"This Chinatown staple has been around since 1996, and people still line up on the staircase near the dining room for its delicious dim sum. Lunchtime on the weekends is the busiest, when every two-top and 10-seat table with a lazy susan is taken. But this is also the best time to visit: the room is totally alive, and the kitchen churns through har gow and BBQ pork buns frequently to keep up. No matter when you go, the meal won't be complete without Triple Crown's sweet, cartoon piggy custard buns that are almost too cute to eat—almost." - nick allen, john ringor, adrian kane
