@1.30dimsumsg is the McDonald’s of dim sum: it’s not very good, but it’s everywhere, and it’s cheap. They had my back when I was a broke man with only two dollars in my pocket, and they have my gratitude for that. But unlike McDonald’s, they actually have some variety.⠀

Yes, every single selection is only a dollar and thirty cents. This trio of dim sum classics that are a good metric to judge any dim sum place off of are all $1.30 a basket. The siew mai (the yellow dumplings on the plate) were banally bland, but at least they had a good size to them. The pork ribs over-performed for their price tag, being acceptably tasty and somewhat tender too. The skin on the har gow was pretty terrible as it came already broken and a bit hard, not gonna lie, but the shrimp filling was surprisingly delicious. Plus, the size of each dumpling was pretty generous too.⠀
