    ***cash only establishment*** Ambiance: This is a classic Cantonese/Hong Kong style establishment where it is open seating and you may end up sharing the table with a random stranger! I felt like this can be hectic and uncomfortable for a lot of people! Especially if you don't speak Cantonese because the women who run here have limited English! Service: The women here are very friendly! It's helpful to speak Cantonese, but if you're patient with their limited English, I think you can get by! Food: The food is made to order so it will take about 10-15 minutes after you place your order. They will call out your # (on the receipt) when the order is ready. The number will be called out in Cantonese and English. The food was great. I'd recommend ordering the ha gap (shrimp dumplings), any of the baked goods, and the BBQ pork rice. My only gripe was that I wish they did not give disposable containers for dine in customers. So wasteful.

    Roast Pork Rice Noodle Roll & shumai

    I believe this location opened recently (I've been ordering delivery at their other locations). The price points here are much better, so I stopped by to check it out. Upon entrance, there's a bakery section on the left. I ordered iced milk tea, shumai and roast pork rice noodle rolls. Was told that it would take about 7-8 minutes. The dining area was kinda packed. It's pretty cramped in there in comparison to the Times Square location. The food: Iced milk tea was OK but thought $4.50 was a bit much for Chinatown Shumai was good, same as other locations Roast pork rice noodle rolls were on par but did not come with choy sum (vegetables) like other locations. I guess cuz it's a couple bucks cheaper. They also don't have the yummy homemade chili oil. I asked for chili oil and was handed packets of Chinese takeout hot sauce euw. Overall, good spot for some cheap eats. Would probably get takeout instead of dining in.

    Visiting Chinatown and stumbled onto Dim Sum Sam. It has 2 other branches with one in Time Square. Cash only for this location. Price is really good. Roast pork is $12/lb on 7/1/2025. Back home in California, I have to pay $18/lb!!! I thought the cost of living in New York is expensive. Food quality: Roast pork - skin was still crispy after I took it back to the hotel room for dinner. They must've gave me the pork belly. I should've requested a leaner section of the pig. The rice roll (cheung fun) was freshly steamed when I ordered. It has a soft, slippery-smooth texture that's still slightly bouncy, not overly firm or mushy. Good cheung fun! Service: you have to lineup and order from the counter. You can study the menu while in line. The cashier packaged my to-go items well and added in utensils without me asking. My Chinese food cravings was satisfied. Yummy!

    Dim Sum Sam 80 Bowery BBQ Spare Rib over Rice The main course appeared to be spare rib tibs and not full size spare ribs. Also included with this platter is cabbage, white rice and soy sauce. The cabbage is a fantastic side dish, but it didn't go well with this platter. It was a large portion, but there will not be a next time.

    2 bbq meats over rice. Cha siew (roast pork) and scallion chicken

    2nd time doing take out. I ordered the same thing as last time - - 2 bbq meats over rice. I got cha siew (roast pork) and scallion chicken. This time there was more meat on the chicken and the roast pork pieces were thicker cuts. Quantity was better this time, but the meats were a bit on the dry side. Can't seem to get it right. A bit inconsistent, hit or miss.

    The honey lemon was good, but the coffee tastes so delicious, we ordered one more to go!

    It was my first time at this location, I've been to the one on 40th St. It's a Chinese bakery type of place. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and wait for pickup. The place is cozy with a nice seating area. The service is great - they are so patient to explain any questions about the menu. The dishes were tasty and the prices are so reasonable. We'll be back for more!

    Grand opening. Foods at affordable prices I would say as a local. Spacious and new furniture for patrons to enjoy some buns and tea/coffee. Though I only came here for breakfast, I see that they also sell other traditional dim sum foods as well as Chinese takeout like noodle soups, chicken, duck, pork over rice dishes.

    Saw that Dim Sum Sam opened, and it was fairly crowded inside with people purchasing baked goods. There is a fair amount of seating but not too large. Though there is baked goods and other food options, I decided to try the $5.75 small roast pork rice box. The price and portion was decent but the rice needed more sauce. The roast pork tasted dry. Will give it some time and try to return to try other things on the menu. Good location and ideal for grab and go.

