4.5 stars rounded up…read more Though I had but a small sampling of Nom Wah's extensive dim sum offerings, I liked what I tasted: -- Stuffed Peppers ($5.95): loved the textural contrast of crispy pepper & springy shrimp paste; a shallow pool of savory brown sauce served as the base. -- Pan-Fried Chicken & Cabbage Dumplings ($5.50): crisp wrapping encase a substantial & juicy filling. -- Shrimp Rice Rolls ($5.95): wasn't the best version I've ever consumed, but I appreciated the delicate noodle wrapper. I do prefer the shrimp to be more plump & flavorful, & my favorite ones tend to have sauces other than soy to drizzle on. My trio of items were a steal at barely $20. Nom Wah is an excellent pick for quality dim sum at rock-bottom prices. I arrived early to a mostly-empty restaurant which allowed their staff to be extra attentive. The waiter described what sauces & dishes he was placing on my table, & the waitress offered to fill my water bottle before I left, as it was a 90° day. A lovely first impression!

One of the better options for dim sum in Chinatown but still pretty average. I do like that they…read morehave shrimp rolls which were good but maybe too sweet. The sticky rice in leaf had a good consistency although small with minimal ingredients. The shrimp dumplings are a staple but maybe too much flour which made the outer layer too doughy and chewy. The pork dumplings are good although smaller and tasted more like the frozen variety. Service was slow although there was only one waitress for the several tables. She did fill my water but I had to ask. And seemed to be somewhat frugal when I asked for extra napkins and only received ONE?!? She did come back later and gave me one additional napkin without being prompted. The biggest advantage for this place is it offered shrimp rolls but there are many other options available nearby.

We ended up having to move another table that had just seated to get our preferred table sizes next to each other, but the staff accommodated it with some back-and-forth. Once we were there, there were carts going around. Enough to be regularly getting food without being too interrupted, but would have liked to have a few more options every once in a while. We also requested some Chinese broccoli early on in the meal, but it came out pretty close to the end. Seems like a la carte orders are not handled in a timely way during dimsum hours. Otherwise, dimsum food is standard quality, as good as expected, but nothing too wow-ing. Solid for the price and the vibes. It ain't too fancy here, but a solid choice for dimsum if you're craving it.

So I am visiting from out of town, and I'm staying nearby. When I was preparing to come on this…read moretrip, I checked things out beforehand because I knew that I would be eating out. This place immediately came to mind after I read the reviews, and I ordered takeout tonight. I am very pleased to say that this was an amazing experience! I opted to do fairly simple dim sum, mainly because a restaurant that has "dim sum" in its name should shine in this category. I was able to place my order online, and had the scallion pancake, the pork, soup, dumplings, the chicken and shiitake dumplings, and the shrimp shu mai. The order was prepared, extremely fast, but very attentively. The packaging was thoughtful and protective, without being wasteful. They included a small container of delicious black vinegar/soy for dipping, and some chopsticks. All of the dishes were fantastic! My favorite was probably the shrimp dumplings, and I was happy that it was two for one night. Everything tasted very fresh and well-made. The seasoning was spot on, without being overly salty. My only regret was that after going to pick these up, I noted that the inside of the establishment appeared to be quite quaint and comfortable, and would definitely recommend that people check this place out for dine in options. The staff were very friendly, and made the pick up experience a positive one. So, if you're in the area and really want to have some dim sum, I would definitely recommend this place. I will most definitely be back in the future!!

Grand Palace is a fifteen-minute walk from us, and it's consistently one of our favorite local…read morespots. While most people only come here for the afternoon dim sum, the real magic happens on weekend nights when the big room is buzzing with a live band and a party on the stage. It's a mix of large families sharing exotic dishes and adventurous locals enjoying Chinatown-quality Cantonese food without the nightmare of city parking. If you're looking for a deal, the Twin Lobster ($40) is a steal and plenty for two people. Beyond the lobster, I highly recommend their Salt Baked dishes (perfectly seasoned), Beef Stew or Lamb Hotpots, Littleneck Clams with Minced Pork or Walnut Shrimp. The operation here is impressively professional. The staff are attractive and attentive, and they still provide those classic, welcoming touches like salted peanuts, fresh fruit, and complimentary dessert.

I come to Tom's Dim Sum every now and then since it's not too far from where I live. On my most…read morerecent visit, I ordered the sesame beef and the chicken with broccoli. Both dishes were good and came with rice. I appreciated that each meal had a nice balance of meat and vegetables, and the portions were satisfying. I ordered takeout, and my food was ready fairly quickly. I've also had their dim sum in the past, and I thought it was pretty decent. My main criticism is that the service can be a bit hit or miss. During my most recent visit, the person working at the front came across as a little rude. Since I ordered takeout, I didn't leave a tip, and after I declined the tip prompt, I felt like I got a bit of a side-eye when my food was handed to me. The interaction wasn't particularly friendly, which left a less-than-great final impression.
