I do not understand the five-star reviews for this place.  True it has that dank old New York charm that people love to mourn no longer exists, but that dank oldness extends to the dim sum.  So, why the five stars, people?  The siu mai are greasy, hard blocks of pork dumped into a plate with sweet soy sauce; the har gow are stiff.  The steamed pork buns are all right, but I need more than a bun…
