This is the spot for Dim Sum for sure! If you are craving Dim Sum make sure you make a reservation. You don't want to have to wait because instant hunger will strike upon arrival. This restaurant is located inside a hotel, so parking is street parking. We usually get lucky with a spot pretty close, but you can also drop off in the round about and park after. Be sure to be rather aggressive in your ordering and requests for what is coming around. The staff rarely takes offense. The dumplings are light and delicious. The meats are varied and succulent. Enjoy the experience and eat well!! read more

No sauces with anything. My food was ridiculously salty. My son's dish looked like something I'd feed my dog. On second thought, I wouldn't even give it to my dog. I was really looking forward to the food but never again would I patronize this restaurant. read more

Ordered 1. Peking pork chop -fried with oily coating. Stale and not edible with a sweet gooey sauce 2 lobster with noodles $39 dollar dish with corn starch and noodles 3. Salt and pepper squid Absolutely flavorless and poorly fried I don't have a problem with food ever nor am I ever critical. The issue is that it gave me food poisoning. I was sick as a dog several hours later with nausea/vomiting and diarrhea. Avoid please read more

Given that this is the only real dim sum place in the area and focuses on that I'm giving it 4 stars. I recently went back after years...and if lived up to my expectations. I wasn't left disappointed nor was I blown away, right down the middle and satisfactory in all ways. The menu is diverse and also has a fish tank with fresh catch that you can select from. Weekends are clearly for family gatherings and there are enough large tables to accommodate even 10 people on one. Service is pretty friendly and to the point. Anyways just thought I would give my opinion on this place that has stood the test of time since you can't find it unless you know where it is. Thanks to maps today you won't get lost! read more

Remarkably good dim sum for a Chinese restaurant named after a city in Scotland. Our family Christmas tradition of Chinese food and a movie had to get a Covid season update, and Aberdeen was there for us. They don't do delivery, so be prepared to pick up your food. Basically, Aberdeen was authentic Chinatown dim sum, but in Westchester. They had almost everything we like to get at dim sum, including some of the rarer dishes like bean curd skin rolls and jellyfish with pork (jellyfish is really good and not at all slimy; you should try it!). The quality ranged from entirely acceptable for a good Chinatown dim sum restaurant (all of the shrimp dumplings, shrimp crepes, and steamed pork buns were high quality but not knock-your-socks-off good) to very good (the jellyfish was actually really well done: a bit spicy and mixed in with some sort of crunchy vegetable, which complemented the toothsomeness of the jellyfish perfectly). If we still can't go to Chinatown next year, or we get an urge for dim sum between now and then, we'll definitely come back to Aberdeen. read more

This is hands down my favorite dim sum place! I'm here at least once a week. Har Gaw (shrimp) and chive dumplings are my go to. I highly recommend this place. read more

The food was terrible, service even worse. The dumplings tasted like a soggy paper. If they would not be inside a hotel, they would not last. read more

Food was good, not greasy or overly salty but found it very overpriced for what we got.

Standard dim sum joint. I'm grateful this place exists because otherwise I would need to travel to Flushing or Chinatown for some dim sum. Fair prices, good variety of dim sum. The carts are wheeled around often and come to you often, which is nice (some places in NYC have huge venues with few carts). Standard service as well, pretty good for a chinese place. This place is located inside a hotel so it is unnoticeable from the exterior. read more

So my friend Harvey ( a true foodie) tells me that I must try Aberdeen. Then he invites us to join a bunch of friends yesterday at Aberdeen. All I can say is "WoW"! Truly a great experience. Not sure where to start since there were so many wonderful dimsum coming to the table, I finally had to stop counting. Let me just say... If you love dim sum, you must try Aberdeen. Can't wait to go back. For us, it's just a 50 minute ride and well worth it! read more

Very authentic Cantonese style food Decor a little dated and slightly awkward but the food and service was very good. read more

