AYCE dim sum on the weekends! need i say more? i personally prefer the steamed dim sum as the fried options are deep fried, and can be greasy. service was kind and efficient, and it was a great place to be able to have a conversation or read a book. no credit card fee either! read more

Great for eat in or take out. The service, food and ambiance is A+++ with deals so good that I'd takeout any day. $21.99 dinner special -three course dinner is a steal! Soup, eggsrolls or dumplings, and a HUGE main course!! My sister and I shared a bottle of sake, $15! The staff recommendations were perfect. The general Tsos chicken was fresh, tender, and delicious, with a little kick! The shrimp eggrolls were delicious. See you again very soon!! read more

I found this place on Yelp and was looking forward to trying it. Stopped in for dinner. The interior was clean and ambiance nice. There was only one table occupied and one person waiting for take out. I ordered a young chow fried rice around 16 dollars, pork lo mein around 16 dollars and a pot of tea for 5 dollars. The pork lo mein was greasy with large pieces of boneless pork that looked like spare ribs. The pieces had a lot of fat and the meat wasn't freshly prepared. There was less than one button mushroom, a few pieces of green onion and a tiny bit of carrot and cabbage - essentially no vegetables. The fried rice was horrible. Mushy rice with slight burnt taste from frying. Very old grey dry out pieces of char siu pork, cubed ham, peas and carrots and at least two jumbo shrimp were visible. I sent this dish back. The tea was not good - suppose it was inferior quality and old. Should have not gotten tea. I had a small cup only. I had previously ordered char siu baos to go for 7.50. These were edible. The char siu sauce was a bit on the strong side and there were a bit of inedible pieces of pork in each bao...however they were better than the two dishes I ordered. read more

I had the lunch special and it was really good. I got the shrimp broccoli and it came with soup and a dim sum. For $13! Very pleased. read more

The price is right especially for its location! It can be tough to find quality healthy, affordable, and dine-in food in midtown manhattan. Loaded up on the veggie dishes and the classic dim sum staple- dumplings (of various fillings). There are options for the more adventurous eaters as well like chicken feet. Try whatever your heart desires, and feel free to ask questions. The staff is happy to help! read more

Was craving some really good dip sum and I was super happily satisfied ALL the dumplings we had were really sooo good, but the soup dumplings absolutely were the star. The sesame balls were our dessert and they were DELICIOUS. I still think about them. read more

How could I forget about this hidden gem within walking distance from Grand Central. The restaurant isn't that big, so if you have a large party you have to get there early for lunch. The menu has a good selection of dim sum options and regular Chinese food for the vegetarians and meat eaters. My friends and I got a little of everything and the food did not disappoint. Service was fast and food was delicious. You can't go wrong stopping by or ordering delivery. read more

Ordered: Seafood Pan-Fried Noodles (~$17) Signature Dim Sum Platter (~$22) Aya's take: It's been a while since I've had dim sum and when I saw this beautiful Signature Dim Sum Platter, I knew I had to stop by. This platter offers 9 different pieces that have shrimp, chicken, duck, beef, mushroom, egg custard, sesame, and more! Each bite was unique, full of flavor, and very fresh. One of the pieces had pork in it (shrimp with pork shumai), and they were able to swap it out for a regular shrimp shumai which I appreciated as a non-pork eater. The Seafood Pan-Fried Noodles didn't really hit the spot for me. The seafood was decent but the pan-fried noodles definitely needed a bit more of the sauce from the seafood to properly eat it (unless you prefer the crispy noodles). The chili sauce elevated the flavors a lot but I would probably order a different noodle dish next time. If you come here, definitely get the Signature Dim Sum Platter! read more

It was six friends and myself who met at Dimsum Garden, we were all pretty hungry. The inside is small, but they had a large table, to fit our large group. We first started with a pot of Chrysanthemum tea. I'm not sure how authentic this tea was, but it wasn't super flavorful. We got so much food, I don't have pictures of most of it, nor do I know what some of it was called. We had soup dumplings, sesame balls, crispy shrimp rolls, Turnip cake, spinach and chive dumplings, just to name a few. My favorite might have been the sesame balls, with red bean. These were both sweet and savory, so soft and chewy. I enjoyed the Turnip cake, this is best with oyster sauce. The shrimp rolls were crispy, crunchy and delightful. Everything was a hit amongst all of us. We arrived hungry, and left full. We had a true feast at Dimsum Garden. read more

