On Time Seafood Restaurant

I was very relieved to get to the middle of our US and find a place with decent dim sum.  My adult son and I caught up here for lunch one day.. we are both accustomed to Washington DC dim sum, SF and LA dim sum.. We were tickled to find good choices, quality and a pleasant atmosphere.  Staff was helpful but not too in our visiting space.. I definitely will go back.

Decent variety represented in the dim sum menu, but the results were mediocre at best.  Some of the items suffered from a lack of seasoning, and some from just plain incorrect execution.  One item in particular (pan fried chive dumpling) was dripping in  hot oil (apparently from being deep fried).  

Quite pricey relative to other medium market cities.

The food here is positively amazing, a unique cultural experience unlike any other. Try as many different dishes as you can, especially the squirrel fish and cumin lamb. Turns out, I don't like pork intestines, but it was worth a shot. Good and a nice Japanese microbrew.

A heavy note of caution- the Waiters don't really speak English. Probably the only way to get the full experience of this place is to go with someone who speaks mandarin. Otherwise, your service will probably suck. Might explain all the bad reviews, but it gave it a nice sense of authenticity that I liked.
