Valet parking is the first sign that this Hong Kong-style seafooder is more upscale than your typical Chinese restaurant. The second: The tanks of fish that are filled with jumbo shrimp, king crab, giant Australian lobsters and what the waiter calls Hong Kong snapper, which tilts the scales at $80 a pound. During the day they serve "some of the best dim sum in the city," but the most fun can be had in the evening when a party of six to eight can slowly spin the lazy Susan in the middle of the table, sampling from platters holding those giant crustaceans.
