SF Chinatown-style Dim Sum and Noodles Comes to OKC
On a whim, I stopped at a new Asian restaurant on Classen (3009 N Classen Blvd), the Hong Kong Dim Sum.
In the 1970s, I lived in the Bay area of Northern California for a couple of years, and my taste in Asian food was really formed by San Francisco's Chinatown. Well, I found those same tastes and styles at this new restaurant. I ordered a combination pan fried noodles, and it was HUGE. I only ate a third of it, and brought the rest home for two more meals.
They also have the traditional dim sum, complete with rolling tables and steamer cannisters just like they do in SF. And the price was much more reasonable than OKC's other dim sum, the Grand House on Sats and Suns. Hong Kong has dim sum every day they are open, all day (they are closed on Tuesdays). Their dim sum are priced at $2.15, $2.85, $3.65. I tried several, and they typically had 3 to 6 pieces on them The pan fried dumplings were "to die for" and are unlike any similar dumplings at other Asian restaurants in OKC. I spent too much money, but I brought some of everything home, so when divided by 3 meals, it wasn't so bad, hehehe.
They have a menu with pictures, and they were real good at explaining what's what.
Let's see, I tried the jalapeno's with shrimp (half a jalapeno with a large steamed shrimp in the middle, covered with a nice sauce), pan fried dumplings, turnip cakes (don't "turn up" your nose, these were very good, I dipped them in a brown sauce), and a pork and shrimp dumpling. Also custard tarts for dessert.
Hong Kong Dim Sum is a worthy addition to Oklahoma City's Asian cuisine that brings "something new" to the Classen area.
NO, I did not get any free food for writing this review. I just want to make sure they get enough bidness to stay in bidness.
