Dim Sum treats in the

Miami
In Miami, on 163rd Street, there is a treasure
called Jumbo not to be confused
with the many buffet jumbos down this part of
the world. Jumbo offers delicious Dim Sum. They
offer scrumptious dumplings of all varieties and
the staff are happy to tell you about ‘special’
dishes that are not on the menu (of course you
must ask). I discovered this restaurant after
trying many, many dim sum restaurants in Miami
when I moved here from New Mexico. Because I've
worked in New York City’s Chinatown for
11 years I am very familiar with what delicious
Dim Sum tastes like. The minute I moved to Miami
I went on a quest and you can imagine my delight
when after trying over 38 Chinese restaurants
in Miami I stumbled upon Jumbo at 1242 N.E. 163rd
Street, Miami Florida, 33162, Phone: 305-956-5677.

Honolulu
Legend Seafood Restaurant --
I have a favorite Dim Sum place here in Honolulu,
Hawaii. My name is Maiko, and the one I love is
called the 'Legend Seafood Restaurant'. I don't
know of any website, but it is located at 100
N. Beretania St. at the Chinese Cultural Plaza
downtown. The phone number is (808) 532-1868.
The food is wonderful and it's fairly inexpensive.
It gets pretty crowded though so I find that it's
better to go at lunch time. If you do want to
eat dinner there, you should probably get a reservation.

I have two recommendations for Honolulu. The
first is Legends in the Chinese
Cultural Plaza (see above for details). Their
seafood restaurant is on one side of the mall,
vegetarian on the other (this Chinatown establishment
specializes in Buddhist temple cuisine). My second
recommendation is Happy Days
located at 3553 Wai'alae Ave., Kaimuki. Both come
highly recommended by the Chinese community in
Honolulu.

Boston
In Boston, the best place by far for dim sum is
the China Pearl in Chinatown.
(9 Tyler Street, 617-426-4338, a few storefronts
from Kneeland Street). They don't have a website,
but are reviewed by online sources. There are
several floors of dim sum goodness on Sunday mornings.
If you arrive too late, you will find yourself
at the end of a long line of people waiting to
get in, so be sure to come early. It is well worth
listening to the alarm go off on a Sunday morning.

Minneapolis
One of the best Dim Sum restaurants that I've
been at is Yummy's in Minneapolis.
My daughter lives in Minneapolis and when I visit
her we always check out restaurants. My only criteria
when I visit her is to go to a restaurant with
cuisine that cannot be matched in my area. Yummy's
clearly fits the bill. Website: Yummy's

New York City
Yesterday I joined my family at Dim Sum
Go Go, 5 East Broadway, New York, NY
10038. We were 12 adults (including teenagers
and one five year old) plus a baby at a long table
in the rear of the restaurant. Though my daughter
and her husband know this this place well, it
was my first visit. As the consummate native New
Yorker, I have eaten in many local restaurants,
and I would rate this as excellent, especially
for those who prefer simplicity to grandeur.
First, from a printed menu we selected an assortment
of individual fried, baked, steamed rice rolls,
steamed, vegetable dim sum; the restaurant also
offers 10 pc. platters, plus desserts. We also
ordered other food. Instead of the usual heavily
fried chunks of vegetables, chicken in most Chinese
restaurants, we ate diced and slivered selections
with light sauces. The waiters were very patient
and helpful, and one remained at the table to
assemble the ingredients for Peking Duck for each
person. The restaurant is in one room, medium-sized,
not noisy, and clean. Located near Chinatown's
Chatham Square, it is easy to find. Telephone:
(212) 732-0797.

I have lived in New York City for two years
(I moved here from Malaysia via London). The best
place in NYC to have dim sum is a place called
the Golden Unicorn. It's under
the Manhattan Bridge in a tiny three floor maze
of a mall. Traditional pushcarts and the ever-efficient
Chinese pack out the two levels of dining so go
early on the weekend (before 11 am). The traditional
(steamed pork dumplings, sticky rice in lotus
leaf) and the non- traditional for Caucasians
(duck tongue, chicken feet) are clearly labelled
on the pushcarts in English and in Chinese with
pictures for the newbie.

that whiz by the tables. Address: 20 Elizabeth

Brooklyn
My vote goes to World Tong Seafood Restaurant.
Address: 6202 18th Avenue at 62nd Street, Bensonhurst,
Brooklyn. Tel: (718) 236-8118 One very well known
foodie in NYC has deemed this "the best dim
sum outside of Hong Kong".

Flushing
I'd like to tell everybody about Joe's
Shanghai, at 136-21 37th Ave, Flushing,
NY. Their phone is 718-539-3838. People flock
there just for their steamed rolls -- with either
pork or crab meat buns. The best ever! You can
go in a group or if you go alone, there are communal
tables where you can sit with other singles.
