"On weekend dim sum menus in Bloomington, niángāo appears as a sweet seasonal offering; niángāo is noted as a homonym for “higher year” or “grow every year,” symbolizing growth and success in the new year, and is presented alongside other traditional dim sum fare." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Head to Mandarin Kitchen for a dim sum brunch of pan-fried turnip cakes, pillowy steamed buns, egg custards, and steamed pork dumplings. (Mandarin Kitchen has a vast menu of entrees, too, and hot pot.) At peak meal times, small parties can expect share tables — an arrangement that only adds to the bustling, convivial atmosphere. On weekends, this spot is packed with families, and the line often wraps out the door." - Eater Staff
