J Restaurant (Chinese with dim sum and
sushi) A simple name, the J Restaurant is largely Chinese with the added bonus of having sushi on the menu! This is by no means a bad thing, in fact, it's really quite a good idea. Dim sum is also available - these are light dishes (a bit like Spanish tapas) that are ordered to share. With a lavish interior and a wide range of food, the J is worth checking out. |
