    Peking pork chop
    Clarissa L.

    I've ordered takeout from here a few times and the food is pretty authentic for cantonese food in midtown Manhattan. The beef chow fun had a nice wok hei and the pork chops were great, although lacking the crisp since we got it to go. I've had dim sum to go too and that has also been great. Look forward to returning to eat in the restaurant one day!

    Beef Chow Fun (L)
    Elizabeth X.

    I love Dim Sum Palace, and this location mostly lived up to my expectations. The dim sum options (shrimp dumplings, bbq pork bun, custard bun ["sweet egg yolk creamy bun"], cucumber salad ["cucumber with Szechuan spicy sauce"]) were all excellent, along with the beef chow fun. The sautéed pea shoots were a little on the bland side. I was very disappointed that they were out of shrimp rice rolls despite it only being ~4 PM--one of my favorite dim sum dishes. The General Tso's chicken also tasted off, a bit tangy and not sweet at all. That was the only dish we did not finish. Easy to walk in with a group of four Sunday at ~4 PM.

    This casual Asian restaurant in the Midtown area of Manhattan in NYC serves authentic made to order dim sum and Cantonese classics. I placed a pickup order for the Vegetarian Dim Sum 8 pieces for $17.95. They were delicious but did not come with a sauce. I probably should have looked in the bag before leaving. Pickup was very easy.

    Found this place on yelp and went to have lunch after walking Central Park. The dim sum is fresh and comes out piping hot and delicious. We ended up coming a second time after a long time. New Yorker invited us a couple days later we had different dim sum and it all was fantastic. The service is great. The restaurant is in a great location with plenty of room for many guests. This is definitely on my recommend list.

    We wanted Chinese and the wait for this restaurant was not long. We were sat on the second floor next to the window. I loved it because you could see the snow outside. The server came by and she was a bit rude because we asked her to give us more time. We were still trying to figure out what we wanted to eat. We finally placed our order, and it was different menu items for us to try. The food came out really fast and it wasn't even hot. The rice was cold and the chicken was lukewarm like if it had been cooked already and just waiting to be served. The food had decent flavor, but it was it wasn't top notch. The best part of my meal was the hot tea that was delicious. We finished eating and we were trying to figure out where to go next and see what was close for us to do, and the server kept looking over at us and it seemed like she was talking about us because then we saw two other servers looking over at us. I felt rushed thinking that people were waiting to be sited, but as I walked out I saw that there was no one waiting.

    We came here for dinner and had a good time. The restaurant is relatively big with two floors, and we shared a large table with another party. Service was quick, and the food also came out timely. The food was all decent. Good flavor overall for every dish. I like the dim sum dishes a bit better. My only thing was that everything was a little too oily for my liking.

    Food came out very quick and hot and the service was attentative. All the dumplings were very authentic and delicious, although pricey relative to other dim sum places. The quality was definitely on par with some of the best. Probably the best congee that I have ever had in New York. The jellyfish was also exceptional. Besides the usual dim sum fare, I was pleased that they had other creative offerings, like the taro, cilantro, and pork dumplings. They did however miss part of my order although I was already full so didn't complain and wasn't charged anyway. I would have enjoyed having the shrimp, sausage, and chives dumplings. I definitely will return!

    Crispy Garlic Spare Ribs
    Jennifer G.

    The food and secure are great. Our food came out quickly and very hot. We really liked the Shredded Roast Duck Stir Fried Turnip Cake with shrimp in XO sauce and the Crispy Garlic Spare Ribs. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp Dumplings were also good. I liked the Taro Cilantro and Pork Dumplings but my husband didn't. I happen to like taro and cilantro and he doesn't. The Steamed Beef Honey Comb Tripe was a little sweet for me. I prefer it more savory. This has become our go to place when we come to New York because we were able to order dim sum that we don't find in the San Francisco area.

    Found this place when we craved Dim Sum after a Broadway show. We loved everything. The dumplings were all fresh and tasty. And 4 orders of various dumplings were enough for me and my wife. Which means we got out of there under 40 bucks on the bill. It actually made us wish we had ordered some to go for the ride back to Philly.

    Sticky rice
    Austin K.

    Wow, I was surprised by how good this place ended up being. It is a little pricy but normal for the area. We got here around 11:30am on Saturday and were the first customers. The 2 of us shared 5 dishes and we were exploding by the end. The pu'er tea was good and with constant offers of refills. We had the turnip cake (crispy exterior and seasoned well), shrimp dumplings, beef noodle roll (bland, but good rice roll), sticky rice, and roast pork bun. The turnip cake was particularly good, and maybe the best I've had in NYC including Chinatown. The only complaint is that I wish they spaced out the food more so things didn't get cold, but small complaint. 5% discount for cash

    Pork & Thousand Year Egg Congee. $8. Odd color and not too much century egg. Wouldn't recommend
    Glenn C.

