No, this isn’t a place for takeout dim sum, which would probably be a bad idea anyway. It is, however, a cool little spot at the edge of Chinatown where you can get dim sum whenever you want it, if you wake up late on the weekends (like we do) and miss the early morning brouhaha at the larger dim sum establishments such as Jing Fong or Golden Unicorn. You’ll find some of the more popular dim sum dishes including an assortment of steamed dumplings, turnip cakes, sticky rice, fried dough balls, and steamed rice crepe rolls, but they also have a full dinner menu as well. The dim sum is still the main attraction here. The dishes are prepared fresh and come out steaming hot, unlike most other places, and you pencil in your own order on a little crib sheet as soon as you sit down. The only drawback is that their dim sum is a bit more expensive than other traditional dim sum places, but if quality and convenience matter to you, then you get what you pay for. Make sure to get there before 4 PM if you’re going to order the Steamed Shrimp Rice Rolls, the crepe-like dish with sweetened soy sauce on top. As you can see from the pics below, we missed them this round.
