So good it has TWO menu's

Popped in here on a Thursday night (to avoid trick or treaters at Halloween) around 6.30pm and by 7pm it was full and people were waiting for tables (which seemed to turned fairly quickly).
Don't be confused by the two menus' like I initially was. The larger one is full of things you would have probably heard of (the 'English menu' if you will) and the smaller things you may not have (the 'Chinese menu' - though it has English translations).
I had my starter from one and my main course from the other and both were fresh, tasty and certainly of a higher quality than other China Town restaurants.
The restaurant is a bit cramped if you get a table in the middle - indeed I saw one couple had to split up and walk around the outside of two other tables to sit down but I think they just got unlucky as my place was fine.
Well worth a visit.

Delicate dim sum

Above expectations
We only came here for a lunch visit based on a friend's recommendation - our usual poison would be Chinese Experience.
Boy, are we glad we came here.
The dim sum were delicate, perfectly cooked, and very tasty. Having just come back from Beijing, and eaten Cantonese there, this must be seen as a high compliment!
Service was quick, and we were in and out in under 50 minutes - just about right for a decent lunch.
Only downside is that the price is slightly over what you'd normally look to pay for dim sum/yum cha, but to be honest I can personally live with the price hike for the amazing pork buns.
Recommended!
