I heart dim sum. The first time I had it was only a year ago....*gasp* ..i know I know ...i lived under a rock as a child SORRY!
I went with some girlfriends from work along with our language barrier breaking friend. I would just tell her what I wanted in English and she would wave her hand and quickly rattle off what I asked for...heaven!. She was a life saver that's for sure.
I still don't know what half of the items are called but I do know its all amazing!
We would usually go at lunch time and it would always be full when we walked in with more people standing at the door patiently waiting. I'd recommend making a reservation!
The ladies roll their carts of goodies around the floor and ask each table if they would like some. They come on small plates that can be easily shared using the Lazy Susan in the middle of the table.
I love love love their shrimp toast. It is very rich and you can only eat a couple but they are delish!
The prices are good, its always really reasonable when we come with a large group. I have never gone there for anything but dim sum so I'm not sure what their menu entails.
Even if you don't speak Cantonese or mandarin you can still get along just fine, the ladies always have somebody to translate amongst the staff.
Its a great experience to have and there is so much to choose from you have to try it out!
