| Pub near Sadler's Wells in [[Locale Clerkenwell|Clerkenwell]]. |
Used to be a pub serving dim sum; now closed and turned into [[Old Gringo, EC1R 4RQ]], a pub serving Mexican food. |

Unusually for a pub, it serves dim sum. It spent some time serving Mexican food instead (and hence had a brief change of name to Old Gringo), but as of 2009 it's back to the dim sum. It was in the 2007 Good Beer Guide, and according to the BITE comments linked below it still does real ale. |

[[bob]] visited prior to all this upheaval, at lunchtime in March 2007. The beer was relatively decent. They had Asahi on draft as well as the real ales. The dim sum was pretty good if not a little bit expensive compared to other places. Some of this is explained by the portions being made of four things instead of three and indeed by it not being the [[New World, W1D 5PA|New World]]. I was quite full after having spent about £20. Food was ordered at the bar, via a form which I filled in with the number of each dish I wanted. The decor was quite sparse, with funny wooden tables and chairs (according to the Fancyapint review linked below, as of 2009 these are no more). |
