They offer dim sum on weekends and it is the best in the area.

Also highly recommend Hollywood East or New Fortune. We go regularly and always lots of big Chinese families at both places.
Go Saturday or Sunday brunch time. Don't go too late (after 2:00) as good things tend to run out by then.

Enjoy
I'm Chinese and Oriental East seems more "Dim Sum for Americans". My family prefers Hollywood East (which moved to the Wheaton Mall) or New Fortune in Gaithersburg. New Fortune is the most authentic Chinese style Dim Sum in Maryland.
Agree Hollywood east is the best. But we always like Oriental East before Hollywood East opened. Also recommend A&J. If you are taking dim sum off the table, it would have to for Joe's noodle house on Rockville Pike. OMG. Cold spicy chicken. I dream about it.

OP, dim sum is a brunch/lunch event. You won't find it for dinner.

14:44, I was at Oriental East this Sunday. There were lots of Asian patrons there speaking in Chinese to the wait staff, so I don't think your description is accurate.

OP, you're not going to find dimsum at dinner time.
I second/third the Fortune recommendation. Don't bother with Mark's. Fortune has some good traditional dimsum [I'm Chinese-American who has eaten dimsum in Hong Kong --where it all started -- , Guangzhou, SF, and NYC]. They will also have some items targeted to non-Chinese diners.

I second the A&J suggestion. I don't think they do the traditional cart style Dim Sum, but the food there is great. I recommend the potstickers, the spicy wontons.
For traditional (cart-style) dim sum, I also recommend Hong Kong Pearl in Seven Corners. Go early, though.
