Profile

What do you get when a French-American food writer (Colette Rossant) collaborates with a Hong Kong chef (Guy Lieu)? Dumpling dough flavored with beet juice, seasoned beef patties on steamed buns with taro fries, roast chicken smothered with fried garlic stems, and more than 24 kinds of dumplings. Plus four variations on the dough-wrapper theme, four different sauces, and microwave-safe takeout containers. For a heartier meal, try a platter of the fluffy seafood fried rice (with lightly whisked eggs and slivers of apple-green broccoli stems) or the thin strips of salt-baked pork, fried into crinkly shapes like some strange form of ribbon candy. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Dim sum platter, $11.95 for ten pieces; roast chicken with fried garlic stems, $15.95; hamburger in a steamed bun with ginger sauce, $9.95

Went to Dim Sum Go GO for an early dinner. The place was pretty quiet. The dim sum is great and the main course dishes are awesome as well. I've spent a lot of time in mainland China and HK so my standards for Cantonese and other Chinese regional foods are quite stringent. The waiters were really nice and gave my fiance and I complementary desserts which were super tasty. Definitely is worth a visit.

Being half Cantonese and having lived in China for nearly 3 years, I've had my fair share of siu mei and har gou. The overwhelmingly positive reviews for this spot led us to lunch there today and, drab decor and seriously uncomfortable chairs aside, the praise is deserved. Expertly prepared, our favourites were the lightly pan-fried coarsely shredded turnip cakes, crispy spring rolls and delicately steamed prawn and chive dumplings. The only obvious disappointment was the entirely bland plate of black bean spare ribs, seasoned stingily with only 3 black beans. Our 6 dishes came to a bargain $23 and with much more on the menu to try, we'll definitely go go back.
