I spend a lot of time in this area and am often looking for good places for lunch. A friend suggested Dim Sum Palace and we had 5 or 6 dim sum dishes and the food, reminiscent of Hongkong many years ago, was absolutely delicious. Dim sum is a great way to eat just the amount of food you want, not overstuffing yourself at lunch so that you feel heavy and sleepy all afternoon.... and for me, having roast duck was a real plus, I love duck. The service was attentive and the prices good. I am absolutely going to go back soon. read more

I've been to several Dim Sum Palace locations throughout the city, and unfortunately this one has been the most disappointing. I've visited a few times hoping for a better experience, but the food has been inconsistent. Several dishes have arrived either undercooked or overcooked. The service is fast and efficient, but if you're looking for the best food quality, I'd recommend visiting the W 56th Street location instead. read more

Would definitely return to try more. Salt and pepper shrimp dumplings were fantastic albeit a bit too salty, great flavor. Noodles were also standard and good. The mixed mushroom dumplings, as a huge fan of mushrooms, tasted off--perhaps an unfamiliar variety or something but really distinct flavor that wasn't for me. Service was great. The restroom was in terribly poor condition. read more

Came here because it was close and rated well both on Google and Yelp. It didn't disappoint. Everything came out hot and delicious. We came as a party of 4 and they did have gratuity included. I had the Braised E-Fu Noodle W. Black Mushroom. It's a very large plate which I didn't take a photo of. read more

Dim Sum Palace is my favorite dim sum place in NYC! I haven't been to Dim Sum Palace for a few years and have been craving dim sum recently so was excited to come back. One thing about them is that they don't serve food from carts, but instead they're made to order. It can take a while, but that also means their food comes out hot! I had their spare ribs, char siu bao, shrimp dumpling, shu mai, and their turnip cake. I really liked them all! read more

The dim sum here is alright. When you walk in, you're seated at a table and given a sheet of paper to fill out your order (instead of having carts be pushed around). Service here is attentive and pretty quick. My friend and I ordered a couple of their dumplings and dim sum items (as opposed to entrees) and thought it was alright. Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't bad either! read more

My husband and I love Korean food and we absolutely love Dim Sum! While reviewing different restaurants on Google, we decided to give dim sum palace a try. We are absolutely happy we did. We ordered two of the lunch specials as well as pork buns, soup dumplings, and shrimp dumplings! All of the items that we ordered were absolutely good. Service was outstanding. Both the waiters were attentive and pay attention attention to our needs. I greatly appreciate that. The restaurant is tidy small and cozy. I would definitely come back. read more

Came here for a quick lunch on a Tuesday and had a pretty solid experience. We ordered a vegetable tofu soup, beef chow fun, and an eggplant clay pot. The tofu soup was light and comforting, perfect for a simple lunch. The beef chow fun had good wok flavor and nice texture. The eggplant clay pot was flavorful and went really well with rice. Service was smooth and efficient, which made it an easy spot for a weekday lunch. Overall, a good casual option -- nothing too fancy, but reliable and satisfying. Would come back again. read more

We went out for a late bite, but when the bill came, the manager was surprisingly rude and pushed for a bigger tip. The tipping culture feels out of control--I definitely wouldn't go back. Food was alright and not as good- not highly recommended read more

Like the salt & pepper shrimp, shell on, mapo tofu, string beans, ate here with Lisa N.

Love this place! Nice dimsum and friendly staff! We live in Jersey but still love to visit

A casual spot that offers both dimsum and traditional chinese food dishes. Ordered beef and broccoli and shrimp hargow which were both tasty but costly in price. My beef and broccoli which wasn't a family size portion was around $20 and the dumplings around $6-8. The beef dish did not even come with rice which is optional for an additional cost. Service was very friendly and attentive - I asked for multiple sauces and my water cup was constantly full. Overall felt like this spot was expensive for being in such a casual setting. If you bring cash you are eligible for a discount! read more

Dim Sum Palace - Beef and 2. Beef with Broccoli and hargow - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered the half Peking duck and got almost no meat and just skin with pancakes. When I asked for the meat, they said they will cut it up and bring it out later but all I got in the end was just bones without meat on it. Not sure where the duck meat went but I certainly did not get any. I will never go back there ever again. read more

