Dim Sum King

"If you don’t have any friends but you’re in the mood for dim sum, you either have to order very selectively, or go home with a ton of leftovers that may or may not reheat well. At Dim Sum King, everything is priced per piece—you could get a potsticker, two siu mai, three rice rolls, a chicken bun, and call it a day. But make sure you try the superb egg tarts at any cost. The greatest way to use this place is to swing by in the morning, grab a dozen of those, and be the hero of the brunch party." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano, kayla sager riley

"Dim Sum King, in the Chinatown-International District, offers an affordable price for fast dim sum by the piece, from various baked buns and crispy treats like egg rolls and pot stickers to steamed shrimp or pork dumplings and chicken feet. Boxes of chow mein are also a bargain. On the sweet side, in addition to flaky egg tarts, check out the massive portions of sponge cake. Best of all, Dim Sum King opens at 7 a.m. and has a handy online ordering system." - Jay Friedman

"Sitting down for a leisurely dim sum meal is undeniably awesome, but sometimes you just want a few pieces of dim sum on the go. That's where Dim Sum King comes in. At this small counter spot, everything is priced per piece, making this the perfect place for an indecisive person who wants to try a little bit of everything. Choose from parcels of sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, sui mai, and red bean-stuffed sesame balls all packed in to-go containers. But make sure to grab a few egg tarts, too. These little delights have an extra buttery crust and perfectly set custard filling that make them some of the best in town. " - kayla sager riley, carlo mantuano
