Came to New York expecting skyscrapers, traffic, and questionable financial decisions. Left thinking mostly about dumplings. Dim Sum Palace was fantastic. The dumplings were hot, fresh, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. We kept saying, "Okay, this is the last round," which apparently means absolutely nothing when dim sum is involved. Everything we tried was delicious, the service was great, and we walked out significantly happier and slightly more spherical than when we walked in. New York: 10/10. Dim Sum Palace: 10/10. Our ability to exercise restraint around dumplings: 0/10. Would absolutely come back. read more

Overall (A) This place is a great safe bet place for Chinese. Got the duck and it was a much larger portion than I expected. Food (A+) The duck is really good the perfect crisp on the skin, the right amount of fat and tender meat. I would get it again. Just wish they would give duck sauce or plum sauce with it. Great portion size for a 1/2 order - enough for two people if you get rice Value (A-) It was $40 with tip and tax out the door. But was happy with portion size. A bit pricey but mid town Manhattan near billionaires row Service (A) Super nice and super fast service Look if you are in the area - get it - it's a good safe bet place with many options read more

Yes, yes, yes! I loved this restaurant! I had seen it walking down the street once, and the next weekend it appeared in a food review so I felt I must try!! Pork buns, soup dumplings, so much food to choose from. Start small, try a few dishes and leave room for more! Everything was hot and fresh. Service was fast. Prices good. I'll definitely be back! read more

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! read more

This was our second dim sum lunch while in midtown for a few days. It was fab! Highly recommend! Service was ok. Ambiance is nothing earth shattering. But the food was really good. Prices reasonable esp for midtown. We didn't have time to get to Chinatown and this was just as good as what we might have found there. We ate every morsel! The pea shoot dumplings were PARTICULARLY good! Gooey and tasty! Perfect! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Okay came here because there was a work function and wanted to go somewhere that wasn't a steakhouse! Came here and I want to say this place isn't as good as the FiDi location. Service is super slow like beyond slow. No one came to get our order like until we flagged them. I remember the snow pea leaves here was plentiful, but bland - the only place that I didn't like the snow pea leaves. They're really busy with to go orders, but I don't know why they aren't as organized as their downtown location. read more

Great food and service without having to go to Chinatown. We were seated quickly with reservations for a party of 6 and food came out fairly quickly. The dim sum choices are a variety and many of the options are traditional Cantonese. We sat upstairs where larger tables for groups are which is near bathroom as well. It's deceiving bigger than it looks from the outside. Just be careful of the hot tea because they come in glass pots which can be hot. Love that they offer tea choices though! Try the hot brown rice tea - so good! read more

This place is terrible. Used to love it. 2 people standing around doing nothing and we kept having to go physically ask them for basic things. Food completely bland-- two soups, rice, other dishes. Really awful. Tried many times, but it has gone seriously downhill. read more

Loved this! The staff were all great. The food was delicious. We ordered far too much to have comfortable bellies but they were happy bellies. The beef chow fun was amazing. The shredded fried duck turnip cakes were to die for. The scallion pancakes were very tasty. The bbq pork buns had amazing filling. You really can't go wrong here, but those were some of my favorites. I can't wait to come back here next time I visit. read more

NYC Chinese Food Woohoo! Tried a bunch of dishes from this place and I'm really glad I did. The fried rice was super flavorful, not dry at all, and had that perfect wok taste. The Mongolian beef was also great, tender, tasty, and cut into the perfect bite-sized pieces. I really liked their Dim Sum Soup too. The flavor and texture were on point. If I had one tiny suggestion, it would be to make the wrapper a bit thinner, but honestly, it was still delicious. I picked up the food and noticed they had an aquarium with live seafood you can order, which was a nice touch. Overall, great food and a solid experience. Definitely coming back. read more

Good experience with Dim Sum Palace Sunday. Tablecloth Chinese. Service is very fast. Soup dumplings were outstanding. Pan fried pork dumplings less successful. Pork and shrimp shumai were ok. Sesame chicken was not good, all whit smear chicken but no flavor. The pork chow fun was above par although the roast pork was shredded and it dried out. The pineapple crab fried rice was above average, needed more flavor. The star of the meal was the shredded beef with spicy sauce and broccoli, I will order this every time. Beef was tender and seasoned perfectly. No white rice is included with entrees. Hot tea is not included. We were on the ground floor, there is an upstairs dining room. I would go back for the beef dish in a second. read more

Good place and location in midtown when in the mood for dim sum...whether for lunch or for dinner... This is one of several locations in the city. Dim sum is good here and staff is friendly. Dim Sum Palace is one of the places I go to frequent enough for dim sum (any time of day) without a need for reservation or wait. Sat once downstairs and another time upstairs where it was much warmer esp in the cold weather. For big parties, highly recommend making reservations. Beverages - they have cocktails, bar menu and tea, soda, to choose from. Their cocktails are good. Prosecco is also good. For a cold day, a pot of hot tea to share is also good to stay warm. The dim sum menu is great - they have pictures of all the food items (no food carts going around), so you know what the food looks like. Just put the quantity next to how many of the dishes you want. My staples here: scallion pancakes, shumai (shrimp and pork), steamed pork buns, pork soup dumplings (to share) Pan fried turnip cake is good to share Main dishes: Order a noodle dish or other dish. General Tso's chicken is good (authentic) Dessert: Coconut bar -- my favorite dessert if I am not too full! Pay in cash or credit card... cash is better for them. If charging with credit card, there is an additional % added. Restrooms are unisex. read more

