The one to order

Pork and leek shaomai, Beijing style, open-topped and frilled like a flower

The line to expect: Busy at weekend lunch with tour groups; dinner is quieter.

A shaomai house since 1738, named, the story goes, by an emperor who stopped in on New Year's Eve.

45 min · About 24, 4 people. The easiest dim sum to make at home: no pleating, just a wrapper cupped around a bouncy pork and shrimp filling. Store-bought wrappers are what most dim sum kitchens use too.
