Dinner at Radiance Tea House in NYC

Went to Radiance Tea House in midtown for Book Club.  The tea house was Asian and thus we were able to get dim sum on a weeknight, which even in NYC is somewhat of a feat.  Overall the dim sum was acceptable, but nothing that I would necessarily remember or run back for.  The environment was cool though.  Lots of space and they didn't rush us, and tons of options.  I would like to come back maybe for tea and dessert; looks better than dinner.

Chinese Broccoli and Kabocha Squash - cooked in sweet soy sauce.  Great flavor and both cooked al dente.  Nice and made us feel healthy

Soupy Pork Dumplings - some stuck a little to the bamboo and thus spilled early :(  Those that didn't were okay.  The dough was a little tough and the flavor not as pronounced as other soup dumplings I've had

Cantonese BBQ Pork Buns - was too full that I didn't get to try it, but Debbie and Lynn seemed to enjoy

Steamed Seafood Shumai - not as flavorful as at my fav dim sum places

Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumpling - I thought there would be large pieces of shrimp inside but was kind of ground up and not that shrimp-y tasting

Pork Belly Steamed Bun Dumpling - like some other dishes, good but not great.
