I don;'t know the names, but if you go on main street they are all over there...

There's also a place in the flushing mall that does sushi and chinese on those revolving things that you take the food off of, and pay as you go...

I love dim sum from what I have tried. Ive seen how it is tradtionally done more in a teahouse settnig and they go around with carts and you take what you like. I figure we are in NY so there has to be someplace that does it authentically- but i have no clue where! Everytime I try to google for it I find regualr chinese restaurants that just have dumplings as like an appatizer...

Thanks! So they dont do dim sum all the time- just on weekends? This still may be easier than going to queens! So thank you for the info!