Ordered delivery and it arrived quickly. The shrimp with pork shumai and har gow met expectations, while the crispy shrimp with tofu skin roll was a bit tough to chew. The sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf was flavorful. The dim sum platter was fun to eat, though we had a hard time identifying each item. One of them was a beef roll, and it was surprisingly good. Maybe we'll order that dim sum next time. The lobster with ginger and scallions over pan-fried noodles was outstanding, and I appreciated that it came with plenty of vegetables. Will definitely order again! read more

I like their box Dimsum like a bento. But this time I ordered soupy buns with shrimp and pork. Crispy (but was not) pork and a spinach filled dumpling with shrimp. I like the dumplings. Glad to have it in Midtown East without having to trek down Chinatown. read more

There were not one but two hairs during my lunch the other day. The first hair was a long hair on top of my utensils when I sat down. The second hair was right on top of my sesame bowl. They're nice there so I don't want to do this to them but man, have your people wear hair nets or something. read more

This place is relatively new I believe. I've been here twice now and they did not disappoint. It's also a nice addition to the area as I don't think there are too many other dim sum places that are close. It's isn't too big but probably a dozen or so tables. It can get busy too. They have dim sum as well as "regular" dishes as well. There's a menu where you can check off the dim sum items you want which makes it easy because there are pictures as well. I went with some dim sum and some regular dishes as well. Everything we had was delicious. The dim sum was really good. The service was good too. Accommodating and very nice. I'll definitely be back. read more

We had a nice lunch here recently. Since the weather was chilly I was in a soup mood and ordered their wonton soup with noodles. This big bowl was very satisfying to me. My wife ordered one of their lunch specials...chicken with eggplant, brown rice, hot & sour soup, and a spring roll. It was too much for her to finish so I was obliged to help her out. The restaurant is vey clean and well lit with a warm, inviting feel. We hope to be back again someday soon... read more

The all you can eat deal is very good. Selection is typical for a dim sum place, and everything was done well. I do have to say the dishes did feel pretty oily, so you get full pretty fast. And also the serving speed was very strange. Some things came fast, others took a while. Kind of messed up the appetite flow and made it hard to enjoy the overall meal. Maybe I showed up too early before the kitchen was in full swing. read more

For me this place is one of the best lunch spots around town ! They have a great lunch special menu ! The staff is always very friendly and quick it's a great place if you're in the area you should give it a try ! read more

Making the trip down to Manhattan Chinatown or trekking to Flushing for some dim sum requires planning and a time commitment, so when a Dim Sum Garden opened in Midtown East, it was a welcome addition to the neighborhood. It is more expensive given the location, but it is worth the convenience. They have some unique, less common items like truffle mushroom dumplings, pea shoots with scallop dumplings, or duck spring rolls, and the decor inside the restaurant is modern and clean. I had been there once before and had a decent experience, however my most recent experience last week left an extremely sour taste in my mouth. My mom and I grabbed dim sum on a beautiful Sunday around noon and were seated right away. There were many open tables, but they quickly filled with parties after us. We immediately put in our order and built up quite an appetite as we waited. We ordered 4 dishes, two of which were steamed. Before we knew it, a half hour had passed and we had not been served a single dish. We checked in with the waiter, and he responded saying it's coming out soon, so we continued to wait patiently, trying to silence our growling stomachs with ice water. We then noticed other tables that were seated after us received dishes before us, so we checked in again. The waiter said that they don't have enough space on their steamers but it'll come out soon. Our first dish came out 45 minutes after we seated. It was a fried shrimp in bean curd dish ... that does not require steaming. We waited another 10 minutes for our next dish. And 10 mins after that did we get our final 2 dishes. While the food was tasty, they really need to work out their service issues and efficiency. Now if that wasn't bad enough, I had given a tip that was reflective of the service I received. It was not a pre-calculated option that you often see at the bottom of receipts where you can just check a box. I manually wrote in my own tip as I often like to make my total a round number ending in 00 or 50 if I can help it. I kept my customer receipt and checked my credit card statement and noticed that they added onto my tip and charged me more. Thank god I still had my receipt as proof to dispute it with my credit card! It is extremely unethical and illegal for them to charge me an amount other than what I wrote in my receipt, and you can be sure I will not be returning. For any of you looking to go, beware! Be sure you keep your receipts and make sure your credit card statement is accurate. Shady! read more

