We went out to with some of our close friends at this highly-rated dim sum restaurant, and were not disappointed. While I'm not sure we would make a special trip to Wheaton for this dim sum (in light of the proximity of Fortune's), Hollywood East offered an incredibly diverse number of plates, including TWO separate steam carts with unique offerings.
What I liked best about Hollywood East, however, was the fact that freshly cooked vegetables, seafood, and other assorted dishes were brought around by a server (about a 15 year old kid) who would hock his fresh-from-the-kitchen food. As dim sum plates can be lukewarm after being carted around the restaurant for ten minutes, I definitely respected the importance placed on the food being hot at Hollywood East. Of the fresh from the kitchen dishes, I particularly enjoyed the fried squid with jalapenos (touted as "like calamari, only better") and the Chinese broccoli.
If we find ourselves in Wheaton during the dim sum hours, I am sure we will return.
