Perfect Chinese Restaurant

Har Gow

Delicate steamed shrimp dumplings with near-translucent wrappers that hold their snap without tearing

Siu Mai

Open-top pork and shrimp dumplings, dense and juicy with a clean snap of pork fat on the finish

Turnip Cake (Lo Bak Go)

Pan-fried radish cake with a golden crust and soft, savory interior — worth ordering two plates

Cheung Fun (Rice Noodle Rolls)

Silky steamed rice sheets filled with shrimp or BBQ pork, dressed with sweet soy and sesame

Steamed Whole Fish

Cantonese-style whole fish finished tableside with a pour of hot oil, fresh ginger, and scallion — the centerpiece of a proper dinner here

Live Lobster with Ginger and Scallion

Market-priced live lobster stir-fried with ginger and scallion in the classic Cantonese style — straightforward and well-executed

Roast Duck

Cantonese roast duck with lacquered skin and clean rendered fat — best ordered as a half-duck portion over rice

Char Siu Bao (BBQ Pork Buns)

Steamed or baked pork buns filled with sweet-savory char siu — a reliable dim sum anchor

Congee

Cantonese rice porridge available with various proteins — comforting but unremarkable; order the dumplings first