Food 5/5 Decent dimsum that I would come back. The price is also reasonable considering it is in Midtown. Although the dim sum option is limited, they have all the classic ones that you would usually order Service 5/5 There was no wait on a Sunday noon. You know how amazing that is for Manhattan? These days I just really appreciate that I don't have to wait for hours for a seat, especially it is for dimsum Ambiance 5/5 The place is clean, nice and well-decorated, which gives the feeling the this place is over priced, but it's really not. I would come back again read more

Okay I have to come clean and say that I am very very pleasantly surprised by how delicious this place is. I ordered the dim sum platter for takeout and fully expected it to be mediocre given this is a random, new dim sum place that was established in a corporate-y area of midtown east. To my complete surprise, every single item was super fresh and flavorful. I've had all the famous dim sum places in NYC and I kind of hate to say it but this place might be my favorite. The platter itself was decently priced and packed with 9 large portioned items that each bring a unique taste to the table. If I were the incumbent dim sum restaurants, I would be taking notes from this place! read more

I used to eat Dim Sum on the regular so since it's been a minute, I wanted to get my fill. I found Dimsum Garden in east midtown while passing through. They have two large menus - one for dim sum, and another for large dishes. - Sticky Rice with Lotus Leaf (Lo Mai Gai) 5/5!! MY FAV dim sum ever. And they do it perfectly. Lots of filling inside fragrant sticky rice. - Scallop & Shrimp with Pea Sprout Dumpling (3 pcs) 5/5. So much filling! So tasty! - Beef tripe with Black Pepper Sauce 5/5! It's the best tripe I've ever had. Tender with aromatic and slightly sweet pepper sauce. So delicious and everything was fresh. Service was active and caring. And I like the decor with honeycomb plating that perfectly fit together. 5 star restaurant, I'll be back read more

Came on a weekend with a friend to try out this new dimsum place in midtown east. I'm glad I did, it was a delicious time! I'm so glad to have a little variety of Chinese food around this area, and happy to support a friendly new business in their soft opening, they've impressed me. Food: Delicious! The menu is expansive, doesn't have all the types of dim sum I usually like but enough choices for me to get a lot of my authentic favorites! Xiaolongbao (the soup dumplings) and the turnip cake (lo bak go) are great, and come with delicious sauces for dipping. There are some very cool modern spins on some of the flavors, including the custard bun (nai wong bao) but with a cool black bun and rich flavor and a truffle mushroom dumpling. Highly recommend! Ambiance: Clean and fresh, the decorations look great. It was pretty busy already despite only being open for a short time, I think that it will only get busier and we'd have to think about making reservations. Service: Great! The staff was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend, and hope to come back soon! read more

Very enjoyable, a great option for midtown east dim sum, in particular if you are solo as their 9 piece combination platter allows one to sample a wide variety of offerings alone. Also, the combination platter is a healthy breakfast alone, I would not suggest ordering more if you are alone, though I'd like to try some different options on my next visit. I arrived at 2 pm on a Sunday, seating was wide open, service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was quiet. Great for families, smaller groups and of course solo diners. Prices, considering the location, are reasonable. read more

Delicious dim sum and other dishes. Very friendly staff in a nice setting. You can't go wrong with a good meal here.

