| - If you're a fan of dim sum, this is the place to be. This is one of the few places in Cleveland that serves this Cantonese food, but this is the best place by far compared to the other ones.
On weekends, the place is usually packed with Asians from all over the greater Cleveland area. However, seating is usually not a problem as this is a fairly large restaurant.
Their dim sum selection features over 40+ items, ranging from the usual shrimp dumplings (har gow), pork dumping (siu mai), congee, to beef tendons and chicken feet (you should definitely try this, its tastier than it sounds!). The dim sum is served from carts that are pushed around the restaurant. Each cart has a different selection of dim sum dishes. You stop a cart and you make your selection. The dishes are tallied on the check. The dim sum is fresh and is made daily, but selection and freshness is definitely better on the weekends since its busier and more batches are made. My favorite dim sum dishes include the shrimp and pork dumplings, pork & egg congee, chicken feet, beef tendons, stuff eggplants, shrimp rice crepes, and to finish off with egg tart custards and/or sweet soy bean pudding.
During dim sum, you don't really have a dedicated server. You can flag down any one of the servers to get what you want. Some server's are better with English than others, so communications can be an issue for non Chinese speakers. However, they do have a menu featuring pictures of the dim sum dishes which you can select and will be brought to your table.
My only advice for first time dim sum goers is to be open minded and try what smells and looks good!
