Dim Sum

1. China Max

2. Jasmine Bistro

Neighborhood: El Cajon

and another, a picture menu for dim sum.  For a first-timer, this variety can result in a bit of indecisiveness.  The dim sum food comes from the original "Jasmine" restaurant in Convoy.  So you know...

4. Shanghai City…

Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

onion pancake and noodles. The xiao long bao is so so, but not the best. Shanghai Chow mein is not bad, but can be oily. I like their Sweet Sour Ribs because I like to chew thru the bones and cartilage...

5. Sam Woo BBQ…

Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa
