| - My mom and brother came to visit me and we wanted dim sum, so we went to the usual Bright Pearl. However, that place was closed for a private party, and we saw a huge sign in a restaurant across the street advertising all-day dim sum. I am so glad that we went there instead, because it was Rol San. What a pleasant surprise! This is the best dim sum I've had so far.
First of all, as many other reviewers have said, instead of the common dim sum set-up where they bring food around in carts and you take as you wish, you actually get to order what you want and they bring it to you per order. I much prefer this because the food is fresher that way and it's easier to get exactly what you want.
Second, the food was amazing! My favourite kind of dumplings are siu mai and the classic Chinese pot stickers. I have tried both in many, many restaurants before and I have to say these were the freshest and best dumplings I have ever had before. Besides the dumplings, all of the other food was freshly made and delicious. The service was also very non-Chinese friendly, especially for Chinatown.
Finally, the price was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and downtown location. The three of us paid $40 for everything, but my brother also eats a lot, i.e. probably more than most normal people.
Suggestions: siu mai, har gow, BBQ pork buns, pan-fried pork dumpling, beef short ribs, seafood dumplings, sesame rolls, and egg tarts (desserts). There's probably not much you can go wrong with! Enjoy =)
