*Cash only.* But there is an atm on site. It was busy when our group walked in we were seated right away then brought a pot of jasmine tea while we looked over the menu. They have a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options marked clearly on the menu. I ordered a vegetarian dim sum platter and a hot and sour soup, which was enough for me. The rest of the table ordered some family style dishes and a few of us split a bottle of soju. The dim sum stuck together and was quite glutinous, but had really good fillings. The soup had great flavor. Everything was delicious and affordable, except the soju which was a little high at $15 for a small bottle. Excellent service as the staff and servers are always around and on standby. I really enjoyed this restaurant and would come back here in a heartbeat. read more

Came here after a Yankee game (arrived at midnight). They are open late. Service was slow. Food was ok and prices were not justified by the flavors for the amount of food given. Not the typical rolling cart dim sum spot. The restaurant is big with lots of seating. If ya need a late night place to eat at and craving dim sum - this place might be for you. read more

I'm not impressed by the size of food portion you gave to 80 community members at our banquet using your place. It's unbelievable small and the manager left too early and we are not able to reach him to discuss about food portion issue. Drink arrived late. It's a major rip off given the size of portion & service you left us and you are overcharging us way too much for little food. imagine the 5 small dishes and it looks like cost less than 20 bucks and you are charging us $500 for each table of 10 plus we paid the tips! Come on! After that, we had to go out to find a place to eat. Not ideal place to host a party or banquet! read more

Amazing late night/early morning eats! Soup dumplings, shrimp and pork dumplings, and pork buns were all great! Service was attentive and prompt--cash only. read more

Went for lunch and was quick to get a table even though the place looked packed. Ambiance is loud with lots of locals. No pushcarts to order but rather you fill out a paper with what you want based on pictures and wait staff bring out. Food came out and all was piping hot. Everything was pretty tasty with the exception of the clams which were a bit sandy, and the portion was small for the $13.95 price tag. Standouts included the beef tripe, eggplant, and the shrimp with tofu was a first for me. There is a charge for tea based on which one you order ranging from $1-$1.50. It does add up so be mindful of what you order. read more

It was a very busy Sunday, I saw a line out the door, so I knew it must be good. I went to the hostess stand, put myself on a waitlist, and they gave me a paper ticket number and within 5 minutes I got sat. I got a table for one and ordered a hot tea, B.B.Q. Pork buns (3) and shrimp rice noodle roll. The food was really good. The pork buns were so fresh and warm. They ripped apart perfectly and were steaming when they came out. They were so yummy. Sometimes when I order them they're hard and crispy... these were not. They were perfect! After the BBQ pork buns came out and I ate them and then then server said "ready for the check?", I felt like I was being rushed out. Then I told him I was still waiting on the shrimp rice noddle roll. For the rest of my stay I felt like I needed to hurry as they had people waiting to be sat. As for the shrimp rice noodle roll it was so good too, sometimes it all falls apart but these did not. They were wrapped well and super tasty. Overall a great experience. I will say though if you're a large party better to make a reservation a head of time. read more

We love going to Chinatown as it is always an experience--the energy, the sights, and of course, the food. We stopped in here for a quick dim sum lunch as a party of two. While dim sum is definitely better with a big group (so you can try a bit of everything!), we made it work with what we had. The Highlights: The shrimp dumplings (Har Gow) were excellent. The skins were perfectly translucent and the shrimp inside was fresh and snappy. We also really enjoyed the pork and chicken dumplings; the flavor was well-balanced and they arrived piping hot. Unfortunately, the pork ribs were actually terrible. They were the low point of the meal and, looking back, I definitely should have sent them back to the kitchen. I'd recommend skipping those and sticking to the traditional dumplings instead. Even with the "miss" on the ribs, you can't beat the atmosphere of a busy Chinatown dining room. Next time I'll bring a bigger crew so we can cover more of the menu! read more

THE GOOD ---------------- + The dinner is mucccch, mucccch better than the dim sum food. ++++ Ordered Cold Platter (Jellyfish with Ham), Fish Filet with Tofu, Cantonese Style Lobster, Sweet and Sour Pork, Young Chow Fried Rice, Yi Mein and a few vegetable dishes and they were all excellent. Not a single complaint of any of them. Flavors were spot on and everything was absolutely delicious. + Service is fast! From the moment you order, to the point you receive the food, maybe only a few minutes passes and the dishes come out fast and furious! You don't get a chance to breathe as they all arrive THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = On weekend evenings, be sure to make a reservation (if possible), if not, arrive a bit earlier for your dinner plans as the restaurant is EXTREMELY busy during this time. read more

