How Did Some Of Your Favorites Rank?

Every Important Dim Sum Dish, Ranked

3. Pan-fried chive or leek dumplings (gow choi gau)
  • Crispy, juicy, intensely earthy... you can skip the Chinese broccoli if you eat your fill of these veggie dumplings.
4. Sticky rice in lotus leaf (lo mai gai)
  • Speckled with bits of chicken, sausage, and mushrooms, this is pretty much everything you love about fried rice, minus the grease, plus gift wrap.
7. Potstickers (guotie)
  • Similar to the old truism/meme about sex and pizza, even bad potstickers are worth having now and regretting later.
9. Open-face pork-and-shrimp dumplings (siu mai)
  • What har gow could be if they just made a little effort.
14. Deep-fried shrimp balls
  • Though mixed and bound with other ingredients like all meatballs, these taste purely of mildly sweet and juicy shrimp. Salty and greasy fried shrimp, but shrimp all the same.
