Roly China Fusion

The husband-and-husband team of restaurateur Chad Gardner and artist Roly Paz are at it again, but while their first restaurant—533 Viet Fusion—stuffed lobster and local dates into Vietnamese spring rolls, their new spot is filling a major hole in Palm Springs dining: dumplings. At Roly China Fusion, the open, modern space is home to kung pao chicken bao, lobster dumplings in truffle butter, and ginger-spiked pork-and-shrimp shumai, among other dim sum offerings, all handmade in house. (Our tip? Stop by during the daily dim sum happy hour.) But this isn't strictly a dim sum spot, and don't expect pushcarts; this is the kind of restaurant that adds filet mignon to its pad see ew and lobster with kimchi to its fried rice—so ready your wallet accordingly, then dive in.
