Har Gow.. Sui Mai. Dan Tat. And a plethora of other dishes, served steaming or sizzling straight off a cart. How this space in a strip mall manages to fill up isn't a shocker but it's definitely impressive. This is my default dim sum spot and has…More »

I brought a friend here who had never, ever had dim sum before and for her first experience, I'm sure she'd say it was a-ok. However for me... here's how I arrived at meh:
