Dim Sum in Detroit area

[jsmcafee]

Who’s got the best Dim Sum available in the Metro Detroit area? Any restaurants serving from a dim sum cart? Saw a posting from last year, but wanted to know about any recommendations for Shangri-La in W. Bloomfield.

Shangri-la, East Lake, and Golden Harvest are all very edible. IMHO, Windsor's stuff isn't worth the extra hassle\time. The three restaurants have their own "strong suit". All pretty authentic though with carts and real Chinese people eating there.

If you are able to get to East Lansing, Golden Wok on Grand River, east of campus, has dim sum, "a la cart", every weekend. Their dim sum adds up.

Have not been to Shangri-La for a couple of years but they always have a crowd. Cart service like we got in Windsor, Canada. Give them a try at Maple and Orchard Lake Rd!!

Good News....Shangri-La will be opening a new location in Midtown Detroit.

Apparently in the place Twingo's used to be...

Shangri-La Midtown makes the best dim sum I've had in years. Last time I had such memorable and perfectly cooked dim sum, I was in Manhattan. No need to drive down to Windsor for the just-OK stuff when Detroit does it so well. Highly recommended. (4710 Cass Ave, between Hancock and Forest)

(Chow message board wranglers, please add Shangri-La Midtown to your restaurant list!)

Here's a short thread about a couple of places in Ann Arbor, "close by each" as they say in Poletown:

Lai Lai has been there a long time and has consistently drawn a Chinese clientele. I've never personally tried the dim sum.
