After hearing so many positive things about Aberdeen Seafood & Dim Sum, I was expecting a standout…read moremeal, but I left disappointed. The food wasn't bad--it was simply mediocre and underwhelming. The biggest issue was that several dishes were underseasoned and lacked the bold flavors I expect from a good Cantonese restaurant. The Yang Chow fried rice was especially bland and needed more seasoning. The har gow and several of the dim sum items also fell short of expectations. The steamed spare ribs and beef chow fun were okay but nothing memorable. The salt and pepper shrimp was probably the highlight of the meal, but it wasn't unique or better than what I've had at many other Chinese restaurants. Overall, the food was decent, but considering the restaurant's reputation, I expected much more. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't make a special trip back.

So... we traveled 1200 miles to have wonderful Chinese Food. The Aberdeen, located off the lobby…read moreof the White Plains Residence Inn, is known for its dim sum - which is excellent. However, the rest of the broad and deep menu is excellent as well. The rich Sweet Corn Chicken Soup is sweet, thick (but not gummy) and quite tasty. The pan fried dumplings were outstanding. They were perfectly cooked and well stuffed with minced pork and veggies. The Honey Walnut Shrimp were amazing - plump and perfectly dressed. Finally, the Sesame Chicken was amazing. Perfectly cooked but the best thing is that the chicken was moist, rich and flavorful. So, if we're ever back in White Plains, you know where we'll be dining.

Instead, I found a clean, efficient dim sum spot with surprisingly good food. The self-service concept worked really well. You order at the counter, pick up your own food, and there is no tipping. I actually like this system because at traditional dim sum restaurants you often spend more time waiting for carts or servers than eating. One thing that really impressed me was the cleanliness. The restaurant isn't newly renovated, but it's well maintained. After each table left, the staff cleaned with fresh sanitizing wipes instead of using the same cloth over and over. They also serve everything with disposable plates and utensils, which personally gives me more confidence than reusable tableware that isn't always cleaned thoroughly. The food was consistently good. The lotus leaf sticky rice was fragrant, the rice noodle roll with fried dough had a great texture, and the Teochew dumplings were generously filled. The standout dish was the stuffed trio. The shrimp paste was fresh and springy, the fried tofu was crispy, and getting eggplant, tofu, and green pepper on one plate made it easy to try a little of everything.

Waiters were quick to seat us and offer hot tea. We arrived at noon for dim sum on a Friday and they had the push carts circling the dining room. But it was very slow to arrive at our table that we had no choice but to order food off the menu even though we requested the dim sum cart after receiving the tea. Food was hot and tasted good. Kids wanted rice rolls which were not on the cart so we had to order from the kitchen which mean it came out after a bit more waiting. If you're looking to satisfy your dim sum craving this place is great. They also have large tables for big groups. And they take reservations.

I know sometimes at dim sum it's freeze dried shrimp, but these were the real deal. The pork dumpling have the lacy bottoms. Perfection! The crab rangoon was perfectly fried.

I believe there were six or seven present. It was interesting how they were prepared. There was a large fried part on the outside of the dumpling. I do not recall seeing that before, but I definitely enjoyed it. The dumpling layer was very light, and the pork filling was just the right amount. I really liked the combination of the fried part and soft dumpling layer. Will I go back? Yup.

Every part of it was authentic and delicious; like we used to get in flushing and Chinatown. It looked great also!! Now the not so good news. I actually felt uncomfortable eating there. Everyone seemed unfriendly, or cold at best. It was as if asking for another napkin or ice water annoyed them! I had to deduct 2 stars for that and I'll tell you why. We all know that restaurant prices shot up after Covid, and we understand, and willingly pay it.. The least you can do is make the diners feel welcomed. I won't lie; I would only go back because the Peking duck was SO good.. They might want to work on their people skills or not take the job if it is annoying to them.. Don't take your attitude out on us paying customers; sorry.

Went back a couple times and it's still a solid place for Cantonese food and dim sum…read more Some of the dim sum items are a bit too sweet compared to most other dim sum places, for example, the egg yolk bun filling could be a little more savory to add a extra dimension, and the "Snow White bun" topping could be less sweet. But overall, the quality is good. I noticed when leaving that they are changing ownership starting Feb 1, 2026. Hope the place would still maintain its high quality after the transition.

Both restaurants had similar "ok/fine" service that was not super patient or friendly. The food was overall good but most dishes could have used more toppings); for example, the mei fun, udon noodles and fried rice all had a rather unbalanced ratio of rice or noodles to vegetables/protein. The only one flipped the other way was the dish ordered off the specials menu. The ramen was not bad but I probably wouldn't order it again because it wasn't authentic; one plus was that it didn't make me feel super thirsty afterwards. They do have lunch specials but only on weekdays. The ambiance was cleaner and better than expected from looking at the outside - they made an effort with the decoration to make it feel Asian like, even if not super modern. Parking was easy and shared with other establishments.

