New Dim Sum Restaurant in Jacksonville With Carts

[robyn]

Who would have thunk it? We now have a restaurant that serves dim sum at lunch with cart service. It's Bamboo Creek in Tinseltown (where the old Japanese buffet place used to be - a little north of the theater complex). I don't think Hong Kong has anything to worry about - but it is a whole lot better than I thought any Chinese restaurant in Jacksonville would ever be. Robyn

Wow, thanks for this info. Jacksonville also has a Penzeys Spice Store that I'd love to visit. It's 150 miles from where I live, but the combined opportunity for "real" dim sum and spice shopping would make the trip worthwhile !

Before you travel 150 miles to get here - check that Penzey's is still open. It was a little dead when I went there over the winter holidays - so I don't know how long it will last. I am not sure I would travel 150 miles to go a spice store that does a big mail order business. BTW - where do you live? The Panhandle - southern Georgia? Robyn

I live on the east coast - central Florida, just south of Cape Canaveral. I have to drive to Atlanta in a few weeks and was thinking of making a detour through Jax to have dim sum and check out Penzey's. I guess that I had better call ahead to make sure it is still open!

Also, can you please post the name and address for the dim sum restaurant? Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who orders bread from Poilane. And you're right - you are definitely not coming to a third world country - or even a strange first world one (I once wanted to buy Pepto Bismol in France and couldn't because it was by prescription only!).

And just think - you can spend the next year or so learning to make traditional southern dishes - like hoppin' john and greens and cornbread for New Year's Day.

Thanks so much! I will be sure to leave my house at the correct hour to hit Jax at the dim sum cart time.
