Many Chinese restaurants are known for loud, rude service, but at Fook Lam, the waitresses are friendly and everything you order is a “good choice!” Folks here offer a hybrid of cart service and à la carte menu, so you can supplement your dim sum with heartier plates of noodles and meats.

In addition to steamed or fried dumplings, order the X.O. turnip cake and curry tendon; and save room for light, fluffy jin dui, which is so good the Goo Society orders from here during Night in Chinatown if it runs out at its booth.

You’ll walk out of here full for $12 to $20 per person, depending on what you eat.
