![]() So freakin’ delicious! Everything else was pretty good. Not pictured are some pork and ginger pot stickers we got. Included are: garlic veggies, shrimp dumplings, shu mai, another kind of dumpling?, and some runny custard buns (a sweet dessert). Attached is a picture of everything we ate. Food/Pricing: Yum! Dim sum for breakfast is perfect. It’s hard if you know what you want but don’t know what it’s called, but if you describe something to a waitress pushing the cart, they’ll pull out dishes that might be close to what you’re looking for, if not what you’re looking for. The waiters were nice and we got pretty much everything we wanted. I love cart dim sum because waiters just go around pushing the cart and offering you various dishes. Restaurant was getting real busy after that too. ![]() Service: We went for breakfast ( 10: 30 am) and were seated immediately. ![]() Not sure though :) It’s pretty loud in there with the hustle and bustle, but not overbearingly so. It definitely looks «fancy» for Asian restaurant standards it looked like a place the holds more traditional Asian wedding receptions. Location/Atmosphere: can’t say much about the location as I’m not from around the area, but the place was nice and clean. 5÷ 5, but alas, you cannot give half stars. Hi from Washington State! The Bae and I visited Ocean City during a weekend trip I took to Portland recently. Also I want to try more of the offerings that i was too full to taste on this visit. I will for sure be returning to Ocean City the next time i have a Dim Sum craving. The only downside to this place is when you want them to add up your bill - it was like pulling teeth to flag someone down for us to pay. All were delicious and hot! 4 people ate until we were very full and the bill was only $ 28! Such a deal. Some of the things we ordered were the BBQ Pork buns, rice in the leaves (which come with meat in them too), meatballs, ginger chicken dumplings, beef dumplings, rice noodles… Just to name a few. It was typical Dim Sum options and service - ladies push carts around, you asked what they have, they show you, if it looks good you say yes, or wait for another cart with different options. We got a table, but not soon after we were seated was the entire place packed. I arrived with a party of 4 on a Tuesday, and it was crowded already! They have a decently sized parking lot which was a welcomed sight. I had been craving Dim Sum for weeks, and finally quelled my craving. I was so pleased with my visit to Ocean City. It’s a good item to bring to pot lucks because they can sit out for hours and most people like them although they do have pork in them. It was pretty good, ample tasty filling with light pastry. Overall the dim sum was average, not great, but not terrible either with the exception of the baked char siu bao which I would return to purchase. Unfortunately mediocre service is the norm at dim sum restaurants. Service was surprisingly good and they didn’t screw up my take out order. Thick doughy skins, filling not really flavorful, reminds me of the take out dim sum at the 99 Ranch Markets. So of the 4 items I would rate: har gow 3/ 5, sui mai 3/ 5, bean curd roll 3/ 5, pot sticker 3/ 5, baked char siu bao 4⁄ 5. I am part Chinese so the dine in cart experience is no big deal and something I only do if I am with a group. I am going to take out at all of the restaurants because that’s what we usually do. I decided to get the same 5 items at each of the restaurants on the tour for a fair comparison. I was picking up some stuff at Fubonn to make bahn mi and decided to get some take out dim sum. OCSR is an OK venue 1 block from the Fubonn asian market. I’ve eaten a ton of dim sum because it is one of the main things Chinese families do as far as socialization, eat eat eat then eat some more. 3 rd Place 2016 PDX Take Out Dim Sum Throwdown So this is my first stop on my PDX dim sum tour.
