1) New Fortune, Rockville, MD: This is as close to the real deal in dim sum as I have seen in DC. The place is a football field of cheap round and square tables that on Saturday nights often hosts a really bad band playing covers of really bad music. The dim sum, however, is delightful. There are a dozen or so dim sum carts being pushed around with scores of varieties of authentic dim sum: dumplings; shrimp in a dozen forms; BBQ pork; duck and the list goes on. The service is very pushy and that gives the overall experience something worth doing.
2) Cafe Atlantico, Washington, DC: Okay, this isn't really dim sum but they call it Nuevo Latin Dim Sum and it is fantastic! Most of the dishes were created at the Mini Bar, a personal favorite, so there is everything from empanadas to creamed potatoes. One of the best parts of the Cafe experience is the service and the amazing drinks.
3) Ping Pong, Washington, DC: This is really a no brainer, Ping Pong has great dim sum all week long so going here on Sunday isn't anything special. Having said that, when I think of dim sum, Ping Pong is high on the list. The sake selection is great too.
