This is THE Dim Sum place to go!
Sunday is traditionally when families would get together and go out for dim sum so this place get packed pretty fast but since it is HUGE you are sure to get a table. Dim sum always starts about 10AM and ends at 3PM so if you go later in the morning/afternoon, be prepared to wait for about an hour to taste these succulent morsels of ancient goodness!
This place has been around for decades and I used to come here as a child with family and have been familiarized with the food and the way things go here. You are seated at a large round table (if you are less than 10 people, you will be sat with strangers and share a table) and tea pots are brought over along with a table card. Busboys and Captains equip with walkie talkies bustle about keeping the tables turning for new diners as the ladies walk by pushing carts each offering different delicacies. One cart will be steamed offerings from shu mai, har gow, steamed buns, and juicy steamed meatballs (pork, beef, or fish). Another cart will have kitchen delicacies such as braised chicken feet, broad rice noodles, spare ribs, and tofu skins stuff with minced meat. Fried treats adorn another cart and of course the dessert cart will come by.
NOTE: If you are a shy person, you will miss all the treats as these ladies will go from table to table announcing the offering on their cart. You have to be slightly aggressive and point to what you'd like. Many of the ladies do speak a smattering of English but having a Chinese speaking friend at your table will help. If there is something that you want and do not see it on their cart, ASK!!! They are more than willing to help you. If the lady you speak with doesn't understand you, ask a Captain who often is more fluent in English and is snazzily dressed (usually with a red or black jacket on).
These are Chinese delicacies mind you and non-Asians might think them odd or strange but that is the point when you try different foods from other cultures. If you go late after 12 Noon you will get the sub par service/dishes as these other reviewers seem to experience as the kitchen stops making the dim sum and the staff is getting ready to prepare for dinner service. The staff works from early morning to late night (usually over 12 hours) so give them a break!
TIP: There is a long table of chafing dishes and griddles that offer clams in black bean sauce, turnip cakes (my favorite!), sauteed bok choy, brasied gailan (Chinese broccoli), and other goodies towards the back wall when you first enter. Bring your table's card with you as they stamp the dishes on the card denoting the price of each dish.
I have never had a bad experience here and have brought many friends here who have also enjoyed this bit of Cantonese Chinese culture.
And here I thought things got crazy on Sunday for dim sum in Atlanta... this place just completely shattered everything I knew about the world of dim sum.
1. ARRIVE EARLY.
2. Expect to arrive early and still need to take a number. You'll probably get number, oh say 100. They're just now calling number 25.
3. When it's your turn to finally be seated, be amazed at the escalator ride. Royal treatment!
4. Suck it in. You'll be darting between two tables so close together you'll wonder if the place is a ticking time bomb for a fire disaster.
5. Sit down and order some tasty grub from the zillions of carts going around!
6. Don't be scared of the chicken feet. Or do be scared. Your call.
If you can get into this place and eat your fill, it's so worth it. If you can't, guess you better try arriving at 10am next time, not 10:15. Good luck!
To say that this place is an "experience" is putting it lightly. I adore coming here for dim sum brunch, but you better have your game face on and be prepared. (This was my first proper dim sum, so realize this review is coming from a Chinatown noob.)
Tips:
Come here early... if you're a late bruncher, you may be passive agressively cut off from service at 3pm.
Stick with the steamed stuff - at least for our table, the fried items we tried were cold by the time they got to our table.
Dumplings are delightful!
Bring an empty stomach and cash - I've eaten here for anywhere from $10-15 and am always STUFFED. It's a great family style meal that runs super cheap!
in the extremely claustrophobic land that is chinatown, i am glad to find THE GRANDEUR OF AN ELEVATOR RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!
i love jing fong. their dim sum is good!
i also have this weird fantasy that the dragon lady will come out of this huge banquet hall and all the chattering chopsticks will suddenly come to a halt and revere in the presence that is the dragon lady.
I've been here several times whenever friends have come into town.
-Always a long wait to get a table. 30 min - 1 hour average wait time
-Frequently out of dim sum foods
-Does serve my favorites of mini egg tarts, shao mai, beef noodles, custard bun, mango pudding (not good-do not order...reminds me of play-doh), rice tamale, pie good,
-They have a strange vegetable station. The only thing I like from that station is the fried turnip cake.
