Been quite awhile since I've been here, but it's similar to Hakkasan. Very good dim sum, though not necessarily traditional dim sum as most Chinese know it. There's been a bit of a spin on some of the dishes. It is VERY expensive compared to normal dim sum restaurant prices. There are other places in London that do almost as good dim sum for much less. The main problem I have with the restaurant is that they're trying to make it painfully fashionable in its decor and it can come off a bit pretentious. But I guess that happens with a lot of high end restaurants. I can see the need for a restaurant like this in NYC where the average dim sum is generally not very good, but in London there are already a few dim sum places that charge reasonable prices for quality not far off from Yauatcha. Noise levels are loud, but I guess that's authentic for a Chinese restaurant. 8)
