"Traditional banquet-style dim sum is at Hong Kong Lounge in the Richmond. The pink-walled restaurant is always packed with groups of families and friends spinning lazy susans full of xiao long bao steamers and plates of glistening char siu. It’s busy most days, but this spot runs as efficiently as a halftime show setup—food arrives within minutes, and staff keep your teapot full at all times. And since Hong Kong Lounge is group and walk-in friendly, it’s perfect for last-minute brunches, or when your party of four suddenly turns into eight. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
