Editorial Review

Bamboo Plaza grandfather of Hong Kong style dim sum palaces makes dem bow. Delicate, supreme preparations of Cantonese standards. Accommodates nearly 600 diners, employs 12 cooks, 19 dim sum specialists and three BBQ chefs to prepare intricate handmade delicacies (40 to 60 kinds every day). Quiet family dinners on weekdays, busy lunches every time. Spend the money for the Peking duck and Dungeness crab on garlic noodles, the Empress' best.