Aberdeen - Beef chow fun - Dim Sum Near Me - White Plains, New York

We moved to Westchester in 2020 from Brooklyn and were very sad to leave behind our beloved dim sum places in Sunset Park. I was thrilled to find Aberdeen - it's as good if not better than any of our old haunts in the city. LOVE this place and can't wait until post covid so we can dine in. For now, we've gotten takeout 4-5 times and made our way through about 3/4 of the dim sum menu. Favorites are the seafood Shu mai, stuffed eggplant, sticky rice in lotus leaves, XO turnip cakes, snow pea leaf and shrimp dumplings and steamed custard bun. read more

We had terrific dim sum takeout this week. While we will be excited to dine in one day, we missed dim sum from Aberdeen and take out worked beautifully! read more

Very easy to order dim sum by phone for curbside pickup. The website doesn't allow for ordering until noon. Delicious as always. One less meal this tired mama had to cook during this pandemic! Let's support our local businesses! read more

As a Chinese, This is probably the worst Cantonese restaurant I've ever been to ard NY. The food is way from authentic, too much 勾芡， too oily and extremely passive service, I would recommend trying out Chinese restaurants in Fairfield county or Queens or Manhattan for more legit Cantonese food. We didn't try dim sum here read more

Great restaurant attached to the Residence Inn. The food is tasty and you don't even have to go outside to get it.

Did pickup dim sum, got all the usual stuff.... Everything was good but not great.

Delicious and authentic dim sum restaurant in unassuming and somewhat hidden location. I usually prefer the dim sum to the larger dishes because you can't find them anywhere else nearby. BBQ Pork buns and red bean sesame balls are my favorites. read more

I've never had dim sum that I could really enjoy before (due to dietary restrictions). Aberdeen has changed that! They have such variety and YUMMY options, it's amazing I don't come here every week! Ok... I sort of do.... Anyway, their dinners are also good, fairly traditional Chinese food (eat in or take out), and they're super gracious about special requests...if you happen to be one of "those" people (like me...). Nevertheless, come for the dim sum. You won't regret it!!! (Though they will sneak meat/shellfish into the occasional pancake. Heads up.) read more

always has great food and great service. It's a standby go to restaurant for years some of the best Cantonese Chinese food you can get in the metropolitan area. read more

Great tasting dim sum. We had to wait 35 min. To get in 12pm on a Saturday without a reservation so reservations are recommended. Because of covid all the dim sum is to order. Ribs in black bean sauce is delicious. We ordered crispy eggplant, shumai, steamed pork buns, soup dumplings and egg custard were all delicious. One star removed because the crispy salt and pepper squid was chewy and over cooked. read more

Prime spot in White Plains for dim sum at lunch. Carts are moved around from which you can pick up what to eat, meaning that you would be eating in minutes time as you get a table (provided that it's isn't too busy). Pork Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling, Chicken dumpling, bean curd skin roll, sticky rice in leaves are always a good place to start with, before venturing to items like chicken feet, beef tripe. Weekend tends to get super busy from brunch hours. Friendly service doesn't hurt too. read more

This is over priced and tasteless Chinese food. Ordered $18 sesame chicken and got 4 PCs of chicken. Tried about 4 other dishes and they all tasted worse than a bad Chinese takeout place. I would rather go to Panda Express and get better tasting food and service that took over 1.5 hours to get. Go to Panda Express and you will be much happier with the taste. read more

Really, really, really good upscale Chinese food! You definitely are going to pay for it (and certainly not for amazing service...) but the sesame chicken is out of this world! I'll be back and would recommend to anyone looking for high end Chinese (much better than PF Cheng's). read more

Great place to get dim sum in WP. Don't expect dim sum like you find in SF Chinatown but it has the common popular dim sum items. If you're a dim sum fan, you know what I'm talking about. Get there early on the weekend because the line can get pretty crazy. read more

Absolutely love that I can get authentic dim sum without having to go all the way to the city. Food is really good. Never disappoints.

