I very much was looking forward to try some of these dishes that look so fantastic. I strongly recommend the short ribs and the crispy duck. These were exceptional. The other dishes we ordered we're just mediocre, including the chicken the noodles and the shrimp. The service was less than mediocre. I asked four times for a knife but never received one. read more

Came on a cold Saturday night and got seated right away with a group of 4. We got a wide selection of things from the expansive menu-- from the dim sum to the more traditional Chinese dishes, everything was a hit. The pork xiao long bao was a stand out for me, it was rich and savory and I could eat a whole order myself. We ordered: - pork xiao long bao - hot and sour soup - pork steamed buns - scallion pancake - sautéed string beans - tri nut chicken - shredded beef with chili peppers - shanghai sautéed thick noodles with veg The serving sizes were plentiful for our group, we even took home left overs. Everything was so fresh and the mains came with plenty of white rice. The drinks were great, everyone got a different cocktail and we had no complaints. Overall a great value. We were initially planning to walk in to DTF but the wait was over 2 hours. I'm glad we pivoted to come here instead. read more

I had the pleasure of going here a couple of times in the past week and was impressed by the menu and the service each time. We were immediately greeted and sat at a table in the back dining room, which can be mostly private or lively, especially as there are some larger tables back there. We had the xiao long bao, both pork and crab and they were nicely prepared and flavored, with the traditional vinegar served and we carefully navigated getting them off the paper in the dim sum steamer and onto the soup spoon. Warm, brothy and tasty! We had some shumai and pan seared pork dumplings that also were nicely prepared. As we were celebrating a special occasion we had a dish off the menu, scallion and ginger crab. It was expertly prepared and the delicate crab and the tasty sauce mixed well together. The standout dishes continued with the dry sautéed crispy shredded beef, the Tingling Curry Chicken hot casserole, and the red cooked short ribs in Hang Chow style being ultimate comfort food in the cold weather. The Shanghai fried rice was also top notch as an accompaniment or could be a main course. We had some pea shoots as well as some water spinach (off the menu). Both brought clean, bright flavors and some greens to the mix, though the beef ribs come with some greens as well. Service was attentive and the water glasses and tea cups were kept full throughout our meals. It is an excellent, traditional Shanghainese restaurant and the casserole recipes have been handed down from generation to generation, bringing deep, wonderful flavors, as they are slow cooked to perfection. read more

The beau and I popped in here on Valentines Day to deliberately avoid the silly fixed menus and set prices that pop up on this holiday. We were greeted in a friendly and excited manner and shown to our table. The menu is full of delicious looking dishes (love the pictures) so it was hard to choose. We had the pork spare ribs and steamed shumai to start. Both were great but I prefer a sauce on the ribs and these were served naked. Then we designed our own dish of chicken w veggies in a brown sauce and also had some noodle dish. Everything was delicious and very affordable! read more

I had a craving for dim som so I stopped in here for a late lunch. I was pleasantly surprised when they handed me a happy hour menu. Win win in my book! Peaceful, cozy, warm atmosphere and they serve some really good authentic dim sum. Dim sum is available every day at all meals. Steamed Shumai Shanghai style come 3 to an order - a nice mix of minced pork and sticky rice. Pork Dumplings with Chili Sesame Sauce- this was my favorite. Light steamed dumplings with a nice spicy sauce. Topped off with a Lychee Martini... a perfect vacation lunch! read more

I tried my first Peking duck at this fine establishment on Saturday afternoon. It was outstanding! But what was even better, was the service provided. When my friend and I got pork soup dumping, the Dan Dan noodle and the Peking duck pancakes, our server played everything and it was truly an amazing experience. If I'm ever in the city and craving Sichuan again, I will most definitely return here. Thank you Tri Dim! read more

