On the weekends, YHCB's parking lot is packed with cars that overflow into the bank's lot next door. Shiny metal carts cruise through the dining room, dispensing metal bowls filled with steamed buns and fried chicken parts, plates of beautiful bok choy and handmade noodles glistening with sauce. Diners reach across tables with their chopsticks to snatch choice bits from their companions' plates, or reach into the center of the big family-style tables to spin the lazy susan like a culinary roulette wheel. Who knew you could eat the best meal of the week before noon on a Sunday? 2620 E. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa, 813-237-3838.
