Tai Pan is a multi-room maze in Palo Alto with excellent dim sum and plenty of space for groups. It’s also one of the few places where you can roll up with your entire discussion group or cozy mystery book club and have saucy char siu bao, bouncy XO noodles, and steaming hot siu mai spinning around on a lazy susan within 15 minutes. Whether you go steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or all of the above, it’s pretty easy to leave satisfied.
