Jasmine Review

This cavernous, Hong Kong-style establishment seats no fewer than 400 people; even so, there are frequently lines outside at lunchtime on weekends, when groups arrive to enjoy fragrant soups, steaming noodles, and dim sum from carts that constantly circle the room. At dinner it's a hard choice between the seafood from the wall-mounted tanks and "Peking duck two ways"—the crisp skin sandwiched in tasty buns as a first course, the meat deliciously stir-fried for a savory follow-up. A supplementary menu of "special-priced dishes" offers bargains like half of a roasted chicken for $7.50. At times servers can be somewhat abrupt.
