    Roast Pork
    Harry P.

    Wonton soup amazing, soup dumplings amazing, best shrimp spring roll I've ever had really unique, roast pork was nice but the rest was another level

    Beef chow fun
    Christopher C.

    Very good spot-- came for Chinese new year w some friends and it did NOT disappoint. The bbq pork buns and the beef chow fun were solid, but I'd want to try other items! Need a veggie always and the eggplant twas swell Friendly waitstaff and lovely ambience. Cheers!

    哇!我吃饱了! The scallion cake was aight -- ode oily, to the point where the grease muted the flavor of the onion itself Xia Long Bao was super good tho, wrapper could benefit from being a little thinner but the actual soup itself was incredibly rich and balanced. The duck dumplings go BONKERS fr -- though I'm not the biggest fan of the gummy rice wrappers on dim sum, the actual duck meat itself was nothing short of mesmerizing. The small cubes of meat were incredibly tender and maintained the perfect ratio of fattiness to flesh, all enveloped in a rich brown sauce. Oh the goddamn Jiu Cai Jiao dumpling was a sleeper pick --, the succulent shrimp was starkly contrasted by the eye widening bright freshness of the chives. Like biting into a rain forest. The general Tso (yeah I ordered gtao suck me, it balances the other fresher and or spicier dishes well when eaten in tandem) was absolutely incredible -- the chicken was primarily breast meat and still managed to be succulent, while the breading itself was paper thing and crisp. The sauce had the perfect cornstarchy goopiness and was packed with fresh ginger and garlic. Highly recommend.

    We had to order a bowl of white rice for this salty dish.

    After a show, my Mom and I went around the corner to Dim Sum Palace, on 2nd Ave, to have an early dinner. We were starvin' like Marvin, and I ordered a lot of dishes. The service was excellent - we were supposed to have 1 more guest. They seated us first and did not make us wait. The decor is nice - love the beautiful design on the cups and dishes. The ribs and the house special were a little bit disappointing, but my favorite seafood dim sum and the duck were delicious. I would go back if I were in the neighborhood!

    Cozy dimsum spot, no carts but every dish was made fresh. We got a bunch of stuffs and Chicken Feet, Custard Buns, Congee, and Taro Dumplings stood out. I'd skip the XLB cause the wrapping was very thick. Bring a crowd so you can try more!

    Hot and fresh legit

    Been to the other location near theatre district was in a basement. Weird at first and thought hmm is it good, and it was. So tried this location and realized there's a bunch more. Standard dim sum fare with full dinner menu available. Key is hot and burning hot steamed items. And they didn't disappoint. No rush, friendly service. Will be back.

    23. BBQ Pork Buns
    Ashley J.

    Favorite dim sum in the city. Have come more times than I can count and to different locations throughout the city but most frequently East Village. Food is great and comes out very quickly. Menu is super affordable. I like the BBQ pork buns (my favorite), the scallion pancakes, duck egg rolls, shu mai, pan fried and soup dumplings. I also like the green balls with the bean paste in them for dessert.

    Siu mai

    Visited on a rainy day it was so perfect! The owner was so nice and talked to us so much! He was really funny and friendly!! Came for lunch but still had lots of seats, the restaurant is clean and nice! Got couple things, siu mai was excellent. Love the soup dumplings

    private dining room, can seat about 18 people

    If you're hunting for dim sum after normal brunch hours, Dim Sum Palace could be your spot. This low key restaurant's kitchen churns out great dim sum classics past the normal dim sum window of like, 2pm. In fact, you have until 10:30pm most nights to get your dumpling fix here in the East Village. While the no frills ambience isn't anything to write home about, it's the food most of us are there for. It's all about those steaming parcels of joy that hit better than any 3am delivery order, at least speaking for myself. Their turnip cakes have great char flavor. The veggie dumplings are for your meat-free or meat eating friends alike. And if you don't at least get an order of the shrimp rice noodle rolls, have you even dim summed? And we can't forget about my fave dim sum dish, the har gow. Always my go-to dim sum order. Dim Sum Palace also comes through with the stir-fried rice noodle game - their wide rice noodles with seafood has great wok flavor. And you can never go wrong with some scallion pancake action, unless you hate fun. You can also rent out their small private dining room for about 15 or so folks. You'll probably want to bring your own decorations to jazz up the space, but it's nice to know there's an option (there's probably a minimum spend requirement. Inquire within). It's not the best dim sum I've ever had, but at the end of the day, Dim Sum Palace checks all the boxes for anytime dim sum satisfaction without having to hoof it to Chinatown. Just be ready to ignore the nothing-to-write-home-about decor and let those flavors speak for themselves.

    Phenomenal customer service here!! Food is slightly small portion size but taste was good too. Great place for group dinners. We had a group of 12 and it was perfect

    Beef chow foon
    John S.

    The restaurant has a intimate feel with dim lighting and white tablecloth. My party was personally served by the owner, Mr. Tam who provided warm and genuine service. The prices on the menu are higher than what you normally see but overall the quality justifies the price. Except for the Phoenix feet which was a bit dry, the other dishes were so good, it could belong in a high end restaurant in China and Hong Kong. The beef chow fun had a tremendous amount of wok hei (breath of wok) and the beef was so tender. The owner was humble saying his chefs are lacking compared with chefs in Hong Kong and China, but the chefs at Dim Sum Palace belong in the top echelon. This is definitely a place for a nice meal if you want high quality dim sum and Cantonese food.

