Yamcha! It means "drink tea" which is what you do when you eat dim sum. The great Chinese meal celebration where restaurants become living Bruegel paintings of clamor and cuisine. A mob of happy people gathered together to eat, chat, laugh and have fun. It is always a festival. Get a seat near the kitchen door as the food is freshest on the cart when it comes out of the kitchen. This was past noon when things had slowed down and the selection was less. But you can bet that those dumplings were good. Pork in the yellow flour wrapper, shrimp in the white rice flour wrapper.

Two buddies and I have a quest to find the bad dish on the menu of New Garden Asian Cuisine in Seaside, OR. We meet about once a month and order a dish each and "one for the table" which is a traditional route to overindulgence. We have been trying for at least a year with no luck on finding the bad dish. But you can see that we have been having some good ones. ;o)

Here is an "at the edge" type photo of a Little League player in his dugout.

Silver Ball. Logan has organized the Astoria Tuesday Night Pinball League and this is from my first visit while they were shootiing. That's Logan with his hat on backwards. It helps him shoot. ;o)

You can get good dim sum in Seaside? Chinese food in America IMHO has declined over the decades and finding a good restaurant hasn’t been easy and I live in California. If it’s this good we’ll have to swing by on our next roadtrip instead of going east from Newport.Yamcha! It means "drink tea" which is what you do when you eat dim sum.

New Asia Garden in Seaside is very good. I lived in the SF Bay Area for ~20 years, was the token white guy at our crew's Thursday Chinese lunch, been to HK ad PRC. The Seaside joint is good enough for the SF Bay Area. Dim Sum is the Hong King Cafe in PDX. My rule of thumb is on busy Saturdays when grandma is along, will she stand outside with the family to wait for a table? If she will it is a good place because grandma will tell you out loud if it is lousy. Hong Kong Cafe is the current Chinese hot spot for dim sum. I get nervous as hell when the wait staff is not Chinese and you order from a menu. No, no, no. Pick from a cart pushed by a lady of a certain age who is struggling in her ESL classes. Loud, bright and crowded, that's the spot. You know that. ;o)

Thanks for the recommendation. We love the Oregon coast and had looked at property at Yachats. Looking forward to good food.

New Asia Garden has red flags all over it. It is in a small shopping center. It is next to a merry-go-round. Your instincts say to run like hell. The food is great. The owners are very nice folks. I was working with one woman from HK whose family had restaurants and bakeries there. She taught me two things: 1) You can't eat the decorations and, 2) You only have to have one bad meal in a restaurant. New Asia Garden is an unlikely keeper. I have been going back for around 10 years now.
