Oh and I keep reading good things about this place, though I haven't been:
Chinese Experience
118 Shaftesbury Ave
London
W1D 5EP
I THINK it might do dimsum even in the evenings - I know it's heresy but it's great group food isn't it?

Is it worth trying to get into Yauatcha? Best dim sum in town! And fabulous decor. Reasonable too. I ate there a couple of times and LOVED it.
From Hardens:
Yauatcha W1 £30 per head
Broadwick Hs, 15-17 Broadwick St
“Perfect morsels” of “delectable” dim sum win “top marks” for Alan Yau’s new “designer” Soho sibling to the famed Hakkasan

Aah, my bad. Yauatcha is the one I was thinking of with dimsum all day - Chinese Experience was in my head because I'd come across a review more recently but is not the one I was thinking of.
Mind reader!

I just saw a French documentary about "dim sum appartments" in Paris where illegal Chinese people work in the grosest circumstances. The Food Inspection and Police came to arrest everybody. It was disgusting! I hope these dim sum restaurants you're mentioning have a bit higher standards

Well, I've been eating regularly in them for several years and haven't got ill or died yet... so hygiene strikes me as just fine.
And certainly in the one I eat in most often the staff are always friendly and most have been working there for years so... unless they have a separate, hidden, slumforce, I'd say working conditions are probably just fine too!

Now that it is officially autumn, I'm hoping we can reach a decision on a time and venue for our London GTG...soon.
Where I should turn up for dinner on Oct. 25th?
I will be leaving the US on Oct 10 and I don't know when/if I'll have an opportunity to pop into an internet cafe after that date.
If there are other people interested in joining us, please let us know so that the proper number of seats can be booked.
Everyone is welcome.
Kavey, David, Kate...what say you?

If we want to take advantage of offers such as those frequently displayed on toptable (50% off a la carte menu) then we need to wait till nearer the time, really.
It's a month away yet.... my instinct would be to give it another couple of weeks...?
