Dim Sum

1. Jade Asian…

Neighborhood: Queens/Downtown Flushing

5. Wok City

Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

of sesame flavor, but it didn't, and they do give you a good handful of the meat.  I also ordered a small-sized chicken lo mein, which I thought was a good tub-sized (I wonder what their large-sized tub...
