Modern Chinese restaurant between Euston and King's Cross. Apparently they specialise in dim sum, but they do a lot of other Chinese dishes as well.

Visited on 2004-09-17. On this Friday night, our party of seven was one of two groups in the place. I hope they do better business at other times, because the food was superb. The waiters were a little pushy, but I think that's part of the style of places like this; certainly their recommendation (that we each get different set meals and share) was a good one, and they weren't excessively annoying.

Two of us went for the vegetarian set meal and very much enjoyed it.

Background music, but not loud.
