Chef and owner Hoi Fung, a Hong Kong transplant, is from a family of serious chefs. The menu lists 400-plus items, including seafood selections from six aquariums in the front of the room. The menu is sophisticated, as are the customers. A mundane-sounding dish like scallops with garlic turns out to be made from live scallops, quick-steamed and served in their shells. The city's most interesting dim sum is served here on the weekends. You can also order dim sum from a more limited menu on weekdays. (Dim sum is served from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

    By Robb Walsh | Thu, January 27, 2005

    "There's someone back in that kitchen whose only job is to mince and toast garlic," surmised my tablemate as we demolished a mess of soft-shell crabs in the cushy pink confines of Fung's Kitchen. She sounded very pleased at this notion. I understo... More >
