Comments (0) Best Chinese (Southern) - 2012
New Spring Garden
Brooklyn's Sunset Park might now have outpaced Manhattan's Chinatown in the excellence of its dim sum. New Spring Garden is the most recent contender out of the gate, a massive entertainment hall that's slightly over the border in Dyker Heights. The southern menu highlights such pricey Cantonese standards as shark-fin soup, abalone, and sea cucumber at appropriately high prices, but the pristine dim sum—which comes rolling by on carts seven days a week till about 2 p.m.—is cheapness itself. Thrill to perfect steamed pork bao, black bean spareribs, shrimp har gow, and, best of all, ja leung—a cruller wrapped inside a rice noodle squirted with dark, salty sauce. 912 65th Street, Brooklyn, 718-680-2278 (11219)
