For diners who enjoy trying a little bit of everything when they go out, dim sum seems like the perfect restaurant experience. The Chinese feast, which typically spans breakfast and lunch, offers small plates of snackable bites, often delivered via a rolling dim sum cart that winds through tables scattered around a banquet hall.

On the menu: Spring rolls and pork buns, turnip cakes and spare ribs, steamed vegetables and sesame balls. And dumplings, of course. Boston.com readers have already shared their thoughts on where to find the best dumplings around Boston, with Dumpling Cafe, Dumpling House (both the Newton and Cambridge locations), Gourmet Dumpling House, and Taiwan Cafe coming in at the top five spots.