We came here after a couples massage since it was close by on a Friday at around 8 pm without reservations. The place was packed. The seating is almost along a long hallway. We waited about 10 minutes to sit down, so not too long for a Friday without reservations. We got an old fashioned and a mango mojito as cocktails. My husband enjoyed his old fashioned, my mojito had very little mango in it and no hint of alcohol. The food came out rather quickly. We got bbq pork buns to start. They weren't what we were expecting, they had a piece of paper underneath each which was so stuck to them that my husband didn't notice and had paper in his when he bite into it. It was sticky and the texture was off, the inside was sweet. Neither one of us enjoyed it. The general tso's chicken was probably the best thing we ate. One of the first times I had it where the chicken looked like actually chicken breast and it wasn't breaded beyond recognition. The shrimp house fried rice was ok, it wasn't a favorite. It has small shrimp, but they were not deveined which always grossed me out, a few scallops. Overall I would come back again and try other dishes read more

Lunch with friends during the week...come early to beat the lunch crowd otherwise it will be a wait for a table. Luckily, we got here just in time to get the last table of six available. Everyone was hungry and dim sum is always fun to eat with friends. Order several items to share so you can try as many things on the menu. Service and staff were good. Food came out fairly quick. Picture menu definitely helps - just put in the quantity of the items you want and give to your server when ready. Best to give them everything at once. If you want to order more later, then just ask for another menu or ask of any specific item. They also have drink menu as well...cocktails and adult beverages have to wait til after work and weekends! We had a variety of dishes to share: Turnip cake - always a favorite scallion pancake - yum steamed pork bun - filling soup dumplings - be careful not to let the juice spill on you roast duck spring rolls - was ok, prefer the regular spring rolls shumai - yum, a fave beef chow fun - a staple Too full for dessert, but do recommend the coconut bar. Sesame balls are good when they are hot and fresh as well. Overall, prices are a tad higher than having in dim sum in Chinatown and there are no carts going around. Good to make the trek over once in awhile when in the area. Note: If you pay with a credit card, there is a slight surcharge vs paying in cash like most restaurants these days. read more

Dim Sum Palace - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Well, we found ourselves in Koreatown, but for some reason our party of 4 had a hankering for a dim sum lunch. Probably because there were 2 Chinese in our party and only 1 Korean lol. No problem as Yelp pointed us to this very walkable place and it turned out mighty fine. It was pretty busy for lunch time on a Labor Day and we also found prices to be unsurprisingly elevated given that it's mid-town Manhattan after all. We had a variety of fresh, delicious, and fulfilling dim sum for $78.88 pre-tip. The learning for us was you don't have to go to a Chinatown for decent dim sum in NYC. Another learning is if you see a busy place in Manhattan, they're likely doing something right. ps - there is a 3.5% credit card charge, but at least they are upfront about it. read more

How come no one told me there was dim sum in Midtown?! My friend suggested this to me and I was thoroughly confused because I was always under the assumption most were in Chinatown and a smattering around Manhattan. The dim sum here is surprisingly pretty good. The har gow is sooo good and the shrimp is nice and plump. We also ordered the beef tripe and this is by far the best tripe I've had. Most places are chewy but this was melt in your mouth so good. I do think it is on the pricier end, but I think it's a solid option if you don't want to take the train to Chinatown. Also I totally left my phone at the restaurant and panicked, but the staff came out and chase us down to give it back. So kind of them! read more

Okay so there is definitely some nuance for this Dim Sum Palace. It's a 3/5 stars if we're just reviewing the dim sum and shop overall. Mainly because you can definitely get waaaaay better dim sum in Chinatown or Flushing or Brooklyn and there would also be way more options as selection is limited here. It's a 4/5 stars if you happen to be craving dim sum while in this specific area and for some reason cannot make it to Chinatown/Flushing/Brooklyn for better dim sum. Let's be honest, it's the theater district in midtown Manhattan so there won't be many other dim sum options besides Dim Sum Palace and this place will do the job! It has most of the bare basic dim sum items plus some specialities and also there are main Chinese dishes and entrees too if you were looking for more than just dim sum. Pricing is definitely not as favorable than Chinatown dim sum but you're in midtown! The items that we chose were very solid! Some other commenters had mentioned it could be a hit or miss for other items but the dishes we had were safe bets. Soup dumplings were OK but you shouldn't get soup dumplings at any dim sum place in general haha. Staff members were nice and service was quick. The place itself is long so can fit a good amount of people but not super overwhelming like many other spots in Chinatown so if you're looking for a little cozy joint in midtown Manhattan for dim sum, this might be your spot. read more

My friends and I wanted to try some dim sum in NY, so we stumbled upon this spot. We dined in on a weekend before the rush, and customer service was superb!

