I’ll cover my favorites, first.
The four pieces of shrimp toast for $4 are the equal of the best we’ve ever had. The moderately thick fresh bread base is moistened with

The Beef Noodle Soup ((9.25) is a savory sleeper, with a wonderfully seasoned light savory broth, spaghetti like noodles, and a goodly portion of deliciously tender beef slices, with bok choy and scallions. I hope they have this healthy brimming bowlful on the weekday menu soon- it’s delicious.
I flipped over the Steamed Chicken with Ginger and Scallions for $6, it’s velvet soft and tender and the flavoring is like tasting springtime-I’m hooked on it.
Charlie Chiang’s very tasty Roast duck for only $10, gets very high ratings! Crisp crackly skin with a light saucing reigns supreme, perched atop the tenderly savory and juicy flesh- this is wonderfully cooked duck with bone-in goodness! A couple orders of these would be a great price and portion for a duck dinner. Compared to the Roast Chicken with Bones (6), duck, by its nature, has a ribbon of succulent fat under the skin,
giving it a more luscious mouth feel. Both have crispy skin, the mark of proper preparation, a Chinese art form.

A welcome large portion is the Odon Noodle Soup with Tempura shrimp and Vegetables for $10-this can be a whole lunch

Ribs with Honey Sauce are bite sized, proper cooking concentrates the flavor of the ribs, and there’s virtually no fat.

The long, narrow Japanese eggplant is sliced, lightly tempura battered and lightly fried, so the eggplant has

Like some heat? Get the succulent Spicy Tangy Dumpling quartet with peanut sauce (4.25)- it’s a mild-medium heat,

Pork Chops are cut very thin quickly cooked, with a delicious thick slightly sweet Asian red sauce.
Jade Vegetable Dumplings are color-coded green for vegetarians, with a delicious filling of potato and herbs, with just a hint of light spices…four for $3.50.
The chicken feet are properly cooked, so there’s the desirable touch of gelatin countered by the mildly spiced sauce.

Shrimp dumplings are pretty translucent thin white rice packages with shrimp and a potato like filling for delicate palates, It’s decent- the taste just doesn’t jump out, and I prefer more striking spicing, and this has the delicacy of shrimp.
Pork Potsticker Dumplings filling is fine, the dumpling dough was denser than I like on this first day-they will thin the dough in the future, let me know how they are.
Finish things off with four $3.25 Dessert Peach-shaped buns, filled with traditional bean paste, or a Malaysian Sponge Cake, three (not four) for 3.25


Overall, there’s some items that would hold their own against any Dim sum in Hong Kong, and that says a lot. This Dim Sum certainly has the quality that we had at Bo Ling’s. If enough people support it, it will also gain the carts, and perhaps add to the over 60 items now offered.
Not a weekend brunch diner, there’s also ½ priced sushi Tues and Thurs, 7:30-9:30pm, daily 3 course lunches for $7.99 daily, and the Happy Hour is popular, with great prices on drinks, apps, and sushi, offered every day, 4-6 pm.
