Winsor Dim Sum Cafe

South End & Chinatown


The shrimp dumplings and steamed pork buns are highly recommended at this no-nonsense Chinatown favorite. The downside is that there are no pushcarts to choose your food from – the place is too small for them to fit! Instead you have to pre-order from a menu with photographs. The upside is that the food is freshly made to order and delicious.
