I've eaten here for the past 15 years. In response to all the complaints about service, you have to realize that you're in a busy Chinese dim sum restaurant. In my opinion, only at shi-shi (sp) dim sum places (or at places that cater to non-Chinese) will you get attentive service. Look at how other Chinese people behave as guests in this restaurant. One yells "Hey, waiter", or might just hold out an empty teapot to a waiter without saying anything, on the mutual understanding that a waiter will pick it up and fill it with water. To the American culture, this is rude. In the Chinese culture, this is normal. How do you handle it? Just be persistent, but polite. As someone below mentioned, you are still a "guest" in someone else's culture.
