Ocean Palace

Ocean Palace is quite literally a palace. The Chinatown institution is the largest dim sum restaurant in Houston and runs at full tilt, especially during weekend brunch. Expect all the delicious dim sum regulars: pork shu mai, turnip cake, har gow shrimp dumplings, those fun crispy crab croquettes with the little claw sticking out, and a seemingly infinite amount more. Pluck what you want from the carts whipping around the enormous  dining room, or mark down what you want from the menu on the table. Go with a group of five or fifty–Ocean Palace can handle it.
