Came by for breakfast the other day and it was a fantastic experience. Awesum Dimsum was open a few minutes before their scheduled opening time of 8 am during a week day. Ordered via the kiosk and my order was ready within 5-10 minutes. The pan fried chive dumplings were tasty as they were pan fried to perfection and skillfully put together. Flavor was excellent. There are plenty of seats available for dining on premise as well! read more

Appreciate the canto authenticity to this place. The items we ordered tasted fresh and a good rep for traditional dim sum with the rolling carts. The only thing is the ha gow wasn't the best when we came for dinner time since the skin was too soft/loose but that's the case for ha gow at night at most places I feel. Would come back again if in the area! read more

Awesum Dimsum - S1. Har Gow (4), F8. Fried Shrimp Roll Wrapped with Bacon, S6. Lava Bun (3), B4. BBQ Pork Puff - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of dimsum here.Highly recommend the beef steamed rice rolls- the skin was perfectly thin and smooth! Just like how they make it at top notch dimsum restaurants! We also enjoyed the shrimp dumplings, pan fried dumplings, and steamed bbq pork buns. Their soup dumplings were just so-so. A bit too doughy for me, but it did have a good amount of soup in each one. The egg tarts were not bad, but I've had better at Chinese bakeries in Chinatown. I also love the small claw machine to get a fortune cookie! Works with pennies (provided by cashier). Food was brought out pretty quickly. Overall a good spot for a quick, filling lunch! read more

Lo and behold, my cravings for dim sum kicked in again! And instead of trekking all the way to Gramercy we decided to go to the Times Square location to check out the ambiance. It was exactly the same, no difference. Same decor, still self serve, where you order at a computer then pickup the food in trays. This time, we ordered more than what I can actually eat. And on top of it there were a number of dumplings that was a buy 1, get 1 free. So of course I had to take advantage of that discount! I got the shumai. We also ordered xiao long bao, chicken feet, shrimp rolls, roast pork buns, fried eggplant, chives and shrimp steamed dumplings. Hubby loved the chives and shrimp dumplings. My fav was the chicken feet. Could've skipped the xiao long bao, this is definitely not the place for this! Overall still loved the quality of the dim sum options. Will absolutely return! read more

If you are looking for a really solid dim sum place in Times Square area, I'd recommend this place!! I was happily surprised with the fair pricing and portions of everything. The shumai was BOGO free this day and they were so yummy and juicy! We got all of the other classics and everything tasted great. I highly recommend their baked pork buns, I loveee the bread it comes in. I would definitely come back to have more of their dishes! You order at a kiosk and food comes out pretty fast. The ambiance is fast casual so if you're looking for somewhere quick and tasty this is the place! read more

The food is slightly below average here and all pretty bland. You self order from a computer screen and then it takes quite a while before the food comes out.

This is my third time coming here and probably it will be my last time. They have less variety of dishes compared my first dining at this place. Second time, many dishes were off the menu due to the kitchen need more time to prepared. Now, less variety of dim sum. I rather go to Dim Sum Sam which was around the corner unless you want to eat dim sum only. read more

Self service dim sum place near Port Authority, NY We stumbled at this place on the way to the Lincoln Center. The interior was very modern and bright. You will order the food thru the kiosk and pay with cashier. We ordered awesome dim sum combo for $18+tax. The buzzer went on after 10 minutes and went to pick up the food. The combo came with 2 har gow, 2 siu Mai, 1 sticky rice wrap, bbq pork bun and crispy shrimp. All tasted good and it was nice to taste mushroom, chicken and sausage in the sticky rice. I would like to come back to try other dim sum and combo meals! read more

The worst dimsum I have ever had. Thought we would give it a try given the strong overall rating on yelp but preety shocked to see the actual quality.

Awesum Dimsum was a good, fast dimsum experience, great for a quick, filling lunch. The pan fried bun was a very good combination of a sweet, soft outside and meaty, flavorful filling. The spring rolls were very good too. The steamed siu mai were a little dry. Overall very good experience. read more

I decided to give this place a try today and got delivery. I usually try to avoid Asian restaurants that are close to Times Square since I'm afraid of inauthenticity. I was perusing their menu and saw some OG dim sum items that I don't really see around these parts. The one that stood out the most was the fried taro shrimp patty. Not only is it old school, most dim sum places don't even make them anymore. It's one of my all time faves, so I was sold. I ordered: Chicken Ball Congee - 4/5 good flavor and consistency, albeit it could be slightly thicker. The chicken balls were flavorful and succulent Fried Taro Shrimp Patty - 3.5/5 a bit bland, needs more seasoning. Well made otherwise Roast Pork & Cilantro Rice Roll - 2/5 really underwhelming. Completely lacks flavor even with the sauce and hardly any cilantro inside. Noodle texture was too soft Kid's Meal - 3/5 great way to taste more items without ordering them individually. Comes with a spring roll, roast pork puff, egg tart, and bun. I only enjoyed the egg tart and roast pork puff from this. The other two items were meh Overall, decent. Definitely room for improvement. Also, they should def be stapling the bag for delivery. read more

Okay, I'm giving it three stars because the food is just really underwhelming. I got their house dumplings and their bbq pork bun. The dumplings are served with a soggy and extremely thin wrapper, and the buns, though the topping was good, tasted very stale. The bread was just really hard. That being said, the interior of Awesum Dimsum is really bright, it's a great place to catch up with friends, and the food comes out fast. You order on a screen and probably less than 10 mins later, you'll have your food. So even though you don't have the classic dimsum carts, you at least have the speed, and to know that a place like this exists near Port Authority is a GAME changer. Like, if you ever need a quick bite, you know it's here. So I appreciate it for what it is-- just don't expect the greatest dimsum in the world and it'll all be good. read more

Fast service, clean ambiance, counter ordering. This is a solid neighborhood dim sum chain where I can get my fix without having to go very far. Yes at first these new slew of dim sum chains made me do a double take though was not surprising. I do miss classic banquet trolley style dim sum, but at least there's awesum dim sum and dim sum Sam right by each other if I want to stop in for breakfast. I respect the 8am opening time and they are ready to go! Love the delicate fried shrimp rolls, they have a healthy selection of rice noodle rolls and their har gaw dumpling skin is especially thin without falling apart. Their congees are great and super savory, I do not miss the white pepper which usually is a must for me to the point I bring my own. Their condiment selection is... fine. Not really but there are enough basics to get through. (I'm a glutton for condiments). One fall back is they do not have any noodle soups but their fried dim sum selection (I prefer steamed normally) is actually pretty delicious and they have a wide variety. This is a frequent weekend breakfast spot for me, and based on location and consistency of the food it's a thumbs up for me. read more

I definitely expected more because it had good reviews, but I found the soup dumplings to be good but not great. I didn't like they were served in foil trays- never had seen that before and they broke trying to get them out. The service was great , but pretty much you order yourself on a screen. The restaurant has a trendy and cool vibe with plenty of seating. read more

Delicious place. Highly recommend it. Four of us paid about $100 and walked out full. Great people working there! Ambiance is chill.

This place is great! AweSum DimSum is a small, fast dim sum spot right near Port Authority. Not only are the food and selection pretty good but the format is convenient for a quick meal either by yourself or with a few friends.

Pro tip: as of July 2023, if you check in on Yelp then you get a free hibiscus tea! I got a lot of teasing for picking this "non-genuine" dim sum place, but we all ended up liking the food a lot! And I liked how clean it was and how simple it was to order. The decor is nice and modern, and there were a lot of open tables available on a Sunday around 11am. We ordered at a Toast tablet, and for three of us, we ordered about five dishes which left us all comfortably full. Then, we paid at the counter and received a beeper. The food was ready in less than ten minutes, and I appreciated that there were a lot of extra cups and disposable containers in case we needed stuff for splitting. I really liked almost all the dishes (the noodles were okay). The egg tarts, spare ribs, and turnip cake were my favorites. The shrimp rice roll was also tasty. I just wish the turnip cake came with the standard sauce it typically comes with! I would absolutely go back!!! read more

Awesum Dimsum - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

I'm Not sure where the awesome part was. It was McDonalds-used dim sum. The ONLY reason they get three stars is because people seem to come; and that people who also happen to be Asian seem to like it suggests that there's something to it. I just don't see what. Dim Sum is one of our favorite foods and a regular part of our eating out. This seemed like mediocre offerings aimed at capitalizing on location and the need for speed in dim sum take out fare. Prices are on the level of nearby and seasoned dim sum places that are truly awesome. Soup dumplings were soupless and stuck to the bottom of the tin things they were served in. The rice wrap whatever was vile. Most of what we ordered just wasn't edible. This was more Okay Dim Sum. That's a better more appropriate name for it. read more

They should rename this to nauseam dimsum. Going against popular opinion and telling the truth; this place and all their lil dimsum tidbits are too expensive. Yup, for this price they should be giving a little more and it should taste awesome every time. Guesssssss what, it doesn't taste awesome every time, some things are good but almost none of what I ordered would I race back to order again. In fact I would feverishly avoid half of what I tried. I enjoyed the fried eggplant shrimp ball and the red bean puff but I just can't see me ordering it, paying all that money, and then still needing to order a pizza because I'm starving. read more

Ever since they opened their second location near the theatre district, this has become the best-kept secret to eat before a show. Everything about this place is easy, delicious, clean, kind, quick, quiet, perfection. As always, obsessed with their pork buns, baked pork buns, and custard baked buns. They give you to-to containers and bags on the counter to pick up whenever you're done, free water in paper cups, and easy ordering at a kiosk. It's so civilized, it makes you feel like you're in Japan. And in fact, 90 percent of the customers are Asian so you know this is the goods!! Go go eat enjoy be happy. 5 stars!!' read more

Wonderful little gem amidst the loud city. Came in for a mid day snack. We ordered through a tablet and then paid at the front counter. Minimal service required as we were expected to pick up the food and then put away the tray / trash from the table. The food was really good and one of the best sesame balls I've had. The noodles were okay, nothing special. Definitely give this place a try if you're around! Great for a quick bite and break. read more

A small dimsum spot off of broadway. I was enticed by their novel dimsum options and they didn't disappoint. You order at the kiosk and pay with the cashier inside. We got the Mala Shumais, Taro Dumplings, Awesum Dimsum Rice Rolls, and the Chive Dumplings. These were all pretty new to us. Everything was made fresh. They came out warm and the wrappers on them were some of the softest and freshest that I've had! Flavors were also great, well-balanced. Each dumpling was well-filled. I particular like the Taro Dumplings and the Rice Rolls but the other ones were also great. A great option for a quick fulfilling meal. Plenty of small tables for groups as well. read more

From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but it was very cozy once you get in there. And the food was delicious and pretty authentic! I got the breakfast special congee combo even though it was dinner time, and it was the perfect amount of food. I also got egg tarts for dessert, and I checked in on Yelp and got a free hibiscus tea! The plain congee was so delicious, and it was so flavorful despite not having any toppings in it. They make it with dried scallops, so it has a great and subtle umami flavor. The bun that came with the combo was just okay, so if I go back, I'd just get the congee instead of the whole combo. The egg tarts were not too sweet, but they were on the greasier side. Overall, only the congee was an absolute must, and I wish I had the opportunity to try more of the dimsum. read more

This has got to be one of the most uniquely AWESOME dim sum joints I have ever been to. Not only is the concept ingenious but the dim sum is actually pretty decent considering it's fast food AND the restaurant is neat and tidy. Their no fuss nor frills, on-the-go dim sum is perfect when you're craving all the flavors of Chinese breakfast without the hassle of sitting down at a crowded restaurant and waiting for the right cart to swing by with your favorite dishes. Prices are fair, all things considered. Can't go wrong with the baked char xiu bun, xiu mai, har gaw, steamed pork ribs, and crispy shrimp rolls. read more

Finally checked this off my list for Lunar New Year last Sunday. Can't believe there's really delicious and authentic dimsum by the Times Square/Port Authority area. It's a pretty compact 2-floor space literally across Jollibee which is our favorite too. Was quite disciplined and chose to stick to dimsum that day. Ordered a lot of different things for a dimsum feast plus also wanted to try a couple of things. The pork dimsum was so good and larger than dimsum in other places. Really delicious. We also ordered the barbecue pork bun, was just okay. The egg noodles were so dry, I don't recommend. They had pork spare ribs over rice which came with 4 pcs of chicken siu mai (we appreciated this more when we reheated the following day) and we also ordered the beef spare ribs which came with 2 spring rolls. The spring rolls were good, the rice and beef ribs tasted better the next day. I appreciated the Hibiscus Tea upon Yelp check-in, pretty nice touch. And they also have black tea with the rice meals, for those who like proper black tea. Overall, we paid $80 plus 25% tip. Julie was the one who assisted us upon ordering and also cleaned and sanitized our table. Thanks Julie! Would happily come back but might lean on doing take out just because they only have packets of soysauce and sriracha. The only reason keeping me from giving them 5 star isn't just the price being a bit higher, it's the lack of proper soy sauce bottles, lemon or ginger and the most important element for us asians, garlic chili oil! This for me, completes the overall experience. :) And also needs proper silverware and not plastic for those who do not prefer to use chopsticks. Hope this is something they'd consider in the near future as I'm sure these recommendations will draw and retain more customers. read more

I don't think I'd be back here. But it was a cool experience my son and I saw this place on a random fb video and decided to try it out . The menu is nice but 3 of the things really lacked flavor and I think that's always the case but more so here . The beef rice roll, the cabbage pork buns , and scallops sticky rice lacked flavors. But sriracha and soy sauce to the rescue !! The prices were decent. They should look around the dining room more because the tables were all dirty and we had to ask for a wipe down. Over all we were happy and pleasantly surprised by the chocolate bun that was the highlight of the meal and I'm not a dessert person over all. read more

I'm not sure how awesome these dim sum are compared to the authentic dim sum places. The quality of some of these dishes are alright but I think they can do better. The tables would need to be a bit bigger in order to fit all the plates ordered. What stood out the best to me was the siu mai which have big junks of pork meat in each bite, the spare ribs are actual pieces of meat rather than fat pieces, the crispy eggplants were okay, the rice noodles (churn fun) were somewhat thin and had good pieces of shrimp and the shrimp ball (har gao) was big pieces of shrimp as well and not much fillers. The congee def needs some more work as it was bland and no taste, the char siu bao was more bread than meat, the turnip cake (lor bok goh) was tasting a bit off and it was not crispy at all, read more

Stopped by on a tour of Chinatown. The service was quick. The shop looks like your favorite corner Chinese restaurant. I ordered the best pineapple steamed pork bun I have ever had! The outer coat of the on had a sweet flaky pineapple crust, once you bit into the bun you taste a sweet soft moist bun, and then you taste the tender pork. Wow! It's sweet and savory. Filling and authentic! This was my all-time favorite dish. I wished I could find it in any store. read more

Their lotus leaf sticky rice is also so good - you can tell that it's not frozen and that they clearly make it. Highly recommend this place!

Super sleek dim sum place with good food. Solid option for quick lunch in a busy part of nyc close to lots of transit hubs and tourist spots. Ambiance is modern and staff are super on top of keeping the space clean. Otherwise had fairly limited interaction with them since you order on a screen. This was actually kinda nice cause it gives you time to mull over the many options, a surprising amount of which are vegetarian. I had sesame balls and taro dumplings. I always love sesame balls and these were no different. I didn't expect to love the taro dumplings as much as I did but they were super good. 10/10 veg option. It's more like a 4.5 for me. The main reason for 4/5 is the feel inside. A tad sterile and unwelcoming. I also felt the prices were a little high for food quantity. I guess that's probably what you get in this part of town though, so still a good option given the neighborhood. read more
