Chau Chow City Restaurant Description:
Large, popular dim sum spot with dining on three floors. Also offers Cantonese/Hong Kong style dishes, with an emphasis on seafood. The third floor has the largest seating area.
The first two floors of Chau Chow City showcase floppingly fresh seafood, from abalone and conch to sea bass; the third floor serves that edible stream-of-consciousness treat known as dim-sum---which keeps coming and coming, from the basic (shrimp dumplings) to the exotic (duck's feet; snails swimming in garlicky broth). Think of Chau Chow City as a superstore for the chow mein set. We say head for the seafood and mainly the house specials. Scallops are a thing of beauty when served in their shell and napped with black bean sauce. Honey-glazed walnut shrimp prove addictively candy-sweet. Braised squab with pineapple and honey is a worthy diversion from the swimmers---and speaking of diversions, get a load of the crowds in the wee hours, swarming in after the clubs close.
