🏮"old Chinatown! No frills lunch counter" (Google review)
🍃Seven zongzi fillings, popular ones sell out early

Step into a Chinatown time capsule that locals have cherished since 1967. Mee Sum Cafe serves no-frills Cantonese comfort food — Salted Chicken with ginger-scallion sauce, handmade dim sum from the steam cabinet, and seven varieties of leaf-wrapped zongzi — at a vintage lunch counter where manager Hing Jea greets regulars like family.
