7.9
A daytime dim sum and Cantonese seafood hall where rolling carts meet live-tank classics. The draw is traditional execution and a steady local crowd, especially on weekends.
Must-Try Dishes:
Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow), Roast Duck, Ginger-Scallion Fish
What Makes it Special: Traditional dim sum carts plus Cantonese seafood staples.
7.8
A sprawling Chinatown banquet hall that still runs traditional cart-service dim sum on Ord Street, where the har gow and siu mai come to your table on rolling carts rather than off a printed order sheet. It draws weekend crowds of regulars who know the move is to go deep on the Cantonese classics—Peking duck for the table, BBQ pork between rounds—at prices that make it easy to over-order without regret. Expect a loud, no-frills dining room where the energy comes from packed tables and fast-moving carts, not decor.
Must-Try Dishes:
Peking Duck, Har Gow, BBQ Pork
