Chicken and cabbage rolls (most dim sum places have them) are pretty tasty.

Boiled cabbage is horrendous, though.

What is dim sum? I live in a very small town that only has one restaurant.

Dim sum is usually a sort brunch/lunch that you enjoy with friends. The menu will have dozens of items that a mostly served in bamboo steamer baskets with several pieces of the menu item and everyone shares from the basket. A larger restaurant will sometimes have servers pushing carts with various baskets and offering them as they pass.

If your party is large, you might order 2-3 baskets of one item if everyone wants a piece, or only one basket. I've been out with several freinds and had 15+ baskets at the end of our meal.

If you have had a lot of experience with Chinese food it's a great way to sample all sorts of things without commiting to an entree.
