but probably the best Traditional Dim Sum in New York. Service is basic, but very efficient, food quality and unbeatable prices are there too. Not necessarily for a romantic dinner... but ideal for a Dim Sum lunch. ...?

"cheap Chinese" that won't break your bank, even in this time of so many broken banks. Somehow even the delivery tastes like it's just been served tableside. Whatever their secret, more restaurants should take tips from Our Place on preparation and transportation of excellent food. ...?

Let me preface this by saying that I am as low maintenance a customer as they come. I have much sympathy for wait staff and rude obnoxious customers. I try to be as nice as possible to my server and have never complained about poor service. A female friend and I walked in today at 2:57. We had seen the menu outside.with lunch specials until 3. The waiter gave us a dim sum menu instead and said the outside, cheaper menu was invalid (bait and switch anyone?). Fine, I asked to order the lunch special and the waiter said it was past 3:00. I told him it was exactly 3:00, not exactly pressing the issue. He leaves in a huff, comes back and says ok. I asked for chicken with cashews with soup and roll and an extra dim sum dish of spring rolls. He goes to the kitchen and returns 10 minutes later. My friend orders a soup and the waiter sneers and says that she should just take my soup (to imply that I'm cheap). I do my best to ignore it and we order dim sum. He tells us that dim sum is NOT ...? More ?
