This tearoom and Dim Sum restaurant set up by Alan Yau is a triumph of design. The immaculately tasteful minmalism of the light and airy upstairs is matched by the perfect delicate Oriental pastries that accompany the excellent range of teas. Venture downstairs, and you'll be confromted with a sumptuously moody restaurant, all glass, neon, star-lights and tropical fish - it's like something from a William Gibson novel, or a particularly over-the-top Manga film. The Dim Sum is staggeringly original, mixing East and West in slick fusions that leave you wanting more even when you've clearly overeaten. Fortunately for your wallet, they only give you ninety minutes to eat and get out, which reduces the temptation to over-order. A masterpiece of restaurant chic, though not the most relaxing place to eat out in Soho, and certainly not the cheapest.
