| - It is always a blur of frantic Chinese being thrown out, ninja fast finger pointing, and hopes of not regretting the shear volume of food on the table as the first cart pulls away. My family and friends have been coming here for years, the reason, it is just good dim sum. OH! and the chili sauce! Went to Chang's one time to try it out, the dishes were delicious and the service was great, but the lack of the chili sauce keeps me coming back here.
Cathay House sometimes lack in service, and I often have to double check the math because one guy tends to add extra to your bill. Yet I still come back, because they have the largest selection of dim sum and that AWESOME chili sauce. One of my friends and I have a tendency of dipping everything including our char sui bun in this sauce. Don't knock it, the contrast between the sweet BBQ pork and the spice of the oil is magic.
We tend to order the mixed pork and shrimp dumpling, shrimp dumpling in the white skin, steamed BBQ bun, chicken feet, tripe in black bean sauce, shrimp balls, spare ribs in black bean sauce, tofu skin wraps, tendons, shrimp noodles, and the taro cakes. The feast usually ranges around 25-30 dollars.
The best part is if you go with a white friend they will always bring them a fork. It drives my friend nuts. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside while I bust out laughing in her face.
