I love the burnt tips of the charsiu, my favorite bite. I've been here for dinner and their dishes are actually pretty good. Really liked their walnut shrimp, the salt and pepper pork chop and the stir fry squid dish (see picture). The restaurant interior is quiet outdated, but the food is good. I haven't tried their dimsum, so I cannot judge. Definitely give their charsiu a try (the half fat/lean cut). I highly recommend it and you'll not be disappointed.

It was raining and cold and we had trouble finding parking and got lost going to East Harbor, our…read moreusual go-to. So we looked for the closest dim sum place near where we ended up and it was Canto Blu. It was an oasis. Very very clean and bright. The staff is attentive. It was very warm and was reasonably calm considering it was Saturday. I loved the bao shaped like piglets and the char siu bao had a nice crisp top. We had all our favorites. It has the approval of my Canto parents and that's a high bar. Thank you, Canto Blu, for warming our bodies and our bellies.

BLUF: OK food; great value; plan for a loud environment during peak times…read more We visited Canto Blu 粤海大酒楼 on a recent weekend for dim sum, and arrived around 12 PM. While the restaurant was nearly full, we were seated immediately. The seats were comfortable but ambient noise levels were super loud, informally measured as averaging in the low 80 decibels. The noise levels were so loud that it seemed that some staff resorted to lip reading in some of our interactions. Food: The food leaned towards mediocre, but was more than acceptable for the price. The "medium" dim sum dishes were $5, while the "large" dim sum plates were $6, which is considered a bargain these days. The chiu zhou fen guo (潮州粉粿; teochew dumplings) were pasty instead of being comprised of discrete ingredients, but flavorful nonetheless. The siu mai (燒賣) were a bit fatty, but juicy. The beef rice noodle rolls (牛腸) weren't great, but still more than acceptable. There was parsley in the beef mince, not typically found in less expensive versions. The only disappointment was the chicken feet (鳳爪), which were bland. Service and Other: Service was pretty good. The servers were friendly and offered to cut large dim sum pieces into smaller potions, while wait staff offered a change of plates. At least one stall in the women's restroom lacked toilet paper, but the men's and women's restrooms otherwise seemed adequately maintained. Canto Blu is up one flight of stairs. There is an elevator in the middle of the restaurant, but I'm unsure how to access that elevator from the outside. Overall: Overall, Canto Blu is worth visiting, especially early in the morning or when the restaurant is less crowded. Do consider bringing hearing protection if you plan to visit when the restaurant is full.

Excellent casual dinner spot with reasonable prices & huge portions. Ru Yi's dishes lean more on…read morethe home-y and no frills side, but their flavors are much better than some of the larger Chinese restaurants in the area. It's on the smaller end for an eatery, but the chefs can keep up well with orders. Service is super fast and efficient - the waiters are practically running back and forth during peak hours, but they get it done. Everything we've ordered here has been good. They have a homestyle fish fillet that I really enjoy, and they have individual servings of double-boiled soup! Portions for takeout are also massive, but things like peking pork chops are of course better there. Lunch options are also super affordable. Parking around this area is not the easiest but doable. It's also located right under the train station. Cash only!

BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

There were 10 of us, so we ordered a variety of Chinese dishes. Overall the food wasn't bad, but nothing amazing. We got about 7 dishes and a soup, and the bill came out to around $413.

To be fair though, the soup was quite delicious and I had two bowls.

This newish restaurant has been opened for about half a year and from the outside you wouldn't know…read moreit's a decent Cantonese restaurant unless you spot the minimal signage. It's in a quieter area of Boro Park surrounded by residences and commercial warehouses and auto shops. Yet I wanted to try it for months. So we did try it especially as they have a lunch special everyday from 11am to 3pm which offers a starter of their house soup with all the fixings - spare rib, fresh chicken, mushrooms, a abalone as well. While not like most other restaurants which their house soup is left over bones and odds/ends with a heap loud of msg. Then 3 main dishes of your choice from their lunch special menu which has over 20 dishes for you. Plus a bowl of their white rice for each person. Even a simple bowl of white rice was amazing - it's a mix of different rices which presents very nicely - each grain stays individual, long, fluffy, and great texture. The main dishes do not disappoint- fresh, flavorful, well balanced, and with wok hay. We've now eaten there a handful of times for lunch and even with other friends/family - everyone agrees the food and preparation is excellent. Everyone says they would come back. Then if you take into account the lunch special deal for $30 this is an amazing meal that feeds your taste buds and stomach yet your wallet praises you. I have read some reviews giving 1 star with comments about long wait for dim sum, dim sum being average at best, and bad manager/servers etc. I have these observations to share - Dak Sing Palace has a small dim sum menu maybe a dozen or less items and they are not a dim sum restaurant so they likely don't produce dim sum fresh daily. Likely their dim sum is frozen and reheated. Thus the wait time and average dim sum. Bad manager/servers - this is not uncommon at Chinese restaurants it is almost expected to have to deal with this to some extent. My own experiences here every server does do their job maybe some without a smile but we have had excellent servers with a smile and small talk also. If you have any reservations about trying Dak Sing Palace due to how the appearance may seem, or reviews on the service, or dim sum then I say Just Go! And try using their lunch special for $30! You won't be disappointed.

In Chinatown, they only care about the money. So if any tourist feel like they are treated differently or the food is bad. Don't take it seriously! There are so many other restaurants to try. This restaurant is my first attempt, but u enjoy it. Order the 3 entrees and 1 soup for price of $18-30. Very affordable and fill you up. If you don't know what to order just ask the service. Ask them for the traditional Chinese food. "Sweet and sour pork" real style, not the one like in the take out restaurants breaded fry pork or chicken in red sauce! Those are Americanize style. Which taste bad no offend. Anyway a great place for family and friend to fine in at even by yourself too.

The dumplings were very tasty and just the right amount of meat inside. Also, the fishballs were soft and delicious. I will definitely be coming back here. Just a heads up that you do not get served here. I have absolutely no problem with that, but for those who do heed my warning. You go in front and order your food, then you get to watch them make your order since they have an open kitchen They make their own noodles which was fun to see too. Also, they have sriracha which is always a plus in my book.
