Dine & Dash at Dim Sum House - Value Dim Sum and Chinese Standards
Hawaii Diner Staff & The Ozawa Family
March 2006

Despite the arrival of a fancy dim sum spot just around the corner, your money may be better spent at Dim Sum House. We tried several dim sum and Ryan, who recently dined at the expensive, contemporary spot, was hard pressed to figure out why someone would pay three times as much - if the food was what you were interested in. Noted Chinese food expert and historian, Anthony Chang, informed me that the reason the dim sum is so good is the cook/owner comes from Legends (Honolulu's premier dim sum restaurant), and has a standing offer to return should he so wish. Basic dim sum is just $1.85 for three pieces. The menu also features a broad selection of Chinese dishes and the daily specials ring in at just $4.50 so you can eat well for very little money. Building owner, Jim Steiner, likes the Bittermelon Stuffed with Ground Pork in Black Bean Sauce.
