What is dim sum?
Dim sum is a style of Chinese cuisine prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. It is customary to order family style, sharing dishes among all members of the dining party. Because of the small portions, people can try a wide variety of food.
We recommend ordering 2 - 3 dishes per person for a full meal.
DUMPLINGS have a ground meat and/or vegetable filling, wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together
BAO is a type of steamed, filled white flour bun. They can be filled with meat and/or vegetables.
