Dim Sum Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“Happened upon this corner spot with low expectations when in the area. Very happily surprised! Super chill down to earth. Delicious curry soup and beef bowl. Mostly delivery orders so it was easy to sit for a while. No plugs but easy to work with laptop.“

“I was craving some dumplings and I walked by Chairman Sun and saw their menu had just what I wanted!

The Pork Soup Dumplings were a 5/5. Full of flavor and the perfect texture. The soy sauce and flavor of the pork matched perfectly.

My Scallion Cucumber salad was a perfect flavor profile for me as a I love a garlic moment. The dressing was drinkable…and the cucumber cuts were hardy and a perfect fresh bite.

Lastly, the spring rolls, solid and great flavor.

Kind staff and great ambience.

Loved my time here!“

“I’ve been eating here since it opened and this place literally never fails to deliver on amazing flavor that wakes up the tastebuds. Ingredients are all high quality. 3 pepper chicken packs a good punch, beef with silken tofu is delicious, and their duck fried rice is amazing.“

“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'm pushing 60 and I've had dim sum in many many different places including Hong Kong, Singapore, KL, Vancouver, Toronto, Seattle, LA, and NY. The taste and quality of Hey Yuet is one of the best I've ever had. This place is certainly a jewel of a find.“

“Great, delicious food! Beautiful setting. Great Service.“

“Delicious food! Everything was very fresh.“

“What a treasure! Everything we ate here was amazing, the lightest scallion pancake ever, the spiciest soft shell crab, tea smoked duck that was like the best Carolina barbecue ever. The bean curd with pepper oil. All of it. Cocktails were banging too. And the servers were all fantastic too. Even the ink was top shelf!“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“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.“

“😍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!!!!“

“Definitely one of the best pineapple pork buns I’ve tried. We really enjoyed these, and I’d come back for them again. One tip though: order online if you can. The line can get really long on a busy day, but the online order lets you bypass the regular line, which makes things so much easier.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

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

“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.“

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

“Walking through Brooklyn on a grey day wondering where to eat, my wife and son and I ran into an old friend carrying takeout from Petite Dumpling. She highly recommended them, which was all we needed. Everything we ordered was fabulous and we're already planning our next visit--tomorrow. The best!“

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

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

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

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

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

“I absolutely love Fan Szechuan and I will gladly come way out of my way just to get my hands on their chicken lo mein. The flavor is incredible, perfectly savory, and easily some of the best noodles you can find around. That being said, trying to order from here can honestly be a bit of a nightmare. Calling them over the phone is gets tough at times because of language barriers and thick accents so you really have to be a patient kind of person, especially if you want substitutions or multiple items. It doesn't help that their online menu is outdated and they don't carry some of the items listed anymore. Also, if you want broccoli in your chicken lo mein, they get you with an extra charge. Fine and standard. However, even after paying extra, they only give you a comically trace amount of it. Seriously, you can count the pieces on one hand.
And yet, I completely forgive all of that. The food just tastes so great every single time that the minor headaches are totally worth it to me. If you want top-tier comfort food, just put up with the janky ordering process and get the chicken or vegetable lo mein. Can't go wrong with it.“

“LOVED this place! I am extremely picky about fresh Chinese food and this restaurant really delivered. Every dish was wonderfully seasoned - no thick or “old” tasting sauces. Service was excellent and the restaurant was clean and well kept. Highly recommend !“

“My son and I got takeout for enjoying in Bryant Park. The hostess was extremely friendly and helpful. Offered us cold water while we were waiting for our order, as well as to go cups. The food was delicious. We ordered crab soup and pork soup dumplings, as well as dry noodles and spring rolls. Everything was well packed and delicious.“

“I had been to this space in previous concept iterations and decided to check it out before a show around the corner at Blue Note one night.

Needless to say I was taken away by the full meal from the setting, to the service, to the meal and feel like we have had 4 or 5 courses looking back at it. Whatever the french toast dessert was out of this world but so was the crispy duck and pasta dish I’m blanking on the name of. All were delicious and the service was equally as great.

