Dim sum carts are some of the most exciting things on four wheels—right up there with NASCAR and anything Dom Toretto drives. But in Austin, they’re a rare sight, unless you find yourself at Tian Tian Golden Palace near Braker and North Lamar. During daytime hours, servers whisk metal trollies loaded with baskets of steamed dumplings and buns through a packed banquet hall, pausing only to unload their treasures onto giant round tables. Get on the waitlist and make yourself comfy—this place gets busy, especially on weekends. Everybody is here for the best dim sum experience in town. But Tian Tian isn’t just a sunny dim sum destination—it’s also open for dinner seven nights a week, when the carts get swapped out for a massive menu of Cantonese-style seafood and other Chinese specialties. Whole fish and Dungeness crab get pulled straight from tanks in the back before hitting the wok, while giant platters of Peking duck arrive with an assortment of sauces, pancakes, and garnishes, ready to be assembled into perfectly composed bites. Whether you're rolling in for a buzzy weekend brunch or a celebratory dinner, there’s no bad time to show up to Tian Tian.