Whichever location you choose, you are guaranteed to have excellent Dim Sum (and Chinese Food) at Dim Sum Palace. There are anywhere between 5-7 locations in Manhattan; a dining experience here will never disappoint. This is not a franchise restaurant--all locations are from the same owner. I love Chinese food, particularly Dim Sum. I wanted to celebrate Lunar New Year by having a Dim Sum feast at Dim Sum Palace. This location was on 33rd not far from Macy's. We made the best choice as far as location since it was on a quiet street. There is no lacking of variety, excellent food, good service, clean premises and wonderful hospitality at Dim Sum Palace.. When you dine here, you're getting a great value all around. The menu was lenghty--a photo menu of various DIm Sum as well as a regular menu of Beef, Chicken, Rice, Noodle dishes and more. We were set to keep our selections to everything Dim Sum. We started with a hot sake. A great value at $10 simply because this was a larger bottle than usual. In addition, a soothing pot of Jasmine tea was in order. In total we ordered 9 Dim Sum varieties, all delicious but I secretly leaned towards a few favorites. Order: *Steamed Shrimp Dumpling (4). Always a favorite--delicate dough and pocketful of shrimp *Chicken Dumpling (3)--slightly pan fried and flavorful *Scallion pancake--a true blue favorite that's always a crowd pleaser *Seafood Peashoot Dumpling (3). Steamed, vibrant green. A mouthful of deliciousness *Crispy vegetable spring roll. Coupled with duck sauce--a longstanding favorite *Soybean Dumplings (3). Perhaps my favorite of them all. Pureed soybean in a pocket full of steamed purse like goodness *Tofu wrapped Taro. Maybe my least favorite. I am not a huge fan of silky tofu and this Dim Sum was bland *Shrimp Rice Noodle. Always loved this one. Chunky pieces of shrimp enveloped by rice noodle *Dessert/Taro buns. To die for finish to an already excellent array of Dim Sum. I left feeling satiated having enjoyed some of the best Dim Sum in Manhattan. Luckily, there are several locations to get your Dim Sum fix. So solid! So good. read more

We didn't have dinner plans on the 26th, but my daughter wanted dumplings again and Dim Sum Palace was on the other side of the hotel. We were quickly met and seated, given menus, given water and then after a couple of minutes asked about drinks. The drinks were good, not fancy cocktail bar cocktails, but good. We got pork soup dumplings, scallion pancake, Singapore Chow Mei Fun, pork fried rice and General Tso's. The chow mei fun and soup dumplings were excellent. The fried rice and scallion pancake, very good and the general tso's was good, but sweeter than my wife and daughter have had before. The service was excellent, the food was great and I would happily come here again. read more

My friend and I were so excited to try vegetarian dim sum dishes and these were pleasant but not standout. We got 2 Vegetarian Dim Sum Platters, each of which included 2 of the Buddha Delight Dumplings (green pea on top), Mixed Mushroom Dumplings (purple skin), Bamboo Shoot Dumplings (open top), and another. These were definitely very wholesome and designed carefully with a mind for fillings, but they were all quite bland and the tasteless sticky rice got tiring. The purple Mixed Mushroom Dumplings were our favorite because they were more meaty and juicy. We also got Sweet Sesame Balls which were great. They also have other non-meat options: vegetable spring rolls, crispy vegetarian rice roll, parsley rice noodle, cucumber, pineapple cheese wontons, and their desserts. Sadly, no veggie fried rice/noodle or egg custard tarts. It would be exciting if they could incorporate plant-based meats to recreate other traditional items like lotus leaf-wrapped sticky rice and BBQ pork buns, but I understand that doing so would be a major investment. Still, people of all diets live in NY! Their menu could be improved by adding symbols to help those with dietary restrictions. We had a nice experience dining in and service was very deferential. Dim Sum Palace is decent but not the best for plant-based eats in the city! read more

