8/14/2023 0 Comments Jing fong chinatownJing Fong restaurant is quite a unique experience where once might be enough. I did enjoy the garlicky sauteed Chinese greens in oyster sauce ($12.95). I was not a fan of the sinewy and fatty steamed baby ribs cut into tiny bite-size pieces ($3.95), the tripe (I prefer that in pepper pot soup) or the tasteless fish balls ($4.75 for 4). Although they skimp on the filling, the flavor was good ($3.95 for three). Also worth trying are the shrimp and pork dumplings ( sui mai $3.95 for 4), shrimp dumplings ( har gow $4.75 for 4) and the barbecue roast pork buns ( char shu bow). My favorites were the shrimp spring rolls that were crisp outside with a filling where I could actually taste and feel the texture of the shrimp. Once you select one, the waiter places it on your table and stamps your card with either an S ($3.50), M ($3.95), L ($4.75) or SP ($6.75) that is tallied to calculate your bill when you check out!

Along one side of the cavernous room, there’s also a cafeteria-like line with other offerings that we didn’t visit. For some, Jing Fong might be intimidating: It’s marked by giant escalators, a vast dining room and walkie-talkietoting waiters marshalling diners. If you’re not as lucky, you just look and pick - often wondering what’s inside the 100+ dim sum (ranging from $3.50 to $6.75) they’re serving. Now, this is where I was lucky to have someone who spoke the same language as the waiters who quickly push carts with steamer baskets filled with dim sum around the room until someone stops them. Once your number is finally called, you ascend a long escalator to the mammoth dining room where you are seated with strangers at a large round table, given a card and wait. Since ours was over 30 minutes, we went around the corner to for bubble tea at Ten Ren. When you arrive, you need to push through the crowds to get inside to where a hostess gives you a number. Lucky me going to Jing Fong old-fashioned Chinese dim sum restaurant with one of my friends who speaks their language.
