| - This was some seriously delicious and also aesthetically pleasing dim sum! My disappointment at the lack of carts being pushed around was definitely forgotten as soon as I saw the fantastic outfits the servers wear, the fine china teapot that we got for our green tea and then most definitely when I got to eat the food.
Things that stand out there are the octopus (cooked perfectly, with a yummy sauce), the dumplings and also the pork buns. Also, our waitress was very helpful when we had questions regarding menu sizes/prices/options. My only disappointment was that we couldn't easily find the vegetables. There did seem to be quite a few vegetarian options, though, which was a treat for our vegetarian companion.
I can honestly say that I have never seen such an insanely ornate dining room for dim sum. Or maybe ever. Perhaps the palace of Versailles had more marble on the walls, but not by much. Who doesn't like a piece of marble, framed by more marble, on a marble wall, with marble pillars?
The only thing that wasn't as awesome was the shrimp roll that looked misleadingly like it was a normal shrimp roll, but then it had what can only be described as Miracle Whip with fruit cup fruits inside the coating. It was not the exciting surprise that I was hoping for!
I will be back. Not often because it's a bit pricey, but definitely when I want good dim sum.
