Nottingham families who've found this place tend to keep it quiet, and the two-course lunch at around £16 a head is a big part of why. The dim sum is what people come back for — along with roast duck, steamed seabass, meaty beef curry with sensible heat, and ribs that get mentioned again and again. Portions are generous, so two children can happily share. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and buggy access, and the staff are warm with families in a room that's lively rather than hushed, which helps when a toddler is having a moment. Worth knowing: some find it pricey once the service charge lands, and roast meats can arrive underwhelming on an off day. Book at weekends. One parent simply calls it "my favourite".
