 Well I finally got to try their "dim sum buffet brunch" served sun.
 from 12 to 3 for 8.95 and was impressed mostly by the variety of foods.
 However, dim sum were in the minority.  Aside from the usual stuff there
 was a squid soup and a delicious cold, sweetish bean soup.  cold appetiz.
 included slices of pork/chicken/beef with seaweed(?) and tofu slices,
 sushi and various dumplings.  Hot appetizers included scallion pancakes,
 radish cakes (tasted like fish), more dumplings, and fried cheese-stuffed
 wontons, different main dishes included mussels in a spicy sauce,& beef
 stew(with cardomin (sp.?),Also, doughy buns filled with black
 bean stuff or ground pork.  There also were fried onion rings, french
 fries, soy milk, & lots of condiments.  Deserts included applie pie,
 almond jello with canned fruit salad, fried sort of doughnut holes, water-
 melon, and frozen soft ice cream.  I though the quality was good - maybe
 a tad greasy - but then I eat so little fat that it might have just been
 me.  The waitress' removed the used plates quickly and kept the water
 glasses filled- though didn't offer another pot of hot tea.  All in all,
 I good all-you-can eat bargain with lots of different items.

 this restaurant is on McKnight Road - opposite N.Hills Village -  give
 it a try.   :-)
