There are 8 different food stalls inside Mott Street Eatery, each serving different regional Chinese dishes. I was pretty surprised to find fresh, handmade dim sum here, and the best part is you don't have to tip like you normally would at dim sum spots. They also have SUPER affordable roast meat over rice (燒味飯), starting at just $8 for one topping, two for $9, three for $10, and four toppings for just $12. And I always have to stop by Yan Wo Dou Bun (人和豆品) for their tofu pudding too. ＊Roast Duck 燒鴨, Soy Sauce Chicken 豉油雞, Roast Pork 燒肉 Both the duck and chicken had that glossy, shiny skin, caramelized to a reddish-brown color. They were a little more bone-in than I'd prefer, but the meat itself stayed tender (even the chicken breast!). The roast pork belly was my favorite of the three. It wasn't overly salty like a lot of the roast pork I've had around Chinatown, and I loved the crispy skin and lean-to-fat ratio. ＊Sampen Congee 艇仔粥 $8 + Youtiao 油條 $2 This one hit so hard on a rainy day. 艇仔粥 is always my go-to when I don't know what to order since you get a little bit of everything. They really loaded this one up with thick-cut fish fillet (LOVE), squid, pork strips, and youtiao slices. I also ordered a fresh youtiao on the side, and it was GINORMOUS. Dipping crispy youtiao into hot congee is the GOAT. ＊Vegetable and Pork Bun 菜肉包 $5 ＊Deep Fried Taro Dumpling 芋角 $5 ＊Black Sesame Roll 芝麻卷 $4 The dim sum stall had the longest line when I was there! I only tried three items, and the steamed bao was my favorite. You can also grab their frozen dim sum to take home. The 芋角 had a lacy, crispy crust and stuffed with minced pork and smooth taro paste, while the black sesame roll wasn't quite nutty enough for me. read more

One of the oldest food court in Chinatown. There is a lot tourist trap but there's a few rare finds if you know what you're looking for. All the way the back on the right side. An old lady freshly make deep fried fish meat with 3 veggie. Eggplant, green pepper & tofu. This rare nowadays Also bei fang shaxi oil splashing noodle is excellent as well The only complain, it is dated read more

Great spot in Chinatown with lots of food options all in one place! We tried the handmade dim sum and the three-meat over rice, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The roasted meats were juicy, and the dim sum was especially good. I also love that it's a no-tipping restaurant. Definitely a nice casual spot to stop by when you're craving Cantonese food in Chinatown! read more

I got roast pork over rice ( $10 cash). It took 15 minutes to make and I didn't mind waiting. I ended up throwing it out because the meat looked old and I feel like they used old oil... Meat also looked dry. I was craving wah fung but they were closed that day, so I ventured off to find a different spot that had roast pork over rice. I will wait 30 minutes for wah fung because it is quality. read more

Went to Chinatown for the Chinese lunar parade, everywhere else is packed so we decided to try this dimsum banquet hall turned food court. We came around 3pm and we manage to snag 2 chairs. Saw a mix of older locals & tourists. The atmosphere is lively. We ordered dimsum & 3 meats over rice. Dimsum dishes was kinda okey. Find the chicken feet & ribs too soft for my liking. The siomai was good though. The rice with the 3 meats was cold. The hubby did'nt like the taiwanese pork chop soup. Too sweet! We'll probably give this spot another chance and will come earlier in the day. Will try the dessert / drinks next time too. Bathroom is for patrons only & make sure bring cash! read more

