Dim Sum Restaurants near Elmhurst, NY

“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.“

“Lot of option of food I love how thry have different choice and small portion so everyone can afford it I went for roast duck ...they don't speak much English or they don't have everything listed in English wat they have but lot of choices of food will definitely revisit here“

“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.“

“I ordered lotus root, mapo tofu, and white rice. The lotus was sweet with no other perceptible flavor and was undercooked. The white rice was overcooked and clumpy with little grain definition. The mapo tofu has a good balance of umami, numbing, and heat. It was a little too saucy, but overall a perfectly fine mapo tofu.“

“Really shockingly good Sichuan food. The mala flavor was really delightful, it was really pleasantly numbing and incredibly flavorful. We got the dry pot baby rib and kung pao chicken lunch specials and both were quite excellent. The kung pao chicken really stood out to me as being particularly flavorful and nicely spiced. The interior of the resturant was also gorgeous and not too busy during lunch hours.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Doyers Street is this short, sharp-angled little alley in the middle of Chinatown that you walk past maybe six times before you realize you keep missing the entrance, and even when you find it you stand there for a second wondering if you have the right place. You do. Nom Wah has been here since 1920 and it looks roughly like it has been here since 1920, which in this case is the entire point. Red vinyl booths, chrome stools, a counter that has heard a lot of conversations. It seats maybe fifty people and feels like it could accommodate half that comfortably. We waited outside on a Sunday for about twenty-five minutes and it was worth every bit of it.
The thing everyone tells you to get is the Original Egg Roll and they are telling you correctly. It is nothing like any egg roll I had eaten before, it's made with a thin egg crepe instead of the usual wrapper, filled with chicken and vegetables, then battered and fried until it's crispy in a way that cracks when you bite into it. Big enough to split, though nobody at our table actually did. We ordered the shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings because four different people online had specifically mentioned them, and I would have been fine if that was the only thing I ate. The wrapper is thicker than what you'd get somewhere more modern, slightly chewy in the best way, and the snow pea leaves give the whole thing a fresh quality that surprises you when you're sitting inside a dark room with no natural light. The soup dumplings came next and were the kind that require you to slow down a little, to be careful, and the reward for being careful is a mouthful of pork and warm broth that is excellent and makes you feel like you did something right. The roasted pork bun was soft and warm and sweet from the cha siu and we ordered a second round of those toward the end almost without talking about it.
Dim sum is served to order from a written menu here, not by cart, which some people consider less fun and others consider more practical. I'm in the practical camp so this suited me. Bring cash or Amex, tip well, sit wherever they put you, and order more than you think you need. You'll finish it.“

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

“My husband and I came into town and I said I wanted good Chinese food. He found this wonderful gem and it did not disappoint. We tried the green beans and minced pork, scallion pancakes, and pork dumplings. Everything was fresh, hot, and so flavorful. They even made my husband use chopsticks for the first time.😊. We will be back when we’re in NYC again.“

“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 wait isn’t bad, the food is banging and cheap, don’t stand around in the line unless you know what you’re waiting for is the one tip I’ll give, people just stand around without seeing which line they’re in. You can walk right up to the counter if you’ve got cash. Get a few buns to go for later. The shu mai was ok seemed like it had been sitting a while.“

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

“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.“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“Fan Szechuan Restaurant & Bar is a fantastic find on the Lower East Side! Authentic, bold Szechuan flavors in a sleek, modern space with great service.🔥

The sweet and sour crispy jumbo prawns are my absolute favorite — huge, perfectly crunchy, succulent, and tossed in the most addictive tangy-sweet sauce. Could eat them every visit!❤️

Other dishes we tried were spot-on, spicy and flavorful. Attentive staff and cool bar vibe too. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend! 🌶️🍤“

“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!“

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

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“We stopped by Dim Sum Chelsea on a cold and wet day to get a snack and take a break after a lot of walking around. The restaurant was fairly slow and service was very attentive and friendly. We just wanted a nibble so we only tried the Lotus Rice and the Crab and Spinach dumplings paired with a shared bottle of hot sake. The food was hot and flavorful, the crab and spinach dumplings were juicy but my favorite was the lotus rice that was stuffed with a seasoned meat mixture. I only recently discovered this dish and now its a favorite! I would love to come back to try more dumplings if I'm ever back in the area.“

“Wonderful food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and location. The best soup dumplings I’ve had in Manhattan.“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“DAO Dim Sum & Chinese Cuisine delivers exactly what you want when you are craving authentic dim sum in New York. It checks every box.

The dim sum was excellent. Fresh, well prepared, and full of flavor. Each dish came out hot and properly timed. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in consistency and quality.

The wonton soup was equally strong. Clean, balanced broth with well-made wontons and great texture. Comforting without being heavy.

Service was fast and courteous. The staff was attentive, efficient, and genuinely pleasant. Food arrived quickly without feeling rushed.

The pricing is very reasonable, especially given the quality and portion sizes. Strong value across the board.

If you are looking for reliable, well-executed dim sum in New York, DAO is a solid choice. Professional operation, good people, great food. Five stars.“

“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.“

“Great dinner for my family tonight at this gem - just five minutes walk from Grand Central station. Unpretentious, authentic dim sum and excellent main dishes with rice, noodles, vegetables and more. The desserts were amazing - especially the black sesame balls and the mochi. Very good service and ambience here - light and bright, wood throughout. Would definitely return.“

“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“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

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

“What a cutie vibey spot! If you’re looking for super authentic Chinese food, this probably isn’t the move but that doesn’t mean the food isn’t delicious!
We booked for a girls dinner and they knew their audience. Great moody lighting, a destiny’s child playlist, cozy booths, and lots of shareable options.

The staff was incredibly warm and playful too. Nico, the GM, was putting in the work. We saw him visiting every table and charmed the whole dining room. He even sent a complimentary dessert to our table.

Looking forward to going back!“

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

“Good food at a decent price in a well-lit restaurant. Very happy with my meal.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“So happy to have stumbled onto this spot! Food is delicious, well priced, and comes out fast! We were served by an adorable older Asian gentleman 🙏🏼

Loved the classic and pan fried soup dumplings, hot pot style fish fillets, and roast pork buns“

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

“Highly recommend this place. It was delicious food ,Awesome Service definitely will be going back. 🙃“

“I am obsessed with sichuan food, and found this place to be delicious! I was dining solo, so I was only able to try one dish, but the dry pot chicken was phenomenal. Juicy chicken, tasty vegetables, and strong-but-not-overwhelming spice. You will not regret a visit here.“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant and couldn’t have been happier. All the food was so fresh and delicious. Truly the best sesame balls I’ve ever had. They were warm and chewy. The salmon bowls were also great. Recommend the phoenix balls for dessert. They were gorgeous. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“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.“