    Came in right at 11A on a Tuesday because we are tourists hehe. They greeted and welcomed us, then seated us accommodating with our baby and stroller. Their dim sum selections vary from the signature shu mai and shrimp dumplings to more adventurous shredded duck dumplings. We decided to order an assorted tray of dumplings, a few new items and the OG choices. Every single item we ordered was amazing! It was so extremely fresh and tasty! I recommend: anything you want to try lol. But do get the crispy pork ribs, so good with some white rice. Their crabmeat soup dumplings were tender and flavorful. I mean it was just everything I desired in a dim sum palace! They definitely got their name right. Plenty of room and love the ambiance of exposed brick. Just a clean look and feel while you have their delicious dishes. Thank you!

    Chicken soup dumpling -- amazing!

    Excellent!! Very fast. Very tasty. Very affordable. Excellent choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

The menu is all over the place in the best way possible,…read morewith everything from fried chicken and biscuits to spicy noodles, so there's something for everyone. The food comes at you from all angles, making it hard to decide what to order. I couldn't help but wonder if this used to be the old hip-hop club I used to go to!

This restaurant is part of the Chase Sapphire reserve dining credits! We had read reviews and had an idea of what we wanted to get, but also spoke with the waitress on her recommendations and ultimately went with: Pork dumplings Salt & Pepper chicken Tiger shrimp with walnuts Oyster mushroom rice noodles Snow pea shoots I think my favorite was the oyster mushroom rice noodles with steak. The rice noodles were so silky and the flavor was good. The salt and pepper chicken was also super crispy and very juicy and tender on the inside and whatever sauce that came on the side of it is so addicting. The tiger shrimp was also good, though the menu said it came with a romanesco cauliflower, but the dish was served with broccoli. The snow pea shoots are one of my favorite vegetable dishes and, in my opinion, was just a little overcooked and doesn't need the garlic oyster sauce that comes on top. It's such a cute restaurant and you can open the vending machine door and grab a surprise treat on your way out!

I started with the peanut chicken lettuce wraps (leaving one on the plate to save room), then moved on to the fried shredded beef and the fried chicken instant noodles (which really caught my eye) I was craving something heavier this time, and those noddles did justice. Overall, everything was satisfying. The lettuce wraps could've used more peanuts (I barely tasted them), and the fried shredded beef was labeled spicy but had zero heat. Still, the food hit the spot and left me full and happy. The service was outstanding. The restaurant dining area was very clean and well-maintained, my drink was always full, and the food came out quick and hot. The portions were very generous. I ended up taking some home, and they packed it up fast. Happy food, happy customer!

We started with egg drop soup and calamari. For mains we got sweet and sour pork, stir fried green beans, and crispy noodles with beef. Egg Drop Soup- Deliciously creamy and silky. This hits on a cold day. Calamari- Nice chewy calamari pieces with a crisp breading. You get a strong black pepper flavor that gives it a little zing. Sweet and Sour Pork- Crispy deep-fried pork pieces that were tender and juicy. The sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. Very tasty. Stir-fried Green Beans- This was wonderfully fresh. You still get a light crunch out of the beans and a garlicky finish. Crispy Noodles with Beef- Noodles were delightfully crisp with a savory sauce. The beef pieces were tender. Overall flavors and textures were lovely. Great experience overall!

    This lap cheong bamboo baked rice is my dream meal for under $11!!…read more Congee Village s a longtime chinatown staple (30 years strong!), serving family style cantonese dishes, dim sum, congee, and rice at reasonable prices. We also get a free mung bean sweet soup at the end. I've been to their Flushing location for dim sum before, but their entrees are even better imo. *Chinese Sausage Bamboo Baked Rice 金銀臘腸燉飯 $10.95 ** Such amazing value! So much lap cheong (chinese sausage/臘腸) and lap yuk (chinese cured bacon/臘肉) piled on top of seasoned rice. The rice soaked up all the oil from lap cheong and the sauces. *Sha Cha Beef and Vermicelli in Casserole 沙茶牛肉粉絲煲 $22.95 ** Almost every table ordered a casserole, and I was surprised by how much beef they packed in. The vermicelli noodles held onto the sauce well. Easily a "rice thief" dish *Sampan Congee 荔灣艇仔粥 $8.50 * The congee came out boiling hot. It was velvety, and loaded with toppings like shredded duck. Definitely eat it fresh though, because the heat from the clay pot makes the bottom start to stick together quickly. *Sauteed Lobster with Sticky Rice 糯米炒龍蝦 $48.95 (MP) * Many people rave about their lobster sticky rice online. It came with so many huge chunks of lobster so you can get your money worth it. There might be more lobster than sticky rice. It was also easy to pick the meat out with just a fork. *Fried Squid with Salt and Pepper 椒鹽鮮魷 $18.95 I wish it had a bit more salt and pepper, but otherwise the fried batter was thin and crispy. I've also never seen fried squid come in such huge, meaty pieces! *Honey Walnut Shrimp 核桃蝦球 $24.95 Skip. Walnut shrimp is usually a go-to, but this one was just okay.
