Good days for dim sum: Yauatcha's kitchens have been renovated and the Soho restaurant is now back serving dim sum daily, with some new dishes coming shortly (15 Broadwick St.; 020-7494-8888). A few hundred yards away, Royal Dragon Restaurant is serving dim sum for the first time in several years, but only on weekends (30 Gerrard St.; 0207-734-1388). Further, Royal Dragon is no longer sharing a kitchen with sister restaurant and next-door neighbor Golden Dragon, where both Ang Lee and Woody Allen – who was spotted there just last week – have been known to dine (28-29 Gerrard St.; 020-7734-2763).
