A new Chinese restaurant is set to open up in the St Werburghs area of Bristol. The restaurant would be located at 105-107B Mina Road and would offer dim sum dishes throughout the day.

During the evenings, a variety of dim sum small plates will be available alongside a selection of wine, beer and cider. The application for a Premises Licence notes that the restaurant wants to sell alcohol for consumption both on and off the premises, as well as by way of delivery. It has also applied for permission to sell alcohol for all of its opening hours.
