88 Palace

Went to 88 palace today. Right under the Manhattan Bridge. Used to be known as 888 palace, or triple eights. Used to go here a lot, but last two times I was pretty unhappy. Cold uninspired food with no variety and little or no unusual choices. This time I was happy happy. A dish I had never seen before. Not sure what it was called, but it was a spicy taro dish with red peppers. Yummy. Almost everything was hot and fresh. I'm sure it's hard to keep bringing out fresh things. They have to try to sell through on items, because dim sum can't be reheated as far as I know. Carts end up coming around multiple time with the same items. Things can become cold, or badly over steamed. I was impressed by change from my last visit. It will not be so long until I return. I hope they can maintain this level of quality.
