| - Tai Pan is my parents go-to place for dim sum. When they were visiting last time, their friends brought them here and they enjoyed it.
Tai Pan is just off center street NE right across the street from Tire Craft in a little shopping mall called The Madison. There's a decent sized parking lot which is nice, otherwise if that's full just park on the street across the road and walk over.
We arrived Saturday just before noon and we didn't have to wait or anything. When we got seated, more and more people rolled in. We ordered tea and were handed a dim sum sheet. My mom loves ordering all the dim sum so we let her do that. There were four of us and we ordered about 8 dishes. Dim sum is great when you have more people so you can try everything.
I took a picture of most of the things we ordered, rice crepes, pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, taro/turnip/chestnut cake, bbq pork/chicken and egg yolk buns, Chinese beef balls, chicken feet, black bean spareribs, sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf, other dumplings - we ordered a nice variety.
I love dim sum anywhere so this was good - I found that the portions a little bigger than some other places as they offer four pieces of some things while some places offer three. There were a couple dishes that came with a variety instead of all the same - for example instead of having all turnip cake, one order came with turnip/taro/chestnut so it was nice to have a taste of each.
Everything was tasty and filling, service was good - no complaints here!
