Jin Cheng is right on the next block from my Dad's office, yet today was the first time we ate there. I've probably passed by it hundreds of times. So it's just odd that we never ate there before! It's probably the most convenient restaurant to go to. It's pretty comfortable for a weekday dim sum since it's away from the Roosevelt/Main St. intersection. The office workers on lunch break wouldn't make the effort to move past Union.
The dim sum didn't have the variety that competing restaurants do, but the taste was OK at least. Portions were average to large. Some thoughts...
- siu mai - tasted great, but poorly crafted. The meat kept sliding out of the skin
- shrimp dumplings - average
- pork ribs - poor... more fat than meat
- fish head - original and actually good... great sauce. I usually don't eat fish head.
- squid - average
- radish cake - very fresh
The only thing lacking in this restaurant was the environment. It's a little dirty with flies, which probably factored into the NYC "B" rating.
