Koi Palace 鯉魚門海鮮茶寮 (Koi Palace)
At 500 seats strong, Koi Palace is huge (and, subsequently, doesn't have dim sum carts). Shanghai crab broth- and pork-filled dumplings are the studs, and your best bet is to order in a large group so you also get a whole fried crab with the dumplings. Make sure to go on a weekday, when there’s no wait!

At 400+ seats strong, Koi Palace makes a Vegas Strip restaurant seem like an intimate wine bar. Luckily, there are no carts—otherwise, they’d need stoplights. This dim sum mecca is popular for a reason, and you’ll be happy with everything you order, but the Shanghai crab broth and pork-filled dumplings—the ultimate dough-filled example of surf and turf—are just two of the shining stars, best ordered in a large group, so you also get a whole fried crab with the dumplings. If you’re hesitant about molasses-sweet Stewed Chicken Feet or Stewed Tripe, now’s the time to try them. Oh, and if you are long-line averse or tend to get hungry, do not go on a weekend. Just don’t. On a weekday, there’s no wait.
