Pork buns and dragons and jellyfish, oh my 14th September 2008

You can always tell a real Chinese restaurant when the Chinese clientele outnumber everybody else three to one, and this one's no exception. The English on the menus isn't great but I strongly recommend just ordering anything with interesting ingredients, works for me every time!

The food is excellent, especially the enormous selection of dim sum, which is brought around on trolleys for you to select. I adore char siu bau (rice buns stuffed with savoury pork) and the ones here are gorgeous. I’ve also had some wonderfully weird dishes here, including vinegared jellyfish (tastes better than it sounds)!
Service is attentive but not exactly friendly – prices are reasonable and the location just off Piccadilly Circus makes it a convenient stop-off point when you’re out and about. Easy to spot from the dragon totem pole outside!

This is a great restaurant in London in china town, very close to Leicester Square. The dim sum is delivered on trolleys and there are seperate waiters who will bring you drinks and other dishes off the menu (you do not have to have dim sum). The food is good quality and although you may order many dishes the price is really reasonable. The roast pork is amazing! and also the thousand layer jelly is good fun. I would recommend this for large family lunches. You are served immediately and you can try a wide variety of food. Dim Sum is served during lunchtime only and gets very busy on weekends.
