Dim sum is the great Cantonese-Vietnamese crossover — a weekend dining ritual that's as beloved by Vietnamese families as it is by Cantonese ones. In NYC, the dim sum scene spans Chinatown's landmark pushcart palaces to Flushing's modern teahouses. For Vietnamese families in the city, dim sum is a Sunday tradition: multi-generational tables filled with har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, char siu bao, and egg tarts, accompanied by endless pots of jasmine tea. While not Vietnamese in origin, dim sum is deeply woven into the fabric of Vietnamese-American dining, especially in cities with large Chinese-Vietnamese communities.
