"Taste Of Mulan is where we go for a quiet dim sum meal. Once an order is placed, the staff graciously leaves guests to their own devices, which usually consists of nodding along to Top 40 music or the soft giggles of couples grabbing a bite to eat. Cheers over a few glasses of cold sake, and take down pillowy bao buns stuffed with BBQ pork. Or have a savory turnip cake with crispy edges that could bring someone out of the worst mood. The dim sum list comes ready to be checked off into oblivion, but there’s always the option to add more later on if only experiencing the har gow once feels too short. And with personal bottles of chili oil on every table, we recommend adding as much spice as you can handle—it’s OK if your eyes water a bit." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
