![]() ![]() I love the chewy texture of the outside, and the filling is pretty tasty. They also have a deep fried sesame ball on the menu, which is a sweeter dessert version. These Deep Fried Pork Dumplings ($3.49), which are essentially huge deep fried, ground pork-filled "mochi" balls, are fantastic. The Steamed Shrimp Dumplings ($3.49) has a similar translucent skin, but it's thinner and filled with shrimp and chives.īryan and I both love Beef Tripe steamed with ginger and scallions ($3.49). Jade Pearl Dumplings ($3.49), filled with crab, has a rice-based translucent skin and comes topped with a colorful green scallion or carrot top. We've tried the vegetarian one, which was delicious. You can order a vegetarian version (filled with bamboo shoots, mushrooms), pork filled, or even a plain one. There are several varieties of this dish. ![]() I also really enjoy the Crispy Fried Bean Curd Sheet Roll ($3.49), which they execute very nicely (yay, made-to-order crispy rolls are typically crunchier!). I usually like to get some greens to offset all of the seafood or carbohydrate-heavy dishes that we are ordering! Stir Fried Yu Choy (a mild, leafy vegetable common in Cantonese cuisine - $8.95) is pretty standard and tastes fine here. I've had this dish a few times here, and it's usually pretty good, though the level of "char" varies a bit (see photo at the beginning of the post compared to the one directly above). I have a weakness for pan fried turnip cakes, especially when they are really nicely charred. I find myself drawn to the Pan Fried White Turnip Cake with XO Sauce ($7.50) every time I am there. The flavors are fine, and overall it is pretty enjoyable. I like the fact that they are on the smaller side, which I find to be more authentic (at least according to my limited experience eating xiao long bao in Shanghai). Their Crab Soup Dumpling (Xiao Long Bao) is solid. Japanese eggplant stuffed with shrimp is deep fried and served with oyster sauce. I love the Fried Stuffed Eggplant ($3.49), a dish that especially shines because it's made-to-order. It is truly one of the best dim sum places in Boston. In general, the food here is very good and you won't be disappointed. Pictured below is a selection of dishes that we've tried. There were chairs separating us from the other party, so it didn't feel too intrusive.įood is very reasonably priced, with most dim sum dishes costing $3.49 a plate. Larger plates cost between $7 - $10, but overall, you won't spend too much money on a very satisfying and tasty meal. ![]() Bryan and I sat at a large round table with another group of three people. Don't be surprised if they ask if you are willing to share a table with another group of people. The tiny dining area consists mostly of large round tables. This past year, I finally had a chance to visit while my mom was in town, and subsequently went back several times. Imagine, you can stop by on any random weeknight to get your dim sum fix.Īfter hearing more and more people declare that Winsor had the best dim sum in Boston, I knew that I had to go try it. Furthermore, dim sum is available anytime of the day, every day of the week (not just weekend brunch!). Instead, you order dim sum items individually, and the kitchen makes each item to-order. It is a tiny, unassuming restaurant in the middle of Chinatown. Winsor is completely the opposite of Hei La Moon. The other place, which I only heard about more recently, is Winsor Dim Sum Cafe. It's a place that's popular for weddings as well as large group functions. One is Hei La Moon, a huge, bustling two-story restaurant in Chinatown that serves dim sum the tradition way, where servers roll carts full of dim sum to all the tables, tempting diners with visual displays of all the enticing dishes. ![]()
