Description:

Shirley Lee and her husband Teng--both Hong Kong natives--are as enthusiastic a pair of restaurateurs as I know. Especially Shirley, who knows what you want before you do. Take her advice, and you'll get lots of good food you might have passed by. If you go for the dim sum, order a lot of it (I have eaten ten items in a sitting), and get at least one really exotic item (i.e., tripe, duck feet). This is a small, inexpensive, casual restaurant that's not shooting for the heights, but Teng cooks well with good ingredients and serves very generously.
