Had a wonderful lunch yesterday (Sunday). Nice crowd with a large group of young asians (students??). We ordered chicken feet – just had to try them – great, tasty – braised in soy and anise. We had fresh snowpea shoots (wonder what happens after you pick the snow peas???) . Then steamed whole flounder in soy, ginger, coriander sauce – melt in your mouth delicious. Can’t wait til our next trip here. REAL CHINESE FOOD . YIPPEE

Just tried the Gold Dynasty Rest. yesterday afternoon. I’m of chinese descent and was excited to find “authentic” chinese food including dim sum served throughout the day. Hours are 11 am to 10 pm Mon -Sun.
The two dim sum dishes I tried ($3.25 each) braised chicken feet (sounds gross and takes time to get use to) were very good as were the steamed pork rib “bits” with garlic, preserved black bean and chilis. The highlight was snow pea shoots stir fried in a garlic sauce (pronounced dul meo) which you just can’t get any where. The last two pages of their menu has non-chineseamerican dishes listed. Separate dim sum menu. Hope they have lots of business. At last a great Hong Kong style restaurant

I will never understand the attraction, but god forbid you say something derogatory about the joint when you are with a group.

As for the public record search, real dim sum is worth the time.

I will thank you for the info JP, and refrain from making any comments about the name of the construction company. Also, Cooper just told me a story involving you — about the Columbia — that makes me feel we are kindred souls. Except, of course, you’re willing to pursue public records searches to identify the new dim sum place while I, obviously, am not.
Keep up the good work.
