Chao Dian 嘲点

Decorated in red leather and dark wood, the softly lit two-story Chao Dian in The Village at Sanlitun offers delectable Hong Kong style fare with quick and attentive service. The 44-dish dim sum menu (RMB 6-18) features all the usual favorites. The steamed BBQ pork buns (RMB 16) are heartily filled, while the steamed rice roll with shrimp (RMB 16) is equally scrumptious. If you can’t decide, order the house platter – shao-mai, shrimp, Shanghainese and vegetable dumplings – for RMB 48. The regular menu is also well stocked, with no dish exceeding RMB 48. The steamed egg with dried scallops (RMB 38) is light and savory, while the assorted brined meats with jellyfish (RMB 48) are lush and flavorful. Open late, Chao Dian is great for a quick affordable bite to satisfy any Cantonese craving.
