"The best lobster dish in town is served in a banquet hall in the Northeast. It comes whole and buttery, stir-fried with ginger, scallion, and crispy chunks of pork. We like plenty of other food at this dim sum institution—especially juicy shu mai, crispy shrimp balls, bbq pork buns, and rice noodle rolls—but you should make a point to order the lobster off the restaurant’s menu, rather than just sticking to what you see on the roving carts. Something this aromatic, deliciously salty, and a little bit sweet is well worth the 30-minute wait for a table on Sunday morning." - alison kessler, candis mclean
