Russell's Seafood Palace in Irvine (DIM SUM)Howdy, folks! Some of us took a little dim sum trip to Russell's Seafood Palace in Irvine and thought you should try it if you have not yet had the opportunity to do so... RECOMMENDATION SCORE : () () () () Russell's Seafood Palace REVIEW: We thought the food was great: both experienced dim sum diners and newbies all loved the dishes. Although the venue was unusual for a Chinese restaurant (booths, dark cherrywood...), Russell's did have authentic dim sum dishes pushed around the room in steaming carts. Tasty morsels included the typical steamed dumplings and tidbits such as har gao, shu mai, taro dishes, cheong fun, bao, etc. as well as some of the more exotic dishes. We also had tea and soft drinks but did not try anything from the regular menu. Unfortunately, the number of carts was low and we spent a little time waiting between dishes, but we don't know if that's typical. The room layout did not permit carts to run laps, but we all managed to gorge ourselves and have a good time. Some folks said they like the food at Russell's more than some of the few other local dim sum choices. I'm definitely going back again... hopefully soon! Russell's Seafood Palace is located on Main, just across the 405 right on the corner of MacArthur and Main. From UCI... --Steve T.
