    Beef Chow Fun (L)
    Elizabeth X.

    I love Dim Sum Palace, and this location mostly lived up to my expectations. The dim sum options (shrimp dumplings, bbq pork bun, custard bun ["sweet egg yolk creamy bun"], cucumber salad ["cucumber with Szechuan spicy sauce"]) were all excellent, along with the beef chow fun. The sautéed pea shoots were a little on the bland side. I was very disappointed that they were out of shrimp rice rolls despite it only being ~4 PM--one of my favorite dim sum dishes. The General Tso's chicken also tasted off, a bit tangy and not sweet at all. That was the only dish we did not finish. Easy to walk in with a group of four Sunday at ~4 PM.

    This casual Asian restaurant in the Midtown area of Manhattan in NYC serves authentic made to order dim sum and Cantonese classics. I placed a pickup order for the Vegetarian Dim Sum 8 pieces for $17.95. They were delicious but did not come with a sauce. I probably should have looked in the bag before leaving. Pickup was very easy.

    Found this place on yelp and went to have lunch after walking Central Park. The dim sum is fresh and comes out piping hot and delicious. We ended up coming a second time after a long time. New Yorker invited us a couple days later we had different dim sum and it all was fantastic. The service is great. The restaurant is in a great location with plenty of room for many guests. This is definitely on my recommend list.

    We wanted Chinese and the wait for this restaurant was not long. We were sat on the second floor next to the window. I loved it because you could see the snow outside. The server came by and she was a bit rude because we asked her to give us more time. We were still trying to figure out what we wanted to eat. We finally placed our order, and it was different menu items for us to try. The food came out really fast and it wasn't even hot. The rice was cold and the chicken was lukewarm like if it had been cooked already and just waiting to be served. The food had decent flavor, but it was it wasn't top notch. The best part of my meal was the hot tea that was delicious. We finished eating and we were trying to figure out where to go next and see what was close for us to do, and the server kept looking over at us and it seemed like she was talking about us because then we saw two other servers looking over at us. I felt rushed thinking that people were waiting to be sited, but as I walked out I saw that there was no one waiting.

    We came here for dinner and had a good time. The restaurant is relatively big with two floors, and we shared a large table with another party. Service was quick, and the food also came out timely. The food was all decent. Good flavor overall for every dish. I like the dim sum dishes a bit better. My only thing was that everything was a little too oily for my liking.

    Food came out very quick and hot and the service was attentative. All the dumplings were very authentic and delicious, although pricey relative to other dim sum places. The quality was definitely on par with some of the best. Probably the best congee that I have ever had in New York. The jellyfish was also exceptional. Besides the usual dim sum fare, I was pleased that they had other creative offerings, like the taro, cilantro, and pork dumplings. They did however miss part of my order although I was already full so didn't complain and wasn't charged anyway. I would have enjoyed having the shrimp, sausage, and chives dumplings. I definitely will return!

    Crispy Garlic Spare Ribs
    Jennifer G.

    The food and secure are great. Our food came out quickly and very hot. We really liked the Shredded Roast Duck Stir Fried Turnip Cake with shrimp in XO sauce and the Crispy Garlic Spare Ribs. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp Dumplings were also good. I liked the Taro Cilantro and Pork Dumplings but my husband didn't. I happen to like taro and cilantro and he doesn't. The Steamed Beef Honey Comb Tripe was a little sweet for me. I prefer it more savory. This has become our go to place when we come to New York because we were able to order dim sum that we don't find in the San Francisco area.

    Found this place when we craved Dim Sum after a Broadway show. We loved everything. The dumplings were all fresh and tasty. And 4 orders of various dumplings were enough for me and my wife. Which means we got out of there under 40 bucks on the bill. It actually made us wish we had ordered some to go for the ride back to Philly.

    Sticky rice
    Austin K.

    Wow, I was surprised by how good this place ended up being. It is a little pricy but normal for the area. We got here around 11:30am on Saturday and were the first customers. The 2 of us shared 5 dishes and we were exploding by the end. The pu'er tea was good and with constant offers of refills. We had the turnip cake (crispy exterior and seasoned well), shrimp dumplings, beef noodle roll (bland, but good rice roll), sticky rice, and roast pork bun. The turnip cake was particularly good, and maybe the best I've had in NYC including Chinatown. The only complaint is that I wish they spaced out the food more so things didn't get cold, but small complaint. 5% discount for cash

    Pork & Thousand Year Egg Congee. $8. Odd color and not too much century egg. Wouldn't recommend
    Glenn C.

