Dim Sum Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“Had delivery a few times before and came tonight to eat in person with my wife and we loved it. It is a very tiny space but very nice. We split the stir fried bok Choi and the fried chicken mini dumplings. They were both good but the dumplings were especially great. She got chicken with broccoli and I got Mala chicken; both were also great. Finally, they gave us a free cucumber salad which was actually the best thing we had!

The staff were not very talkative but very nice!

I will definitely go back! No question.“

“great food for the price. 🤗“

“Tasty food with superb prices as well as attentive, friendly service. delectable soup dumplings with juicy tender meat wrapped in a chewy doughy wrapper are so appetizing.... I also love the location of the restaurant.“

“We arrived with a reservation and were seated immediately. Our food was very good and prepared as ordered. Prices were vey reasonable and service was pretty good. It was a bit difficult to converse but worth the slight inconvenience. We'll return for the food and prices.“

“Delicious food! Everything was very fresh.“

“Came here for my anniversary dinner and was blown away by Breeze (pun intended). Easily some of, if not the best Sichuan food we’ve ever had. I got the Winter Frost #2 cocktail and I wasn’t sure what type of flavor I was expecting but it didn’t taste like what I expected in a good way! The cocktail had a mildly sweet, light but depth in flavor profile.

The ginger sauce green beans were some of the best green beans I’ve ever tasted. The sauce they used was addicting. Second favorite item was the diced chicken with chili pepper, which was super spicy but absolutely delicious. But to be honest all of the dishes were home runs! I was just here last night and I’m already daydreaming about coming back to try more dishes.

Also the service was exceptional. The restaurant was full and there were only two guys to cover the front of the house (the hostess, waiter, bartender, and bus boy). They definitely had their hand fulls but still were efficient. Since it was our anniversary dinner they ended up surprising us with a pumpkin rice cake dessert on the house which we thought was the sweetest gesture. I couldn’t have been happier since I absolutely love rice cakes 😋“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“Upon arrival you’re introduced to Grandma’s Home with it’s beautiful and immersive decor honoring Chinese culture. The tableware is intentional as well, where the chopstick rests are carved to represent the 12 different animals from the Chinese zodiac.

Their food is homey yet unique, all the classic dishes you would want with a modern twist. If you like century egg, I recommend that for appetizer. The sauce has a tanginess to it that contrasts the creaminess of the egg. My favorite was their seafood fried rice, each grain cooked to golden perfection. It’s hard to find good fried rice in nyc but they do it brilliantly. The black pepper, pork belly, and salted yolk were good as well. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes to be honest. Lastly, we finish off our meal with coconut pudding with red bean paste and guava and coconut shaved ice. However, I do believe their dessert changes every so often.

The servers could be slightly faster and more attentive but they make it up with the atmosphere and food.“

“😍My very first time here. I was served by Jason, food captain. I guess I was spoiled by his hospitality because I tell you, WHEN I return, if I not being served by him, I'm not going. Every now and again you come across a server who truly enjoys making people fell comfortable, that's Jason, in a nutshell. The food was extraordinary, complimented by spectacular recommendations and hospitality!!!!“

“The food is delicious and great customer service. Will come again?“

“This spot isn't in guidebooks yet. Employees are remarkably kind and accommodating, serving food rapidly. They serve excellent food at fair rates. The food quality showed in our completely empty plates. This spot provides a good environment.“

“Dongpo pork is a must try, it is melt in your mouth! Live music, lively atmosphere and good service. My favorited though was the cucumber salad, so simple yet so refreshing and savory at the same time. Definitely recommend, high quality Asian food.“

“Love love love.
I was about to hangout to karaoke place on 38th with friends but my date want to have dinner before meeting them. So I randomly googling food nearby bryant park and I found this place

Surprisingly this place really good. Ordered 4 types of dimsum. I kinda like 2 of them, the other two was good but not that special. Then I ordered lemongrass pork chop over rice and their passion fruit sparkling juice, OMG. The best.

