| - Oh yay, a new dim sum place in the CLE!
A lot of their dim sum food is on display in the center of the restaurant. To order, you go to the center display and point to what you want, or you pick from the menu. I wasn't really a fan of this. There isn't much at the center display, and then you need to dig through the menu to try to figure out what it is you want. They said they didn't have carts because kids would try to grab things off of the carts... but I think kids can just as easily grab things off of the center display too?
The food here, I would say, is pretty comparable to that other dim sum place about five blocks away. Some things they do better (their egg tarts, for instance), and some things not as well (their rice noodle rolls). One plus is that they do seem to put a bit more care into the preparation and appearance of their food. In terms of variety, overall, it is okay. They have all of your basic dim sum dishes - that is, ha gao/xia jiao (shrimp dumplings), siu mai/shao mai and whatnot , but the other restaurant does have some extra pickings, such as mussels and salt&pepper shrimp.
Not bad overall, but I think I will still mostly opt for the other place.
