Chang’s Hong Kong Cuisine
Chang’s is exactly how you want your dim sum house to be. It has a faux-pagoda exterior and a no-nonsense interior with roving dim sum carts steaming fresh from the kitchen. It’s a point-and-eat operation with little translation in between, but really, who needs to chew the fat when you can chew chicken feet instead? 4670 S. Decatur Blvd., 702-362-3663.
