The pork xiao long bao was a stand out for me, it was rich and savory and I could eat a whole order myself. We ordered: - pork xiao long bao - hot and sour soup - pork steamed buns - scallion pancake - sautéed string beans - tri nut chicken - shredded beef with chili peppers - shanghai sautéed thick noodles with veg The serving sizes were plentiful for our group, we even took home left overs. Everything was so fresh and the mains came with plenty of white rice. The drinks were great, everyone got a different cocktail and we had no complaints. Overall a great value. We were initially planning to walk in to DTF but the wait was over 2 hours. I'm glad we pivoted to come here instead.

Consistently stopped by to see if we needed anything, refilled waters and gave more napkins when they realized we ran out. We got spicy cucumber salad, the pork soup dumplings, which are always great. General Tso was delicious, however the chicken was really large pieces for me, but I'd assume most people would like that. I've tried the sesame chicken in the past and it was very good as well. Fried rice is great

Service was very nice!…read more Only got the soup dumplings, they're about $15. They do have tons of soup, fills the soup spoon about twice before being empty. Didn't get to try soup dumplings in Chinatown for comparison but if you're craving dumplings in this area of town could be a good option and tasty just not a deal but soup dumplings are more expensive. Cash or card but not fee with cash. Probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. They do have a clean bathroom downstairs and you can eat outside at tables if you order to go.

The staff are professional and prompt. You can order from kiosk or cashier for dine in and Togo orders. I recommend the pork soup dumplings and scallion pancake (better fresh or reheated via oven Togo orders). The scallion pancakes were crispy but might need a napkin to dab the oil off. The soup pork dumplings were divine. Add some chilli oil, vinegar, and soy sauce for a kick of umami. Also, open until 2am but always check hours. Affordable and quality food. I understand the hype from this chain.

I'll definitely be back before the season ends. The seafood pan-fried noodles never disappoint, and I also ordered another longtime favorite, the clay pot eggplant. Both dishes were excellent, as always. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food and consistently great flavors. The owner, Tony, always greets guests warmly and makes everyone feel welcome. Our waiter, Peter, was attentive and provided excellent service throughout the meal. It's an all-around enjoyable dining experience, made even better by the beautiful Hudson River waterfront view. A true neighborhood gem that keeps us coming back.

The shrimp potion , as expected is always less than chicken entrees. But this wasn't the main issue. The shrimp had a stronger than usual seafood taste like it wasn't thoroughly washed and the texture was tougher than in used to like it was possibly overcooked. The sauce was god and the broccoli tasty but the shrimp was a little offputting. I'm not sure I would order the shrimp and broccoli again.

We wandered over here after visiting the Empire State Building; it was only a five minute walk away! We went after watching the sunset, so around 8-ish, and were pleasantly surprised we didn't have to wait for a table. The atmosphere was bright and lively, but not too much to bring our seven-year-old. We ordered: PORK DUMPLINGS-- best thing we ordered. My. Goodness. The broth was perfectly seasoned and silky. Was always a little sad after the last bit of soup from each dumpling was slurped. ;) Meat inside was tender and flavorful and the wrapper wasn't too thin or thick. Just the right thickness to keep the soup inside until you were ready, but not so thick that it was too chewy or distracting from the contents. Also ordered, the SPICY BEEF DUMPLINGS as recommended by our server. They were yummy. Tasty soup and beef had a deeper flavor. Not too spicy. Next time, we will probably just order extra pork dumplings or try something new. We ordered the SCALLION PANCAKES. I prefer my scallion pancakes thinner. These were a lot like the thickness of a dense pita. Still enjoyed them-- still a nice texture that was both soft and crispy, perfectly greasy, and flavorful. CRISPY CHILI CHICKEN (or something like that) was good but nothing special. Had some heat but not too spicy. CUCUMBER SALAD-- was a nice cold addition to the meal. Loved the sesame oil, just wish there was more, as well as more flavor. We ended up pouring a little soy sauce on top and that helped. I thought it was nice to chase a bite of crispy chili chicken with a bite of cucumber. WHITE RICE-- we ordered three orders of rice that was perfectly prepared, but way too much for three adults. Not complaining, but each bowl would have probably been enough for two adults. Can't wait to return!

To be honest we didn't know there was so many Dim Sum Palace in Manhattan, because this was a different one than the one we believe we went to. We sat down and order food. We just wanted something light to eat for the day so we didn't order much. The restaurant is a bit small and the tables were place very close to each other. We wrote down what we want and the orders start rolling in. We got some delicious dumplings and pork buns. The scallion pancake was light and fluffy. We were excited for the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. We did order Singapore mei fun but they forgot it. I was kind of happy they did because we were full. Overall it was a good place to get some dim sum.
