This is where the Dim Sum Foundation group meets for Sunday brunches—clearly the restaurant has their dim sum done right. The menu is extensive, but pass the overwhelming variety and head straight for the dim sum; everything from the hargao to siewmai is done perfectly.
Dim Sum Delight
Most eateries with massive menus have spelled their downfalls even before guests warm their seats. Tang Yuan, a red and gold banquet-style restaurant, focuses on Cantonese cuisine’s greatest hits that are consistently fresh, flavorful and fulfilling. Our advice is to skip the hard-cover menu, packed with colorful photos displaying expensive delicacies like shark’s fin, and ask for the fill-in-the-box paper dim sum list. Here you can order a hefty pile of fresh, crunchy baichuo jielan (¥20), or Chinese kale, drizzled with soy sauce, or jiuwang xianxia chang (¥22), steamed shrimp rolled in a delicate but chewy rice noodle. A big plate of ganchao niuhe (¥32) is a dream of a noodle dish—fat, flat pasta strips interspersed with beef, green onions, white onions and bean sprouts for a fun chewy-crunchy texture mix sure to fill you up. We enjoyed gansunliu shaobao (¥14), sweet fried bread rolls filled with a sugary paste, as a sweet, finishing touch. Tang Yuan is a good spot for lunch, or brunch if you’re in the vicinity.