-I'd really like to find another dim sum place to go to rather than this one which is impressive only for its large space....
Who doesn't like dim sum!? Tell me. Who? When my friend in NY recommended we have Dim Sum on the day of my arrival (although I had just come from a city full of dim sum as well), I did not hesitate to express my enthusiam for a nice late lunch at Jing Fong.
And not surprisingly, the dim sum was good. It was a big lounge similar to what they have in those huge dim sum spots where the carts roll through and yell out some random foods in canto. I love the little station they got with the awesome choy sums, fried shark fin dumpling, taro/turnip cake, and beef haslet. That so reminds me of HK. Unfortunately, the bay doesn't use this style very much. I think all the food was great, and yes I do like my choy sum, especially if its much tastier here for some reason. And even better, it comes down to less than $15 per person for a nice filling meal.
It's been about 5 years since my last visit to Jing Fong. The last time, it was mediocre, but passable. This time, it was unforgivably worse.
We were in Chinatown when I learned my roommate had never tried dim sum before, so I brought him to Jing Fong as I remembered it as kind of a benchmark for the traditional big-room dim sum experience. Even if I expected the food to be only average, I hoped my roommate would enjoy the experience overall...
---
In a nutshell: It was shit. Do not waste your time here.
I arrived at 10:30am, so I had high hopes for fresher cart service as it was so early in the day. Unfortunately, we tried about 6 or 7 dishes before we had to just throw in the towel and save the rest of our appetite for another restaurant, that's how bad it was. Every dish was invariably stale, cold, and tasteless. It was remarkable how consistent all the food was in its shittiness. It's as if there was some perverted reverse quality-control system in place. The beef tripe was bland and overly chewy. The sweet bread wasn't creamy or sweet enough. The chicken feet was this off-orange color that gave me the creeps. Even the sticky rice was too dry. How can you fuck up sticky rice?
Come to think of it, Jing Fong has usurped a New Jersey establishment for title of worst-dimsum-ever. It has a rightful place in Chinatown dim-sum history, but it's now an aging beast that needs to be put out of its misey.
Jing Fong gets two stars. That's an extra star above the lowest rating as I didn't get sick from any of the food, and the escalator was functioning, which saved me a few dozen joules going up and down the stairs.
edit: A friend went the following weekend around noontime, and said that the food was much fresher, although they agreed on the lack of selection and blandness of some dishes. I knew that going late was a bad idea, but I never thought I'd be punished for being early...
Itz only huge... really nothing much other than that
Pros: Good dim sum. Good selection.
Cons: Because of the size of the restaurant, the food was often lukewarm/cold by the time the carts came by our table.
It's an okay place for dim sum in Chinatown, but it can't compare with any of the big dim sum places in Flushing (ie Ocean Jewel, Jade). The selection is not as good and the food is not as well prepared, but it'll do if you want to stay on the island.
They have the usual selection of dimsum items, including pork buns, lotus paste buns, congee, etc but it's very hit or miss. I've been there on days when they were decent and on days when the buns were cold and mushy.
This restaurant is good; however, you need to be in the mind frame to come here. I'll admit that I had no idea what Dim Sum was and how it would be delivered to you; however, when I made my way to 20 Elizabeth and realized I would be going up a long escalator with nothing but chandeliers to look at - I knew I was in for an experience.
It was my friends brunch for her birthday and I didn't get there until a half hour later. After getting off the escalator, I thought I would walk around and find our group - bad idea! This place is huge with tons of tables people getting up from and finding their tables and did I forget to mention - lots of carts everywhere! It was overwhelming to see so much going on and thankfully I just texted that I was there.
With 8 people meeting for brunch, I'm glad most of us knew each other as I found myself looking at the carts as they came by. They didn't stop as they approached you, you had to let them know. I really felt that I was hunting for food and since I wasn't familiar with the items, I had no idea what I was asking for!
Although I was overwhelmed and out of my element - the food was good, they were efficient and there were people walking with jackets who were able to help you get extra napkins, a certain dish that you hadn't managed to flag down and more. It was a lot of fun once you realized that this was an interactive experience.
Is this first date material? Unless you know your date is ok with it, I would say no but is it fun when you're in that mindset and/or you have a large group - absolutely. 8 of us ate and we put in $16 a piece and we were so full - such a good value!
