SW REVIEW

This funky not-so-little sister of Hakkasan makes Dim Sum a specialty, much to the delight of the chic crowd who flock there almost every night of the week. Upstairs is a little more relaxed, while downstairs offers a more clubby feel, complete with a good-looking cocktail list and a good-looking tropical fish tank. A few premium items pop up on the menu should you be feeling extravagant, but its hard to argue the value of the Dim Sum dumplings and its easy to walk away feeling full for 15-20 pounds a head, and with a feeling that you have soaked up the cool atmosphere on the side for free. The whole place is built to impress and impress it does, whether you head there for business, with friends or on a date. The delicious desserts are a welcome luxury, taking their lead from the patisserie that used to feature on-site when the restaurant first opened, and still including fantastic chocolate creations and a vibrant Parisian macaroon selection.
