We visited around 2pm. At that time, there weren't many customers eating, but many people who worked nearby were drinking tea.

Once we ordered, the staff served side dishes, soy sauce, and tea. The fragrant tea really tasted like the tea they have in Hong Kong.

It's nice that you don't have to wait until all of your food is ready for your dishes to start coming out.

Since we tried the a la carte menu last time, this time we got the DingDim Deluxe Set B. We also ordered lo bak go (turnip cake) and a DingDim rice bowl.

The set meal includes 2 har gow (shrimp dumplings), 2 siu mai (shrimp and pork dumplings), 2 gao choi gao (shrimp and chive dumplings), 1 spring roll, 2 baked char siu bao (barbecue pork bun), and 1 lo mai gai (lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice with chicken).

There were many varieties of dumplings and two pieces of each, which was okay since they were pretty big.

The shrimp dumplings are crystal clear, have thin skin and savory meat, and super delicious. Don't forget to dip it in soy sauce.

The lotus wrapped sticky rice was huge and like the name suggests, the rice inside was very sticky. It's pretty hard to find in Korea and was so tasty!

The barbecue pork buns were a little different from the original Hong Kong style. They were a little too sweet, but still pretty good.

The restaurant manager recommended this dish to us. It's shrimp cake, egg, and soy sauce over rice.

It smelled delicious as soon as it arrived. Make sure to mix it together well before eating.

In Hong Kong, you'll normally find lots of barbecue pork or duck over rice and roast chicken over rice, but this Korean-style shrimp cake over rice was unique and amazing.

The shrimp was really crispy and the ingredients all went so well together. We definitely recommend this, it's a must-try!
