| - This appears to be a new dimsum place in town. Food is comparable to Li Wah's (some dishes better, some dishes worse). Decor is really nice, looks new and clean. They don't have the carts to bring you the dimsum, but you can take a look at the dishes in this big cart they have in the center of the restaurant, which is nice for people who know what they want, but don't know the names of the dishes.
What we ordered:
Hom Sui Gok: much less oily than what I've had at other dimsum places, which is good in that it leaves you feeling healthier and without a layer of oil around your face, but bad in that it makes it taste less good
Pan fried pork dumplings: Yummy with the san ji bao sauce and vinegar
Clear shrimp dumplings (x2): standard
Xiao Long Bao: Too large! No soup inside. Disappointed :(
Shrimp he fun (x2): could have used more shrimp! Otherwise, flavored nicely with the sauce that came with it.
Chicken feet: Meaty, one of my dining companions said this tasted better than other chicken feet in the past. I would have preferred it to be flavored a little bit different, but still decent for Cleveland
Short ribs with black pepper sauce: I think I ordered wrong. Was expecting small rib tips with black bean sauce, but ended up being something else. Oops.
Egg tarts: Felt that it could have been warmer, but overall, standard
San ji bao (x2): the sauce that came with this was delicious.
Pork in this flaky crust thingy: yummy crust, pretty standard
Thousand year duck egg congee: better than other places; actually flavored! Tasted yummy with sriracha
You Tiao: bland but not oily. Tasted fresh, but could have been fried more with fluffier and softer interior
Cha Sao Bao
16 dishes for 6 people. Came out to be around 66 total for the final dining bill. Price seemed much better compared to other dim sum places in Cleveland. Overall, decent dimsum, probably one of the better dim sum joints in Cleveland. Would go there again.