The food here probably gets between 3.5-4.5 stars for the flavor/quality/price ratio, though there are improvements to the seating, decor and overall cleanliness that could be made to better the overall experience. Though there's plenty of seating would suggest getting takeout from here due to above reasons. This location is in a former dimsum restaurant and they've basically kept the same layout and set up about 9-20 stalls along the left and right walls with a mishmash of tables in the center, some rectangular, square and circular, some with tablecloths others without, with varying degrees of cleanliness. I was looking for something light and tried the fish congee $8 from the Mott Street food stall that serves a variety of dimsum and southern Chinese dishes. Simple Chinese comfort food and ample protein pieces (I counted about 8-9 pieces of a white fish) for the price. Steaming hot, salty (in a good way, not overly), sprinkled with a few chopped scallions and cooked with slivers of ginger for a subtle zing. Need to be careful while eating as I found bone or two in a few pieces of the fish. If you eat there, expectation is to bus your own table and drop off the trash and trays at the front of the space. I didn't use the bathroom here though if the other reviews are accurate I'm not going to try if I come again either--seems like a big mistake to not take better care of these. read more

We never had a food court in Chinatown so I was curious about this place. It was nice to see different options available, however not everything was up to par. We got some dim sum, Kimbap, bubble tea, and takoyaki. The dim sum wasn't great, lack of flavor. The Kimbap and takoyaki I would get again. The lady at the kimbap stall was super nice and friendly. The place itself wasn't the greatest, it was super hot out that day and they just had gigantic fans facing different ways in each corner. The security guard was also lingering if you didn't order food. A lot of signs you cannot hang out there. We just ate as fast as we could and kept moving. read more

What was previously a banquet hall restaurant with dimsum, I think, much of the floor and upper seating stage still there noticably. Now, you'll find little shops for different tastes of Chinese cuisines are set up inside to try, from potato noodles to dumplings to dry hotpot dishes, the roast duck with rice, and a small drink/boba tea shop. Not all shops were open, a few under construction, and one door was blocked off as they were redoing the pavement. I'll have to try it once I have more time. Bus your own table. read more

Fell for yet again, another IG hype. First off, beware where you choose to sit. The only FREE seatings are the lunchroom style white tables and the first two round tables by the front door. You will be attacked by the tea patrol man advising you of a "tea fee" if you decide to sit elsewhere. It's a couple of bucks per person. Food was average. Service was close to none. A bit warm inside on a hot summer day. Would not recommend. read more

They have about 12 eateries here and you can't use the bathroom unless you buy something. It's immediately inviting bc there are many varieties of food like Korean Chinese Japanese and a cafe. The food was salty for Mott eastern Chinese food but the k kimbop was not salty and it was very good.. I would say this place needs a really good thorough cleaning because it doesn't smell clean and the inside was not air conditioned on June 7, 2025. So there was a stuffiness to their place and the table cloths attract dirt so it did not smell good at all. read more

This place was mentioned by a coworker so went with family. Food court style seemed good to me bec. of our different food preferences. Once there, we noticed a mish mash of tables, some even with tablecloth, in the middle of the room. Decided to get one first by standing over other customers which I don't usually like to do but needed to. Be ready to share a table too. Seemed like some patrons linger around chatting. The food stalls are on 2 opposite sides. There is a variety- some food were unfamiliar to us but at least had photos, some items had no description or only in Chinese. Not a lot that really caught our attention but we settled on 3 places; for 2 of them, we were given pagers when ready for pick-up: Dimsum - dimsum beancurd with meat and mushroom, the steamed cake roll; peking duck buns 3/$4. Saw chicken feet still with nails. Sanmiwago - crispy bottom potstickers looked and tasted good; took at least 20 min. Authentic Xian Flavors - stewed pork burgers were ok'd by my family; Qishan pork noodle soup - hint of sour, tasted like I added dark vinegar already; not a lot of protein. Lower rating bec. of the ladies' restroom. There were signs saying "no public restrooms" by the far end so was relieved when my husband saw a sign, near some stairs, so I went. The condition was bad - no soap, no toilet paper, dirty, the smell, wet floors. The guys said their restroom was not clean as well, no soap. What do the employees do after they use the restroom? read more

Was trying to find a casual lunch spot in Chinatown and decided to check out one of the food courts there. The booth that I went to had a good variety of options. There were dim sum and roast and BBQ meats. So you are bound to find Cantonese food that you like! The food court was packed with people. I almost couldn't find a seat! (Also a good chunk of the patrons were older, so you know it's a popular spot amongst the tough critics - Asian parents and their parents-) This time I ordered the 2 meats of my choice (crispy pork and duck) + rice + soup. Definitely swing by if you are in the area! read more

A hall consisting of small street-food vendors.

