| - This dim sum is for real. I'm mainly gonna rave about how I like the food. The ambience is simple (like most Chinese restaurants I've ever seen) and it's true you will see a lot of Chinese people dining here, which is always a vote of confidence in my book. You can also get take-out, which is usually what I do, and enjoy your gluttony in privacy.
So back to the food, after reminiscing a second. Summertimes growing up we used to visit relatives in San Francisco and eat dim sum in Chinatown. Short of traveling halfway around the world, I have to think that dining in a big-city Chinatown restaurant is about as authentic as it gets. When I moved to Charlotte I was so happy to find a restaurant that served this cuisine and thought it was amazing--the variety, the authenticity, and the overwhelming yumminess! But a part of me doubted my judgment since maybe my childhood pork bun memories are hazy.
Recently I went back to San Fran and had dim sum, lots of different dishes, and I thought, "Huh, this tastes exactly like the one in my neighborhood." Score for Plaza Midwood and Charlotte! So if you love dim sum, but have wondered if this could be any good, try it!