Will definitely come back again. Thanks team 🙏🏽“

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

“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.“

“The place takes you back in time. The food is very authentic. I discovered this place years ago by chance. Some Canadians were walking out from it and I asked how was the food. They said best Chinese food. The first place they dine at when visiting New York. My daughter and I tried it and truly enjoyed it. Every time I visited her in NY we made it a point to eat there at least once.“

“Best First Date Place in NYC 🩷“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“Dao Dim Sum on Madison has officially stolen my heart — and my appetite — with one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Every single dish was beyond phenomenal. If you’re looking for a place that consistently delivers flavor, freshness, and pure culinary joy, this is *the* spot.

I indulged in a lineup of dishes, and not one missed the mark:

**• Salt & Pepper Lobster** — Perfection. Crispy, tender, seasoned flawlessly. Every bite felt like fireworks.
**• Salt & Pepper Calamari** — Light, crunchy, and unbelievably addictive. I could eat this every day.
**• Cucumber Salad** — Refreshing, crisp, and the ideal balance to all the rich flavors.
**• Scallion & Ginger Lobster** — Aromatic, buttery, and absolutely luxurious. A standout dish that melts in your mouth.
**• Fried Noodles with Shrimp Soup** — Comforting, flavorful, and the kind of dish you crave long after you leave.
**• Salt & Pepper Shrimp** — Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with so much skill it should be illegal.

Every plate was a hit. The flavors were bold, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, the presentation was gorgeous, and the overall quality was top-tier.

Dao Dim Sum on Madison isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. If you want phenomenal food that leaves you smiling, satisfied, and planning your next visit before you even walk out the door, this is your place.

I can’t recommend it enough. Absolutely amazing from start to finish!

Update: 6/25/26 I've told myself I must try Evelyn on the menu. Today I had the Salt and pepper lamb chops and the pineapple ribs. As always the food was superb. I can't get enough of this place.“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“This is a great place for grab and go bites if you don’t want a huge meal, which is what I want when I crave variety but don’t have time to have a full course. The soup dumplings r great and so r the veggie appetizers! Affordable too“

“Each meal here feels worth the price and the calories. I plan to come back - the ambiance was tranquil and staff were excellent. They're inconsistent with warmth but consistent with service. You get your money's worth with these filling portions. I enjoy every aspect of this restaurant.“

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

“Here’s picture of Peking Style Minced Pork Dried, Braised Shredded Beef Noodle Soup, Soup Dumplings, Pan fried Pork Dumplings snd Sour Plum Drink…Ooops Sooo Good It’s all gone before taking pix 😅😝😀“

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

“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.“

“YongChuan on the Lower East Side brings together the bold flavors of Ningbo and Sichuan in a beautiful, modern space. I really enjoyed how the dishes stayed true to their roots while adding a creative touch that made each one feel unique. You can tell a lot of care goes into every plate because the flavors are balanced and the ingredients really shine. The cocktails were also a pleasant surprise. They’re creative, well crafted, and definitely pack a punch. The service was attentive from start to finish, and the staff gave great recommendations that we ended up loving. If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food with a fresh, modern twist, I’d definitely recommend checking out YongChuan.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

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

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“This place is one of the reasons New York City is the best city. Very unassuming little spot serving up excellent food absolutely lovely meal. I got the pork over rice lunch special and a smiling man brought me my order placing each dish down intentionally. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Pig Heaven is an absolute gem! The food was packed with flavor, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for delicious Chinese food and outstanding service, Pig Heaven is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!“

“Great fresh noodles, good balance of ingredients, tasty soup base, efficient and friendly service.“

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

“Din Tai Fung is one of those places where you know what you are going to order before you go. I expected the chocolate bao to be too sweet but it was really one of those bites where you’d just shocked how they got the taste palate right. While the price is a little steep for just 6 boa, I will still recommend it. Crab and Pork Bao was also a wow. It’s great to see real ginger and people making the boa right in front of you to know that you’re really eating fresh food. The flavors on that were very nice so much so that we got a second bao. Overall 8.7/10 because of price concerns but otherwise it is very flavorful food.“
