| - A change from the roll carts, this dim sum place has you ordering your food from a bilingual order form.
On the plus side the food always arrives fresh and hot from the kitchen and it's never sold out by the time it gets to you.
Three minuses: some prefer the 'experience' of the dim sum ladies barking out the food that they're pushing; for the inexperienced dim sum lovers there's no peaking at the food before ordering it; and you have to make sure they give you all the food you've ordered. Th last one is huge. We had a total of 3 missing items (which they counted as filled) and 1 surprise dish that showed up and devoured before anybody noticed it wasn't one of the ones we ordered.
If I hadn't kept an eagle eye on what we were getting, we'd be short changed about $10 (offset by, say, $3.50 for the surprise item). Pretty hefty and led me to knocking off one star. After all, how enjoyable is the meal if one has to keep track of all the food? Boo-urns to that.
The food itself was decent, the har gow, shui mai, sticky rice, beef tripe, spare ribs in black bean sauce, mango pudding, etc and the standard dim sum fare were all tasty and piping hot, which almost compensated for the missing food. Almost.
