I think the greatest variety and "local color"
for dim sum is at Joy Tsin Lau.

I am not sure if all of you know or heard of LakeSide.
I tried Dim Sum there a while back, and they were semi-good.

Most Dim Sum place in Chinatown lack service due to them
rushing around like crazy.

If you are willing to leave Chinatown, I and friends of mine who are dim
sum regulars recommend Maxim on Sundays in the Washington St. mall on
the 600 block of Washington Ave. I think it was called New Century
before. Or maybe Restaurant Hoa. Anyway, it's big. And tasty. We use the
calamari as one of our benchmarks, and we like it better there than
Imperial, that gaudy place by 8th? & Washington, and a couple other places.

There is also a new restaurant on 8th and Washington (note: limited parking
spots in the lot) to my surprise have good dim sum. If you aren't turned
off by having to park on Washington Ave or 8th Street, go for it.

I think the name changed recently to "... Sky" where ... is blank in
my mind right now.