After watching this on YouTube, I wanted to give this place a try. I'm always on the hunt for dim sum in Chinatown but haven't found one that I'm satisfied with. We met up with Daughter for lunch and were immediately seated after we arrived. For a hot summer day, this place has plenty of a/c. The restaurant is huge, with round tables for larger parties covering the center of the place and square tables seating up to 4 people line the leftmost wall. The restaurant is dimly lit for atmosphere and a computer desktop background depicting a mountainous landscape can be seen projected onto the large screen on the back wall. Wine bottles are secured in a nearby cabinet as well. We wanted to order stuff that we normally don't see and got: Pan Fried Pork and Chives Dumplings Seafood Pea Shoot Dumpling Beef Rice Noodle Roll Parsley Rice Noodle Roll Szechuan Spicy Fresh Mushroom Dumplings Pan Fried Pork & Chives Dumplings Shrimp Stuffed with Eggplant Steamed Shrimp, Sausage & Chives Dumplings Taro, Cilantro & Pork Dumplings Small order of Salt & pepper soft shell crab Small order of Pineapple Steak Cube Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. They started passing out the lobster special menu at 11:30 to all the tables. Lobster special is 18.95 each as of 11:30 AM. We got the lobster with sticky rice. The rice was a little disappointing because it wasn't sticky rice as I expected. It was more of a jasmine rice. Otherwise, it was flavorful. There aren't any push carts here. You get a menu and check off what you want. Service was quick. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu. read more

Note: this place is cash only, they have 2 ATMs inside Ambiance - spacious, great for small and large groups Service - food came out fairly quickly, staff was nice Food - prices are definitely on the higher end, lots of the steamed dishes were lacking salt, crispy garlic space ribs were overfried read more

Pros: - the dim sum comes out VERY hot and fresh, it might take a while to come out as each dish is made to order but, it doesn't take too long - the seasoning has improved and it's not overly seasoned Cons: - not necessarily a con unless you want the dim sum cart experience, this place doesn't have the carts, you order dim sum as you go - the service is questionable, there were only 2 tables when we were seated and about 3-4 waiters/waitresses walking/standing around, we were trying to get their attention but no one was looking or paying attention Comments: - came a few years ago, the food was over seasoned and not really your typical Chinese dim sum flavoring - went right when it opened on a Friday, right after Christmas - it definitely feels and sounds like a typical dim sum spot/Chinese restaurant, it can get very loud even if only half the space is filled. It's very lively and feels like home to me - would definitely recommend trying this place out once read more

My relatives took me to Dim Sum Palace for the first time and every time I'm in town I expect some good dim sum. The food here genuinely surprised me because everything came out super fresh and hot. We ordered a BUNCH of dishes that I lost track of taking pictures, but a few really stood out. The steamed spare ribs were hot, tender, and flavorful; the taro pieces mixed in were great too. The chicken feet were cut in half for convenience and the taste and texture were spot on. The hargow surprised me with filling that was mostly shrimp which is sometimes too much to ask for sadly. My favorite might've been the honeycomb tripe (not the one in the stew). It came out steaming and had that ideal bounce without being chewy, I'm pretty sure I cleaned more than half of it. Overall, the freshness and heat of every dish made a huge difference. The restaurant had a great vibe and service was good although they accidentally charged us an extra order of chicken feet (which was resolved when we pointed it out). Definitely worth checking out if you're craving dim sum in the city. read more

After Jimmy Yao standup show, we decide to head to Chinatown for some Canto dim sum. We arrive around 10ish, the place was packed as there's a CNY company dinner. The rude waiter said the kitchen is too busy just dim sum! After she pull the tea then she tell us CASH only. All right, she got an attitude problem. Under the subzero weather, we don't want to change the location & stay. We order 蝦餃, 煎釀矮瓜，釀豆腐，例牌叉燒.大鵬炒米。 All good but the price is out of the world. The bill end up $80.00 plus tip.Other place in Chinatown just as good should be $50.00 top. White people, tourist trap.搞撚錯 read more

I really liked this place, they have a good variety of dim sum and main dishes. They are open till 3am which is a huge bonus and unlike alot of places in chinatown, they accept credit cards.

Authentic dim sum at its best. You know it's good when the place is loaded with Asian business men and women eating lunch.

The food was... fine. Being from the west coast, I think I'm spoiled with Cantonese style dim sum. It's convenient that they're open late but the quality of the shu mai, bean curd roll, steamed spare ribs, were all just ok. read more

This place is Awful. Got soup dumplings with no soup, lychee shrimp (kinda an experimental choice, but this was not the worst thing we got) the mushroom dumpling w bamboo straight up just freaked me out I thought the bamboo was chicken legs just a total texture disaster, another one of the dumplings was mad undercooked on the outside it was sticking to everything and basically un-grabbable. Scallion pancakes had basically nothing inside and no sauce. The pork bun was too sweet and the pork was basically a liquid. All in all an awful experience. And I came here like "oh I heard of dim sum palace," mind you there's a million dim sum palaces in nyc. Lol Perhaps dim sum truly is only a breakfast thing. read more

