Got a craving today. Any recommendations? Where do you go for the good stuff? And where do you go for the quick and cheap stuff? What dishes do you like the best?

Re: Downtown Dim Sum
I hope you get this in time, Zarquo:
There's this place called Mei Sum; I think it's at the corner of Smith and Pauahi. Unlike a lot of other places where you have to wait for something to come out on a cart and you don't know what it'll be, you can order dim sum right off the menu.
The potstickers are excellent--flavorful and fresh-tasting.
But you really gotta go there for the taro gok. It's a deep-fried potato-croquette-kinda thing, but it's taro rather than potato, and it has a pork filling. Rather than breadcrumbs, it's fried in some kind of orange filamenty stuff. Sublime, I tellya. You might get two orders of it if you're eating with a few people.
There are other good things there, but these are the two I give my big recommendations on.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Originally posted by EricIt's not downtown, but Hee Hing on Kapahulu has a great dim sum selection. The jin dui is to die for; really crispy and fluffy, with a wonderful sesame seed coating. How do they get it to puff up like that, anyway?
