I normally have Dim Sum at Kowloon whenever I'm visiting Arlington, but I've been on the hunt for good Dim Sum within Dallas and Bushi Bushi has been on my list for a while now. I finally tried it and found a good dim sum restaurant in Dallas, and I recommend it to anyone craving authentic dim sum. There is a slight wait for food, the quality and flavors make it worth the trip.
Food (4.2/5):
On my first visit, I tried several dishes:
* Pork Soup Dumplings: These were good but mediocre.
* Hot Oil Wontons: The wontons themselves were solid, but I wasn't a huge fan of the hot oil sauce.
* Shrimp Noodle Rice Roll: I've always enjoyed this dish and it met my expectations. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the sweet sauce that came with it was the perfect complement.
* Diced Chicken with Spicy Chilis: I've had this dish at a Chinese restaurant in Carrollton where it was overly floral and soapy from too much peppercorn. Here, it was great. The flavors were balanced, spicy, and addictive.
On my second visit, I came back with my brother, and we reordered our favorites:
* Pork Soup Dumplings, Shrimp Rice Rolls, & Diced Chicken with Spicy Peppers: These dishes still held up as delicious as the first time.
* Beef Pan-Fried Udon with Black Pepper: This dish was good but a little too heavy on the seasoning (salt or MSG). It was tasty but excessive in flavor.
We also ordered Red Bean Sesame Balls to-go, which my mom loved as a sweet ending to the meal.
Service (3.8/5):
The service here is standard for a dim sum spot. The staff were friendly, but it wasn't anything exceptiona. Food did take a bit of time to come out, so if you're in a rush, it's something to keep in mind.
Ambiance (4/5):
The ambiance is casual and laid-back, with plenty of seating and a bar area. It's a comfortable spot for enjoying a relaxed meal with friends or family. The space is spacious, and the vibe is typical of most dim sum places--nothing too fancy but cozy enough to make it a good experience.
