BlackBook "Celeb Cantonese redux: London's second Hakkasan holds it down a soybean's throw from Berkeley Square, remains the It place for upscale dim sum with a side of Kanye."
Gayot15.0
"Dim sum is topnotch; try Chinese chive dumplings and light, fresh prawns and scallop parcels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A very expensive modern Chinese restaurant, but one that has had no problems filling its tables from day one."
Rough Guide "Very swanky, atmospheric designer restaurant with a long, fashionably crammed cocktail bar attached."