Honestly don't come here unless you are Chinese as you will be judged and stared at by all the people in there.

This bustling food court is only a couple of years old, but if you told me it had been around since the old Bowery days with all the Tong gangs, I would've believed it. Looking like a well-used cafeteria in a Hong Kong shopping mall, it's on Mott Street just above Canal in Chinatown. I think there were ten separate stalls surrounding the crowded dining area. It was a bit of a struggle for Jamie W. and me to browse the selections as there were long lines for dim sum and various rice plates. I was immediately drawn to the Khao Mun Gai at Gai Kitchen where we were pleasantly surprised by the $5.99 small serving of Thai Style Chicken & Rice (photo: https://yelp.to/d-2yVxv0Xv). Such a good deal on a day in NYC when we knew we were gorging. We were lucky to snag an empty card table because local residents must have a timeshare on the regular dining tables. The food was quite a good deal with four succulent pieces of poached chicken over brown rice with their special brown sauce and celery slices. Just so you know, they have signs that say the bathrooms are not public, but nobody paid attention to the warning. Maybe it's part of the timeshare. FOOD - 4 stars...a good deal on the Khao Mun Gai AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...intensely busy and already a bit aged SERVICE - 3 stars...hardly any interaction TOTAL - 4 stars..solid chicken & rice for cheap RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

Monday morning in Chinatown, Manhattan with time to spare prior to a family member's doctor appointment this Mott Street Eatery (former tenant Grand Harmony), now a food court is open.

This Mott Street Eatery is relatively new and replaced the old restaurant, Grand Harmony. Cannot believe that happened because I used to love going to Grand Harmony. With Mott Street Eatery, there are many small local eats and one of my favorites is Stellar Chinese Cuisine. They have affordable noodle soups of pork and beef balls along with the noddles. The meat balls are very large in size. Noodles taste very good with the broth. They also have a drink menu and I got Jasmine milk tea, which I can taste the jasmine aroma. All their bags and utensils are branded with Stellar Chinese Cuisine. read more

Mott Street Eatery is a food hall with various (but mostly Chinese) Asian cuisines. They have bathrooms which I use in a bind. They aren't very clean and usually has no toilet paper but does the job. There is a dim sum stall here which is open early and has pretty good dim sum. The beef noodle roll has a good smooth texture and the meat is nicely flavored. The chicken feet is also pretty good and very tender. They're declawed and chopped in half, making it easier to eat. read more

This is fairly new food court that opened almost two years ago. I believe that the space it currently occupies used to be an old Chinese banquet hall. Therefore, the place does not look modern or new at all. It looks like they just gutted the inside and replaced it, meaning it fits it in well with the classic Chinatown look. In terms of the food court, it is an average one that combines the typical food you'd find in Chinatown into one space. Some of the stalls you'll find include the following - Hong Kong style snacks like scallion pancakes and grass jelly, Cantonese BBQ meats with rice, a dim sum stall, Taiwanese beef noodle soup and dumplings, and a dessert shop with boba. The only non-Chinese tall is the Japanese one. There is also a Thai-style Hainanese chicken tall, but Hainanese chicken is Chinese as well. None of the stalls are anything innovative. You can find all of this food all over Chinatown with better quality and better prices too. The only convenience as mentioned is having all these choices in one space. read more

