"The scene outside Star Kitchen’s West Mississippi strip mall home on a Sunday morning is pure chaos. That’s because inside is the best dim sum in town, where carts roll fried shrimp balls, egg custard tarts, and every sort of pleated dough to the packed house of families, friends, and strangers willing to share a table to shorten their wait. After 17 years, the Star Kitcheners are pretty darn efficient at what they do, so if you’re not a pro, just point to a bamboo steamer and hope it’s filled with the jiggly rice crepes stuffed with shrimp, BBQ pork, or minced beef, or the lotus leaf-wrapped sticky rice dotted with chicken and dried scallops." - Allyson Reedy
