| - Many of these less fancy dim sum places usually end up with lower Yelp scores. Doesn't matter though. It's not the millennial "foodies" that will keep them thriving. It's the grannies who drag their millennial grandchildren to dim sum brunch on weekends. I mean, that's what my grandma does to me with Nks. And I LIKE it.
Food-wise, the stuff here is actually pretty decent. Take a look at the shots I took. No filter needed. Smooth and plump shrimp rice rolls, glistening egg tarts, nicely glazed BBQ pork buns. But these guys aren't all looks, no substance. Sure, with every place, you'll have weaker dishes, but it's quite tasty overall.
For dinner, I just got a chance to take part in the $98 dinner special. The amount of food we got, at such great quality, at THAT price? Unbelievable. Included Peking duck, fried ribs, steamed fish, poached chicken with lots of ginger/green onion oil, bean sprout leaves, and dessert (tofu pudding or sweet mung bean soup). ALL of it was delicious. Seriously, what a steal. We had 5 people and plenty of leftovers.
Sure, they're probably not going to top the charts any time soon, but Nks is really quite good. Great food, decent prices, and not-too-shabby service. Oh, and the place is huuuuge so lines aren't that big of an issue. That's already better than a ton of dim sum places out there. And if it keeps grandma happy, well, that's a solid win in my books.
