    Beef chow fun
    Christopher C.

    Very good spot-- came for Chinese new year w some friends and it did NOT disappoint. The bbq pork buns and the beef chow fun were solid, but I'd want to try other items! Need a veggie always and the eggplant twas swell Friendly waitstaff and lovely ambience. Cheers!

    Roast Pork

    Wonton soup amazing, soup dumplings amazing, best shrimp spring roll I've ever had really unique, roast pork was nice but the rest was another level

    哇!我吃饱了! The scallion cake was aight -- ode oily, to the point where the grease muted the flavor of the onion itself Xia Long Bao was super good tho, wrapper could benefit from being a little thinner but the actual soup itself was incredibly rich and balanced. The duck dumplings go BONKERS fr -- though I'm not the biggest fan of the gummy rice wrappers on dim sum, the actual duck meat itself was nothing short of mesmerizing. The small cubes of meat were incredibly tender and maintained the perfect ratio of fattiness to flesh, all enveloped in a rich brown sauce. Oh the goddamn Jiu Cai Jiao dumpling was a sleeper pick --, the succulent shrimp was starkly contrasted by the eye widening bright freshness of the chives. Like biting into a rain forest. The general Tso (yeah I ordered gtao suck me, it balances the other fresher and or spicier dishes well when eaten in tandem) was absolutely incredible -- the chicken was primarily breast meat and still managed to be succulent, while the breading itself was paper thing and crisp. The sauce had the perfect cornstarchy goopiness and was packed with fresh ginger and garlic. Highly recommend.

    We had to order a bowl of white rice for this salty dish.

    After a show, my Mom and I went around the corner to Dim Sum Palace, on 2nd Ave, to have an early dinner. We were starvin' like Marvin, and I ordered a lot of dishes. The service was excellent - we were supposed to have 1 more guest. They seated us first and did not make us wait. The decor is nice - love the beautiful design on the cups and dishes. The ribs and the house special were a little bit disappointing, but my favorite seafood dim sum and the duck were delicious. I would go back if I were in the neighborhood!

    Cozy dimsum spot, no carts but every dish was made fresh. We got a bunch of stuffs and Chicken Feet, Custard Buns, Congee, and Taro Dumplings stood out. I'd skip the XLB cause the wrapping was very thick. Bring a crowd so you can try more!

    Hot and fresh legit

    Been to the other location near theatre district was in a basement. Weird at first and thought hmm is it good, and it was. So tried this location and realized there's a bunch more. Standard dim sum fare with full dinner menu available. Key is hot and burning hot steamed items. And they didn't disappoint. No rush, friendly service. Will be back.

    23. BBQ Pork Buns
    Ashley J.

    Favorite dim sum in the city. Have come more times than I can count and to different locations throughout the city but most frequently East Village. Food is great and comes out very quickly. Menu is super affordable. I like the BBQ pork buns (my favorite), the scallion pancakes, duck egg rolls, shu mai, pan fried and soup dumplings. I also like the green balls with the bean paste in them for dessert.

    private dining room, can seat about 18 people

    If you're hunting for dim sum after normal brunch hours, Dim Sum Palace could be your spot. This low key restaurant's kitchen churns out great dim sum classics past the normal dim sum window of like, 2pm. In fact, you have until 10:30pm most nights to get your dumpling fix here in the East Village. While the no frills ambience isn't anything to write home about, it's the food most of us are there for. It's all about those steaming parcels of joy that hit better than any 3am delivery order, at least speaking for myself. Their turnip cakes have great char flavor. The veggie dumplings are for your meat-free or meat eating friends alike. And if you don't at least get an order of the shrimp rice noodle rolls, have you even dim summed? And we can't forget about my fave dim sum dish, the har gow. Always my go-to dim sum order. Dim Sum Palace also comes through with the stir-fried rice noodle game - their wide rice noodles with seafood has great wok flavor. And you can never go wrong with some scallion pancake action, unless you hate fun. You can also rent out their small private dining room for about 15 or so folks. You'll probably want to bring your own decorations to jazz up the space, but it's nice to know there's an option (there's probably a minimum spend requirement. Inquire within). It's not the best dim sum I've ever had, but at the end of the day, Dim Sum Palace checks all the boxes for anytime dim sum satisfaction without having to hoof it to Chinatown. Just be ready to ignore the nothing-to-write-home-about decor and let those flavors speak for themselves.

    Siu mai

    Visited on a rainy day it was so perfect! The owner was so nice and talked to us so much! He was really funny and friendly!! Came for lunch but still had lots of seats, the restaurant is clean and nice! Got couple things, siu mai was excellent. Love the soup dumplings

    Cecilia L.

