Chinese Taste

Above expectations
Simple but elegant Chinese restaurant that offers a wide set of regional dishes (Cantonese, Beijing, etc). Staff is polite and helpful, very friendly. Prices are not high. Usaully i'm skeptical about Chinese food but this restaurant changed my mind. It's the ideal place where to eat and stay comfortable.

Half Price Dim Sum FTW!

Above expectations
On my first day at my new job I was taken here for lunch and am now a seasoned veteran, usually going at least once every couple of weeks for a dim sum feed.
Not only is the food great but the prices are unbelievable - half price dim sum at lunch time! If you're in a group of 2 or more, you can get a mammoth feed for under a tenner.
Service is efficient and reasonably friendly. Maybe not the best place for a date but perfect for groups.

Beyond expectations
A fantastic restuarant on Shaftesbury Ave. We go often and in a large group for Dim Sum on Sunday. The promotions for eating there during the week make it a good place if you are in need of a good feed for minimum spend.
Very popular, with Chinese and people in the know for good quality Szechuan, Cantonese and Peking dishes.
The dumplings are the best I have had anywhere in London. Also lots of vegetarian dishes to choose from. They happily made us at our request us a noodle dish cooked to our taste. No problem at all they said. Shredded turnip cakes (add chilli paste for a good kick), vegetable steamed dumplings, sea spiced aubergine, salt & chilli scallops, Shanghai pork dumplings. - all highly recommended. Our table is usually covered with so many plates & mountains of food, but it all goes down with the chinese tea.
Staff are always polite and helpful, they are great at suggesting new things to try and explaining what the dishes are. They remember their regulars, which is always nice.
Its very modern and clean inside with wall to ceiling glass windows onto the street (good for people watching). There is more seating down stairs in a smaller room, nice for private dinning or a party.
This a great place for a cheap eat.
