![]() We have been to many low volume Dim Sum joints where we were served cold food. It all came out piping hot, which is nice. Since there were only a few other diners in the restaurant, the Dim Sum was all made to order. I liked the shrimp although they were a bit tough from too much cooking. I was a bit sketched out about how they could server a scoop of more than a dozen shrimp for $2. The shrimp were shell-on, non-battered, sweet and sour shrimp, the non-Americanized real-deal. It was a nice combination but did suffer from sitting in a warming tray for some unknown period of time. The BBQ pork was decent and the bitter melon was soft and.bitter. Both were interesting and neither was something you would find on a typical American Chinese menu. As to the other two claims, I cannot vouch for the freshness of the scoops, although I would guess not, but it was in fact food. The scoops were not hot, as advertised, but rather warm-ish. The $2 scoops were ample and served quickly. We ordered a scoop of each and a selection of Dim Sum. One was a sticky shrimp and one was BBQ pork and bitter melon. The "hot fresh food" is on display in a warming tray in the entryway. They also offer congee and noodles soups as well as a full dinner menu that we ignored per guiding principles. This is a nice option for inexperienced Dim Sum eaters. ![]() Instead of Dim Sum carts, Gom Hong uses the laminated picture menu. In addition to the scoops of food promised at the door, Gom Hong also offers Dim Sum. They have moved their market into one half and run Gom Hong out of the other half. The owners of a near-by market now run the place. The old China Gate has been split in two.
