Excellent choice for dinner or dim sum
Wednesday, November 08, 2006
This is one of the best restaurants in Chinatown along with Dim Sum Go Go, New York Noodletown and Joe's Shanghai. The seafood is very fresh and very good. I especially like the scallop on the half-shell with XO sauce and steamed live shrimp. They have a great variety of dumplings with delicate wrappers and unusual fillings. Shrimp with snow pea leaves comes to mind. The hot and sour soup is like no other ? and it's great. I've seen them serve Vancouver crab and I'm dying to try it, but I haven't yet convinced my wife to spring for the price. I suspect that some of the negative reviews I've read on this site are actually from people who love the place and don't want to see an overflow of diners competing with them for tables.
Pros: Best hot and sour soup anywhere, excellent fresh fish, great dim sum
Cons: Tables are crowded together
