I've been here for dim sum and dinner. Both options are delicious! There may be a language barrier but I've never had an issue. The service is quick and the prices are on par with the prices in Brooklyn. Some of my favorite dim sum dishes include shu mai, steamed shrimp roll, egg plant, and chicken feet. The ambiance is casual. read more

We had to pivot to different dinner plans as our original plans for the day fell through and we needed to grab something quick. We found this restaurant and it was absolutely the right call. We came in for dinner around 7 pm and it was somewhat full, but they still sat us right away. We ordered exclusively from the dim sum menu (though the main menu also looked good). We went with the shrimp hargaw, turnip cakes, shrimp and leeks dumplings, the sweet piggy custard buns and the fish mango pudding. Of the items we got I enjoyed the shrimp and leek dumplings the most, whilst the turnip cake and the jello mango pudding shaped like a fish were my least favorite. But the shrimp and leek dumplings with a bit of chili crisp oil was perfect. And the cute piggy themed custard buns were also a perfect sweet ending. I definitely would be interested in coming back to try items off of the main menu. read more

terrible!! men smoking in the kitchen as they cooked your food. entire place smelled like cigarette smoke. $22 order of sesame chicken did not come with rice $2 up charge for tiny bowl of white rice. dumpling was delicious but no dumpling sauce. soy sauce only. the waiter was not friendly very impatient. when I complained to hostess about smoke she ignored me so I asked if she heard me she said "I hear you" and looked away!!!!! what an awful experience I wish I could give zero stars read more

Service was a little poor considering the chaos and unorganized host stand. The people are trying their best. But there's no indication of a wait, you just stand around the front desk until you make eye contact with someone and you tell them how many in your party. Um, i liked the chicken feet its star anise and good flavored, the custard bun was cute. And the spare ribs were yummy. Also the egg tarts were cute and flakey. read more

We stopped by here because we were in the area and were looking to get some dinner . The place was packed and looked interesting so we decided to give it a try ! I have never had dim sum before and this was an experience . They have servers with carts coming around with already made food and you pick which you like . The lady at the cart kept suggesting certain things and we got lots of different types of food . She was very excited and friendly and I kept trying so much from the carts I actually completely ignored the menu! So there are carts that go around and menus I think the carts are appetizers I just ate so much that I got very full ! It was a great experience our table had a huge rotating plate and we all shared with one another ! They also serve really good jasmine tea , the place was authentic and a very popular spot and I can see why . The spot itself is casual and cozy it's all about the food though ! Their dumplings are fresh and I loved the desert especially the mango pudding ( which is shaped like a salmon and jiggles ) a must try if you're in the area ! read more

Pure amazing to taste dimsum worth to eat Most of the dimsum has the same taste in bk and queens read more

The place is very clean with many tables for seating. The servers were very attendative leading me to my tables immediately, they were quick in taking my order. The food came out fast with the quality being great for its price. 10/10, great place to vist. Althought this hasnt happened to me since im a reqular now, the place seemed to overcharge and add extra items to the bill. So be cautious of what your paying for. read more

The dim sum rivals that of the finest Manhattan Chinese dim sum restaurants. No need to travel to the city

I came here on a Sunday around 12pm and was seated within 5 minutes of waiting. We enjoyed the dimsum here, from the fried crueller rice rolls and salted egg yolk buns to the durian mochi. The ladies pushing the dimsum carts were really nice, more than I'm used to at other dimsum spots haha! I also like how the tables were spaced out and not on top of each other. It's one of the few dimsum spots in the area but I would come back. read more

The food here is pretty good. They have everything coming out fresh during their damn sometime on the weekends but you should come here pretty early. If you want to snag a pretty good table they do get a lot of traffic and a lot of visitors but it's definitely worth going here if you're in the area and want some dim sum! read more

Din sum is very good, prices are affordable, service is prompt. Atmosphere needs some work.

Precious Island Dim Sum is a great place. I have been a customer for years and was happy there was finally a dim sum place close to my home in Staten Island. The dim sum here is truly comparable to the ones in 8th ave Brooklyn and Chinatown Manhattan. The price is fair, service is great/friendly/quick, food is fresh, tasty and has all of my favorites (wu gok, zhaliang, char siu so)! Definitely the go-to spot on the island for some REAL Cantonese Chinese food! I also love the cute dim sum desserts too like the mango fish and piggy buns. read more

Always been a fan of this restaurant, especially for quality Chinese food on the island (which is extremely hard to come by). My family and I have dined here a handful of times. We had dim sum as well and it was on par compared to other places we have been to. This place serves authentic Chinese dishes and the portions are pretty generous. Dishes are always flavorful and cooked well. Service is good, typical. Nothing extraordinary but gets the job done. My only critique would be I wish their bathrooms were heated because they get pretty cold! In all, this place is definitely a go-to if I'm craving Chinese food and I would recommend to others. read more

