| - Old-school dim sum house, delighted to see the tea cart service and large variety of dim sum. (We went on a Sunday morning for brunch -- I noted that some reviewers did not experience the cart service, so it may be only on weekends when the crowds are bigger.) In general, their dim sum had very good flavors, bright and distinct. Some notable ones in our opinion: the roast duck (nice crisp skin, and happily, not fatty or greasy at all); steamed beef spare ribs (very good, redolent with black bean sauce, succulent and tender); fried whole shrimp (very crispy, willingly able to eat shell, tail and all); and the shrimp-stuffed eggplant with black bean sauce. Items worthy of a shout-out: DSKSR's pan-fried shrimp-chive dumplings (excellent flavor -- had several rounds of those!); steamed pork buns (one of the best I've had in a while, soft and pillowy, with a pork filling that was not too sweet or cloying); and another repeat rounder in their shrimp-stuffed jalapeno peppers (quite tasty and nice heat).
On the downside, their salt&pepper squid was not as good as I would have expected; and we seemed to keep seeing the same carts over and over again. We had to be patient to wait for the right cart with the dim sum that we wanted.
