House of Joy

This traditional, cart-style dim sum spot has a long wait, but if you’d like to eat faster, they may offer to let you share a table with strangers—and doesn’t that sound fun? You and your tablemates can look out for trundling carts full of silky egg custard, red rice noodles and sweet black sesame rolls. The service is no-nonsense and, on busy weekend mornings, the carts may be a little slow, but that just gives you plenty of time to swap stories (and bites of steamed buns) with your new best friends.