My family and I come here a lot since its one of the few authentic Cantonese restaurants on the island. I've only been here for dinner but my parents come for the dimsum and love it. The food is pretty cheap and rivals the places in 8th Ave. My go tos for dinner are the honey walnut shrimp, lobster lo mein, and egg tofu with veggies. For special occasions we also order the Peking duck, which is cheaper than from the other boroughs. Would highly recommend read more

Great dim sum: scallop, shrimp and snow peas sprout dumplings are excellent. The snow peas sprouts are market price, $18.95 right now, but totally worth it: fresh, crisp with lots of garlic. Also tried the seafood pan fried noodles, but too many pieces of squid, only two shrimps. The mango pudding is shaped like a fish and so cute! read more

Precious Island Dim Sum - Tea - Cantonese Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Open for takeout! Our local small businesses need our support more than ever during these times! The front of the restaurant appears to be closed when you drive by- but they are pleasantly open for takeout. Pull into their parking lot and you will see the side door where you can go pick up your order. Keep in mind the usual full menu items may not all be available but I recommend calling and asking. The food is delicious as always. Thanks for the great service. read more

Have been here a few times for both dim sum and dinner. Best Chinese food on Staten Island! Comparable to Brooklyn and Manhattan Chinatowns without the trip and tolls! You can even order dim sum at dinner! Only drawback is the small parking lot. Get there early or park on the street. read more

Great food busy place Not enough space for parking Its always packed Dim sum carts are hot & fresh They satisfy my big appetite always! my husband & I love going there read more

We didn't mean to order a lot of food, but we didn't expect the portion sizes to be so generous! We ordered: Soup dumplings, rice noodle with spare ribs, rice noodles and shrimp, taro root dumpling, congee, glutinous rice with meat, tripe, meatball, dessert piggy bun with milk custard. We really really though the portions would be smaller, so we ended up taking a good amount home. One thing I want to note-the service was excellent! We were there at 2pm, so after the lunch rush. They were very quick to clear our plates and really friendly. I'm still full and will likely eat tomorrow! read more

The most authentic dim sum experience in Staten Island! Attractive prices, great food, awesome service (carts), great location right on Hylan & New Dorp! Only tricky part is parking when that lot fills up! Food - its pretty much the same stuff you get in every bigger dim sum joint in Brooklyn/Manhattan/Queens, and its on carts!! Save yourself a trip outside the borough, this place has great dim sum! I am guessing the team that runs this establishment has a van that picks up their staff in Brooklyn every morning, and they buy their stuff from the same as exact distributors across the bridge. The food is as good or better than most dim sum joints you'll enjoy outside the island, and you get to enjoy this quality without paying toll & also enjoying bathrooms that don't have huge puddles of urine. read more

Precious Island Dim Sum - Best asian desert in the island period. - Cantonese Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I'm so psyched that this restaurant exists in the lovely little forgotten borough of Staten Island. The Island is painfully lacking in ethnic food variety... a quick look at Grubhub or Seamless and you'll see the sad offerings of ~85% Italian/pizzerias, 10% take out grade sushi/Chinese food, and 5% other. It's truly a sad state of affairs. So when I heard that a new legit Chinese dim sum place had opened up here, I was majorly skeptical. It was only after I had heard from multiple friends that this place was good did I dare try it. I'm so glad I did! I've come here twice now, once on a busy Saturday morning and another for a quieter but not dead quiet Sunday evening. I was pretty impressed with the dim sum here! It's not mind blowing amazing or the best you'll ever have, but it's definitely still good. The roast pork pastries are bomb! I also tried this black sesame bun that was presented so pretty, prettiest dim sum bun I've ever had (I'm a sucker for gold)- and it was yummy too. I haven't tried all the standard dim sum dishes here yet but I definitely will again soon. The dinner entrees we had outside of the dim sum menu were okay, nothing to write home about but not terrible either. What I like the MOST about this place though is the exceptional service. Every server was so friendly on both occasions here! They were also just quick and efficient, like with clearing plates and getting you the dishes you want. Overall, I'm really happy with this place! I do so hope that they do well and succeed here... it would be such a tragedy to see them go. read more

To go dim sum place in Staten Island. On weekdays, your order for dim sum is placed through checking off items on the menu. While dim sum on the weekends is more authentic with food severing from the cart. If certain food aren't out or on a cart, servers can grab them for you if available. My all-time favorite is the mango pudding and egg tarts. The mango pudding is incredibly well detail and shaped like a fish. Also Instagramable! The mango pudding isn't too sweet and a light refreshment from the savory dim sum dishes. The egg tarts are best eaten warm and hot! The egg custard part isn't too sweet while the pastries aren't too flake. In the pastries, you are able to see layers. The servers here are super nice and helpful. The restaurant has plenty of seating and consists of two levels. The bathroom is located in the back of the restaurants. read more

Calling this place for a delivery is no help. Guy on phone said there was no delivery, then said there was a minimum ($15) I proceed to order almost $30 for food. Restaurant said it's $50 5-0 minimum. I don't understand why there is no desire for this place to grow and list on door dash, uber eats, grub hub, etc. Who ever manages the phone at this restaurant, needs to be a bit more nicer on the phone. read more