Mott Street Eatery Review Let's be real--this place looks cracked down, inside and out. No fancy signage, no trendy vibes. But once you step in, it feels like a hidden Asian hawker center tucked away in the middle of Chinatown. And honestly? That's the charm. The food here is insanely cheap, surprisingly good, and most stalls now accept cards--a huge win in a neighborhood where cash is usually king. What makes it even better? You're not just getting great value--you're actually supporting real family-run businesses. And hey--corporate chains and social media spots aren't necessarily bad, but this place? It's different. It's special. It's raw, low-key, and full of heart. There's one roast pork stall in particular that deserves a shoutout. It doesn't just serve BBQ meats like roast pork, soy sauce chicken, and garlic chicken--it also has dim sum-style dishes like steamed buns and dumplings, the kind you usually only find at full-service dim sum restaurants. And if you're thinking "But Wah Fung though..."--yes, Wah Fung is good. But these days, the lines there are insane thanks to influencer hype. You can easily end up waiting 30+ minutes, which is rough if you're on a tight NYC schedule. Not to mention, the flavor profile is different. Wah Fung leans more American-style: sweet, heavy BBQ sauce, glazed roast pork. This stall goes for saltier, more traditional Cantonese flavors, with less sauce and more focus on the meat itself. No line. No fuss. Card accepted. Just solid food that hits different. Also worth checking out is a stall called Stellar Chinese Cuisine. I had the beef mushroom lo mein, and it was really good, home-style cooking--packed with a generous amount of meat for just 10 bucks. I was genuinely surprised by how much beef they gave me. Plus, the bean sprouts added a nice crispy crunch that balanced the dish perfectly. Definitely a hidden gem within the hidden gem. And don't miss the stall that serves savory Chinese crepes (煎饼果子)--they're not just tasty, they're hard to find in the U.S. These are the kind of street food snacks you usually only see back in China, and having them available here feels pretty special. It's crispy, flavorful, and super nostalgic if you've ever had one overseas. The food court itself has changed over time--some stalls have shut down, and not every business has been able to make it. And that's the thing: you never know when your favorite stalls might close, so come experience it while it's still here. That's part of what makes it feel so real and urgent--like you're catching a moment before it disappears. You'll find everything here: bubble tea, noodle soups, savory Chinese crepes (煎饼果子), and more. It's one of the few spots where you can try a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes all under one roof, without breaking the bank. No frills, no hype--just a true hidden gem. Try it once, and you'll get it. read more

At first sight, I was being judgmental and thinking it is a run downed unattended food court. It lacked decor and just looks plain disorganized. It was not until someone told me to give it a chance. So I said fine to just "see" how it is on the inside first and I really did not intend to stay. Not to say that I only dine in 5 star restaurants, but this was the last spot I'd want to try. Why? The outside was not too attractive. This was a previous huge dimsum/ banquet hall so we all remembered the good old days. Now they section every stall to serve different foods. Holy smokes!! The chicken spot was amazing. The chicken was fresh. It was also featured in random tik tok foodie videos for cheap eats. It came in a set and was well received. Meanwhile, the fresh soybean mill stand served grass jelly. The stuff was awesome!!!! I did not try the rest of the stalls but saw a lot of customers trying out different things. Kudos to a place like this that brings more diverse eats in this community. Please support your local businesses and vendors!! read more

One stop shop if you don't want to hustle and tussle around Chinatown. I am so grateful that this place has enough seating every time I come here to eat. The price is right on the majority of the stations so "Come On Down!". All I have to say is this food court has something for everyone like there is an a$$ for every seat. One more point to share, please share table space because it does build community and you never know who will sit next to you. Sharing is caring! read more

Mott Street Eatery - Filling and Affordable - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Came here early Sunday morning - plenty of seats to choose from when we came around 11am. This place is a food court with plenty of vendors to select from. I tried out 3, with Gai chicken being my fave. Decently priced and yummy. Their drinks are $3.5 each and the iced coffee was really good. I also enjoyed their spring rolls. It came out fresh from the fryer. The dimsum was hit and miss. There were fresh items and there were some that would have been nicer if it was warm. The only con here is there is no recycling at all and as you can see from the pictures, mostly everything was served in plastic containers. Made me felt guilty about ordering more. read more

