Editorial Review for Dol Ho – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
A nondescript storefront leads to a dining room filled with black tables and rotating fans bolted to pink walls. The clientele is primarily Chinese locals who come for the dirt-cheap dim sum. The restaurant has all the standards, such as har gow and siu mai dumplings, as well as hot custard tarts. Numerous other dishes circulate through the dining room every few minutes.

Folks, you don't go to Chinatown to have dim sum for "atmosphere". If you want good dim sum at a great price, this is the place to be. There is no service (notice most patrons "regulars" just go get their own tea or whatever they need), you may have to share a table...but so what? There are basically 3 carts of dim sum that will roll out every 15 minutes or so - the steamed one, the fried ones and the rice ones. If you like chili sauce, theirs is one of the best - it's not very spicy but very tasty, they make their own there. You can buy it too - I do! Some of my personal must have there are: beefballs (BEST), tofu with shrimp stuffing wrapped in silver noodles, rice noodles (I like the beef filling), spareribs in plum sauce (they are one of the few places that make it!).

Pros: Cannot beat the price

Cons: None if you don't have the wrong expectations
