The unique selling point of this pub used to be that it served dim sum, though as of June 2011 this is on hold according to the Pubs Galore comments linked below. It spent some time serving Mexican food instead (and hence had a brief change of name to Old Gringo), but switched back to dim sum some time around 2009. It was in the 2007 Good Beer Guide, and according to the abovementioned Pubs Galore comments it still does real ale. |

Pub near Sadler's Wells in Clerkenwell.
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. 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).
