As of September 2010 the premises are occupied by another Chinese restaurant <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/5026990925/ photo]</small> called Hong Kong Fusion or HK Fusion (or &#28207;&#24335;&#23567;&#24282; in Chinese), which is either the second branch or the new home of [http://www.hkfusion.co.uk/ HK Fusion on Burleigh Street].
[[Big Buddha]] Thai restaurant is upstairs, and I think run by the same people. It's essentially a tourist trap. The decor is awful, the service is painfully slow and the waiters don't know anything of the menu. Yet service charge is not optional and it's 10%!! Be prepared to pay some £50 (for two, without wine) for some mediocre Chinese food you can get in china town London for £5 each.

An anonymous commenter (January 2010) describes it as "mediocre", "overpriced", and "essentially a tourist trap". Our anonymous friend also claims that "the decor is awful, the service is painfully slow and the waiters don't know anything of the menu", and complains that the 10% service charge isn't optional. However, Anonymous does also provide us with the useful factual information that dinner for two without wine would be around &pound;50.
