"With well-made ribs and crystal dumplings that always have translucent skin, Dim Sum Factory in the Northeast is as reliable as a Denzel Washington performance. The laidback BYOB opens at 11am, so it’s easy to walk in for a quick lunch or grab a booth with a few friends on a night when the only cure for a bad week is soup dumplings in a room full of dragons. And since the restaurant has its own parking lot, you won’t have a long walk to your car after eating siu mai like popcorn." - candis mclean