Delicious dim sum, very authentic, meatballs, chicken feet, pork bun, crepes, riceball, crystal shrimp dumplings, etc.. makes me feel good inside like if I was back on Mott St in NYC where I grew up. Just only they made tiepows. Don't know how to really spell that but it's like a breakfast steam bun with pork, egg, Chinese hot dog all the way n one. Figure I throw it out there. read more

Solid dim sum joint. It's the restaurant of the Marriott hotel. Parking is generally available. Everything they have is almost as good as Chinatown, which, considering how far away it is from Flushing and Manhattan, is quite an achievement. A few oddities on the dim sum carts like soup dumplings and roast duck, but no complaints! They serve a diverse clientele and are not too loud. read more

VERY good. By no means the best, but we definitely do not give a second thought to drive down to Manhattan/Queens anymore for weekend dim sum. Love their chicken feet! Also, the egg tarts are probably just as good as the ones in the city. The only item I did not care for was the short ribs-- strong gamey-pork smell. read more

Always good. Visits of years apart attest to this. Shumai, boiled pork, mixed seafood dumplings. Stuffed eggplant, chive pancakes. I'm happy

Open earlier everyday. 11:00-2:00 and 5:00-9:00. Food is good. You should try dim shin anyway, they are very delicious !

A very solid dim sum spot especially for being outside of NYC! I was not aware it was located inside a hotel so just FYI for those who are reading. Streamlined waiting process - you check-in and receive a laminated number. The staff are all very quick and attentive unlike other dim sum places where the carts take forever to come around your side. We ordered the baked pork buns, chicken feet, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), turnip cakes, pork shu mai, and bok choy for veggies. The XLBs were soupy but did have a thicker skin and stuck together. Turnip cakes don't have the egg. All-in-all quite tasty! read more

My wife and I drove out to White Plains to eat at Aberdeens after reading a recent article in the New York Times. We had just finished our dim sum when... there, on the wall, right beside our table, crawling contentedly along and sniffing the remnants of our dim sum, was a big brown godawful COCKROACH. I kid you not. We informed a waitress, and then the management. The response was, shall we say, muted--$6 knocked off a $36 bill. Yes, we shouldn't have payed at all. Blame it on age and a lack of desire to waste energy on the small stuff. So... if you like the company of filthy small brown scurrying insects when you eat, eat at Aberdeens. But when you see your little brown dinner friend, do me a favour and do what I should have done-- jump on top of your table, scream, and shout out in a very loud voice: COOOOOCKKKKROOOAACCHHH!! Instead, drive to Tarrytown and eat at a place called Sweetgrass. It is a fabulous place, not too pricey; they always have a good craft beer on tap, and the owners/management are absolutely charming. Try the House Club with sweet potatoe fries. Yum read more

My review is for dim sum, only. Aberdeen has been on my list of places to try for a long time. Many people have recommended Aberdeen to me for fairly authentic Cantonese food. This was my mom's restaurant of choice for her birthday. We went for dim sum, of which I have vague memories having to do with Chinatown, little fried chicken feet, and my sister hysterically crying. At about 12:30, there was a 10-15 minute wait. Aberdeen is located in a hotel in White Plains. It is bright and cute, and many families with young children were enjoying meals here. As far as authenticity, non-Asian customers are definitely in the minority, which I take as a good indicator. The carts began rolling by, and the food began flying onto our table. Proper Chinese names elude me, but I'll describe some of our favorites: roasted pork buns, chicken dumplings, delicate shrimp dumpings, shrimp puffs, a fat noodle dish with veggies, cigarette shaped fried shrimp rolls, sesame encrusted balls with red bean paste in the middle, sliced duck, egg custard tarts in flaky pastry, yellow custard filled doughy puffs, and more. Everything tasted like a superior, more flavorful, less Americanized (i.e., everything is not deep fried!) version of many Chinese dishes I've had before. As my mom noted, if you don't like something, it's just a matter of personal taste-- everything is high quality. The dim sum choices (over 50) are from $2.50-$7.50 according to the menu, and the cart rollers don't write prices, only slashes on your receipt; I guess part of the excitement is not knowing how much your bill will be. My dad paid but I estimate it was under $85 for the 4 of us, which is not too bad considering how much we ate and how many varieties of dim sum we sampled. I will be back, often! read more

