Dim Sum

Dim Sum Review

This elegant jewel breaks with tradition and serves dim sum during the day and in the nighttime. The original menu goes beyond common Cantonese morsels like har gau (steamed shrimp dumplings), embracing dishes more popular in the north, including chili prawn dumplings, Beijing onion cakes, and steamed buns. Luxury dim sum items, such as siu mai topped with shark's fin and abalone dumplings are particularly popular. Lunch reservations are not taken on weekends, so there's always a long line. Arrive early, or admire the antique telephones and old Chinese posters while you wait. Even if it feels somewhat contrived, it's worth it.
