Having Dim Sum becomes our routine weekend brunch now and last week we went to Golden Unicorn, located on East Broadway and Catherine, on the second floor. Their dim sum are good, I won’t say excellent. The (Har Kau) Shrimp Dumplings are a bit too crazy on the MSG. The pork buns are good. I like ... Read More

Flushing is the place to go for dim sum, but we were in Chinatown on Saturday, so we gave Golden Unicorn Golden Unicorn a try. Lon and I got our own little table (two tops are rare at dim sum), and there was no wait at prime time (a sign of the economy). We started with Shrimp wrapped in Rice Noodle... Read More

Marty and I headed over to Golden Unicorn last weekend to try out their Dim Sum. Up to this point, our NYC dim sum cravings have been satisfied at Ping’s Seafood.

Last year we figured out that the city is desserted on Labor Day weekend. So it's a good time to eat out. We started off Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend at the Greenmarket, which was less crazy than it usually is. We picked up some blackberry jam because our current supply was running out. We...

I untie the string and rush to pull the wrapper apart to discover the details of today’s gift. It’s not what most would consider a typical present but zhong, a mound of sticky rice that’s one of my favorite foods from childhood.

After trying Ping's Seafood and the Golden Unicorn, I was still looking for more out of my NYC dim sum experience. Ping’s is too cramped, and although the quality is good, variety is limited. The Golden Unicorn, on the other hand, is spread out with many more carts whizzing around, but a few of my... Read More