I was really impressed with the food! They have a huge menu - all your favorite traditional dim sum dishes, as well as classic Chinese favorites and some creative, less common options. The dumplings (we tried the shrimp and the spicy mushrooms) were perfectly cooked. The texture was awesome and they were packed with filling. The shrimp with egg and leek was an unexpected favorite - ultimate comfort food. The pea shoots were also flavorful without being greasy. Everyone was really friendly.

Return or not return? Return! Standard Cantonese dim sum fare. Always enjoy the tad of Cantonese rudeness, but overall the wait staff were good. Reasonable for NYC prices. Service good.

Would you have Dim sum 3-5 pm on a weekday in New York City? Wife and I came here 4pm on Tuesday for our last dinner in New York City on this trip. $8.95 scallion pancake hot and crisp out of the oven, but not much flavor compared to seafood pancakes that I've had elsewhere. $7.95 shrimp dumplings(4) -dough very sticky, with dumpling falling apart when picked up the serving container. Shrimp inside tasted good, with minimum filler. $11.95 Shanghai Juicy Pork Bun(6) soup piping hot and tasty, with flavorful pork inside. Showed my wife how to punch a hole in the bun, letting the soup flow into the soup spoon, while holding up the bun with chopsticks. $7.50 Shu Mai Shrimp & Pork(4) my favorite here firm with solid shrimp flavor. They didn't skimp on the shrimp. $7.95 sticky rice with pork dry shrimp & scallop wrapped in lotus leaf(2). Could only taste the pork, but it went well with the sticky rice. Some of the pork was pork sausage cut into bits, with the other pork shredded in the tasty rice. $7.50 vegetable spring roll(3). overpriced for three vegetable rolls, which were deep fried, despite the picture showing steamed. Next time will have to try the BBQ pork buns, won ton with shrimp and pork, steamed spare ribs in olive sauce, seafood shu mai, and crispy garlic spare ribs. Toward the end of our hour long stay here, saw guests with suitcases streaming in. Straight off the plane from JFK to make the 50% off dim sum before 5pm on weekdays! read more

I thought the Dim Sum here was excellent! We had a scallion pancake, the steam shrimp dim sum, and chives cheng fen which was delicious. The cheng fen was the highlight and incredibly authentic- similar to what I've had in China before. We also had the green tea with black bean dumplings for dessert. I would say Dim Sum of true high quality. We were a little bit thrown off though by one of their steam chicken dishes that came out. We had informed a waiter of our eating restrictions in advance and we noticed there was a piece of a different meat in the chicken and when we tried to confirm whether if it was a different, he said it was still chicken, but the meat looked red and we don't think it was chicken. The dish was also a bit off in taste. Would highly recommend this place for Dim Sum though! read more

I'm basically a connoisseur of dim sum, so I always seek out new restaurants when I'm in big cities. Dim Sum Palace was pretty good. Not the best, but absolutely 100% legit and good. It's pretty similar to other dim sum places - you sit, look at the paper menu, mark what you want and off you go. All of the basics (springrolls, taro cake, etc.) were all fine and well done. The scallion pancake was of particular note - thinner and crispier than most and really delicious. The pan fried buns were excellent - with a really good hard sear on the bottom. Soup dumplings were very good. And the rock star was chili dumplings. Best version of that I've ever had, with a rich luscious sauce (different than the thin oily sauce you get at most places). The one thing I did not like is that this is one of those Asian places with the huge fish tanks at the front. I always feel bad for the creatures in the tanks, and it just has to be a terrible way to go. Service was fine, price was reasonable. read more

Dim Sum Palace was a bit of a mixed experience for me :/ I got the pork soup dumplings and chicken lo mein. The soup dumplings were good with a good flavor, nice broth, and well-made overall. But the chicken lo mein was disappointing; it tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly made. Service was quick though, so that was a plus. Would go back for the dumplings, but I'd skip the lo mein next time. read more

The service here could not be worse. After being seated, we waited for nearly 10 minutes for our server to come to the table. No one ever came and to make it worse we were sitting next to a table full of workers who were all on their phones. They looked at us multiple times and proceeded to let us sit there unattended. We decided to leave and as we were leaving someone ran over and asked if we are really leaving.... So, if you like wasting your time. This is the place for you. This was our third trip to this location. The first time the food was great and service was decent. The second time, the food was ok and the service was lacking. The third time, the service was so bad that we had to leave before eating. Go next door to JRB Public House! read more
