Vegetarian Dim Sum House in Chinatown Can Be Enjoyed by All

I spent a lot of time in Beijing last summer and I'm pretty sure the mock roast pork buns are really called baozi (pronounced "Bowza"). We got them for breakfast most mornings (10 for the equivalent of $1!) and they are usually filled with a red bean past or some type of ground meat/veggie mix. I've been looking for them in the US ever since -- I gotta check this place out.

I love this place. My only problem is that all the mock meat stir frys taste the same and some items are way too sugar sweet (sesame tofu). But the Dim sums are perfect. I usually get a variety of those with an order of their really good, Singapore mei fun.

@JessApril, Yeah, baozi is the name for all kinds of buns, baked, steamed or otherwise; for example, a roast pork bun is called "cha siu bao" and the red beans ones are "dou sha bao" (I love red bean buns!)....etc. Chinese bakeries always have buns if you don't wanna go to a restaurant. :) Chinese grocery stores also sell frozen ones in case you wanna stock up on them, hehe.
