The Steamer · 笼
Har gow, siu mai, xiao long bao and rice rolls, with congee and dessert alongside. The steamer-basket dishes diners keep naming in recent reviews.
New hands, same street
A family kitchen, new hands.
Dim Sum & Wok 蔡万厨房 is a small family-run kitchen, recently taken over by new owners. Regulars mention in reviews that the new owner and her son greet guests in person. The name says the rest: one line of bamboo steamers with har gow, siu mai and rice rolls, and one line of wok dishes led by beef ho fun.
The shop sits at 501 Princess Street, on the main downtown stretch of Kingston, and opens daily from 11 in the morning to 9 at night. If you have been looking for dim sum in Kingston, the steamer is on.
