Windsor Dimsum Cafe

About

Windsor Dim Sum Cafe is a Chinatown dim sum restaurant that looks modest from the outside but fills up inside, with communal tables often shared by multi-generational families. The menu covers the classics, including char siu bao steamed pork buns, har gow shrimp dumplings in chewy translucent wrappers, and cheung fun, steamed sheets of filled rice noodles served with sweet soy.

Beyond the dumplings and buns, the kitchen offers steamed pork ribs, chicken feet, tripe, and congee with preserved egg, served alongside youtiao, long strips of fried dough. Portions are small and dishes are modestly priced, so groups can share a wide spread and solo diners can still sample several plates. The format rewards sharing, since ordering widely is the easiest way to find favorites.
