| Now closed; was a Chinese restaurant near [[Locale Leicester Square|Leicester Square]], in [[Locale Chinatown|Chinatown]]. As of April 2016 the windows are whitewashed over, but there's no indication of why it closed. |
Chinese restaurant near Leicester Square/Chinatown. Wide menu, and decent value for money (portions are quite large). The salt and pepper tofu is particularly good, as is the sea-spiced aubergine; I gather the meat dishes are good as well. They'll happily cook off-menu dishes for you on request. Most veggie dishes are around £5. |

You can't book, and it's popular, so you may have to wait a few minutes to get a table, but rarely more than 5 min. It's a good place for pre-theatre as they serve you fast (although don't hustle you out when you're finished if you do have more time available). |

The bubble tea (fruit tea with semolina pearls in) is well worth trying, although it is quite odd! (Isn't it tapioca rather than semolina? --Kake) Wine, beer, green tea, and various soft drinks also available.
