    not many dim sum options in Brighton but would say this was the best out of the lot. Lovely restaurant, ambience and great service. But pricey.

    Great food and service, very pleasant ambiance only thing to watch is the price of your meal overall - it’s certainly not a cheap option but the food is cracking!

    We had a very pleasant evening celebrating our son's engagement, so a table for four. We were up some steps on the right of the restaurant and we chose the £40 a head celebration meal. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.
