| - So I haven't had dim sum in a while and the only place I had tried in Vegas prior to HK was Ping Pang Pong, which was as far as I can remember, decent but nothing extremely WOW. I'm no super expert on dim sum but being from the Bay Area and eating at many of the places there like Yank Sing, I'd like to think I know at least a bit.
First of all, I'm used to there being a wait. I don't know why but no matter what place you went to in the Bay Area, there was ALWAYS a line. Especially on Sunday. The place was fairly full but thankfully there was a table open for myself and 2 others ready to go! Just be aware that the girl behind the front counter is more there to ring you out at the end of the meal than to greet/seat you. We waited for a few beats before someone came and got us.
Service was good, the carts stopped often, gracefully passed us when it looked like our table was pretty full already, stopped when we asked and we had people clearing plates/filling drinks/asking if things were okay. Our drink orders were taken as soon as we sat down and came out promptly. Just beware, they serve their tea HOT. You may want to wait for it to cool down a bit and pouring from the side instead of straight ahead helps. Our tablecloth still got a bit wet in the process though.
Everything tasted pretty on point, though I was sad they didn't seem to have any xiaolongbao, and to me, had just enough oil to help my cousin with his hangover, lol! We had:
1 kai lan/Chinese broccoli
1 har cheung/shrimp noodle rolls
2 har gow/shrimp dumplings
2 siu mai/pork & shrimp dumplings
1 lohr bahk go/pan fried turnip cake
1 daan taat/egg tart
1 bo luo bao/pineapple custard bun
And one dish stood out to me because I don't ever remember seeing it at any other places. and if I have and just didn't order it before, well shame on me because I've been missing out! It's basically like a sesame ball but it's filled with char siu instead of red bean paste, only the bottom has sesame seeds and it's mostly steamed with only the bottom being pan fried a bit. It's then covered with green onions and just tasted DIVINE! It's a bit funny getting through the mochi exterior but as it's fairly plain flavored, it compliments the sweetie and meaty taste of the char siu well. Both my cousin and I were really happy with it!
All together, was $55 before tip. Not bad, if you ask me! Overall, a very solid dim sum place! Took home what we couldn't finish and am happy to have leftovers for later! Will happily come back again and share this place with others!