Price also okay consider they are really in central area of Manhattan. Definitely will come back again soon.

Another thing, their servers sooooooooo nice and friendly. Applause to both of them who served my date and I at that night.“

“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small“

“If you want to sit in a very crowded place, this is the place to go. The food was fine. They messed up our order and acted like they were upset that we said anything but the food is good.“

“I unfortunately get the hype…

The outer layer of the pineapple bun is super buttery and crispy and the the bun itself is soft and fluffy. The pork inside is tender and was sweeter than I expected but it pairs so well with the little saltiness on the pineapple bun crust.

Super addicting, super delicious! Great for a quick bite when in Chinatown!“

“Caught up with a dear friend, wanted to find some place not too loud that we could talk and catch up. We picked the right place, not too loud, the food was great, my friend really liked the drinks. We had a great time. Thank you and we'll ba back again.“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“I love your general tso's chicken but the previous was much better. After you guys closed and reopened this week, the recipe for your general tso's chicken changed. I order it several times a week and am a bit disappointed. Did the chef change? Is it possible to go back to the old recipe? Old recipe: 9.5/10 New recipe: 7/10 Please go back!“

“This restaurant is a nice place to take your date for something special or to take friends to have food together! The food here is a bit on the spicier side, but I would highly recommend trying the peking duck! It was so delicious! Also we would recommend the sweet and sour pork ribs, they were packed full of flavor and super tender! The sweet and sour fish was also very delicious - if you are into seafood, would highly recommend this!“

“Obviously, if a restaurant in NYC is open more than a few months, it's got to have decent food. If a restaurant has been open in NYC for a few years, the food is most likely world class. If a restaurant in NYC has been open for decades, the food has to be world class, and the cost of eating there has to be reasonable. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, traveled the world, this has been my experience.
Nom Wah Tea Parlor has the best Cantonese food I have ever eaten (I have not been to China). The kicker is this, wait for it....
The prices are very reasonable! What??? World class Cantonese Food, in NYC, full belly for 3 people, under $100. best kept secret on the NYC food scene. Bar none!“

“All day dim sum & Cantonese cuisine. 🥡🥢“

“Food, service & atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend! 5⭐️“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“Few restaurants in town can rival what happens here. The menu items delivered pure satisfaction. Excellent staff performance with delicious food at fair prices. Staff members are quick yet never rushed. The workers here show professionalism.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“This is a lovely restaurant..we were the only ones dining there at 4pm on a Thursday, but my oh my were our dishes a gastronome's delight...the garlic chili noodles, mapo tofu, and dry pot beef were indescribably delicious. The young man who served us was also behind the register and he never returned to ask whether we needed anything...BUT he quickly came to our table when I got his attention. He graciously packed my leftovers for carryout after misunderstanding and placing more fire in the table top stove underneath my dry pot beef. I would definitely return to Baodega to try some other dishes!“

“Food was really good but it took an insane amount of time for my food to come out (ordered rice, soup, and karage chicken). It took way too long for them to even hand me my bottled tea. There weren't even that many people in the restaraunt so idk what the deal was. They did apologize but seriously it shouldn't take that long. It took 30 minutes to get my order.
Also someone kept asking me for money while I was trying to place a kiosk order.
The food was good so I will be coming back but hopefully this is a one time thing“

“This is great Chinese food, Hong Kong style. Their lunch specials are affordable, delicious and filling. For dessert I recommend the mango dish - it’s like a juice with grapefruit pulp and was refreshing and really delicious. Service was amazing.“

“This is the best sushi place in LIC. when you walk in the workers and chefs are welcoming, attentive and super friendly. The miso soup tastes fresh and coconut curry was great! The salmon lovers sushi and sashimi was delicious ad so were the specialty rolls! will eat again!!“

“Oh man this steamed rice rolls where somebody and chewy and just flavor a bunch of flavor.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Very nice, good food, good service.“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“Very nice ambiance, but definitely not my cup of tea. I think the dishes were reasonably creative and didn’t taste bad, but I think nothing really stood out. Chao mian decent, chicken not bad. For what we ended up paying it felt a bit expensive, but not a bad spot if you’re looking for a nice date spot.“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“Enjoyed on a hot summers day. Give it a go. You will not be disappointed“

