I wish I knew a little more about dim sum and the names and ingredients of the entrees that fill the carts. I feel ridiculous for pointing and asking, "What's that?" only to be responded to in limited english.
The up side is that I end up trying new things and just taking what looks good. Luckily for me almost everything I picked was really tasty.
I have been out for dim sum before but I don't remember the names of things.
My fam and I came in for dim sum after catching an early movie on Sunday morning. We were seated quickly which was surprising considering the place was packed AND we were a party of six.
These things were great: shrimp dumplings, garlic shrimp dumplings, bean curd wraps, steamed pork buns (X100), shrimp balls and shrimp egg rolls. Apparently we chose a lot of shrimp.
I was hoping they'd bring around the bbq pork chow mein noodles but they never did. I did see people with them at their tables so I know they must have been on a cart somewhere.
The negatives included: Our table had no chili oil, since we were seated at the back it was hard for the carts to get to us, a tad crowded, not enough rotation of carts coming around.
All that aside, this is the third or fourth time I've been here and I probably will be back. I left very full and satisfied.
