| - We only had dim sum here, but I would give it a 4 for dim sum.
Hai gow was a slightly wrong consistency. The dough was too thick -- it should be a nice thin layer over the shrimp, but it was more like biting into a thick piece of dough that had a shrimp in it. Tasted good still, but not quite right.
Turnip cake was great. It was made fresh for us, we ordered it and it was brought out. It was just right! Which is great, because it's one that the bf and I both like, but don't like it @ Li Wah.
Dan tat was perfectly baked, can't say anything more about it.
Ran out of gai lan, which is odd... seems like an odd thing to run out of. We always order a veggie dish with our dim sum and gai lan is the bf's fave. But we had to opt for something else that day.
There's more variety at Li Wah, and some things are better here, some things are better there. For those of you looking for the fun of grabbing things off of carts, they don't push carts here. But food is decent. It was well worth a try, and not a bad dim sum day... but I think we'll be going to the other one for our regular weekend dim sum.

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