“The dim sum here is seriously on another level, a total game-changer for my taste buds. The flavors are incredibly vibrant, making each bite an exciting experience. I can't get enough of the savory dumplings, they are my absolute favorite. The chefs clearly know what they're doing, crafting each dish with passion and precision. The textures are spot on, creating a perfect harmony of soft and crunchy. It's the kind of place where you want to order one of everything on the menu. The atmosphere is super inviting and the service is always top-notch, which is a big plus. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful establishment whenever you get the chance.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“You don't go for the surroundings. You go for the spectacular dumplings and steamed buns. The menu is very small, only 7 items, and nothing is vegetarian. They focus on sweet and meaty steamed buns, packed with flavor and so so juicy.

Best part...nothing is more than $5!“

“This shop has gradually grown in size. The cakes here are really delicious. I have been here several times and bought more than 30 dollars of desserts every time. Now they also add milk tea, which is really delicious. There are also meals Yes, but I haven’t tried it. I will try it again when I have time.“

“NYC typically rivals the Chinese food you can find in the Bay Area and Hupo certainly helps that case. Focusing on Sichuan style cuisine, Hupo has a wide array of entrees and bites that will leave you full and wanting to come back for more. They certainly do deserve their Bib Gourmand. We had a reservation for 5 set for dinner and were glad we did so as the place was very busy when we arrived. The interior is clean and simple with no frills. Once seated we were informed that they only have digital menus through a QR code which was a bit difficult to navigate with 2 out of the 5 of us being older and not as tech savvy but we figured it out anyways.

We ordered a few different entrees and split them family style so we’ll go over them generally. Side note: although many of the dishes are noted as being spicy you can request that they be made without any spice. For dim sum/appetizers we ordered the scallion pancakes and pork soup dumplings. The scallion pancakes were okay, nothing special about them but the pork soup dumplings were a bit better with a tasty broth inside and nice chewy dumplings. For entrees we got duck fried rice, braised beef noodle soup, beef with broccoli, and dan dan noodles.

The duck fried rice was very good. Many places opt to use day-old rice for fried rice and you can often tell by the texture, but if they do that here then we were fooled because the rice tastes fresh and the duck was perfect. The braised beef noodle soup was also good, not the best we’ve had, but still good with the beef having a nice texture and the broth being rich. The beef with broccoli was great, the beef velvetized and delicious, the broccoli, well, broccoli. Lastly, the dan dan noodles were fantastic. The noodles were cooked perfect, the minced beef very delicious, and the bok choy tasty as well. As it is food wise, Hupo is a standout, particularly in the Western Queens area, the only knock being its service is a bit iffy with the workers being not too warm but for the meal you get, we’re willing to shut up and just eat. A fantastic restaurant all around!“

“Great service, food, and thoughtful cocktails. What more can you ask for in FiDi?“

“This place is truly a Gem! Beats any place in Chinatown, the ambience, most definitely the Quality of the food and the service is Top tier! 3rd time here and looking forward to our next visit. Special shout out to Barbara always pleasant and super attentive! Shout out to Billy as well great lunch service today despite being full and busy. Thank you!“

“This place has the best, most authentic wontons I've ever had outside of Shanghai. Both the small and large wontons are delicious. Every time I go I get the large wontons to eat and a frozen pack to go. They have a delicious lion's head meatball too. I'd go daily if I lived nearby.“

“I’m Chinese myself so you know I needed to snag some NYC Chinese food where I could, visiting. The Braised Shredded Beef Noodle Soup was great but let me tell you about the PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS! They were so delicious, the soup was very flavorful and the wrapper wasn’t too thick! The pork was tender inside and paired so well with a classic vinegar soy dumpling sauce. I’d say the price isn’t too bad at all for area as well!“

“Very good food helpful and very good service“
