I have been curious about a new place that opened up at 45th & Lamar some months back, Get Sum Dim Sum, where the idea is that you can order dim sum a la carte any time of day. Sounds like a great idea to me! So here's the report.
I ordered (clockwise from bottom): "Woo Gok" (fried taro dumplings with mushroom and bamboo), veggie dumplings, tofu dumplings, and Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. The chili sauce in the center is I believe a specialty of the chef's. It's good, but I think it has meat bits.

The menu: sort of like ordering sushi
Instructions for ordering; you can either get semi-predetermined combo meals or order piece by piece exactly what you want
I enjoyed everything I ate, and my total was about $14 which is not too bad considering I took enough home to make a smallish lunch tomorrow. They have several hot teas and some interesting bottled beverage choices, as well as the standard desserts.
I was especially happy that the dumplings had a bit more flavor than some that I've had--a greater variety of vegetables, and not too salty as is sometimes the case. I'll be back to try some of the other items on the menu.
So glad you made it down there. My mom went and she had an ok experience, but you've made me want to try it out. A
