Chinese (Dim Sum)

Probably one of my favorite Dim Sum places, it is located in Cupertino Village tucked behind a Ranch 99. They have a good variety of the standard fare of dim sum, and they constantly change their menu based on the season. There is a heavy use of seafood in their selections.

The dim sum service here is pretty good, meaning that the servers actually come by your table and stop, and are happy to show you what they have. Though their english descriptions can be vague ("seafood dumpling" springs to mind), there's only two carts westerners need to worry about: the one hawking the delicacies (chicken feet and other assorted animal parts) and the one carrying beef tripe.

Seating on Sundays can be nightmarish if you don't call ahead.
