Have dim sum for breakfast at Atlantic Seafood & Dim Sum

Women pushing silver carts weave through the tables, filling the dining room with the aroma of sweet baked char siu bao and roast duck. Atlantic Seafood & Dim Sum is one of the few remaining restaurants in the area that still uses the carts, where you can have the real dim sum experience of flagging down the har gao you want from across the room and order a steamer full of siu mai every time the cart passes. The siu mai, plump with steamed pork and nestled neatly into a crinkly wonton wrapper, are on every table. If the choices are overwhelming, the manager is happy to make suggestions or answer your questions about what’s in the vegetable dumplings. The sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, spare ribs, siu mai and ham sui gok (fried, pork-filled mochi balls) are all must-orders. There may be a wait for a table if you arrive during peak breakfast hours, between 8 and 10:30 a.m., but things move quickly.