    This is one of the may locations of this dim sum chain and as per many recent reviews, I went here a good while ago with one of my more common food groups. We sat upstairs as our group size was pretty large and we tried a bunch of dishes with mostly dishes from the dim sum menu (though many of them are not dim sum) along with some others. They gave us tea of course which was refilled when necessary which needed to be steeped for a bit and was piping hot as per always. The Shredded Roast Duck Stir-Fried Turnip Cake With Shrimp in XO Sauce for $11.95 was our favorite bite of the evening. The turnip cakes had a wonderful slightly toasted yet bouncy texture with the XO sauce adding some good funk, some spice, and a light seafood flavor from the dried scallops/XO sauce. The duck on top was pretty tender for it being shredded. I would heavily recommend this. Each person also got one of the Palace Dim Sum Platters consisting of 8 pieces which was around $17 I believe. These included har gow/crystal shrimp dumpling, steamed shrimp, sausage, and chive dumpling, shrimp dumpling with mayo, taro, cilantro, and pork dumpling, chicken dumpling, and a spicy mushroom dumpling I believe and two others. It was a nice mix of textures with some chewier ones with the har gow being my preference of the bunch and of the shrimp ones. It was a solid mix. We also got some Pork and Shrimp Shumai for $7.50 which were very tasty. Nice and bouncy with a good texture from the shrimp primarily. The wrapper was also very thin so they were overall very tasty. I would recommend them. The Sticky Rice Lotus Wraps/Zongzi with pork, dried shrimp, and scallop for $7.95 wasn't as good. There was much more rice than filling and the pork inside was dry with the rice being a bit wet. Honestly, the ones sold by the woman in Chinatown are better than these and those are way cheaper and that should be the bare minimum. The Pork & Thousand Year Egg Congee for $8 wasn't my favorite either. The century egg flavor was much lighter than usual and the pork again wasn't the best. It was also oddly dark for a congee. I wouldn't recommend it much either. Outside of the overall good dim sum, a couple of the other dishes were very tasty outside of as mentioned the congee and zongzi. I'd go back to try more dim sum even if there's places I prefer.

    Visited again for a second time and left with the same impression: satisfying meal, reasonably priced, decent service and overall very good.

    turnip cake + pan fried chive dumpling
    Donna T.

    Super interesting and delicious dim sum! What's unique is Dim Sum Palace's variety of dumplings that aren't usually offered elsewhere. We ordered the roast duck dumplings, taro cilantro and pork dumplings, pan fried chive and pork dumpling, turnip cake, and shrimp rice noodle roll. The duck and taro dumplings were incredibly flavorful, soft, yet had a satisfying bouncy texture. The turnip cake and pan fried chive dumpling were pan fried to perfection; usually at other dim sum restaurants the crisp is always lacking. Another plus is that they provide chili oil and soy sauce right off the bat! I'd skip on the shrimp rice noodle roll though as the texture of the noodle was surprisingly a bit dry/rigid, and the shrimp was overcooked. We came at an off hour so it wasn't too busy and service was pretty quick. There's pictures to the dimsum which are helpful, and you order directly on the paper menu. I'd definitely want to come back and try the other dumplings and dimsum.

    I ordered the General Tso's chicken which was highlighted as a favorite on their menu for good…read morereason. It was absolutely delish. The sauce was spicy & you could enjoy the sweetness as well. The chicken always tender and juicy. The broccoli was steamed fresh. The spring rolls we a little over cooked for my liking but had a great flavor. The restaurant is themed but I a very taste way with paper lanterns hanging from the ceilings The staff was responsive and kind. Definitely would come here again.

    I'm a big fan of Cantonese cuisine, so I was excited to try Uncle Lou's! I went on a weekend…read moreevening, and they were PACKED. There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.

We added the rice roll casserole and the mushroom with pea shoot leaves. The food took a few minutes to get to us but was overall ok. Nothing mind blowing but it scratched the itch. The service, however, sucked. They gave us another table's congee which we informed them we didn't order. And after our food arrived, we never saw the waitstaff again, until our check. I couldn't even get a refill on my water. And when the manager gave me my check she pressured me to give them the tips in cash and not charge it. I said fine but truthfully I tipped them more than they deserved.