    Phenomenal customer service here!! Food is slightly small portion size but taste was good too. Great place for group dinners. We had a group of 12 and it was perfect

    Beef chow foon
    John S.

    The restaurant has a intimate feel with dim lighting and white tablecloth. My party was personally served by the owner, Mr. Tam who provided warm and genuine service. The prices on the menu are higher than what you normally see but overall the quality justifies the price. Except for the Phoenix feet which was a bit dry, the other dishes were so good, it could belong in a high end restaurant in China and Hong Kong. The beef chow fun had a tremendous amount of wok hei (breath of wok) and the beef was so tender. The owner was humble saying his chefs are lacking compared with chefs in Hong Kong and China, but the chefs at Dim Sum Palace belong in the top echelon. This is definitely a place for a nice meal if you want high quality dim sum and Cantonese food.

    Came in right at 11A on a Tuesday because we are tourists hehe. They greeted and welcomed us, then seated us accommodating with our baby and stroller. Their dim sum selections vary from the signature shu mai and shrimp dumplings to more adventurous shredded duck dumplings. We decided to order an assorted tray of dumplings, a few new items and the OG choices. Every single item we ordered was amazing! It was so extremely fresh and tasty! I recommend: anything you want to try lol. But do get the crispy pork ribs, so good with some white rice. Their crabmeat soup dumplings were tender and flavorful. I mean it was just everything I desired in a dim sum palace! They definitely got their name right. Plenty of room and love the ambiance of exposed brick. Just a clean look and feel while you have their delicious dishes. Thank you!

    Food is good and staff is friendly! Came in just as they opened on a Sunday and as our meal went on, it got pretty busy! Seems like a popular spot. Lots of big tables, good for large groups.

    I've been meaning to try this! Walked by, saw a lunch sign, so ordered shrimp and garlic sauce (has…read morebroccoli); +4 shiumai, lunch special $14 takeout, and was really excited about it! Shiumai exceptional! Other food, not so much. Will not return for lunch special, perhaps only dumplings, presumably. Even the WHITE RICE is crunchy/overcooked/completely a disaster! Truly remarkable. Soup terrible, didn't even resume after first few cornstarchy bites. Perhaps it's on me for not pretty in the correct things, but if the rest of the offerings are this awful, please just don't even offer them. So very disappointing. (I mean, how can you possibly be an ASIAN RESTAURANT and under/overcook WHITE RICE?!???!!! Don't you eat it? Obviously not!!!)

    I'd say the food earns them 4 stars on its own, and you can find more of a variety at the dim sum…read morehalls of Flushing, Chinatown, and Bensonhurst, but the food here is still quite food for midtown and worth a visit for. Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

    Did a take out/delivery order from Dim Sum Sam…read more Plenty of options to select from for take out/delivery. The roast pork rice bowl looked good from the choices on the menu so decided to select that. For $15 it was a good deal as the roast pork and rice itself was plentiful and filling esp if one is hungry. Definitely had enough sauce which was good. Came with 1/2 egg which was nice. Food order and delivery from GHub was pretty quick esp since there was no specific time just asap (only downside of ordering via an app). However, food did stay warm. Will have to go there to dine... but will order again.

It's pretty spacious so large parties can easily fit as well. Open till 12:30am so it's pretty obvious this spot just slaps. Value, opening hours, ambiance, convenience, all of that adds up to be one of my favorite spots on a New York adventure. Dim Sum Combo A - a little bit of everything makes up this set, perfect for two people to share especially. This really has all the classics including har gow, siu mai, XLB, and egg tarts plus some extra goodies. Will say there are (obviously) better tasting pieces out there but these aren't low quality at all. I've had much worse and each item hit the spot. Choy Sum w/ Oyster Sauce - no green beans so we settled for some other greens and fiber. Nutritious, juicy, healthy, cannot complain here. Crispy Pork Belly - Not a bad price for the amount, great crispy skin on top with the typical balance of fat and meat. This one also hit the spot perfectly, even if not our favorite or best, the price and value cannot be beat while satisfying cravings.

I was browsing for places with scallion pancakes and I came across this restaurant. I saw they had a scallion pancake beef rook which I'd never seen before. It was fried and crispy on the inside with tender beef on the inside, that was slightly savory slightly sweet. I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place.

While the food also came out quickly, our drinks came out towards the end of our meal. It's a good spot for big parties as it never got too busy even on a Saturday night. They also have private rooms. The live music was fun, but also made it hard to have conversation.
