Went for dim sum yesterday (my first time) for lunch and it sure was a different experience. The restaurant was extremely busy but we still managed to get a table right away.
The first thing I was confused about was how it worked. I saw carts of food all around but only later realized thats how they serve you. Also, I had absolutely no idea how pricing worked for this and had to ask a waiter. Even after that I wasn't sure as most of them can't speak English so it was hard to communicate.
The food itself wasn't bad. It tasted pretty decent but I wasnt impressed with anything, just satisfied. We tried a few things (including chicken feet) which was an interesting experience. The spices on the chicken feet tasted good, but there was almost no meat on it (I guess that is expected but when I looked at the dish it looked more meaty). I wish they had like another chicken dish with the spices they marinated and cooked the feet in.
Overall, the experience was something new to me but the food doesn't leave me wanting more. I was drinking water like crazy for the next 3 hours after as the meal left me extremely thirsty (MSG?)
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone unless you really want to try traditional dim sum once.
