Northern Chinese dim sum all day, every day.
From June 2005 Cheap Eats
A changing of the guard hasn't dampened the exuberance of this restaurant known for its authentic northern Chinese cuisine. The new owners have added some Chinese-American Greatest Hits, such as beef lo mein and Kung Pao chicken, but the Chinese expats in this persimmon-and-gray dining room hold steadfast to such delicacies as squid with pickled pepper, three-cup chicken with basil, steamed spareribs wrapped in lotus leaves, and spicy slow-roasted beef noodle soup.
If you stick to dim sum--ordered from a menu rather than plucked from a cart--dumplings with chili sauce are addictive little bundles. Also good are the baked egg cake Chengdu style--both salty and sweet versions are worth trying--tender water pork dumplings, and flaky sesame flatbread with sliced beef.
