This place is a no brainer. Great food, great prices, great staff. Very casual and busy -- think cramped place in Chinatown, not fine dining -- with a lunch special that brings back memories of the easy '90s when food was affordable! read more

Chinese restaurant in the heart of Chelsea! Super great food and pretty good service! They had an issue with their internet so I had to pay with cash. I failed to read my receipt wrong and forgot to add enough for tip and was reminded to by the manager which I thought was a bit odd. I don't mind providing tip, which It would have been easy to if their systems were working, but I don't like when a restaurant begs for it when you could pay your workers a fair wage. I would come back, but please don't beg for tip especially when it's difficult to do so. read more

This place rocked. Super flavorful. My only complaint is I feel I had to bug service for every little thing. For napkins, for chili sauce, soy sauce. Etc. itd just be easier to have it all on the table. Place is very clean. Lovely decorations, subtle, but it added. My favorite was the pancake with green scallion. That mixed with the vinegar and chili was amazing. The chicken and string beans was so plentiful and tasty. It all tasted so good for $60 after tip. read more

We stopped by Dim Sum Chelsea on a cold and wet day to get a snack and take a break after a lot of walking around. The restaurant was fairly slow and service was very attentive and friendly. We just wanted a nibble so we only tried the Lotus Rice and the Crab and Spinach dumplings paired with a shared bottle of hot sake. The food was hot and flavorful, the crab and spinach dumplings were juicy but my favorite was the lotus rice that was stuffed with a seasoned meat mixture. I only recently discovered this dish and now its a favorite! I would love to come back to try more dumplings if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Hard pass. This was barely Chinese food to me. I got 口水雞 - translation mouth watering chicken, which is supposed to be a very delicious cold chicken with spicy oil dish and this was not that. It was like dry salad shredded chicken with peanut butter sauce. Blech. Even the Chinese speaking waiter seemed surprised that I ordered it. Plus, it's expensive for what it is. The ambiance is a little dark in my opinion and it's Chelsea pricing but like, a quarter of the value. Skip. read more

Why does this place have a four star rating? Went for lunch special. Soup was not hot and the hunan beef dish was not good. Not at all. Such slop. read more

The food was so delicious! We ordered the scallion and garlic cucumbers, soup dumplings, fried veggie dumplings and Mongolian beef! The service/waiter was great. He was super attentive but not excessively, which was great. The restaurant was super clean and we asked to be seated where it was more quiet, the waiter took us to the back room, which was perfect! Definitely coming back! read more

Quick service but even better food. Cold winters night and all I could think of were some soup dumplings. Yum yum dim sum! Super flavorful and just the perfect bite size. Everything we order was delicious! Great lychee martini and very friendly staff and overall ambiance. I'd post a pic but we are through every single bite tonight read more

Came here because of the 4.5 rating (there was others closer but the others only had a 4 star rating.) When I entered the restaurant I was promptly seated + my order was taken swiftly expedited. The restaurant floor is so clean I swear you could eat off of it ! Where I was seated I could watch the 49er game while hearing a soft background music in the background. Everything came to me hot & fresh. The taste & flavor of the food I ordered was outstanding. This place is a definite repeat whenever I come back to New York. read more

I haven't tried it yet. I just passed and thought I would check the reviews before I ate there, but the reviews are good and so I tend to give it a try. So I went back and had a great meal. Very authentic. Excellent service, great food. read more

I think this is probably how good Chinese food is supposed to taste! Don't hate us for not knowing any better. Fresh ingredients, you can taste the spices and the flavors. The sauces are delicious and complement the dish. The venue looks like a repurposed coffee shop with booths and counter seats. Had it not been for Yelp reviews I would have walked by. I would have missed out. When in the neighborhood I will come again and look forward to tasting more dishes. I had the pork soup dumplings, a special prawn and tofu with vegetables dish (on the Chef specials) and the dry string beans. Everything was terrific. Even the ginger soy sauce condiment for the table. Rice didn't come with the dishes which surprised me a little but other than to sop up the sauces I didnt care. But if you want rice be sure to ask for it. read more