    This is one of the may locations of this dim sum chain and as per many recent reviews, I went here a good while ago with one of my more common food groups. We sat upstairs as our group size was pretty large and we tried a bunch of dishes with mostly dishes from the dim sum menu (though many of them are not dim sum) along with some others. They gave us tea of course which was refilled when necessary which needed to be steeped for a bit and was piping hot as per always. The Shredded Roast Duck Stir-Fried Turnip Cake With Shrimp in XO Sauce for $11.95 was our favorite bite of the evening. The turnip cakes had a wonderful slightly toasted yet bouncy texture with the XO sauce adding some good funk, some spice, and a light seafood flavor from the dried scallops/XO sauce. The duck on top was pretty tender for it being shredded. I would heavily recommend this. Each person also got one of the Palace Dim Sum Platters consisting of 8 pieces which was around $17 I believe. These included har gow/crystal shrimp dumpling, steamed shrimp, sausage, and chive dumpling, shrimp dumpling with mayo, taro, cilantro, and pork dumpling, chicken dumpling, and a spicy mushroom dumpling I believe and two others. It was a nice mix of textures with some chewier ones with the har gow being my preference of the bunch and of the shrimp ones. It was a solid mix. We also got some Pork and Shrimp Shumai for $7.50 which were very tasty. Nice and bouncy with a good texture from the shrimp primarily. The wrapper was also very thin so they were overall very tasty. I would recommend them. The Sticky Rice Lotus Wraps/Zongzi with pork, dried shrimp, and scallop for $7.95 wasn't as good. There was much more rice than filling and the pork inside was dry with the rice being a bit wet. Honestly, the ones sold by the woman in Chinatown are better than these and those are way cheaper and that should be the bare minimum. The Pork & Thousand Year Egg Congee for $8 wasn't my favorite either. The century egg flavor was much lighter than usual and the pork again wasn't the best. It was also oddly dark for a congee. I wouldn't recommend it much either. Outside of the overall good dim sum, a couple of the other dishes were very tasty outside of as mentioned the congee and zongzi. I'd go back to try more dim sum even if there's places I prefer.

    Visited again for a second time and left with the same impression: satisfying meal, reasonably priced, decent service and overall very good.

    turnip cake + pan fried chive dumpling
    Donna T.

    Super interesting and delicious dim sum! What's unique is Dim Sum Palace's variety of dumplings that aren't usually offered elsewhere. We ordered the roast duck dumplings, taro cilantro and pork dumplings, pan fried chive and pork dumpling, turnip cake, and shrimp rice noodle roll. The duck and taro dumplings were incredibly flavorful, soft, yet had a satisfying bouncy texture. The turnip cake and pan fried chive dumpling were pan fried to perfection; usually at other dim sum restaurants the crisp is always lacking. Another plus is that they provide chili oil and soy sauce right off the bat! I'd skip on the shrimp rice noodle roll though as the texture of the noodle was surprisingly a bit dry/rigid, and the shrimp was overcooked. We came at an off hour so it wasn't too busy and service was pretty quick. There's pictures to the dimsum which are helpful, and you order directly on the paper menu. I'd definitely want to come back and try the other dumplings and dimsum.

    Great food and service without having to go to Chinatown. We were seated quickly with reservations for a party of 6 and food came out fairly quickly. The dim sum choices are a variety and many of the options are traditional Cantonese. We sat upstairs where larger tables for groups are which is near bathroom as well. It's deceiving bigger than it looks from the outside. Just be careful of the hot tea because they come in glass pots which can be hot. Love that they offer tea choices though! Try the hot brown rice tea - so good!

It was packed even around 5pm but we didn't have to wait long, just enough for them to clean the table. I was actually thinking of avoiding this place since I read one review where Chinese clientele were being seated in the back of the restaurant... um I'm Chinese ... I was seated at the second table at the front. Anyway, we weren't hungry so we only ordered 2 dishes and white rice. Our usual Shrimp with Walnuts and Peking Pork Chops. L felt like getting Egg Drop soup for some reason. Like did I dine at Uncle Lou's to eat authentic Chinese food? hmm yes and no. Uncle Lou serves Cantonese dishes that's slightly Americanized...I knew this was a popular spot with non-Asians so obviously I needed to review it for myself and I also do restaurants recommendations for... non-Asians, not through social media, so they might enjoy the food but the restaurant is too busy...The food looks great, but it won't hit like a good authentic mostly Chinese spot. Egg drop soup..$5...small bowl...tastes like it could've come from any Chinese fast food restaurant but I think he saw other tables ordering it so he wanted something warm but the soup wasn't as good as other Chinese places we've been to...cough ..not in Chinatown. I had one shrimp and a small piece of pork chop and then we took the rest home. It was okay. Like it looked exactly like the real dishes but there was just something missing... but everyone around me was enjoying their food. Service was pretty good for such a popular spot and yes it was completely packed before 6pm on a Friday. Prices are more than your really good hole in the wall restaurant but less than a more upscale Chinese restaurant but that's to be expected when it's geared toward tourists and non-Chinese clients. The food wasn't bad at all, not wow, it was amazing, but good. I showed some pics to my mom and she thinks their Crispy Chicken looks really delicious...I'd actually take her here but it's too far of a walk from where she usually goes in Chinatown... I'd like her opinion on the food.

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.