Tri Dim West is a decent Chinese restaurant in the Upper West Side, serving up a wide variety of Shanghainese, Cantonese, Szechuan dishes. Peking duck and crab meat and pork xiao long bao were the standout dishes. Although we were the only Chinese on the night we visited, we were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of their food. The dining experience was accessible for non-Chinese as they kindly provided chopsticks, forks and food clips. Service was attentive--the server replaced our dropped chopsticks with a new pair, without us even having to ask. The environment is tranquil and spacious compared to other traditional Chinese spots I've been. Perfect for dates and groups (yes, we went there on a date night, and the other customers were mainly couples). ＊Shredded Crispy Duck (Half) 手撕鴨 $33 *** I am not really fond of peking duck, but their meat wasn't too fatty which was spot-on for me. We ordered half and it was the perfect portion for two. ＊Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumpling 蟹粉小籠包 $13 *** While for the xlb, I could actually see and taste the crab meat. The thin wrapper barely held together the rich filling inside. As I took a bite, a burst of rich meat broth spilled out. ＊Rice Cake w. Pork and Pickled Cabbage 雪菜豬肉年糕 $16 ** Shanghai stir-fried rice cake was solid. It absorbed the slightly sweet and salty glaze and contrasted well with pickled cabbage. ＊Szechuan Dan Dan Noodle 四川擔擔麵 $15 The chili oil in the dan dan noodle was flavourful yet we wished it could be spicier. ＊Scallion Pancake 蔥油餅 $9 ＊Shanghai Bean Curd Puff 上海烤麩 $11 ＊Jelly Fish w. Scallion Sauce 蔥油海蜇 $12 The starters we got were delicious. I was amazed by the scallion pancakes as I've tried many underwhelming ones in NYC. Theirs was crunchy with a chewy interior. read more

I love Suzie & Jennie! After eating here once, i feel so taken care of, i cant wait to come back. Id only been twice. It had been several weeks since I'd been there. One day i was doing my walk in the neighborhood & considered getting take out. Suzie saw me lookin at the menu outside, & her genuine sunny disposition, waved. I decided to eat there. They remember your name, they are personable & are such a joy to be around. What attracted me to the place is their Create your own dish special, with a base price of $16.99. I am a finicky eater. I love adding the vegetables the way I want. I ordered the Amazing Chicken, another time another time. Yesterday I took my brother there for his birthday. They brought out a cake with a candle. You know those stories, when someone leaves like a 100% tip, or like $1,000 tip? If i had it like that, they would be the ones I'd leave that kind of tip to. Go for the food, come back for Suzie & Jenny. I've given them nicknames. Suzie is Sunshine & Jenny is Sunset. They would make any rough week or bad day forgettable, because you leave so taken care of. read more

We had a great meal here! The wait staff seemed to be very invested in ensuring that our experience was exceptional. We started with soup dumplings, which were tasty, but not really hot enough. Next were delicious Dan Dan noodles. Perfect spice. The crispy shrimp and scallops were delicious, we preferred the shrimp to the scallops. Finally, duck egg rolls, fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Some delicious surprises: The beansprouts with chives was super fresh & succulent braised duck had a lovely light sweetish flavour that worked. The sweet & sour ribs are yummy bite sized chucks. Great crisp batter and wrapped in gorgeous tangy sticky sauce. Pity about bone to meat ration but hight recommended. Disappointments? Have had better Peashoots -- very bland despite the garlic. It was very wet / stewed & chewy. I would have. Nice but personally would have preferred garlic a bit crisper or some chillis / something to bring out the flavours and maybe younger pea shoots? Not tender. Not recommending? The curry Singapore Noodles were average. Not recommending. Large chunky chopped onions & spring onion. Salty egg chunks. Weirdly sweet curry flavour. Decent amount of shrimp. Minuscule bits of diced char sui pork, thickly julienned carrots and overly dry slivers of beef. It was easily worst item ordered (shame as one of my favourite comfort foods). Would have benefited from some beansprouts/ bamboo shoots & less onions -- or a bit of oil? It was super super dry. read more

Doing a fun trip to UWS President's weekend. Wanted to start with some dim sum for a takeout lunch before our museum adventures. Our favorite was the Peking Crispy Duck Roll. Red cooked short ribs a treat but a bit expensive for four relatively small ribs. Other dishes quite reasonable. Enjoyed the Hong Kong Shumai. I was so so on the Steamed Pork Bun. Good sauces, rice, and side of spinach. Phoned in order and all ready as promised. Interior of restaurant pleasant. We haven't had dim sum for a long time, and overall this was tasty with many different textures. read more

I visited the restaurant with my parents looking for a quick bite to eat and we were all craving Chinese food. I hadn't had good Dim Sum in a while and I was craving dumplings. I ordered shrimp dumplings, a pork bun, a Diet Coke, and a build-your-own bowl where you can choose the vegetables, protein, and sauce that you want. I chose shrimp, sprouts, baby corn, mushrooms, and snow peas with my sauce on the side that I took home later. The food was really good, and my cravings were satisfied. I loved the pork bun in particular because the flavor of the sauce combined with the juicy pork in the center of a delicious bun really made my afternoon. The only reason why I knocked one star off of my review is that they told us they couldn't seat us in the back where we could have more space because "they were doing some work on the back part of the restaurant" which we understood, but later saw them seating other customers. It didn't make any sense to us. Although the seating arrangements could have been more comfortable, the quality of the food and service really made up for it. Our food came quickly, our bill came quickly, and our orders were taken in good time. Given the success of our meal, I would say that I would gladly come to eat here again. read more