Sheer bliss! Found this gem during our most recent weekend trip to nyc. After visiting the Bridge Mall for some thrifting (didn't find sh*t), we were in the mood for good Chinese. Click Yelp and yep, Dim Sum Palace fit our needs perfectly. We ordered the sticky rice, bbq buns, crispy cucumber, shrimp dumplings, noodles and the sesame balls. Wow what a treat! Def filled with locals which is always a good sign! Sooo delicious!! Can't wait to try it again. read more

For dim sum this place is the best in Chinatown. Things are freshly made, you actually have to wait a bit for the food, and it's all worth it. Traditionally dim sum is carted around but honestly a lot of places that still do it provide dishes which are not fresh. Okay if you just want the experience but if you want your food fresh, this is the place to be. It can get crowded and noisy when it's busy, and the bathrooms aren't always the cleanest but hey this is Chinatown. read more

The place was popping when we arrived at 6pm. A little hectic at the front door...was. Confused about who to speak to about a table. We were seated at the window, and it took about ten full minutes for anyone to come by. Once we had a server, the meal went smoothly. Delicious soup dumplings, fried rice, noodles, duck, and calamari. Everything was solid, but the dumplings stood out as really tasty. read more

Tucked away on Division Street in the less touristic part of Chinatown east of Bowery, Dim Sum Palace is offers an authentic dim sum experience worth seeking out. The restaurant strikes a good balance between traditional charm and modern comfort in an upscale ambiance. Great option for both dim sum aficionados and newcomers alike. Unlike most dim sum places, Dim Sum palace does not have carts working the space. Instead, you place your order by writing how many dishes you want using the menu[1], and dishes are brought to your table directly. While the cart battles are part of the fun of having dim sum, this is certainly more efficient, and will allow you to have any dish you want. All the dishes we tried were good: from the shrimp dumplings ($5.95 for 4) to the shredded roast duck dumplings ($5.95 for 3) and the taro, cilantro, and pork dumplings ($4.95 for 3); from the shrimp rice noodle roll to the shrimp stuffed with egg plant ($5.95 for 3) and the shrimp dumplings with mayo and corn ($5.95 for 3). My favorite dish were the seafood peashoot dumplings ($5.95 for 3). Prices are slightly higher that other more casual dim sum places in Chinatown. The place is very popular; expect a wait. Alongside the main dining hall, there are also rooms below street level that, although not particularly fancy and window-less, will get the job done if all you care about is food. Open late at night (10am - 3:30am). ---------------------------------- [1] The menu has a picture for every dish, making it easier for less experienced dim sum goers to pick what they want. read more

Another Dim Sum Palace opening up, this time in the heart of Chinatown. The ones in Midtown I feel are pretty whitewashed, but it's pretty legit here. I came here for a birthday dinner and a feast was to be had. Loved every dished that was ordered. Some of the highlights for me were the Walnut Shrimp, Peking Duck, Dungeness Crab Cantonese Style, Lobster Fried Rice, and Chilean Sea Bass. Also, the private room that the host booked included a karaoke machine, so mix that with BYOB, it was a time well spent for a birthday. read more

Great place the food was amazing, i did order too much and was advised that by the server however take out was good It was super busy on a Saturday morning but service was still decent and food came out quick.

I absolutely love Dim Sum Palace, and my boyfriend and I made sure to return this past weekend after our last visit to New York last summer. We came on a Monday during lunchtime and were seated right away. The restaurant was pretty full but not overwhelmingly busy. The place is on the modern side of dim sum places and is quite big. The service was attentive and it was easy to flag someone down if needed. Here you order by marking your selections on a paper menu. While it is not the traditional dim sum cart experience, it does mean you will not be bombarded with carts the moment you sit down, which some may prefer. After handing in your order, the server brings back an itemized receipt. Do not worry because you can always add more dishes. Our favorites are the shrimp crepes, and this time we also tried the salt and pepper shrimp, which was delicious. Everything is made to order, arriving hot and fresh rather than sitting out. Service is relatively quick, and just a heads-up, you will need to pay at the front when you are done. read more

So far I've been here twice with family and both times, we had a pleasant experience. In order to reserve a table for 10 or more ppl, you have to spend a minimum of $500. They don't have your typical dim sum carts, which I prefer. Instead, everything is ordered on the menu checklist and made to order- it definitely seems fresher this way & gives you more control over your options. The restaurant isn't overly crowded/ loud, service was excellent, extensive menu, great portions and prices are reasonable. Most importantly, all the food was flavorful (filled with MSG) and delicious. I especially love the braised e-fu noodle with lobster and steamed pork ribs on rice rolls, the cilantro one is really good too. I actually look forward to having more family reunion lunches here- can't wait :) read more

Came in pretty late around 11-12 so maybe they weren't at their best. Most things just lacked a lot of flavor but the textures were on point. Shumai was solid, the Glutinous puffs were the best thing. Super puffed up and had a real salty minced meat inside that paired perfectly with a little chili oil. Solid spot for affordable dimsum at random hours. read more