Eat here,no not there. Wait what do we have here? Dim Sum!! Menu please! Holy noodles- it's gonna take me a while to get through the many options. And hold on a sec-a bar?!? Not mentioned on their website. Let's begin with the scallion pancakes. Spare the oil and spare your health!! The pancakes were a bit oversaturated in oil. Did the price of scallions skyrocket? Had a hard time finding them. The spring roll also might have been at the same, "oil party" as the pancakes. Let's leave the, "oil party" and move on to the main course!! I ordered chicken with onions and scallions. Oink, pink said the pig. Almost consumed the entire dish! Summer's coming, better not! My partner ordered a curry noodle meal. Not a morsel was left! The service was appreciated. All requests granted without a side eye! Ambiance was mellow as a cello-no loud music (you mean we can actually talk about what you had for dinner last night)?!? Booths are arranged so it's not necessary to ask the other patron their name!! read more

Food was great, prices were very reasonable, and service was wonderful. I have a few allergies and they were very patient, kind, and reassuring to all of my questions. They don't have any GF dumplings, but they do have a few great, and confirmed safe, GF options!! read more

Nice option when visiting the Joyce. Good selection. Well prepared. We'll return. Friendly service.

This is my LAST TIME HERE. Worked in restaurant business for years and this is the worst service you can get. I've been also done in Chelsea pre covid so many times. How did the service got sooo bad in the past years? Walked in at 9:30pm. The restaurant had 4 full tables, still dining and a table in the back of 6 people that were about to order when our group walked in. Manager told us we have to order right the way if we like to dine in because the kitchen will close soon. That's fair considering the place close at 10pm and we don't want to hold the Chefs. We orders right the way. Some Order of side rice come wrong. Brown instead of white. (Mind that they left the extra $$$ price for the brown and never corrected it on the checks). Some plates were very tasty. Other like the dry spicy chicken was horrible. They just made the plate half full with spicy chilly instead of chickens. It was so crunchy and spicy you couldn't eat it, unless you separate one by one the items. We didn't complain considering that it was late. My general Tso wasn't spicy, and way too watery!!! How do you messed up a general tso??? Asked for sesame seeds for the broccoli, they gave me none. The worst was at 9:40 they stopped the music: 3 full table still in the middle of the main corse. And 2 other seated and still left inside/ I thought it was the radio been skipping song. After 10 min I asked why the music is off. "Oh cuz it's late". "There's 4 table still eating and we can hear everyone else table conversation."- Finally manager turned the music on 9:50pm Table of 6 behind us still fully eating. Ours half had done. They dropped the check in, without asking, cleared half of the table mind that the servers had their arms and elbows basically in my food while I was still eating. At 10:05!!!! Like WTF of service is this. Mind my 3 friends had to leave. Me and my other fiends stayed to finish the food, like 5 other minute and still drinking the green tea. I stopped finishing the food and left after to try to rush us out while grabbing the green tea I was still drinking. read more

Dim Sum Chelsea - Check given at 10:06 PM while still dining in. Not even 5 min after restaurant closing time - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Very good spot for lunch. Nice feel and the dishes were pretty good. We tried the pepper steak, sesame chicken, and the crystal dumplings. Nice ambiance for lunch or dinner. Note to restaurant: it made nervous and rushed as the servers were waiting to take my order. No need to "hover" over. Just a suggestion. I'll be back though! read more

Really good quality dim sum at this spacious restaurant steps away from the C train. Service is efficient and helpful. I was here on a Wednesday evening at 7:30p and the place was almost empty. We ordered a feast: Pork soup dumplings Shanghai pan fried pork buns Pork dumplings in spicy sauce Pan fried pork dumplings Steamed roast duck dumplings Chives shrimp dumplings Steamed egg custard buns Crispy shrimp roll Wonton in spicy sauce Crabmeat & shrimp spinach dumplings Siu Mai with shrimp Dan Dan noodles The highlights were undoubtedly both the pork dumplings and the wonton in spicy sauce, the steamed roast duck dumplings (which you usually don't find on other menus), the chives shrimp dumplings and the dan dan noodles. Get the steamed egg custard buns only if you're into egg custard... they're sweet and gooey. Overall, we had a great time. Dim sum plates are not cheap, though, as they range between $8 and $12. Considering that you get between 3 and 5 items per dish, you need to order a good amount to be satisfied, and prices add up fast. We didn't get any drink or dessert (or entrees) and still paid over $50 per person (not including tip). The zip code adds $15-20 per person to the check (as compared to going to Chinatown). read more

