Harbor Village's dim sum is actually pretty good, but I have to warn you that
a lot of college students go there on weekends.  I waited for at least
45 minutes last time I was there on Sunday.  My friends and I almost went
to the restaurant right next to it, but we heard the food isn't that good.
Dinner at Harbor Village is expansive.  The dishes are all over priced.  I
spent $50-$60 for two persons.  I was still feeling unsatisfied after the meal.
I guess I didn't order their novelty dishes like shark's fin or 'nest soup'
(the secretion from birds making the nest).  Of course, that would probably
cost a lot more.  Recommendation from my friends - ABC restaurant in Chinatown
is very good.  I guess I would try ABC's dim sum in the near future too.
