One of my favorite spots for authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum in NYC!…read more Dim Sum Palace is a fantastic choice for both dim sum and family-style Cantonese dinners. The dim sum is steamed to order, so everything arrives fresh and hot. I also love that you can browse the paper menu, mark what you want, and order at your own pace. Beyond dim sum, this is one of my go-to spots for family dinners and celebrations, especially since they have private dining rooms downstairs. Must-orders for dinner: - Geoduck Clam (Sashimi and Soup) -- Fresh, light, and wonderfully crunchy with a delicate sweetness. Don't miss the soup they make afterward using the geoduck body, with mustard greens and tofu. The broth is *鮮甜* -- naturally sweet, fresh, and full of delicate seafood flavor. Such a lovely way to enjoy the ingredient from start to finish. - Teochew-Style Chilled Crab -- Must preorder ahead! The giant crab is delicate, meaty, and naturally sweet, paired with a lovely vinaigrette that complements rather than overpowers its flavor. It's a dish that's surprisingly hard to find done really well, and this place absolutely nails it. A must-try for crab lovers! - Lobster -- Another standout! The batter is light rather than thick and heavy, letting the lobster shine. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and succulent. When a restaurant gets the batter-to-lobster ratio and cooking just right, it makes all the difference. - Jumbo Shrimp with Honey Walnuts -- A classic Cantonese banquet favorite! Plump shrimp paired with creamy, sweet honey-glazed walnuts make this a crowd-pleaser for the whole table. - Grilled Beef Short Ribs -- Packed with flavor and wonderfully tender, with a delicious grilled finish. A great dish for meat lovers. - House of Gold and Silver -- Crispy tofu "gold bricks" served with clams and dried squid. This classic Cantonese banquet dish brings together contrasting textures and savory seafood flavors. A comforting, nostalgic dish that feels right at home at a celebratory dinner. - Golden Double Egg Fried Rice -- A satisfying fried rice with rich egg flavor, perfect for rounding out the meal and sharing family-style. Whether you're stopping by for freshly steamed dim sum or gathering the family for a proper Cantonese feast, Dim Sum Palace delivers. The variety, freshness, and banquet-style dishes make it a great place to celebrate special occasions or simply enjoy a delicious meal together. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Cantonese food in NYC!

Dim Sum Palace -- Always a Popular Spot!…read more I always enjoy the food at Dim Sum Palace! We ordered a variety of dim sum appetizers, along with pad Thai and Chinese vegetables. It's always fun to share a variety of dishes and get to try a little bit of everything. The one hiccup was that our shrimp dumplings never arrived, so we had them removed from the check. Aside from that, we enjoyed our meal. One thing I've noticed is that this place is ALWAYS crowded, no matter what time you go! Clearly, it's a popular spot. I keep coming back because I enjoy the food, and it's a great option when you're in the mood for dim sum and Chinese favorites. It's on Division Street just off the Bowery!

There were around 100 of us sitting around large round tables with the inevitable lazy Susan in the center as the food fest began. On and on these delicious dishes were served to us. The attentive waiters walked to each table and with incredible precision worked the large utensils dishing out food to each plate. Each menu item was more delicious than the other. I asked the people at the table what was their favorite and most couldn't pick one dish. Most said "I liked them all!' I have to admit that the fish fillet was mine. One woman enjoyed the shrimp dish the best. The restaurant is very large. It was filled to capacity on the evening we were there indicating just how good the food and service is. You won't be disappointed.

That could've been because of a mix of reasons (nor'easter, late arrival, small party, holiday, etc.). I think they trend on social media, so you'll see a mix of people dining. One of my favorite places because it's close, they have chrysanthemum tea, which I feel many places don't have anymore, they serve my favorite variation of the chive dumpling, they have a lot of newer or unique dishes, + they're on the cheaper end. They're also open for dinner + have a few good dishes on that menu too. *recommended What I Ordered: - chrysanthemum tea*: light, sweet, approachable + refreshing - chive dumplings*: comes in many variations, this place is pan fried with a wonton skin- my fav! - pork dumpling (siu mai): a classic, more meaty here + no(?) shrimp mixed in, not my fav version - shrimp ball w mushroom: new dish (for me), very soft + airy - fried shrimp in red rice roll*: also a unique dish, crispy + soft, so good when it's fresh! - custard bun: cute pig decor, my fav filling for a bun, sweet but not too much - turnip cake: not good, too doughy + the oyster sauce is too salty - shrimp stuffed eggplant: same shrimp mix as the balls?, too oily - egg custard bread bowl: new dish (for me), lightly sweet filling w sesame aroma, I didn't care for the bread

