It’s strange to find a Chinese restaurant in the middle of a shopping centre, particularly one in England yet that’s exactly where you’ll find this one (actually in the O2 Centre). True to their name, this place apparently serves dim sum on the weekend, and other Cantonese and Peking dishes the rest of the time.

At first, their prices surprised me, with most main dishes being £2-£3 above many other restaurants. Part of it probably comes from the fine plates and dishes they serve it on as well as their large spacious dining room. The other part probably comes with the small little things that come out of the ordinary like the plate of coated peanuts while you peruse the menu, the small plate of char xiu while you wait and the fruit plate at the end of the night. Fortunately they still only charge 10% unlike many other places who would either use it as an excuse to bump up their service charge, or automatically add it as side dishes to the final bill.

My meal was simple, with a small bowl of wonton soup followed by prawn chow mein. The soup had three or four large meaty dumplings in a salty, flavourful broth. It was a good start to the meal although the noodle dish really disappointed. It looked impressive, with six large prawns nestled on top of a bed of crispy noodles and accompanied by brightly coloured Chinese greens. Unfortunately the crispy noodle was just too crispy and the sauce that came with it was too watery to the point it was just disappointly flavourless.

Although this restaurant sits on the pricey side of London Chinese places, I’d be tempted to return to the lobster and crab special they have right now (£14 and £10 respectively) on Monday through to Thursday evenings.
