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. 🤗“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“Antidote was such a great spot to have dinner on my visit to NYC. The wait was not too long considering there were 7 people in my party. We had so many items off the menu and the staff was very attentive to allergies and other food preferences. The tea smocked duck was incredible, the cucumber was amazing, the wontons were delicious! Everyone loved their dish it was absolutely a great dinner. The only downside was that some of the fish dishes were made with tilapia which is not a fish preference for most of the friends I was with. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“The best dim sum cuisine in Chinatown and all New York City. \nThe dumplings were delicious. \nPerfect deep fried shrimps, crunchy delicate and not oily. \nPrices are cheap, considering the average of downtown restaurants. \nThey do not accept credit cards, except American Express“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The best flavors, super authentic, delicious! We had a feast tasting almost everything on the menu. Spicy, non spicy, flavorful, hot, tasty, tender, fresh. Wow wow wow, definitely recommend Yum Cha, and coming back. And the service and atmosphere are made super nice by Ivy, the queen of smiles, happiness and positivity.“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“😍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!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“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“

“Everything is just. Wow. We ordered family style and every dish was a home run. The pork buns were amazing, great sake recommendations, sesame balls we're heaven on earth, and the soup inside the soup dumplings was divine. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“The food is very good at this place A very quick easy meal“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“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.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“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!“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

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

“The dumplings are as good here as China Town. Bring 3-4 people and eat them all! I say at the bar and had Soup Dumplings, Shumai and Steamed Rice Roll with BBQ Pork… it’s like a Pork Bun without the Calories! Afternoon Happy Hour large Saki 1/2 price!!! If you’re in Gramacy, you don’t need to take the trip to China Town for excellent Dim Sum. Additionally, they have a Japanese Hibachi Table upstairs.“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. 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 came to this restaurant last month to order takeout, and the young man at the front desk was very enthusiastic in introducing the menu. When he found out it was my partner’s birthday, he added a free dessert to my order and wished him a happy birthday. It was truly sweet!!!“
