Jade Garden

For diners with exotic palates, this is one of the most popular spots in the International District (or perhaps the entire city). If the crowded restaurant lobby doesn't deter you, then you're in for a treat. Choose from a wide selection of Hong Kong-style dim sum as waiters push bamboo steamer-adorned carts past your table. The steamed pork buns are moist and perfectly salty-sweet, while the steamed shrimp dumplings are plump, firm and bursting with flavor. To finish up, be sure to try a dish of egg tarts, which exhibit perfect flaky pastry shells to go along with the smooth custard filling.