I am preposterously infatuated with the Steamed Shrimp Dumplings. One word describes it and that's is Scrumptious. Scrumptious Steamed Shrimp Dumplings that's it, you must try them. Huge, plump shrimp bursting flavor into your mouth. (exhale) I ate them 5 minutes ago and had to run to the PC and rate my jubilant experience. The flavors are still pirouetting in my mouth. I haven't gotten to the Sesame Chicken with fried rice as yet (don't want to ruin this moment...) but it smells delightful and I am counting down the minutes to get a moment to myself away from this desk to see what awaits me. Scrumptious Steamed Shrimp Dumplings ... the absolute best that I have ever had. read more

Well, I've never been to Hong Kong...... BUT, I've been to Dim Sum parlors all over North America (NYC, Boston, Phiily, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Vancouver, etc) and I honestly rate this as among the very BEST! Better even than Lah Wah Heen in Toronto (which is 5 star, white glove pretentious). Yes, there are some language barriers. And true, it has a pretty standard menu. But the various dumplings are excellent and a great value. And, yes, Lex: With all due respect, I do think it's a bit unrealistic to go here when you have a soy/wheat allergy. Do people who are lactose-intolerant go to Baskin-Robbins? Do those who eat kosher/orthodox go to lobster shanties or restaurants specializing in pulled pork? But nothing personal - good luck with your nuptials. read more

Great dim sum. The staff push the dim sum around in carts just like chinatown. Dim sum selection tasty, hot and fresh all the time. I have been coming here for the last four years and they have been consistent with the food. It's always good. They have you in and out of there by your lunch hour. They have lunch specials you can choose from too. It comes with your choice of soup. They have a house daily soup that isn't on the menu. It's for the patrons who want real authentic chinese soup. Today I had the sezchuan spicy tofu with minced meat lunch special. Delicious. I love the hot preserved vegetable they add to it. Every chinese place makes this dish different. This place makes it the best. My friend had the old standard chicken with broccoli. She said is was really good. She also thought the hot and sour soup that came with her meal was excellent. This place is as close as you can get to chinatown in Westchester. The staff is terrific and very friendly. If you become a regular there, they will even hook you up with not charging you tax for your meal.......shhhh, don't tell anyone! read more

We were staying in the adjoining building, a Residence Inn by Marriott, and didn't feel like wandering far. I hesitate to enter any restaurant attached to the hotel, but decided to trust fellow Yelpers and give Aberdeen a try. What a treat! It was late afternoon, and there were only a few other diners. The waiter came over with his cart and let us know what he had ready. I have always had dim sum with Chinese friends and others in the know to do the ordering, so I never remember the name of any of the dishes. We were in luck, as the waiter was great at giving a brief explanation. We plowed through a multitude of steamed, savory dumplings: har gao, shumai, lo mai gai (sticky rice in bamboo leaves), taro cakes, and on and on and on. All this was supplemented by countless cups of hot tea. Everything was delicious, albeit a little pricey. I'd be back in a heartbeat, though, if I lived in the area. read more

Ahh, Cantonese family style restaurant attached to the Residence Inn Hotel??? I'm used to popular chains or steakhouse attached to my Hotel, but authentic Chinese has to be the first. My usual instinct is to steer away, but I had to try it. This is a typical authentic Chinese-family restaurant setting, colorful decoration and water tanks filled with live lobsters, dungeon crabs, and fish(es). My initial reaction was, I'm in the right place for a nice home cooked meal. The chef recommended the House Style Fish. It was a stir fried grouper filets dish, on a bed of long beans and fresh garlics. The fish was smothered with fermented black beans and pork, a true authentic delicacy. I'm hearing good things about their dim sum, so I'll have to try that out next time. read more

It's alright, not demonstrably different from any other take out place i normally frequent back home but pretty good. (All we did was take out so no real dim sum experience was had.) The seafood and meat all seemed to be of pretty high quality, with one big exception...the sand veins remained in the shrimp. I can stomach it, but the knowledge that I am essentially eating shrimp excrement kinda puts a damper on the dining experience. All in all I wouldn't avoid it, but I'd pretty much only do carry out. the dining area didn't strike me as particularly inviting. read more
