our review

Russian restaurateur Arkady Novikov has opened an ambitious new venture on Mayfair's Berkeley Street. The vast space is divided into two restaurants and a Far Eastern themed lounge bar. The Asian restaurant features an open kitchen and serves sushi and dim sum alongside dishes like spicy glazed pork belly, miso cod and king crab with Penang sauce.

what the critics say

Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - The food was not Michelin-starred in taste or pretension, but it was, by and large, tasty. It's not ruinously expensive, though not exactly cheap and cheerful, either...Braised pork belly with spicy sweet and sour glaze was honeyed and melting, and black pepper beef was just what the doctor ordered (for the patient craving Hakkasan-style pepper beef, that is). Novikov makes a virtue of choice, and the selection here is entertaining if deeply unrefined.

Friday, February 17, 2012 - The simplest way to describe what's wrong is to say you can get most of what's on the menu better and cheaper elsewhere...Unfortunately, the things you can't get anywhere else are things you don't want to eat. Pork siu mai are a happy-making thing that don't need to be improved or rarefied, just executed in the version all siu mai lovers already love. The addition of truffle is a subtraction - a costly subtraction, at 9 pounds for four small dumplings. Robata-grilled king crab leg was deeply strange.

Just been there tonight.

we stayed at Pan Asian part, food is so so, dim sum was from frozen, in fact Pan Aisian food need to be improved more. Price is ridiculously high for its value.

Soya chicken was frozen already cooked but pretended it is freshly cooked.

I always go for the food quality to any restaurant since I believe food is medicine.

This restaurant is fantastic. The food is delicious and the decor is just fabulous. The staff do fuss a bit too much. I would however return and I did enjoy it very much.