Always enjoyable to stop in and try new items from this large menu. Gold and silver buns are bao, fried vs. steamed. Pancake with scallion is distinct from scallion pancake, both options available. read more

Reliably good Chinese food! This location sometimes has a wait for dinner, even if just for a party of two, but lately it's been easier to get in. Most recently, we got the dan dan noodles, snow pea shoots, and jumbo shrimp in black bean sauce, all of which were good. We also got a tofu dish - I am forgetting the name but see photos - we didn't love it. Definitely a good Chinese spot to check out if you happen to be in the area! read more

Came here on a quick work trip and we were all hankering for some dim sum. We were sat relatively quickly for a party of 4. The place was packed The dishes we ordered were really tasty. You ordered off the menu and they brought the dishes out. Some of the photos weren't great, we ordered a few dumplings that weren't what we were expecting based on the photo. Overall, a really good experience and we will be back. read more

Love dumplings and Dim Sum. So gave this place a try. Went on a Monday night. Still had quite a few customers. So that was a sign. Service was good. Place is nice. Had a soup dumpling. Dim sum. And a pan fried dumpling. Also a chicken dish. Everything was good enough. Would have gone with a 4 star. But ended up with a stomach ache late a night. So they lost a star for that. Too bad. I did like the food read more

Dim Sum Chelsea - Dumplings. And Hunan chicken - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

I was in the mood for dumplings while visiting NYC so we found this gem via Yelp and decided to make the trek on foot. We are so glad we found it - I think my partner was even more so. We ordered pork soup dumplings, roasted pork bun and the tofu dish with veggies -everything was delicious. I mean my partner is such a picky eater but she pretty much devoured the entire tofu dish and sampled the non veggie items we ordered. This place was nice and clean onside - even their restroom was clean. That's probably TMI for some folks. But it's quite disappointing when you go to a fancy restaurant or any restaurant and find their restrooms in less than ideal state. Makes you question. How clean the rest of the place is. I am happy to say that this place did not disappoint at all on all counts. Food was delicious - such a wonderful find! Their staff was very attentive and fast! Check them out! read more

Decor was nice and pleasant too. Will definitely come back and try out more things from their menu! read more

We were lucky this place was just two long and two short blocks from our Airbnb! We got take out twice and enjoyed it both times! Soup dumplings! Wontons in chili oil! Pea shoots with garlic! Extra chili oil for our food needs! All were delicious! Sam provided friendly, professional and accurate service for my take out orders! Life is good with fresh chili oil! read more

I ordered the pork soup dumplings, Shanghainese pan fried buns, and shrimp suimai for takeout on a week night . Everything tastes good, not extraordinary, but the whole order came out to be $31 which was a bit overpriced. I also specifically asked for utensils when I received the order but there were none in the bag. I ended up having to eat everything with my hands . Overall the experience was just okay and I would probably not come back again. read more

This is some of the best Dim Sum in Manhattan. Friends introduced me to this place, and I will go out of my way to visit or make it part of my time in Chelsea if I'm near the area. Staff is great, food is incredible. In my opinion, it's best to go with a group and order a lot so that you can try a lot for a very affordable price. They have beer, wine, and sodas available for drinks. 5-star all around! You cannot go wrong with Dim Sum Chelsea!! read more

Amazing food. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. Great dumplings. I will be going back

We walked into the restaurant Tuesday evening for a dim sum after walking back from the Highline park. We liked the soup dumpling which was juicy and crystal shrimp dumpling which had minced and diced jumbo shrimp . We didn't like the fried dumpling too much which the dough was too bready. We also enjoyed spiciness of braised noodle soup. read more

Meh. Should have been better. I wanted dim sum but didn't want to travel. Should have gone to Chinatown.

Wonderful food served freshly made and delicious! The chive shrimp dumplings satisfy without being heavy. Sesame chicken came lightly fried, served with rice. Service was attentive and gracious. I loved the cleanliness of the dining room, front entry as well as bathrooms. We definitely want to return to try new dishes! read more

Great food, great service, extensive menu and very clean, as others have noted. They accommodated me with by adding bok choy to a beef dish that had a tangy flavor. It was really fantastic . Thinking of going back to have again during my long weekend visit to NYC. So happy to have found this gem without having to navigate through Chinatown. read more

Price is good. Food are above average. Services are great. I ordered lunch special and it is good.