Omanderine in Hartsdale turned out to be the perfect choice. We started with the classic soup dumplings--there's definitely an art to eating them without spilling the broth or burning your mouth, but that's part of the fun. They were delicious. We also had the vegetable dumplings, which were just as satisfying. For our main dishes, we ordered the beef short ribs, which were generously portioned and full of flavor, along with beef chow mein and vegetable and egg fried rice. My personal favorite was the chicken and broccoli in a rich sauce which really stood out. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, offered great recommendations, and even brought me a fork when it became clear my chopstick skills needed some work. The décor transports you and complements the dining experience beautifully. The décor makes you feel like you've been transported somewhere far more exotic than Westchester, which pairs perfectly with the food and the overall vibe. We came for a break from pasta. We left planning our return.

Ohhhhh where are my manners. Welcome to O Mandarin of the hamlet known as Hartsdale. You may…read moreacknowledge this hamlet as the direct creator of the first Carvel. Your lady may know the area for it's shopping centers. But let's reverse the story and talk about how those in the area know O Mandarin as the go-to Chinese location within town. On a sweaty yet chilly night on the mountain I wear out my days atop, I did feel the necessity for some grease lightning in my veins. Those who know, know that 2025 was the year of self-recognition for many; Finally realizing the Chinese man/woman that lives inside us all. But yes... that lava-like frozen night on the top of the peak of which I typically reside upon... I, a newly found Chinese man, began to ponder. In the forenoon, I performed an advanced tai chi sequence of which burned an excess of calories. I mixed in a bit of Yang, Chen and Wu. My internal energy crescendoed, and I stored up this potential energy for a later time. The time had come. I began to mull over options, utilizing that stored and compact energico. I - in traditional fashion, placed my milky and subtly manly yet intricate hands behind my back, lifted my shirt just enough to showcase half my belly button as well as the entirety of a happy trail which was cornered by the remnant peaks and valleys of tapered obliques. It was one of those winters. Dirty bulk. Needed to add muscle to a frame that some begged to question: "Is there really even more muscle in this word to add?" Others, such as my grandmother, would tell you differently. But what does she know. I shan't worry about the summer cut that I will (and have) inevitably side-stepped. I live in the moment. And in that moment, on that toasty yet frigid night along the coast of the pinnacle of which I'm placed, I knew I needed something to clog my already choking arteries. - My cookie numbers in the month of December bypassed a century mid-way through the calendar. I was handling temporary diabetes well. The acute symptoms of a piss per hour, shortness of breath, and new fat corroding my core didn't stray me away from the course. On this journey, I had many a greasy nights. It's perfect for winter. Cuddled up with my own fat, I lay back in a coated serenity... pale and pudgy... delighted but weary of the general joy I find within what should be a desolate sadness. The Joker may pair well with the Queen, but doesn't the Joker really need to be the Queen's Ace of Spades? Possibly a King? A balance difficult to strike. But if we don't strive for perfection, then how do we end up with more Linguini's? - Anyways... nearly flailing from heart attacks, I stared out the window across the trees into my neighbor's living room 1000 yards away. I seeked... sook... sought inspiration for my night's meal. I began to rage and show signs of a true outburst. The energy from my Tai Chi postures was spilling over. My eternal happiness was being intercepted by despair. Hey tubby - Why don't you eat what's in the fridge? Hey box boy, why don't you drop and give me 50? Hey loner, why don't you go do calisthenics at the park? Hey kid, why don't ya grow up? Good thing I was too distracted by my chiseled face in the glare of my neighbors window 1000 yards in the distance. You so handsome. You need soup. Of course. I should've known. The only inspiration I needed was from myself. Eureka, I refused to yell for I am no chum and surely not a bum. But Eureka I surely experienced. I lifted my chin in congratulatory fashion to myself, tilted my eyes into the sky. The first drop of flurry. It was time. Chinese time. When it's delivery time in Westchester, there are only a few places to even truly order from. The lack of good Chinese in this area is disparaging more than it's disappointing. If you are above or at the border of a certain town and up - There are no questions. O Mandarin provides the answers. Solid soup. Nice dumplings. Good Fried Rice. Decent noods. Good General Tsos. Some additional good and unique players. Quality protein. You don't feel gross from the ingredients, you just feel gross from the sheer quantity that you destroy. The way it should be. Nothing's really kicked my shins, nor has anything blown my socks off but they definitely do a solid job of keeping you coming back the next time. I've also picked up a few times to survey the entrance of where I'm placing my trust upon, lovely ambiance in their restaurant. I'll have to actually eat-in once. You can't make me, but I can make myself. If you're willing to eat in, then it must be solid. You can do much worse, but I don't really think you can do much better for takeout in most of Westchester. A worthy four stars. We are in the middle of the year of the fire horse. Don't tame him. Ride the fire this winter. Stock your stockings and stock your stomach. My weatherman says Chinese winter begins on November 1st - So you'll find me chomping down on some of the O Mdin' beginning then. Bai Bai, Baby - LB.
