Mee Sum Cafe is a no-frills, cash-only spot in old Chinatown that offers delicious dim sum at incredibly low prices. The restaurant caters to both regular neighborhood customers and visitors looking for authentic, quick bites. The kitchen prepares all the food on-site, ensuring freshness and quality. Despite minimal service, the restaurant impresses with its speed, price, and variety of dishes. Customers praise the salted chicken, steamed pork spareribs, and shrimp fried egg, and recommend ordering from the long-serving server, Amey. The menu includes a range of dishes like rice with a touch of salt from the fish, fish slices, pork patty, eggs over rice, roast pork rice roll, and shrimp fried egg. Portions are sufficiently filling, making it a good value for money. The establishment has been serving the same quality food for over 25 years, now managed by the owner's younger generations, maintaining its classic, old-school atmosphere. While the space may seem crowded and simple, the food remains consistent, tasty, and affordable, making Mee Sum Cafe a must-visit for those seeking quick, authentic dim sum in a traditional setting.
