| - I came here for dim sum on a Sunday last month. Even for a restaurant of its size (not tiny), it was crowded (with locals or tourists, I couldn't tell - well, not without staring!), so do arrive early to secure a table. Unsure if they take reservations.
Service was difficult to flag over for help, but when we did attract them, they were happy enough to oblige our random requests for more hot sauce, photos (!), and, of course, more food. Speaking of the food, their dim sum plates were tasty and totally worth it:
- scallop dish was flavorful (first time I've had it too!)
- black bean spare ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender
- love the blankets
- dumplings were tasty and well-filled
- chicken feet were goooood
- tofu dessert (made in-house) was surprisingly good
Not sure about all the negative press for this place, but I had a delicious time at Cathay House. Recommended!
