Dim Sum Palace
6600 Baltimore National Pike, Catonsville, MD For whatever reason, eating out has been very disappointing with the prices that are being charged these days. I am so fed up going to a quote on quote nice restaurant, I can expect to pay through the nose. Chinese food is no different but compared to Western style food its a bargain if you go to a traditional Chinese restaurant. Such is the case of Dim Sum Palace located in Catonsville, MD. My family loves Dim Sum and in Maryland, the only places that have a good Dim Sum places from where we live is about an hour away. In my contant quest looking for Dim Sum, this place came up and we decided to try it out. For a Sunday at around 12 pm, the wait time was about 15 minutes. I will mention that the prices for Dim Sum were a little higher than the average price. One look at the establishment was that it was contemporary in design and very clean. They had enough staff to take care of the little things that matter to the customers. Constantly offering napkins, free refill with drinks and hot tea and multiple carts of food strolling by. We ordered our favorite Dim Sum with Har Gow as my favorite and I noticed that they were slightly bigger than the average size Har Gow. Then we order Siu Mei which is a combination of ground pork and shrimp stuffed into a mini wonton wrapper, steamed spareribs with black bean, steamed roast pork bun, stuffed shrimp in pepper, sticky rice, fried stuffed taro, sesame ball with red bean inside and dried tofu wrapped around seasoned pork steamed. To top it off we had Beef Chow Fun but to me it was obvious that when this dish was made it was without stir frying the beef because it had no flavor at all, just precooked and tossed in the stir fry noodles. It was a very pleasurable, filling lunch, time to take a nap but for all that we ordered, it was worth it. What was missing was the small orders of vegetables, roast pork, roast duck, or fried squid but I understand the price for those items are very expensive. On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being excellent, I give Dim Sum Palace a 100. It was that good, well organized, fresh food that was perfect and service was very professional. You gotta try it.
