New Dim Sum Place!

I've been living in the Bay Area for over 6 years now and have had my fair share, (perhaps more than fair share) of excellent Dim Sum experiences. There's Koi Palace in Daly City, Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Milbrae, Loon Wah in Cupertino, and good old Ming's down the street in East Palo Alto. I've been to a few joints in Milpitas and Sunnyvale, so I figured I was well versed in what were the 'best' dim sum restaurants in the South Bay.

I have much to learn.

My new favorite place is now Hong Kong Saigon Seafood Harbor Restaurant (where I've basically put the following into my Yelp review). Yes, a 10 syllable, mouthful of a restaurant. Located in Sunnyvale, this place is inexpensive, pushy, rude, and dirty. And I love it all. By noon the place is packed, families and friends are chattering to each other, and the food is pushed around by pushy ladies who hawk the dishes like it's some sort of competition to get rid of them as fast as possible. The su mai is fresh, the pork buns are soft, and the pork spare ribs, oh my, the pork spare ribs are amazing! Once you enter the restaurant, it's like you're in Hong Kong all over again.

For any first timers - if you call ahead 15 minutes, you can get a number for a table. This is a highly valuable piece of paper that grants you eventual entrance into dim sum heaven.