Jing Fong is a member of what I call the "Big 2" of Chinatown dim sum restaurants, the other being Golden Bridge Restaurant. Jing Fong opened, as I recall in the early 1990's during a period where a new wave of Hong Kong style dim sum restaurants gradually replaced smaller old-style Chinatown restaurants.
Jing Fong's legendary huge single dining room is it's most impressive feature. Seating is not too tight and there is a reasonable amount of space between the tables. Large groups are easily accommodated. As for smaller parties, expect to share tables as there are very few small tables.
The dim sum is totally acceptable and reliable without going into too much detail. The variety is good here although nothing stands out as being exceptional. Jing Fong is alright!
Here's my verdict, this place is great for big parties. The only negative to Jing Fong is that it may take some time for dim sum carts to come around due to the size of the dining room. At one stretch in a recent visit, we waited 15 minutes for a cart to come by.
Jing Fong's dim sum isn't one of the most original traditional dim sum. the place is huge, but the service and dim sum sucks.
The dim sum style is more americanized and if you are looking for traditional dim sum. this ISNT THE PLACE..
It seems they try to rush you through everything. I don't like it at all
Where I go for Dim-Sum...
The ambience is great, with the hustle and bustle of the carts, the clanking of the pots, the melody of chatter from all the conversations at this Banquet Hall restaurant - the ideal experience for this Chinese delicacy.
The food is great; I love the chicken feet, which are always perfect, the steamed or baked pork buns, any of the great dumplings and the sticky rice - Oh the sticky rice. Whether wrapped in a lotus leaf or served on a plate, the yummy ness is too much too handle.
I love grabbing my ticket, heading over to the tables set-up in the back-wall to grab some extra delights. I hand over the ticket, have one of the nice ladies stamp it and off I go happy with my tripe or snails.
Very rarely have I encountered any issues with the escalator that takes you up when you arrive and leads you away upon departing. The waiter staff is generally courteous. Heck, I'm not Asian, so, don't speak Chinese, so I'm sure when they see me its like, "Oh boy...," but its always been pleasant and enjoyable, whether I go by myself or with friends.
We ate so much and it came out to $10 per person, which is a great deal! They have pretty much the same things you can get anywhere else. We were seated in a hidden corner and I thought we would never be able to get any food, but the ladies actually rolled their carts out to the boondocks and fed me (not literally, because that would be really creepy)!
We got seats immediately on a saturday afternoon.
Thumbs up for service. Generic food, but it's dimsum -- you gotta love it!
Sure I lived in China for a year, but I know absolutely NOTHING about Dim Sum. Hell, I've never even had a good Dim Sum experience. When I went to Hong Kong, I missed out on an alleged amazing Dim Sum experience guided by one of my friends who was originally from Hong Kong. Instead, I waited at the American Consulate trying to get my visa renewed, and trying not to puke all over the place thanks to a very Hong Kong hangover.
The next day, we went to a different Dim Sum joint, and while my Hong Kong buddy wasn't able to join us, a visiting friend who had the amazing Dim Sum the day before said that he'd be able to lead the way in our culinary adventure.
Incorrect. It was bland at best, and disgusting at worst.
So that, in far too many words, sums up my history with Dim Sum. So you'll understand that I wasn't too excited to revisit the cuisine any time soon. But my friends insisted, and we went to the ENORMOUS Jing Fong Restaurant in Chinatown. No joke people, this place is like the Javitz Center of restaurants.
The food was a lot better than my Hong Kong experience, but it never really blew my mind and made me stand up and take notice. My friends took controll of the ordering and the grabbing off of carts, and I can honestly say I had no idea what was going on. I ate whatever was put in front of me, and for the most part it was good. But not good enough for me to invest brain space in learning what I was eating.
I'd come back if I was in a big group excited for some Dim Sum, but I wouldn't seek it out on my own.
The escalators leading into the restaurant had a horrible smell!
However, the char siu sau made up for it. Oh.My.God. Char siu inside buttery, flaky puff pastry. Buttery, porky, little pockets of heaven. I want more of these already!
The long steam table is pretty awesome. Unfortunately 3/4 of my pork dumplings were a little too crispy on the bottom, otherwise they were delicious and oh so gingery.
Be sure to chase down a cart if one hasn't come around for a while.