Generous portions was provided, even with the chili oil I asked for, and sides of sauces that came with. I was happily surprised by the food and my friend loved it so much that asked for name of the place after we left. Vegetarian options also available. Chrysanthemum tea for those who want herbal (naturally, no caffeine) options They also have delivery and pick up. Super close to the 77th Street train station. If driving, may be tougher to get parking but there's the $12+ per half hour parking garages nearby. If you want to visit someone at the Lenox Hill hospital, there's that around the corner from too. Highly recommend. read more

Such an authentic spot for the UES - happy to see so many table filled up on a Tuesday night! They have a happy hour from 3-6 that we sadly couldn't make but will def be back to try! My friend and I both loved the crab and pork soup dumplings - thin dumpling skin and hearty meat cooked to perfection. This might be my second favorite, and I've never enjoyed the crab version before this. It's not too fishy tasting. ($13) The pea shoots are another classic and were very tasty and well sautéed ($22) must get! My last favorite was the sautéed beef thick noodles. Really bouncy noodles and the beef was tender. ($17) Other honorable mentions include the braised pork - amazing portion and tender pork with bok choy in the dish too! ($34) Honestly such a gem on the UWS and very decent portions for the price. Amazing service as well! read more

We got take out on Christmas Day. Not surprisingly, the order took much longer longer to fill than promised on DoorDash. It was 1 hour and 20 min from order being placed to be being ready for pick up by driver. That was the only problem we had. Food was great. We especially liked the shrimp dumplings. Two of the dishes that were supposed to be crispy were not, but I imagine would be better if ordered to eat there. Those were Chan-do chicken and tangerine beef. Flavor excellent on both. We loved the sautéed eggplant with garlic sauce, chicken with tri-nuts and sautéed string beans. Spiciness was mild. I would request to have it amped up a little on green beans and tangerine beef. read more

Outstanding food and service we don't have to order any longer as them remember our likes and delivers what we like perfectly,

Great service, but food was disappointing. The waiters are quick and our server Yuki was very friendly and genuine. The dim sum we ordered was just okay. We got pork soup dumplings, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves, and shrimp dumplings. All came out really quickly -- a little too quickly considering they were steamed dishes. - The soup dumplings were not bad. The meat inside was juicy and it, along with the soup, was on the sweeter side. The skin was just the right thickness. I wouldn't recommend getting the Crispy Duck Roll or Scallion Pancakes. The crispy duck roll was dry, and the scallion pancake was like a deep-fried chewy blob of dough and kind of tasted like a taro cake. We also ordered Ants on a Tree and the Yung Chow Fried Rice, both of which looked and smelled better than they actually tasted. The Ants on a Tree was way too salty. The Yung Chow Fried Rice was underwhelming and just tasted like it was missing something -- it wasn't bland, but it wasn't as flavorful as we would've liked. I probably wouldn't return or recommend this place for dim sum. Didn't feel satisfied with the meal. read more

Some friends and I visited Tri Dim Shanghai West. We always thought it was the best Chinese food on the UWS. Unfortunately, the quality has gone down hill. All of our dishes were tasteless.

Found this place as it was close to the natural history museum. We arrive at 5:30 right in time for happy hour which is from 4-6pm. Everything on the happy hour menu is $7 from food to drinks. We ordered a few apps and some cocktails. We were not impressed by the cocktails and would not recommend paying full price for them. All of the dumpling dishes we ordered were undercooked and gummy tasting. I did love the scallion pancake. The service was good; quick and attentive. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Friday evening but did start to fill after we left. I wasn't impressed and wouldn't be back, especially if it wasn't happy hour. Quality was not worth the price! read more

