Super Har Gow Dim Sum
Farah K.

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.

Chicken Feet with Pumpkin in Chu-Hou Sauce , Bean Curd Sheet Roll with Shrimp & Pork in Abalone Sauce, steam seafood, Siu Mai with shrimp.

The food quality still maintained since I went there from grand opening and in between my visit to my brother. More variety now.

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.

Food was excellent. Service was awesome. We will come back soon. Ambience was ok. When we came, the place was empty. Folks already came, that was around 4pm. So its best to come around that time.

More desert dim sum

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 !

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.

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.

The staff there is friendly and quiet. The overall dim sum brunch food is 4 out of 5. The only thing I was disappointed the spare ribs with taro in black bean sauce. There was no taro inside the dish.

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

Is dim sum available at dinner time?

We also serve dim sum at dinner time, but some of them are not available after 4:00pm .

Is outdoor dining still available?

When we went there in August 2021 the outdoor seating was closed but they did seem to keep the customers seated at indoor tables reasonably far apart from others.

Are they closed due to COVID right now?

take out only right now! search our Precious Island dim sum @ Facebook , new menu upload already , thx

Do they do takeout for dim sum items?

Had an absolutely wonderful time here for my birthday!…read more The ambiance and decor is a 10/10. It's like being whisked away to a beautiful Polynesian island. Service was very friendly. They didn't flip out when I was running late (I'm still so sorry about that). And on top of being ok with us bringing a cake, they happily offered to bring it out with a candle and song, and offered to cut and serve it for us. Five stars already for that alone! Drinks were delicious and the food was such a delight. Crunchy chips were at the table with a delicious sweet dipping sauce to start. I ordered the Polynesian Coconut Chicken which was so good and quite sweet- of course due to the lychee, pineapple and cherries. Also ordered the steamed vegetable dumplings, which were tasty. After dinner, my friends and I then headed to their bar where they happily served us until nearly closing. They never once tried to push us out or point out the time. They made my birthday one to remember and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. I so wish I lived closer!

Gosh, I still really love this place! If you haven't grown up with your family or parents having…read moredragged you out to dinner at a place like this, you wouldn't understand. This place is so nostalgic just for the decor alone, it makes me long for the good old days! This is as American as Chinese food can get, so if you're looking for authentic Chinese food, you need to go elsewhere. This place has big portions, great service, and caters to a more American dining experience with big tables for parties or even reunions. Non-negotiable items I have to get every time I'm here: - egg rolls - big and crispy - wonton egg drop mixed - the pieces of pork are HUGE - orange chicken - perfect white chicken meat every time! - chicken and broccoli - tried and true We usually come around 5PM on a Saturday to beat the rush and it works out perfectly that we don't need to make any reservations.