Welcome to one of many tourist traps in Manhattan! This place used to be great, but now it's overpriced and serves tasteless dim sum. The ha gao's shrimp was unfresh and brimmy. All the dim sum flavors were off in some strange way. If anything, the owners are trying to increase their profit margins by serving old, tasteless dishes.
Be ready to pay too much and leave unsatisified. Mind the large packs of tourists loading off buses and into the restaurant
This place probably isn't the best idea if you don't have at least one (non-twinkie) Chinese person with you (aka not me). But man, it's so good. Go for dim sum, they rip it up at affordable prices.
I've been a few times with my family, and I look forward to my next visit. Very good shrimp dumplings, excellent chicken or beef chow mein (the kind with yellow pan fried noodles, not the dry sticks). And I know my chicken chow mein, I've had it probably 500 times since I was a kid.
This place is massive. A sea of tables, writhing with rude chinese people (welcome to chinatown). Look, I'm not racist. I may be self-hating, but I'm also right. These people are crazy. The tons of asian people is also how you know the place is good. If you see a chinese restaurant with no chinese people eating there, keep on walking.
In addition to the dim sum carts, they also have a station with some chaffing dishes full of various odds and ends, like snails or chinese greens. Steel yourself if you get in line, because crazy asians *will* try to butt in front of you. And when I say steel yourself, I mean bring weapons. Fight for the last of the u-toy greens!
Okay this is the place I would go on occasions for dim sum, my mom mentions that this place has chefs specifically from Hong Kong. This place gets very very packed for dim sum during the weekend, so come early.
In the middle of the room are specialize dim sum that the customers themselves go to order. While the prices are not really good if you're looking for a bargain, do try out this place.
Also if you are allergic to some foods, watch some caution around the foods in this place.
This is also one of the few places in Chinatown to have an elevator and escalator.
So many things to write here. My cousin had her wedding here and I've been here a million times for Dim Sum. The Dim Sum is a hit or miss. I always crave turnip cake and rice noodles with shrimp and half the time they don't have the turnip cake. For those that aren't familiar with dim sum, it's a dining experience and you usually go with your family and friends to relax, you see a lot of people reading the newspaper, taking their time and eating tea. You sit (possibly with some people that aren't in your party) and wait for the ladies who are pushing carts with food. You can choose what you want and they'll stamp a card for you. At the end, a waiter will add up all the stamps with a total.
There's also a long table up front with food and you can go up with your card and ask for what you want and they will stamp it. Sometimes they have eggplant with shrimp which is really fantastic. Sometimes they have mussels, noodles etc.
Jing Fong outside of dim sum is ok. They have standard dishes with nothing that really stands out.
I have been coming to Jing Fong for years and years.. Sometimes it's good, some years it's bad.. I think we are an upcycle right now.. I went there on a rainy Saturday at like 10 in the morning. It was empty, meaning there might have been only 150 people there..
Everything we got was hot and fresh. We ordered scallion dumplings, we ordered steamed spareribs over rice cakes which was sick! A couple of other dishes, nothing too outrageous..
The food was hot, the service was "friendly", we spent a half hour nursing our hangovers and eating dim sum. It was 18 bucks.
Jing Fing is the mother of all Dim Sum places! With a dining room that seats 600, this is dim sum on a massive scale. You'll feel like you're in Beijing!
We really enjoyed our lunch. Though we had to sit at the table with two other couples (due to the crowd), we had a great experience.
The menu is pretty standard fare. We particularly enjoyed the steamed shrimp dumplings and steamed pork buns. Excellent!
As with most of these restaurants, the service was nothing to write home about, but we were very satisfied with the prices (dishes ranged in price from $2.50 to &5.50).
We'll definitely be back!
This was actually my very first experience to Dim Sum. I spent a pretty penny on this place trying a ton of different things, and I just wasn't impressed about any of it. Obviously, ethnic food requires some experience. Having said that the tripe didn't phase me, but it didn't taste very good either. There was some that were OK, some that were blah, but nothing that was that great. To its defense, though, I went pretty late (like 2pm-ish) and my friend said that they'd have much more selection if we came earlier.
