HK Dim Sum

"Crammed into the first floor of the Don Huang Plaza of Chinatown, HK Dim Sum serves classic (but cartless) Cantonese-style dim sum. Unlike the other dim sum spots on this list, HK has a small dining room with only a couple group-friendly tables. We like to go here solo or for a quick lunch date, quickly mark choices on the order sheet, and eat mountains of fresh dumplings in near silence. HK serves all the classics: shumai, har gow, various steamed dumplings and buns, but we also like the chicken congee with thick hunks of ginger, especially on Houston’s rare cool and rainy afternoons." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
