We go there for dim sum on Sundays. It's not bad, but service slows down when it gets crowded.

SuperHero: Is it good though? Or should I go there and accept it as my best option for dim sum in Austin?

 

[SuperHero]

I'm hardly the authority on dim sum. But my FOB Chinese friends like it more than Tien Hong or T&S, so I guess it's alright.

 

[gunnerhorn]

Thanks. In that case, I'll have to try it out. FOBs know everything.

the dim sum there makes me want to punch the owner in the face. it might be the best in austin, but to tell you the truth, I'd go ahead and give up eating dim sum if you live here.

Yep. Austin dim sum is pathetic. Houstotn has good dim sum. Likely the best dim sum south of NYC and Chicago and east of California.

 

[SuperHero]

Chance,
Where in Houston do you go for dim sum? I'll be there for a wedding later this month, and need to satisfy my craving for real, good, Chinese food.

super, there's a restaurant in that new market. It's HU

Ocean Palace on Bellaire has good dim sum. I always go there to get dim sum.

Supposedly the Kim Son in Sugarland has good dim sum as well.

Went to Ocean Palace two weeks ago. It was good. Then again, I judge dim sum by the amount of grease. Ocean Palace is a lot less greasy than Marco Polo. Who said Chinese food is good for you?
