So, your "recent" finds please. Authentic regional Chinese cuisine is my food obsession, so I'm not interested in restos that exclusively serve the Americanized dishes like General Tso's, even if the quality is great. I can get that here in Harrisburg anytime. Thanks in advance.

Don't let the name fool you...they aren't actually a dim sum joint, but they do make some great food. Heh, and don't let its dark and sorta spooky location throw you off. It's really good. 59 N 11th St Wed Sep 03 07:25:23 -0700 2008 4003835 53643 Boognish 2 4005833 Any noodle dish served at Dim Sum Garden is great since their noodles are thick and all are home made.

Spooky location but excellent food. The Shanghai dumplings, pork and chive dumplings, cold cucumber, and "chilly" cabbage shredded pork noodle (without soup) are some of my favorites. In Chinatown, I also enjoy Shao Lan Kung at 9th and Race. It is not new but I have eaten there within the past week and it is still excellent. They serve many traditional dishes.

They have a few great dim sum restaurants which are open for dim sum everyday at 8:30 am. I noticed that here in Philly, dim sum is offered only on the weekends and that the restaurants don't open until 10:30-11:00 AM. Are there any places that you can get dim sum during the week and early? Fri Sep 19 04:20:59 -0700 2008 4013661 61972 rockpile
