Late Night Eats

Don’t show up after midnight craving dim sum. In keeping with tradition, the nibbles are offered only until 3 pm at this authentic Hong Kong–style spot. The 200-dishes-and-counting regular menu, however, is available till 1 am on weekdays and 2 am Fridays and Saturdays.

Dim-sum devotees can snack on dumplings, shrimp toast, and spicy shrimp wontons from the roster of appetizers ($1.25 to $7.95). If you crave a heartier late-night meal, go for a bowl of congee ($5.95), a Chinese rice porridge that comes topped with chicken, beef, or pork. Big piles of fried rice ($6.95 to $7.95) are loaded with whichever meats you choose.

Great Dim Sum

The staff is especially friendly for a crowded dim sum joint. The tables are big enough to accommodate extended family or a lot of friends, it's cheap, the menu is extensive, and the food is hot and fresh.
