A strange combination of reserved Eastern ambience, chaotic decor and funky music, this swish restaurant seems to be a little confused as to its true identity. Serving up classically prepared Chinese dishes to elegant diners, the food is served with panache amongst amusing trappings such as weeping fig trees, which umbrella the tables, and a Chinese lion, peculiarly deposited in the fountain. And the clientele hardly look like their going to get down to the cool jazz groove that live musicians play on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Still, something's obviously working because the restaurant is usually packed out. The menu offers the usual fare, from stir-fries to shredded duck pancakes, with the barbecue chicken and the potstickers being particularly good.