Note: This is a less detailed review than normal, as we ordered a ton of food from the AYCE menu,…read moreas can be seen from the photos Anyway, I've been back to this tasty Chinese place twice since my first review, with the second one being a very similar meal. The most recent time, I was here for their dim sum brunch, which is either $36 for AYCE plus $2 for tea, or they price each thing individually. It was a bit annoying that the tea was not included, but at least both the Oolong and Chrysanthemum teas were good quality and readily filled. Service in general was pretty fast and frequently checked on our large semi- private table to see if we needed anything else to order or more tea. The dim sum selection is a bit smaller than many of the traditional dim sum spots, but the overall quality was excellent, with a couple of definite highlights and some more unique dishes such as dumplings with pickled shrimp, crawfish, or Taizhou rice along with Ningbo wontons. In general, I would say that the wrappers were properly thin and everything was filled generously. The aforementioned Pickled Pepper Shrimp Dumplings were one of the highlights. The slightly spicy and sour pickles made it taste very light and paired nicely with the plump shrimp. In terms of other shrimp dim sum, their version of Har Gow/Crystal Shrimp Dumplings included a little bit of sweet crab for an extra touch. It was also tasty. I also liked the Ningbo wontons, filled with a variety of ingredients including minced pork, dried shrimp, yard long beans, pickled vegetables, bamboo shoots, and others. It had a wonderful mix of textures with some interesting crunchy notes. Another unique option mentioned is their Crawfish Dumplings, which are very noticeable compared to the other dumplings due to their bright red color. I appreciated the spiciness but found these a tad fishy with a thicker wrapper than most, but others loved these and ordered more. For more standard dumplings, their Xiao Long Bao/XLB were pretty good, and they had a tasty version of Sticky Rice Pork Siu Mai. The Baked Pork Buns were good as they were not too sticky sweet. Finally, there was a decent version of Pork Dumplings in Chili Oil. Non-dumpling highlights included their excellent turnip cakes along with steamed spare ribs, chicken feet, and a particularly tasty version of steamed beef tripe with satay sauce. I would skip the Beef Short Ribs With Black Pepper, which had good flavor but was way too chewy. I know someone else ordered the spring rolls, but I don't remember trying them. They also apparently now have a Ningbo speciality called Shi Bing Tong, but I don't remember ordering it. Someone else got their simple and tasty porridge/congee, only available traditionally with pork and century eggs, and enjoyed it. I tried a bit, and it was indeed good. Desserts included a tasty Crispy Durian Pastry, alright Sesame Balls, a good Pineapple Bun/Bolo Bao, and Custard Buns, which everyone loved, but they had a cuttlefish ink shine, so I couldn't try them. This is a fantastic, reasonably priced AYCE Dim Sum. Would recommend it if they still offer this deal.

Soup dumplings are her specialty, and living in North Jersey, we've had our fair share of some really good ones. We were downtown in the city this past Sunday and decided to check out Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings on St. Marks. As we were walking in, another customer was heading out and enthusiastically blurted, "This place SLAPS!" Well, that definitely set the bar pretty high. Turns out, he wasn't lying. THIS PLACE SLAPS! We started with two orders of soup dumplings, one with crab and one without. Both were fantastic. Hot, juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great soup dumpling. The Dumpling Gang representative at our table definitely approved. Next up was the house fried rice and pan fried noodles with chicken. Both were delicious and rounded out the meal perfectly. Pair everything with a couple of cold Asian beers and you've got yourself one seriously satisfying Sunday meal. Beyond the food, the wait staff was awesome. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming without hovering. The restaurant itself has a comfortable, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to hang out and keep ordering. Great dumplings, great food, cold beers, excellent service, and a cool atmosphere. What more do you need? The Dumpling Gang gives Nan Xiang St. Marks its official stamp of approval. We loved it and will absolutely be back!

While waiting to be seated we noticed all the accolades on the wall. The first time we went there was so satisfying we've been back multiple times and ordered an assortment of items off the menu. The veggie fried rice, beef scallion pan cakes, soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, to name a few. All were very tasty. The service was good and fairly standard. The ambiance was festive with Halloween. Nan Xiang is by far the best late night food option in Manhattan as it is open until 2am. Pretty much unheard of in this version of New York City. Almost like a throwback to a prepandemic time when lots of great places were open late.

On the night of the wedding, the food was absolutely delicious and just kept coming. They worked hard to make sure to follow a good serving structure while allowing us time to have speeches completed and everyone else we needed, etc. Everything was absolutely delicious and we received so many compliments from our guests. The restaurant itself has its own sound system and DJ booth, making it easy to transition to different event needs.

Some things are definitely better than others. BUT - after going a few times, I really think this place is a case of learning the menu and playing to its strengths. Once you know whats worth it and whats just ok, you can put together a genuinely great meal here. This time around, the star of the show was the Chef's Choice jiaozi which gives you one of each dumpling they offer. That was a GREAT move. They were colorful, satisfying, and even better with a side of the spicy chili sauce which I highly recommend adding. I also want to give credit where it's due: the soup dumplings here are delicious, and I have also really enjoyed the fried rice and the spicy noodle dishes on past visits. So yeah, I get the mixed reputation....But I think Mr Bao is one of those spots that rewards a little menu knowledge. Order smart, skip the mid stuff, and there is a very solid meal waiting for you.
