It’s an ironically safe bet for a place named after a game for gamblers. A rabbit warren of intimate rooms decked out in lacquer furniture, Chinese motifs and twinkling candles draws punters in and the menu wins them over. Start with plump dumplings with a salty crab filling or roast pork belly with crisp crackling. Next try spicy XO scallops or juicy lamb, wok-fried with black beans. Cocktails maintain the Oriental theme, from lychee martinis to ginger sangria. Some dishes may strain the budget, but serves are large and perfect for sharing – especially once the complimentary edamame have been polished off.
