Jun Bo
$$$ | Chinese

This 600-seat Chinese powerhouse features plenty of dim sum and a huge menu. Try anything from the dim sum cart, the fresh whole fish served in a dozen guises, or the buttery melt-in-your-mouth champagne short ribs, or the crunchy and spicy Hong Kong-style lobster, crab, or shrimp, and you will be delighted. Skip the Chinese-American menu. But don't skip the pea tips with Chinese mushrooms.

Trendy cuisines come and go, but Cantonese is still one of my favorites, so I am in pig heaven at Jun Bo.

Avoid the American-Chinese menu and focus on the traditional menu, which is offered to everyone. Start with the dim sum and move on to fried quail, then family-style soups, especially the watercress-pork and seafood- bean curd. Order anything served Hong Kong-style-crisp-fried, then wok-tossed with garlic and hot chilies.

Any Chinese restaurant worth its five-spice powder serves dim sum, a boisterous brunch of bite-size noshings: spring rolls, pot stickers, rice-noodle rolls, buns, and the like. The new Jun Bo, located in a ketchup-and-mustard-colored building in Richfield, serves dim sum on par with that found in the Chinatowns of New York and San Francisco.

I'm not going out on a limb to say this is the best Chinese in town, because it's nowhere near Tea House or Little Szechuan. Jun Bo serves standard to good versions of each of the dim sum we tried ...

Despite its location on I-494 and Nicollet, entering Jun Bo makes you feel like you're in Chinatown in NYC. Welcomed by a fish tank and hostesses in red silk dresses, you enter into a large space that can hold 400+ people filled with family style tables, wood paneling, red carpet, and red chairs.
