    Pretigeous location. Easy to find. Food delicious and there is a good variety to choose from. Some of those dishes can even be customised with your own choice of ingredients. Very friendly staff. Would definitely go again on my next visit to Brighton.

    not many dim sum options in Brighton but would say this was the best out of the lot. Lovely restaurant, ambience and great service. But pricey.

    Great food and service, very pleasant ambiance only thing to watch is the price of your meal overall - it’s certainly not a cheap option but the food is cracking!
