Dim Sum?

 We really like Chinese on Carson's Dim Sum.  The menu is smaller than
 TaiPei's but the quality is better (ie. I have gotten sick from Taipei's
 Dim Sum before).  Also if you are a price conscious student, Chinese on
 Carson is very reasonable.

 Depends upon what you mean by Dim Sum. If you mean the sort
 served from the carts, I know of no place that does so.

 If you are just referring to the type of food (but ordered from
 menus), the Tai Pai in Shadyside has good Dim Sum on Sundays.

 I know for sure that the New Dumpling House on Murray Ave. in Squirrel
 Hill serves a Dim-Sum menu from 11am-3pm Monday through Sunday.
 I have only tried it once and wasn't too impressed, because of having
 sampled the Dim-Sum in San Francisco on various occassions.
 However, they may have improved since I last went (about a year ago).

 I just wanted to thank everyone for all of their suggestions.  We have
 tried the New Dumpling House (I think that's its name) on Murray in
 Squirrel Hill.  While they didn't have a lot of the items we wanted,
 they did have some that were really, really tasty; unfortunately, it was
 a little more expensive than it is in San Francisco - there's a switch.
 We're probably going to try the Chinese on Carson place next.

 Thanks again!

 No, it's not from the carts, unfortunately.  There's a menu with about 20
 items (unfortunately they never have the fried sesame balls, which are among
 my favorite) and they usually just bring it out as it's done.

 I've been to Tai Pei in Shadyside for dinner and thought the food was
 disgusting...very Le Choi.

 as usual I have an opinion - Chineese on Carson has
 Dim sum an Sat & Sun morn -
 it is reasonable to me - been there my self and with friends
 it was no more expensive that regular Chineese - actually cheaper
 when ordering 4-5 things plus - I think it is good quality
 for what you get - this isn't China Town in a big city.

 Hong Kong in Dormont has dim sum the first Sunday
 of the month.  There's also Thai Place in Shadyside.
 Chinese on Carson also has dim sum on Sunday's but
 I don't like them very much.
