Really disappointing - we had made a booking and one of our party arrived (the two others were running a bit late) but the person who arrived first (a black woman) was made to feel extremely unwelcome, and when she tried to explain a table had been booked, the staff put their hand in her face saying they did not have any space, theybdidnt understand what she was saying, she would need to wait. I have been to canton element a number of times, and have brought several colleagues, and enjoy it very much, but it was extremely disappointing to experience this very unwelcoming behaviour. We decided to take our custom elsewhere.

Good dim sums at reasonable price. The crispy duck is very delicious. The only disappointment is Yangzhou fried rice. Although its taste was good, it was not cooked in the authentic Cantonese style.

Despite making a reservation, they were over capacity and so could not seat me. I had to wait for a takeaway instead, which wasn't ideal. The dimsum portions are also quite small.

Canton Element is good, reliable and a well set-up restaurant. It discourages one from trying elsewhere. Canton Element is good, reliable and a well set-up restaurant. It discourages one from trying elsewhere.
