Dim Sum for CHristmas?

[nissenpa]

Does anyone do this? DH and I will be trying dimsum in the weeks ahead and we were also thinking it might be a good idea for CHristmas since we will be staying here this year with no visitors.

I saw the write up in the post yesterday about dim sum so I may just start calling around. Thought I'd check in with everyone here first incase anyone has had a stellar experience.

I'm pretty sure it was Christmas day a couple of years ago that I went to Mark's Duck House for dim sum. Packed to the rafters.

China Garden in Rosslyn has been open on New Year's Day in the past; I don't know if they are open on Christmas but it might be worth a call.

Thanks! I will call them first to check.

Is there dim sum any good?

I wasn't that impressed with China Garden. The only decent Dim Sum on non-weekends in the DC area is Hollywood East on the Boulevard. Who knows if they'll be open on Xmas. One year I spent Xmas eve at Mei Wah in DC. If you like meeting every member of the Jewish community in DC, it'll be fun.

New Fortune in Gaithersburg serves Dim Sum from the carts on weekdays. Don't know if they're open on Xmas day.

Chinese at Xmas is a tradition for many of us. But, I really don't know where I'll go in the area this year.

Chinese food and a movie is the way to go.

It's a big deal in LA/SF and NYC for those not inclined to traditionally observe for whatever reason, it would be nice here:

Of course the Post had a good article regarding Dim Sum in last week's issue (wed) - with all pertinent locations and I believe with phone numbers - you could use that as a list to eliminate from?