Ordered dim sum from this place, it was so disgusting that Im shocked by all the positive reviews. The soup dumpling dough was though thick and tasteless. Chow fen noodles were greasy and hardly had any meat. All dim sum was oversized and artificial tasting. Presentation was messy, everything looked unappetizing. Basically bad quality food. read more

The first time we had Dim Sum Garden we did takeout. Everything we ordered, the dim dum and the main dishes, was excellent. So when cousins were visiting and wanted to go there for dinner, we were enthusiastic! Not so much, after we went, sadly. When we sat down, we were given one dim sum menu for all 4 of us, and one regular menu. We asked for another of each. You check a box or put a number in that box, next to what you want from the paper dim sum menu. We combined our dim sum and soup,choices and also checked off the seafood chow fun on the same paper. When we ordered all that plus the chicken with black bean sauce, we asked for brown rice. One of the dim sum we'd had the first time were the steamed duck dumplings, and they were delicious, with small but definite chunks of poultry inside. We ordered them yesterday and we were so disappointed. If there was any duck meat inside, it was tiny pieces like chopped meat and you didn't taste duck at all. The shrimp har kow, on the other hand, were full of shrimp, perfectly cooked and very good! So, uneven at best in terms of the food. We had other dumplings as well, which were good, not overwhelmingly excellent. The hot and sour soup was excellent! The chicken with black bean sauce was very good also, but we got white rice instead of the brown we had asked for. As for the seafood chow fun, we waited, and waited, and waited some more. Finally one of my cousins caught one of the servers and mentioned that we had also checked off the seafood chow fun on our order. He mumbled something, never said sorry nor told us it was coming, so we sat there not quite sure what to do! Finally, it was brought to the table, about 15 or 20 minutes after we'd finished everything else. The main dishes we had were very tasty and most of the dim sum were good. The service left much to be desired. Maybe this will be a takeout place for us rather than eating in, based on this experience! read more

Delicious dim sum! Went on a rainy weekend and it was the perfect spot for a cozy brunch. Tried the hot and sour soup, lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice, chicken feet, and soup dumplings.

Overall a great addition to the neighborhood and would highly recommend. read more

Decided to try them when I saw the sign for take out specials. The $10.99 price runs all day. The container is a smaller than a regular one. The food is tasty. They also have one piece of egg roll. It's a great deal for $10.99. read more

Went for the lunch special. For less than $15 (after tax), you certainly get a bang for your buck with an entree, side of rice, vegetable roll or sesame ball, and a side of soup. That said, the food was good, but I didn't find it to be anything particularly special. I got calamari with broccoli and it was probably 65% broccoli. Definitely gets the job done though, and service was great! read more

Ambiance (5/5): They just opened recently and loved the inside décor! It was clean, not loud, and plenty of space between the tables. Service (5/5): Our party of 3 was the first to arrive on a Sunday. The menu is printed with descriptions and pictures to help with ordering. You mark on the paper menu which items you want. The number of staff members definitely exceeded the number of parties dining which meant that we were serviced frequently. Food (3/5): Overall, the dishes were artistically plated but the flavors lacked authenticity. The atypical translucent dumplings were made out of a glutinous skin rather than the usual flour. The table chili oil was delicious! By order from best to worst: Sticky rice in lotus: they wrapped the lotus leaf within an outer paper so that when handling, your hands remain clean! This extra step isn't usually taken at other establishment which gives it a kudos! This was my favorite as it had Chinese sausage, nuts, and other stuff inside it. Short ribs: Great seasoning and flavors; be aware that the cut of meat as lots of fatty meat surrounding it Steamed pork ribs: plated with a small bed of pumpkin to appear like there's more than there is. Good flavor and tender pieces of meat. Soup dumpling: The soup itself is good but both the skin and meat is such a letdown in texture. I would not recommend getting this! Roasted duck dumpling: very little duck meat on the inside as there was mostly like carrots. Again not Siu Mai: there is a full piece of shrimp atop the siu mai (usually it's small chunks throughout so more generous) Black truffle dumpling: There's a strong truffle taste but it was the lack of stuffing and skin that made me dislike it. The bill came out to around $60 which is more expensive than if you dined in Chinatown or Flushing. We left pretty stuffed but the taste did not meet my expectations. read more
