dim sum restaurants
Steamer cart venues
Dim sum restaurants serve the traditional Cantonese meal of small dishes—dumplings, buns, rice rolls, and other bite-sized portions meant for sharing.
The classic format features carts wheeled through the dining room, with servers offering dishes as they pass: We grabbed har gow and siu mai from the cart.
Dim sum restaurants are typically busiest for weekend brunch, when families gather for the leisurely meal that gives the cuisine its name—"touch the heart."
