppo accogliente ma neanche maleducato . Consigliato!

Very rude staff telling clients to shut up while ordering food. It took a us approximately 10 minutes to order 3 items from the menu and the waiter was coming back 4 times to confirm it all. Food was below average. Definitely not coming back.

Very good neighbourhood Chinese Restaurant. Prices are cheap and the food was pretty good. If you're into American style Chinese food, this is where you should go when in Holborn.

Canton Element is always excellent and last night was no exception. Working away alone, I had a simple meal of soft shell crab and then Kung Po king prawns - superb as ever.

Good food and a good deal for lunch. However no one came to take our order (drinks or food) and when we eventually asked the waitress to take our order she was extremely rude and impatient with us. Our food took a long time to arrive and we had to take our main courses back to the office with us. Overall not impressed but have had good experiences here in the past so may well revist.

The food is great and wide selection. The staff are friendly and helpful. Service was good with perfect time between courses. Location is easy if in Holborn or kings cross area. They have good value set courses and the restaurant was busy but not noisy. Would use again.

A bit disappointed to be honest, from the reviews Posted i expected better. Dim sum were very good as was the crispy duck, but salt and pepper ribs were very ordinary, and the pork was frankly very poor. Won't be going here again.

Pleasant staff with a good menu selection. A nice clean restaurant but slightly limited on wine by the glass options considering it's location and vast menu.

We had a most enjoyable evening at the Canton Element: friendly service and first class food. We went for the larger of the Set Menus - and not only were the portions exceptionally generous but it was all delicious and freshly prepared. The restaurant is fairly narrow but long and well fitted out with modern touches. Downstairs there are some karaoke areas although, as we were having a quiet dinner for two, these didn't intrude in any way. For a barmy, early June Saturday evening it was less full than one might have expected. However, we have no hesitation in recommending it unconditionally for its fine food, good service and pleasant environment.

A superb Chinese. The dim sum are not to be missed and sea bass, salt & pepper kings prawns and chilli beef with mango are exquisite. The service is very friendly and lovely and wine list is well chosen and priced.
