Service is efficient but not skilled the clash of crockery being dumped into bins when they clear the tables is quite noticeable.

The "crystal dumplings w/ duck" were filled w/ shrimp instead of duck and had a gelatinous coating (taro?) that made them extremely difficult to eat as they kept sliding out of the chopsticks until I cut them with a spoon. The skinny fried egg rolls had a nasty rancid taste to them. My companion complained that it was not as flavorful as he would like but I enjoyed it. The entree was easily the best dish with shrimp, squid and pieces of scallop in addition to 3 kinds of mushrooms and celery (a lot), snow peas, scallion and carrot pieces. They give you a menu w/ little photos of the dim sum on offer and this is why I wonder if there's a factory off-site producing them for multiple restaurants: the menu is very similar or maybe even identical to MingHin's and other Chinese restaurants we've eaten at.Īfter perusing the menu, we ordered 4 dim sum plates and an entree-size plate of seafood w/ mushrooms. At 12:45pm the place was bustling and we had about a 5-minute wait for a 2-top. It's up a flight of stairs on the upper level of the Chinatown Square Mall. MingHin is our go-to Chinese restaurant but Cai has been recommended several times so we gave it a try for a weekday lunch.