Dimsum Palace is that perfect place if you're in Koreatown and not necessarily wanting to wait 30 minutes to an hour for a table. It's a solid place for most Chinese dishes -- a good balance between dishes that you would see on a dimsum menu as well as those that you would see in a banquet-style place. The price point is reasonable and despite how busy it gets on an average day, you can always find a table. Just a note that they do charge for tea but other than that, most things are straightforward. The beef chow fun was quite tasty. read more

My Chinese parents would be disappointed if they knew I went here. $8 for tea? Nonetheless, I had willingly gone when the craving for dim sum called, even if it happens in Midtown. The restaurant is like one long L-shaped hallway, with seats along the walls. The dim sum menu was pretty limited, with many of my faves missing. The Pu-erh Tea ($8) was the blandest I had, but more flavor emerged the more it steeped in there. The pot they used was transparent, allowing you to see how much is left, but the different material resulted in it being hot to the touch! The BBQ Pork Buns ($7.95) had dough that kind of sticks to your mouth. I wasn't a fan, and the meat did not stand out. The Taro Cilantro Dumpling ($6.95) intrigued us both. The wrap was super sticky and gooey. You can really taste the taro and cilantro, but the rest of the ingredients are a mystery. The Shrimp Rice Noodles ($7.95) were surprisingly bigger than average. This was due to their larger shrimps, which had a bouncy chew! The rice noodle also seemed fresh and bouncy. I would recommend this one. Another one I recommend is the Pan Fried Shrimp & Chives Dumpling ($7.95). They smelled so good, and while not as pan fried as ones I had in the past, they still slapped! Lastly, our dessert, if you will, was the Sweet Egg Yolk Creamy Bun ($6.95). It was unfortunately served lukewarm despite coming in later than the other dishes. The liquid was still there, and the bread was so smooth, a perfect cushioning for the creamy yolk. They gave 3 sauces with our meal, so this was the first time I had a spicy dim sum meal. This place is expensive, so I'm glad I at least tried out this chain once, but not again. read more

We LOVE dim sum, so any time we're in a big city, we always try to hunt down a good 7 day a week dim sum place. This time around, we tried Dim Sum Palace, and I'm glad we did. Overall, very solid dim sum place. They do all the basics totally well (barbecue pork, turnip cake, sticky rice, shrimp dumpling, etc, all exactly what you expect). Everything is made to order and served pretty hot (I think we only had one dish where I felt there was a temperature issue). The soup dumplings are good, and I would highly recommend trying the crab ones. That was probably my favorite dish that we ordered. Others in our party really enjoyed the pan fried tiny bun (we ordered a second one!), the crispy garlic spare ribs and the pan fried shrimp and chive. Honorable mention for the cucumbers and the dumplings in chili oil (everyone at the table loved those too). Service was generally fine with a few very small hiccups. Would definitely come back. read more

This is such a good spot to come with friends and order different items off the dim sum menu. It lets you try a lot of different dishes, so my friend and I got 4 different menu items to try. We ended up finishing all of it and feeling really full after. This is ranked in order of my most favorite to least favorite, but overall, every dish was good and I would get each one again. -Pork and thousand year old egg congee: This was so yummy and reminded me of my childhood eating this for breakfast. The thousand year old egg was cut up really small (would've wished to have bigger chunks), but it was so warm and full of flavor from salty pork. Then they had some kind of sweet soy sauce and chili oil on the side that was yummy adding into the congee. -Soup dumplings: These weren't the best soup dumplings I've had in the city, but they are really really good. I don't have any complaints about these, the wrapper was pretty thin and held up well without ripping. The dumplings came with a lot of soup inside and a good portion of meat. -Sticky rice with lotus leaf: This was cooked really well where the rice was soft and sticky, and the meat inside was fatty and flavorful. There was a generous amount of meat filling and the rice itself had some flavor too. -Pan fried tiny buns: This I was pretty excited about, but the dish came out different from what I expected. Traditionally, these have a really crispy top or bottom and a little bit of soup inside. Even though it looked like they had fried the top of these, they weren't crispy. The inside didn't have any soup which was okay because not all of them do. The meat was pretty good and had veggies mixed in. Service: We were seated right when we got there and the wait staff was really quick with taking our order, bringing out the food, clearing the table, and bringing our check. It was really efficient! read more
