Coming from Boston, where the Chinatown is small and dim sum options are extremely limited, this place was as good as dim sum gets to me. I was in awe of everything from the elegant European interior to the silverware to the delicious food. While things are on the pricey side, I have to say that the increase in quality is worth it! This was definitely all in all a memorable experience. I love how big the shrimp dumplings are - as well as the shrimp contained within. Definitely a must-order!
Honestly... (and I have to devote a whole paragraph to this message) what made this a truly 5 star experience was the fact that the sesame ball pastries served here have BLACK SESAME filling. I don't know about you, but I find black sesame paste to be 23498X superior to red bean paste, especially since most places will serve the typical sesame balls with red bean filling. Can I just say - when I bit into the crispy exterior expecting the trite taste of red bean but instead tasted sweet, fragrant black sesame, I was euphoric. It truly consolidated this 5 star review for me.
If nothing else - after reading this review, you know that you've got to order the sesame balls.
