This is VA and mine's go-to dim sum place in the city. There are probably more authentic places but since VA is such "close" friends with the owner, we always get to skip the line and get special treatment, which is always nice on the crowded dim sum weekends. The main difference between this place and most other dim sum places is that it's pretty small and tight, so there aren't a lot of carts being pushed around. There is usually just 1 cart that can fit around and then the rest of the dim sum is carried around by hand by the waitstaff. The food is usually pretty good and they have almost all of the usual dim sum staples, or at least the ones that I like to eat. The food is generally hot and pretty fresh tasting, which can be questionable at some of the larger other dim sum places. This place is also much cleaner than most chinatown places, which is a nice change of pace. I would like to explore other places in the city but I think this place does a good job of being our standard go-to. The best part of dim sum is that we must have gotten 8 or 9 dishes and it was $16/pp with tax and tip and we were definitely filled up. The one bad thing about dim sum is that it can be quite salty (or perhaps it's the MSG) and I must have drank at least 5 glasses of water while I was there.
