text: Heading to the heart of Las Vegass Chinatown I am checking out Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant for their dim sum It is about pm on a Saturday and this restaurant is not as busy as I had hoped Not a good signnnMy friend and her dining companion are already enjoying their Pineapple Buns with Egg Custard when we arrive This is definitely a good sign I am not sure if the buns were hot when they came out since I arrived a bit late I enjoyed the sweetness of the custard but the BF found it to be too sweet for himnnWe ordered their standard shrimp dumplings and pork dumplings Both were standard They even had the Shanghai dumplings readily available as well They were tastier than Orchids Gardens version that is for sure httpwwwyelpcombizJuriiejUFwYCkfDfygQhridaURPFNJmzdieKsag And since the red vinegar is left out on the table you can feel free to drown it as much as you would likennWe also had Chinese broccoli shrimp on tofu crabshrimp puff thing shrimp rice noodle and chicken feet in black bean sauce All were pretty good We even had the salt and pepper shrimp that came right out of the kitchen so it was nice and hot nnThe downside Service was blah I mean really blah The ladies never smiled or showed any personality whatsoever And the guys working there were not that great either They refilled our teapot but left it on the far end of the table out of our reach One lady was very indifferent as she slid our order across our table They were quick to clean up our plates once the bill was settled which can be a good or bad thing It usually means they want you out of their fast so they can have the table backnnInstead of sending the carts to the back for refills they have waiters carrying a bunch of dishes in their hands or stacking them up and then placing them on a the cart I am not so sure this is visually appealing nnThe bill was about for four not including tip We found this to be a bit more expensive than Orchids Garden and Changs Hong Kong Cuisine since we know we ate less here The BF was not so sure we got the correct bill even since the guy handling all the checks seemed quite unorganizednnOverall the selection was there although lacking in desserts I did see the sweet tofu come out but no custard tarts They did have a few things that some of the other dim sum restaurants did not seem to have Sometimes you get the feeling they are really trying to push a dish on you I mean how often can the congee lady come by asking if we want congee Because the restaurant is a bit smaller and they do not push the carts into the back you will find the ladies idling by one side of the restaurant which was pretty much hanging out by our table They could really use a lesson or two in customer service If they can fix this a bit I might even be willing to give them a better score rather than a stiff star
