"This list is full of dim sum spots where flagging down carts is half the fun, but Dim Sum Palace is a blast even without putting their pork buns on wheels. The plump har gow, crispy short rib niblets, and shredded duck spring rolls just taste better fresh from the kitchen, and there’s plenty to amuse you while you wait for your dumplings to cool down. The Chinatown location of this local chain is the only one that’s open until 3am. At any given hour, you’ll walk into a packed room, where most people seem to be celebrating something and taking full advantage of the restaurant’s liquor license. Follow their lead, and top your dinner off with a plate of orange slices for good luck. " - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
