dim sum cart
Rolling dumpling service
A dim sum cart is a wheeled trolley pushed through a restaurant, carrying small plates of dumplings, buns, and other Cantonese dishes for diners to select directly.
The cart system defines traditional dim sum service—servers circulate continuously, and you point at what looks good: The shrimp dumplings came by on the dim sum cart and we grabbed two plates.
