Shiang Garden


Food: * * * 1/2

Service: * 1/2

Update:
Pretty tasty dim sum, especially the har gow and siu mai. Some of the traditional dishes take on a new twist, like the sticky rice that isn't wrapped in lotus leaves but some sort of edible crepe instead. Dim sum menu is a bit limited in variety, but good quality for what you get. Ambiance is strangely pseudo-Victorian, complete with high ceilings, gilded fixtures, and paintings that look like they should have hung on Queen Victoria's walls. Service is horrifying; we did not get our food for over 30 minutes, despite the fact that the place was half-empty. When the dishes finally came, one server tried to take our food away to give to another waiting table. Mid-range affordability; not the priciest but not discount pricing either. Don't go here unless you've got some masochist blood running through your veins; the food is good but it's not worth the misery of the service.
