I had the pleasure of doing lunch with Dan, the keyboards for Blues Legend Buddy Guy, and I was overjoyed to learn he loved DimSum. I jumped at the chance to try the Chinatown location. We had a bunch of varied stuff from the DimSum Menu, and it was all top top notch. Cant remember exactly what we had, it's a picture menu, and as the waiter didnt seem to speak much English, it was point and shoot. All of it was distinctively yum. Like just about every place you can go in Chinatown, the premises appear slightly run-down, in that "we've been here for a hundred years, and you're coming here to eat, not ogle the architecture" way. Turned out not to be cheap-bill for 2 = $80 + change without any booze. But the quality of the food was over the top. Don't mind paying the freight, when the feed is worth it.

We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time. We came on a Saturday evening around dinner time and there was plenty of room for us to get a table immediately as walk-ins!

Please be advised, they do not take Apple Pay!…read more Both the egg yolk buns and shrimp friend rice were delicious! I went on Sunday afternoon and there were few parties dining in, so we were able to sit and get our food quickly.

As for the beef noodle soup, the quality of the ingredients was again excellent. However, they use a very potent chili oil in the broth, which ended up overpowering everything else. The chili oil was pretty much the only flavor I could taste. I went on a really busy day, and the wait time was about 2 hours. In my opinion, this restaurant is definitely not worth a 2-hour wait. However, if you can go when the wait is more reasonable, I'd say give it a try. Just don't go in with the super high expectations TikTok gives you. The customer service was really good as well, which definitely added to the experience. Overall, ok food and good service, but I think the hype and wait time are a little excessive.

Everything was super unique from traditional Chinese and nothing was too spicy! Definitely trust the experts. The wabbit season cocktail was good but I think I'd get another drink next time.

We were told there was no ice but that didn't bother us as the soda cans were cold. We ordered edamame, crab Rangoon, and Sweet and Sour chicken. Overall well worth the price and tasty. The sweet and sour wasn't overly sauced which is how I like it. Crab Rangoon had a slight sweetness but creamy and not too overly crab forward. Can't go wrong with edamame. Only wish they had lunch specials for weekends or accommodations to pay extra on weekends for the special. Also if they up charged for a side of fried rice instead of just steam rice would've been nice. But the menu does say no substitutions and I totally respect their rules - just would've been my preference. Totally worth checking out and will definitely be back to try more.

Beautiful, modern space with a full bar, group seating, and thoughtful touches like coat racks for cold days. I arrived early and the server was patient and kind, even bringing me ginger tea while I waited. The menu is extensive and especially strong when it comes to vegetarian options. The veggie bun and vegetable egg rolls were highlights. The egg rolls come out hot, so be ready. For entrées, I had the chicken pad see ew and my friend ordered the Panang Noodle. Everything was delicious. We also enjoyed hot sake, and the total was around $80, which felt very reasonable. The only drawbacks were minor. The space felt a bit cold due to all the windows, and service felt slightly stretched, though still accommodating. With a few small adjustments, this place could easily be a five-star restaurant. For now, it earns a solid 4.5 out of 5. Definitely worth a visit.

Never ordering through either app or restaurant again... Order placed before 6pm with an original ETA of 6:23pm - 6:38pm. Standard for most delivery options. 6:38 is here and order is still not ready for pickup. I message our first delivery person at 6:52 and they apologized and said the restaurant isn't taking very busy and still waiting for the order. Then, we get another delivery person because the first one cancelled. I message the second delivery person at 7:22 and they said they're still waiting and there was ~30 people waiting for their order and then claimed the restaurant staff was very rude about everything (details in images). At 8:03 we finally had some hope as our delivery person said we might get our order as our order number was 205 and they were at 200. Then at 8:23 our delivery person said Grubhub told them it might take an hour or more so they left...Mind you it's already been over 2 hours since we placed our order. At 8:49 our order was cancelled!! WTF, seriously? We wanted Chinese food and were willingly waiting and then for the order to be cancelled so late and with no other options left...absolutely unacceptable.
