    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

    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!

    Loved this! The staff were all great. The food was delicious. We ordered far too much to have comfortable bellies but they were happy bellies. The beef chow fun was amazing. The shredded fried duck turnip cakes were to die for. The scallion pancakes were very tasty. The bbq pork buns had amazing filling. You really can't go wrong here, but those were some of my favorites. I can't wait to come back here next time I visit.

    This used to be much better. Now the dim sum is ok, not great. It's still worth it if you like to share food and try lots of dishes.

    Finally made it to Uncle Lou, often talked about as one of the best Cantonese spots in Chinatown,…read moreand it definitely lived up to the hype. We went straight for their signature deep fried garlic chicken and decided to share the Peking duck--and both dishes were beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. The chicken, in particular, was crispy, aromatic, and absolutely delicious, though it's worth noting you'll want to be a bit careful as there are quite a few small bones throughout. The Peking duck was equally impressive, cooked perfectly with rich, satisfying taste in every bite. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into both quality and presentation. On top of the food, the staff were adorable and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance felt warm, lively, and comfortable--perfect for a relaxed meal in Chinatown. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with standout dishes and great energy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

This second go around was a celebration dinner with my brother so we ordered quite a bit to share. For starters we had their crab rangoon, wontons in chili oil, and salt pepper wings. The rangoons were perfectly crisp but the filling just didn't impress me all too much. I love a good smack of green onion & crab, this one lacked both. Definitely not my favorite rangoons and only 3??? Hmm. The wontons were sublime though. They were nice and plump with a nice punch from the chili oil they bathe in. The chicken wings were pretty standard, I kinda wish there was more pepper on it. It was nice and salty but severely lacked pepper for being a pepper oriented dish. As for the General Tsos? YUM. This was great. The ratio of batter to chicken wasn't bad and it had such a great crisp. The actual General Tso sauce was perfect as well, I could not stop picking at this. The Shrimp Lo Mein was also fantastic, very smoky which I'm a sucker for. The shrimps were perfectly cooked as well and the noodles..... bouncy umami goodness. Delicious food, decent prices, great service I should add. In Chinatown, you learn that hospitality is entirely optional. Here though, they are welcoming and communicate very well with you. Our waiter and the hosts were especially lovely on this night. For next time, I'd pass on the crab rangoons and go for their crispy garlic chicken over the salt pepper wings. There will definitely be a next time though!
