"For dim sum in Chinatown, many will tell you to go to Jing Fong. That’s not a bad recommendation, but for a (slightly) less hectic experience with a shorter wait and more locals enjoying shrimp rice rolls, head to House of Joy. The carpeted room is sprawling and lit by enormous chandeliers, and the durian pastries are eternally flaky. Put your name with the host at the door, then loiter near the entrance until your number is called. Even if the place is swamped, you shouldn’t have to wait more than 30 minutes or so." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja
