    Sizzling Braised Tofu with Mix Musroom
    Becky K.

    Always trying a Chinese spot when I travel and this did not disappoint. I came for dinner so will have to come back and try their AYCE dim sum before I leave town. But tonight was chilly so I wanted something super cozy and warm. I was a bit disappointed by the soup options and I didn't see any stew/pot options. But I ended up getting the sizzling tofu with mixed mushrooms which was DELICIOUS. So many variations of mushrooms and the tofu was thin squares instead of the larger wedges or cubes. Gravy was savory.

    This place is delicious! Ordered the sizzling trio and tofu skin/shrimp DS. Very flavorful! Really great service too; comfortable cozy interior

    Super spot. Ayce be careful!!!! Dont over order (which I did). So worth it. The place was quaint with a modern look. The food all came out hot and fresh. Service was attentive. Flavors were on point for the steam dumplings and fried items. No comment on sweet items. (Did not order). The only item I disliked was the mushroom truffle dumplings. Wrap was too thick. The filling was just mush with truffle oil. My mistake was ordering the beef chow fun entree which is included in the ayce. It was a full size serving (not just for one). The flavor was great with plenty of beef in the serving. Epic food. Great flavors. I didn't hesitate to pay for the two uneaten items I over ordered. Too bad it's located on first ave. They should definitely open more locations.

    Shu Mai Dumplings

    Just starting off by saying that I have eaten at this place before numerous times, and would give it a 10/10 each time and really did not want to write this. I ordered takeout and order a large meal. After devouring the General Tso's chicken and steamed pork buns with my girlfriend, she uncovers this in her order of Shu Mai dumplings. A roach. We both almost vomited after opening this container. After speaking with the hostess and showing her this egregious discovery in my container, she apologized, spoke to her manager on the phone, looked completely blindsided by this, and I was offered a refund for my entire meal. She was incredibly nice and apologetic about the situation, and I have no issues with how she handled the situation. I initially did not want to embarrass this restaurant by writing a review like this because of how much I enjoyed this food numerous times and how nice the staff were, as this place had just recently opened. But think about it, look at how conveniently placed that roach is in the photo. Do they just leave all their dumplings lying around somewhere unsanitary only to heat it up and serve it to customers? This appeared to be a roach who just crawled onto the dumplings and died, and then the kitchen staff just heated them up and served it to me. I was thinking that evening, were there roaches crawling around my General Tso's chicken or ingredients in all the rest of the meals that were and are to be served to many customers who came to eat here? Was I or my girlfriend going to be sent to the hospital over eating half of a big meal from a kitchen with roaches crawling around? I cannot in good conscience move on and not warn people about this. Let this be a warning to people who are looking for Dim Sum restaurants in the UES, roaches crawling around where your food is being prepped and served can send you to the hospital or even worse. Tremendously disgusting! This shows extreme negligence by the restaurant and a tremendous disregard for even the most basic forms of hygiene! I hope this serves as a warning to those who come eat here, along with a lesson to the owners who run this restaurant on their employee hygiene. All the great experiences I had eating their delicious food and being served by friendly staff are now stained by this discovery, with me looking back, wondering if there were roaches crawling around the kitchen when my food was being prepared during those previous times that I had eaten at Cha Dim Sum. I am incredibly disappointed.

    I'd say the food earns them 4 stars on its own, and you can find more of a variety at the dim sum…read morehalls of Flushing, Chinatown, and Bensonhurst, but the food here is still quite food for midtown and worth a visit for. Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

    This place is so cool! I wasn't expecting to find this awesome Chinese restaurant in the middle of…read moreKtown in NYC. I was browsing for places with scallion pancakes and I came across this restaurant. I saw they had a scallion pancake beef rook which I'd never seen before. It was fried and crispy on the inside with tender beef on the inside, that was slightly savory slightly sweet. I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place. The outside is unassuming and nothing special but inside has the aesthetic of an old Shanghai restaurant. It's ornate and slightly quirky. It's also really big, bigger than I expected. Even the bathrooms had traditional Chinese flare with the sliding doors. Definitely worth checking out,

It's also nicely decorated, which makes you feel like you're in China. It's definitely for a younger crowd with how loud this place gets. We had a huge party, so we ordered an array of dishes to share family style. Some of the most memorable dishes were the Mapo Tofu ($13.99), Hutaoli Roast Chicken ($43 for whole), Spicy Pot Potato ($19), Roasted Green Beans ($22), etc. All of the food is good, but definitely pricey. While the food also came out quickly, our drinks came out towards the end of our meal. It's a good spot for big parties as it never got too busy even on a Saturday night. They also have private rooms. The live music was fun, but also made it hard to have conversation.
