What to order at Dim Sum Box
Don't overthink it.
Chicken Feet (Phoenix Claw)
Start with thisHuge, plump, and gelatinous with outstanding texture. The seasoning is lighter and less salty than at many dim sum spots.
Siu Mai (Shumai)
Bouncy and shrimp-forward with a soft wrapper and fish roe on top. The pieces were noticeably large.
Spare Ribs with Black Bean
Meaty pieces with very little bone, a touch of black bean, and a savory sauce. The pork was especially tender.
Har Gow
Large shrimp dumplings packed generously with shrimp and kept mild enough for the filling to stand out.
What we'd do at Dim Sum Box
"Mark the classics on the order sheet and let them steam everything fresh. The textures (especially the chicken feet, siu mai, and har gow) are the reason to come."
