[[Kake]], [[Sarah]], and Lex visited for dim sum on a Wednesday lunchtime in April 2009. It was reasonably busy, but there was a table free for us, luckily quite near the front; the place goes back a fair distance and there's not much natural light at the back.

Scallop cheung fun (&pound;3) weren't bad; the scallops were good, but the wrappers were a little thick. Scallop dumplings (&pound;2.40) also had a good flavour. Vietnamese spring rolls (&pound;2.20) were nothing special. Fried turnip paste (&pound;2.10) had a good browned crust on it and a decent texture. Spicy tripe (&pound;2.10) wasn't particularly spicy, but it was certainly tasty. We were intrigued enough by the char siu croquettes (&pound;2.10) to give them a try; they turned out to be small pastries rather than actual croquettes, but they were pretty good, served warm with a generous filling of flavourful pork wrapped in a good, properly flaky pastry. (Note: prices given here may not be current &#8212; see below.)

Service was efficient; tea was brought to the table the moment we sat down, our teapot was refilled assiduously during our meal, and our food all arrived quickly. Our final bill was around &pound;14/head for more than enough food (14 dishes) plus tea. It wasn't clear whether this included a tip or not, since it wasn't itemised &#8212; but adding up the prices afterwards revealed that either they applied a 15% tip without telling us, or the prices in the menu displayed in the window <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3498730390/ photo of menu]</small> were out of date.

Accessibility: No steps to get in, and there's a lift to get you up to the toilets on the first floor. It is a little cramped inside though, with the tables fairly close together.
