Hang Ah Tea Room

To continue our Chinatown adventure, we went to Hang Ah Tea Room, the oldest Dim Sum restaurant in America! It opened in 1920, and has switched multiple owners and has had slight changes to the menu, but the history of it remains the same. It has the old lively charm that brings in both the new and the old. Enticed by the title it holds, we decided to check it out. These dishes were shared by me and my mom. We had pretty traditional dim sum dishes, including soup dumplings, fried radish cake, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, bbq pork buns, and marinated chicken feet. The food here is all pretty average, and nothing really stood out. I didn’t eat the chicken feet because I don’t like the idea of it, but I ate all the other dishes. Nothing was extraordinary, but it wasn’t completely horrible either. Overall, it was just the idea of going to the oldest Dim Sum house in America that enticed me, but actually eating at it was not anything special.
