Seafood Siomai

Scouting the new neighborhood for food options.

Even before the move, I’d had my eye on this place, which is always fairly busy — remarkable in a town where most restaurants tend to be completely empty.

Alas, the food turned out to be sub-par across the board.  Everything seemed like it had been prepared elsewhere, frozen and packaged, and then reheated upon order.  The siomai — technically, more pork than seafood — was the worst culprit, shame for a restaurant claiming to specialize in dimsum.  Oh well.
