"Dragon Beaux is the fanciest dim sum option in the neighborhood. Purple booths are flanked by glowing gold pillars, and there’s cherry blossom wall art and a huge back room broken up with intricately carved panels. Even the dishes have a flair for the over-the-top, like the charcoal sponge cake rolls and rich squid ink-tinted black truffle xiao long bao. This place also does an all-you-can-eat hot pot for dinner. Getting the endless stream of shaved-to-order meats and harder-to-find proteins, like beef tendon and squid, next to vats of bubbling chili-packed broth, is our favorite antidote to any misty night." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