Chinatown gets its own modern food court with the entrance of Mott Street Eatery, which promised to be a playground for gourmands. It touted local cuisine replete with a robot chef and a peculiar but interesting sounding pizza concept. With lots of empty stalls and a lack of variety in choices, Mott Street Eatery didn't exactly live up to the visions of dim sum and hand roll bliss I had imagined. You're much better off getting bites from any of the classic dim sum parlors in the neighborhood or even a Chinese bakery serving up these same dishes with more variety and flavor. Icook AI Kitchen, the business with the robot chef wasn't working during my visit, and very much seemed like a gimmick more than anything. "Burger Pizza" was the strange pizza concept that I stayed away from, instead opting for the most popular stand, which is the stall on the far left serving Cantonese classics like pork buns, dumplings, and rice noodle rolls. The food was fine but not worth waiting in line for. There's ample seating in the space but it's already such a popular destination that every seat is occupied on the weekends, when I'd typically find myself in the area. I'd consider returning to check out new concepts but for now am unimpressed. read more

So sad that this Dim Sum banquet hall closed! I think it was formerly Grand Harmony. But glad that the space has been reinvented to a Food Hall at least, providing small businesses the opportunity, with probably much cheaper rent than a solo space. There's lots of options here! Bubble Tea, taiwanese dumplings, Japanese and Sushi, Cantonese roast meats & rice, Stuffed Vegetable & Tofu fritters, Hainanese Poached Chicken (Thai-style), Congee, and Dim Sum! It's a little overwhelming to decide, but the foods that looked the best to me were the Taiwanese Dumpling stall & Dim Sum/ Congee stall. The roasted meat stall wouldn't sell me a 1/4 pound Crispy skin Roast Pork- only 1/2lb or more are available. If I got dumplings, I'd recommend the pan-seared Pork & Cabbage. But I ordered a Congee (chicken & thousand year egg)- which was steaming hot on a cold Winter day. Friend had never had the egg (the cut up pieces are like an over cooked boiled egg/mushroom texture, with a super creamy yolk) It wasn't bad, just okay. The rice part was cooked nicely. I would try a chicken, ginger, scallion, cilantro one next time. FYI- the hall has all disposable dishes & cutlery. For a small pint container to share the congee, the cashier made sure I knew it was an extra 25¢! LOL After waiting in line for what felt like 20 minutes, as the woman ahead of me bought literally 25 individual packages of Dim Sum to-go (Best office lunch party I hope!), I ordered: - Pan seared Chive & Shrimp Dumplings (the crimped yellow skin ones!) - Chicken Feet - Tofu skin rolls (pork, bamboo shoot filling) - Taro Puffs (they are Croquettes- mashed taro with sautéed minced pork, dried shrimp inside. The outside is lacy crispy fried from the taro starch!) RARE FIND! This item is special & unique! If it looks light, fresh & crispy - get it! I hope that they kept on the chefs that worked in the original dim sum hall, the quality was really good. They were making and putting them into small packages - about 4 dumplings each. If you don't mind a sort of pre-packaged Dim Sum experience. My one complaint is that the Dim Sum was just lukewarm. Maybe if I told them that I was dining in, they would have reheated them and served it to me on a plate? Maybe that was why the cashier look confused when I put them on the tray. I just assumed everything was in small packages for easy sales. I was there around 2 PM on a weekday, it was busy but wasn't chaotic. A lot of the tables were filled. Of course in the back where all school local elderly Chinese folks, chatting with their coffee & milk tea. And actually a lot more tourists & families than I expected. Not bad, tables had a pretty decent turnover and people were friendly. I think there's a bathroom in the back, which said that it was not open to customers, but I saw a line in the back anyway. read more

Appreciate that Chinatown having a food court but it was a dilemma if I should just go to a legit dim sum or roast port specialized spot or getting them here. The former would probably still be better but still worth a try. 3 Meat Platter - as typical when you get platter you get the worse cut. Charsue was good, roast duck was meh, roast pork was fatty. Vegetable was overcooked. Rice was the best thing. Tofu Skin wrapped dim sum - served lukewarm. read more
