Who knew a quaint little restaurant in a quiet street serves great dim sum?

Four tables on the ground floor behind the partition

Upstairs

Wall decorations are nothing Chinese-y

We ordered this set: 7 dim sum varieties sampler plate 2620Yen/US$33

And rice rolls to begin our meal 780Yen/US$10

Some other dim sum

on the menu

The table setting brings back memory of Hong Kong

French words on the chopstick sleeve

Rice rolls were a disappointment, the sheets were not slippery smooth and the soy sauce tasted like Japanese dashi. Totally not re-orderable

The steamed dim sum sampler was however a winner, everything tasted great

Crab meat and roe dumpling

was full of crunchy prawns

Shrimp dumpling was the same story with an added touch of bamboo shoots

Chives dumpling was also full of prawns

The squid and shiso dumpling was our least favorite

only because we don't like shiso. If you like this pungent herb, you'll like this dim sum

After the steamed dim sum, the fried things arrived

Everything was super crispy and delicious, the spring roll was full of prawns too

so was this one

cross section

Sticky rice ball was a tad soft but tasted great

Charsui bun 560Yen/US$7

The bun was super fluffy but the sesame oil flavor in the filling was overpowering

Pork dumplings 560Yen

It tasted exactly like those in Hong Kong, very yummy