I CANNOT believe how low the rating is for my beloved Jing Fong! This is THE place I bring people when we do dim sum! It's the biggest, baddest, bestest dim sum place in NYC! It kind of reminds me of a casino, with its gaudy neon lights, and enormous ballroom-like setting. The clanging of dishes and silverware is reminiscent of dropping coins from a slot machine. (Maybe not? Okay.) You must wait patiently downstairs, in a stinky mob of people, until the two ladies downstairs call your number in English and Cantonese. People who have been waiting for 30 whole minutes cheer when they hear their number. When it's your turn, you ascend the escalator to dim sum heaven--the casino where the prize is amazing food. Or maybe it's hell, because the sin is gluttony, not greed. Maybe it's actually both, because I'll be damned if you can find another place where you can stuff your face with such a variety of food for around $10/person. Okay, so I may be taking this analogy a bit too far. But I seriously love this place. It's crazy. And kind of confusing. Just remember:
(1) It's okay to bring your ticket and walk up to the circulating carts to get something. If you sit around waiting for the cart to come to you, chances are, you'll never experience the ecstasy!
(2) Don't neglect the walk-up food table near the restrooms.
(3) If you have fewer than 10 people in your party, be prepared to share a table. Do not be scared!
(4) You have to get the guys in the red vests to tally up your check before you bring it up to the register, labelled "Cashier".
(5) SHRIMP DUMPLINGS and GINGER SYRUP TOFU DESSERT.
(6) If you can manage to get out of bed before noon after your escapades from the Saturday night prior, try to get there around 11:30 or 12. After that, the crowd gets pretty unmanageable.
(7) If you can, try to nab at least one person who knows the ropes of dim sum. It seems like this place would be gross and intimidating without one.
Good luck, soldiers!
Do yourself a favor and please don't come here. I bit into my ha gow (shrimp dumpling) and found three or four pieces of short hair in it. I literally almost puked. That's why I always tell people when dimsum-ing in places like this, do NOT eat the dumpling whole!
I've had good experiences here, I've had bad experiences here. So basically, this place is hit or miss.
Some of the hits:
1. The prices. It's pretty cheap. I've never paid more than $15 for dim sum here.
2. The variety. They have a lot of different kinds of dim sum and there's never a lack of carts.
3. Their bathrooms aren't vomit-inducing disgusting. In fact, they usually have someone in there cleaning.
Some of the misses:
1. While there is usually good variety, the last time I was there, we waited over an HOUR for siu mai and it NEVER came out. How does a massive dim sum place run out of siu mai? That's a dim sum standard!
2. The quality of the dim sum varies. The last time I was here, the fong jow (chicken feet) were really chewy instead of fall of the bone tender.
3. The ladies pushing the carts really hawk their goods aggressively.
Overall, I'd say Golden Unicorn has better food, but of course their service sucks. I guess I'm still on a quest for great dim sum in Manhattan!
The dim sum here has been good almost everytime I've visited NY. I love dim sum and have eaten it at many many restaurants so I feel like my palette knows good from bad. The chicken feet are amazing! the shrimp rice rolls, the pork shumai, the cruellers wrapped in rice rolls, the taro (which I usually dont love), and the beef tripe are all amazing.
I also love going with different groups of friends because someone always happens to order something that I usually don't. The rice and meat wrapped in the banana leaf (or maybe grape leaf) is pretty damn good and of course the pork buns and egg tarts are great. I always look forward to coming to NY for dimsum.
If you are in Chinatown looking for this dim sum restaurant, and you see a gigantic escalator -- you are in the right place.
The place itself is very crowded, and the dining area is, again, gigantic. Perfect for groups of people. Luckily, they have enough service staff to serve you, and enough dim sum carts going around to make sure you are well-fed.
Jing Fong Restaurant meets all the standards of Chinese dim sum dishes with all the variety and quality it has to offer. As for dessert, make sure to request the egg custard dish, early! Bc the egg custard will run-out pretty fast! Enjoy!
I'm sure there is better dim sum out there, but for sheer shock value, I bring all my out of town friends here. Between the microphone and walkie-talkie chaos while you wait to have your number called to be seated, to the massive palatial dining hall, it's hard not to impress those who have yet to be indoctrinated into the world of dim sum. never have I eaten here and paid more than $12 (including the tip) and we are talking hours worth of food.
Must haves: sticky rice (comes upside down in a little glass bowl), transparent shrimp dumplings, the beef rolled in the flat noodles, and the taro cake at the steam table. Make sure you get the taro cake well done.
And be brave...take your ticket and chase down the dishes you want, before they run out of it.
