nom wah's turnip cake in xo sauce did not live up to expectations, but the other dim sum offerings, red leather banquets and rekindled childhood memories made the trip worthwhile. When I was a kid that little nook of doyers street WAS chinatown. nom wah was THE spot for weekend tea lunch. And I remember eating subgum wonton and crab with ginger and scallions next door (and down a steep flight of stairs) at Wo Kee when i was barely out of diapers. Randy was the manager and he smuggled me fortune cookies. More recently, it has been a Vietnamese restaurant (and a good one) for over thirty years.
Nom Wah, reportedly chinatown's oldest dim sum parlor, is back on my radar.