Great sit-down resto for Chinese food in the upper west side of Manhattan. They serve family style dishes and a "build your own plate" menu. We opted for family style. Dishes: Young chow fried rice- flavorful and generous with shrimp pork and veggies Chicken salted fish fried rice- my favorite and this didn't disappoint. The salted fish was not overpowering and the dish itself had a good umami flavor. Beef and broccoli- a classic dish and seasoned well. Softened beef with bokchoy- comfort food, tender beef with brown sauce similar to beef and broccoli Crispy prawns with crunchy veggies- a great dish! Unshelled prawns, deep fried and topped with crisp peppers, garlic shallots and spices Baby shrimp with garlic sauce- baby shrimp, unshelled, sautéed with brown sauce similar to beef and broccoli. Noodles with minced pork - a spicy vermicelli dish in brown sauce with ground beef and Chinese broccoli. This was a very savory dish and full of flavor. Sesame chicken - an elevated classic take out dish. My son loves the flavor and the chicken was tender. Interior is clean modern and comfortable. Servers are friendly and service is prompt. Would recommend! read more

My new Chinese comfort food spot! Would come here every time I will have dimsum cravings, specifically hakao (steamed crystal shrimp)! It was so plump. I should have ordered another round. I will just come back. Other food we ordered were the wonton soup, the salted egg yolk custard buns, the chicken and broccoli, and the red bean paste shortcake (dessert). The soup was a good start. The buns were really good too. Not too salty, and it had just the right balance of "sweet and salty!" The chicken and broccoli came with one cup of rice, which was enough for me and my husband. The sauce was not as sweet as I expected, which was good! It wasn't overwhelming. We ended with dessert, the red bean paste shortcake. It was served warm/hot, a yummy end to the meal! I made a review on another platform, but this place was so good, I have to share as much as possible! read more

Food is always reliably great!! Customer service is EXTRAORDINARY!! I made a mistake and ordered from their sister store (too many cocktails before placing my online order)!!

The food is excellent. The sizzling rice soup is a favorite. Great service and atmosphere.

Overall ok place. The string beans lacked a lot of flavor and were kinda too wet for me. The pork dumplings 6 were amazing and the best thing we got. Hefty bites. The thick noodles were the second best thing - vegetables. Really good tasty noodles. I had to grab silverware which I was glad I did. But they didn't have napkins in the bag! Blast! That sucked a little. Friendly service. Got it for takeout. Total was about $40. Wouldn't go again. Not bad food; not great food. read more

We took a party of eight people to this restaurant last night and had an absolutely outstanding experience in every way!

First boujee dim sum place I've been to! Definitely not your traditional "dim sum" experience with the servers strolling around with carts of food, but still, the food was amazing served normally. I honestly wouldn't really consider this dim sum, since we just order smaller dishes straight from a menu, but that's okay; I think they wanted to keep the restaurant as less busy as possible. The food was all extremely good. We ordered pan fried chicken dumplings, a scallion pancake, duck rolls, steamed pork buns, and sticky rice. These are all of my favorite Chinese comfort dishes, and I was very very satisfied!! Everything was super affordable; this meal for two people was just a little over $40!! The restaurant itself is super clean and fancy! Upper West Side Dim Sum for ya!! I really really enjoyed this place. Highly recommend since it's also so close to Central Park :) read more

TDW definitely blew my expectations! I'm slowly doing a tour of the Chinese options scattered throughout the West 60s-80s (Han Dynasty - burn-your-mouth-off Szechuan but the salt and grease always leave me feeling like my stomach's being wrung out; Jing Fong - a hard pass) and, for Mother's Day, my mom put her foot down and said she wanted food from the motherland. TDW has some sidewalk seating available but I actually prefer the room all the way in the back, with a pretty view of the garden backyards. We ordered a ton of food for four people, with more than enough to take back home, and the prices were all extremely reasonable. (1) Xiao long bao. I can't resist these on a menu. The ones here had some nice crabby broth but the wrapper was a little too thick for my taste. (2) Corn, chicken, and egg soup. Kind of an odd combination but this was my go-to childhood soup. I loved pouring this over rice. TDW's version has thinner shreds of chicken rather than chunks. Portion was enough for two people to split. (3) Peking duck. This is an absolute must-get. Almost transported me back to Beijing (well, not quite) but all the accoutrements were there - thin crepe wrappers, slivers of young green onion, sliced cucumbers, the sauce. The waiter even wrapped up a few for us. (4) We went with two veggie dishes - the mixed delight and the pea shoots. A nice injection of green. (5) Spicy beef and green peppers. One of the best renditions of this dish I've had so far and I'm usually a total wimp when it comes to spicy food. This is several notches above American-spicy. The one dish I would probably not get next time is the sautéed fish fillet. I liked the abundance of water chestnuts and mushrooms that came with it but wasn't a fan of the thick, gloopy sauce. Would definitely come back and try their selection of dim sim and cold appetizers. read more
