Dim sum restaurants don’t care about the order in which dim sum is served so I’m not surprised.
Sergio on summer break?
right… that’s 1 point and i agree… but the bigger points are that they do care about bringing what you order and bringing it hot.

Why do dim sum restaurants serve desserts in/with plastic when they don’t for their other dishes? Is it because the desserts are made off-site? Pure convenience/cost? It’s incongruous particularly at the higher end places, with having a nice meal and then get served dessert with a tiny plastic spoon.
Dim sum restaurants do not have a large supply of forks and spoons for diners, who mostly eat with chopsticks. They certainly have a small supply for diners who request them but certainly not enough for those eating mango pudding or wedding cake at a wedding banquet.
Adding to Dave’s answer, there really aren’t any higher end dim sum places in the US.
sorry lol… i meant to edit the dumb joke and describe but forgot

can those still be good as takeout!? the crunch is 1/2 the point
We just live 5 min away so I ate it right away when we got home still crunchy but maybe not peak crunchy
Thumbs up from me as well - tried it on a weekday.
Had the lunch special - French style filet mignon w soup, egg roll and fried rice $14.95. Sooooo good and made up for the beef calories wasted the day before at PDC SaMo.
I ordered other items as well to test out before coming back for a business lunch I’m hosting. Very good - Chinese broccoli; Steamed pork bun (nice smoky taste and aroma from star anise). Good - har gao steamed dumplings. Fair - baked pork bun (dough too thin and flabby; prefer Lunasia’s).