After trying so many other bad/mediocre places, my friends told me Jing Fong is where I need to meet them for good-ish dim sum. I call this experience just another fail blog from a NorCal asian trying to find authentic or even decent dim sum.
Let's break it down...
1) NO SHU MAI OR HAI GAO!!!!!!!!
2) Tough gai gek
3) Ok...good hom sui gok and char sui bao
I think I'm trying Flushing next. Chinatown is a bust.
PROS: This was my first real dim sum experience (yes, don't laugh please). The food was delicious and it was sooo cheap (maybe I'm so used to paying $15-20 for asian foods). The restaurant was packed and luckily we got there early for dim sum. When we left.. there was a line that was out the door!
CONS: due to being so busy.. took forever to get food. one of my friends decided to just go find the carts and bring the dim sum paper with her.
Dim sum was great and in my opinion.. dim sum is the most fun with a large group of people.. order lots of stuff.. try different things.. split the bill. fun!
Love the atmosphere, but the food is fine. They do have a great variety of dim sum, but if you "know" dim sum, you will be disappointed at half of them. I seriously would recommend that you avoid having their radish cake (and other dishes that seem common and easy to make), it was absolutely disgusting when I had it. Jing Fong is no doubt a restaurant for white folks
Not impressed.
Im still on a search to find a great dim sum place in new york chinatown.
The food wasn't bad, but the selection is not as vast as I'm use to, not as fresh, and not as tasty.
I went here the night before as well for dinner which was okay. I'd might show up again and they had some dinner special menu where every plate there was some set cheap amount? We had peking duck and since it was my first time having it. it was tasty! I mean, you can't go too wrong with crispy, fatty, skin of duck. We had the fried tofu with the little shrimp in the middle and prawns with mayo and broccoli. Not bad, but still...I've had better. New York, IMPRESS ME!
This seems like *the* place to go for dim sum if you've got a big group. You may have to wait and be stuck crammed into the downstairs area or out on the sidewalk for a while, but they have enough space to handle your group eventually. Know that you have tasty alternatives nearby, so if you're smaller in number, I think it's worthwhile to do your research and try out some other Chinatown destinations.
As with most dim sum, it helps to have someone who speaks Cantonese. As someone lacking that capacity, I don't know if I would bring a group here myself. You can't count on everything you want to make it to your table. To get all of our desired munchies, we've always had to talk with the servers or go find it ourselves. But all the basics and most of the less-popular dishes will make their way around.
The food itself is definitely tasty, and you can get a lot of it with great bang for your buck. I'm not always sure what I'm eating, but there isn't anything not worth trying in small, dumpling-sized portions. I hope you like shrimp, because it finds its way into many of the dishes. And check your water for flies, but otherwise enjoy!
I love this place because they have the best dim sum selection of all the places I've been to. It's a little chaotic with all the people running around, but you can't have dim sum without experiencing a little chaos. The servers aren't exactly friendly, and sometimes it's kind of hard to get a glass or water or that bottle of soy sauce, but I'm willing to ignore that simply because the food is good and very cheap.
My favorites: shrimp dumplings and turnip cakes
This place was disgusting. I had no idea what I was eating and the cart pushers couldn't speak enough english to tell me what the items were. I don't need a full description, but is it chicken, or chicken intestine?!?! Blech!!
I've been coming to this place FOREVER. They've always been good to me, and I believe my family knows some people that work here so we always have a good time.
Like all asian places, this place has had its health code violations, and was even closed down for a while. But I don't have problem with this place as they have always been consistent!
SO I have been here twice. It's yummy dim sum yes, but the buns are about half the size they are in the LA area which is what I'm used to. I dont feel like you get your money's worth here because the buns are so small, but you do get an authentic dim sum experience. It's Hong Kong style complete with carts bustling around and large tables where you may have to sit with stragners. It had all of our favorites too: shumai, ha gao (shrimp in rice noodles), lok pak gow(turnip cake), tsah shoo bao (bbq pork bun), baked tsah shoo bao, tsah shoo tsoo (bbq pork in pastry, not my fav but my BF seems to like it), meatballs, chicken buns. And the food was delicious it just was so small that it ended up being expensive for what we get. (we usually over order intentionally to bring stuff home). I want to try some other places, I was satisifed but not impressed and not this place's biggest fan.
This is the best Dim Sum I've ever had.