    We've been to several different locations of Nan Xiang before and it is always a favorite. When we…read morediscovered the Koreatown Nan Xiang was right around the corner from our hotel this visit, we made it a priority to visit, and we brought friends who were new to soup dumplings (XLB). There was a wait list to get seated when we arrived but the process was simple and moved quickly, and service was prompt and food came out quickly. We ordered both the standard pork XLB and my faves, the pork and crab ones, as well as pan fried pork dumplings which I was surprised to discover were also full of soup, chicken corn dumplings, and two noodle dishes: rice cake with pork & mustard greens, and pan fried noodles with beef. Servers were conscientious about allergies and very specific about letting us know which items were which, but other than that were largely appropriately hands off. They did ask us, mid-meal, if it would be ok if a service dog were at the next table to ours, which I thought was courteous. (The service dog was adorable and well behaved.) All the food was fab, which we expected. It's nice to come in a group and be able to order more items for a greater variety. The rookies executed well (and thanked us for the instructions on how to eat XLB to avoid getting soup everywhere) and were pleasantly surprised by my longtime favorite, the rice cake and mustard greens. I'll need to remember that the pan fried pork dumplings also have soup, because I really liked the texture of them. Such good food, and as always, better shared with friends.

    I'm being an overly harsh critic- this place is honestly great. The service was quick and…read moreattentive. It was a clean restaurant. The food quality and taste was amazing. Just a few things to pick on. 1) cucumber dish was good, but did feel it lacked a bit flavor and spice. Huge portion 2) wine cold chicken, felt like it was nothing special. Definitely had better elsewhere and prob wouldn't order again. Had food remorse and wish I ordered another cold dish 3) pork xiao long bao, soooo flavorful and juicy. Like I felt like I was having soup. I think the skin was a little too thick for my liking. Overall would definitely come back if I was in the area but would seek to come if it wasn't convenient.

I really liked the scallion pancake and eggplant. The pancake wasn't crispy/dry, but rather the exterior was crisp and the inside was still a little soft/fluffy. It's the first time I had a scallion pancake that wasn't just straight dough inside/outside, or so thin that it got crisped out. I really liked this texture profile though. The eggplant was 10/10; the eggplant was cooked well, so tender but not soggy. The sauce was really good too such that it was sufficient spice but not flaming. Would recommended. I enjoyed the cucumber salad and tofu as well, but have had better. Seasoning and prep were good though -- although the tofu was cooked so tender (or maybe was silken tofu to begin with) that the whole table was struggling with carrying it from plate to mouth -- heh. Food came out very quickly; staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Decent amount of seating with a cozy vibe. It was a good meal, not my favorite Szechuan spot, but definitely hit the spot.

It's quite spacious back there. They will call your number to pick up the food. They have a screen in the back with the order number being called. They have a condiment station with chili oil, soy sauce, sriracha. The chopsticks, forks, spoons are in the drawers. You clean up after yourself when you finish eating since it's self-serve. I like their wonton and beef stew noodle soups. It comes with fresh green vegetables. Very tasty. They have rice rolls. I got the shrimp rice roll. That was very good. It came with fresh green vegetables also, a plus. They also have congee. It has small bits of meat in it, but it's still very good congee base and satisfies cravings. You have to ask for white pepper at the front register. I didn't see it at the condiment station. As a snack or part of the combo, they have egg tarts. That was just ok. I'm too full to also eat that with the meal anyways. For drinks, the HK milk tea, especially the hot one, is very good. I got it without sugar. Their soy milk and iced lemon tea is also very good. Congee or rice roll with a drink is great for breakfast or late meal since they open early 8am and close late midnight in the W40th theater area. Very solid place to grab some food.

    Nice and clean inside with plenty of seating in the back…read more They have dim sum as well as your standard Chinese bbq items like roast duck, roast pork, and cha siu. I guess the prices are normal for NYC... meaning high vs most other places. Having grown up in LA around good dim sum and being lucky enough to try dim sum across Asia I'd say the food here is average.

I was browsing for places with scallion pancakes and I came across this restaurant. I saw they had a scallion pancake beef rook which I'd never seen before. It was fried and crispy on the inside with tender beef on the inside, that was slightly savory slightly sweet. I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place.

Some of the most memorable dishes were the Mapo Tofu ($13.99), Hutaoli Roast Chicken ($43 for whole), Spicy Pot Potato ($19), Roasted Green Beans ($22), etc. All of the food is good, but definitely pricey. While the food also came out quickly, our drinks came out towards the end of our meal. It's a good spot for big parties as it never got too busy even on a Saturday night. They also have private rooms. The live music was fun, but also made it hard to have conversation.
