    Came on a 10am on Sunday weekend after new years, the restaurant was perhaps 60% full and by the time we left was completely full. We were sat at a large round table with 2 older aged women who were having a great time sipping on tea and enjoying dim sum slowly. Wonderful to come to dim sum on a weekend without a wait and the food/pricing was on par with other dim sum restaurants as well. Service was prompt and they had carts rolling around with people frequently asking us if we wanted anything else. Would definitely come back if wanting dim sum in the city because it was more spacious than house of joy, less hectic, and more frequent carts.

    Dim Sum! This second floor dim sum house harkens back to the days of sharing large round tables with strangers (if you are a smaller group), ink stamped ledger of your plates, ladies pushing hot metal carts and very efficient, though less than cordial service. Many dim sum restaurants have transitioned from the hot metal carts and to order dim sum but it's always nice to see the tradition live on. It's all part of the old school experience! The food was great actually which is a big plus. All my favorites like spring rolls, crystal shrimp dumplings, pork shumai, were available and I couldn't say there was anything I wouldn't get again. I'd be back again soon for sure. Seng Seafood isn't a big place so be prepared to wait if you arrive later in the morning.

    Fun hectic dimsum spot with the push carts. Everything was pretty solid and they take off tax if you pay in cash.

    A decent spot to get dimsum. The seating was pretty quick even though it was so busy there. We did have the share the table with two other parties, but that was okay for the short wait. The dimsum was fresh and came out quickly. We didn't really have to wait a long time for anything. They refilled our tea quickly and I left with a full stomach. The price was reasonable and the service was quick and fast.

    Solid spot for Chinese new year! The courses was swell. The duck was nice and crispy and the lobster truly was great. Wonderful broccoli crunch, but the egg tart did not hit. Cheers!

    Had to do our annual dim sum feast before the Super Saturday parade. Seng Seafood restaurant is still our best dim sum spot in Chinatown, Manhattan. We got there 15 mins before they were officially opened, but they were super friendly and told us to wait upstairs instead and offered us hot tea, a table while we waited for our party to arrive. The best thing about dim sum is that it has so much to offer for people who are allergic to gluten, seafood, etc. The fact is there's ALWAYS something for everyone, which is the best way to enjoy it. Here's what we ordered. - 2x Shrimp Dumplings - Chicken feet - 2x Steam spare ribs - Beef Balls [lion heads] - 4x roasted pork pastries - Vegetarian Spring Rolls - 2x Cilantro Cheung fun - 2x Crispy vegetarian Cheung fun - 2x Mini sticky rice wrapped with bamboo leaves - 2x mini egg tarts - Chive dumplings - 5x sesame balls with black sesame filling - Custard pineapple buns - 2x roasted pork pineapple buns - Red Cheung fun wrapped with crispy shrimp inside of a fried dough. - 2x coconut pudding - 8x to refill our teapot Party of 8, and the bill came out to be 29.00 per person plus tips. Not bad at all for 8 people, 31 dishes. Seng Seafood restaurant 39 East Broadway 2nd floor

    I had heard from a Chinese friend of mine that this was their favorite dim sum place and that the rest of the Cantonese food here was also very good so a group and I went here. As per most of my other reviews, I went to this restaurant several months ago. The food was excellent being higher quality than most of the other Canto spots around here at reasonable prices and I would go back here both to try their dim sum and also to just go back and have more of their Cantonese options. The staff was the expected for Canto spots and the room was originally a bit loud as there was a wedding in their other hall (which is always a good sign for these spots) but eventually the other side quieted down and it wasn't super loud in there even though it was pretty crowded. First to arrive was probably the best dish of the night which was an excellent version of Prawns With Mayonnaise Sauce. The shrimp were large and hot with a good crisp but not too much batter and was as per usual, a bit sweet from the mayo. There was also broccoli as well as candied walnuts as per always. This is one of the best versions of this dish I've had and I would recommend it heavily. The Fried Flounder was probably the next best. Outside of the main fish, there were several pieces on top which was a nice touch as well as some type of veggie. The fish had a nice light fry which allowed us to taste the delicate fish flavor better. I would also recommend it to share. The Peking Pork Chop was also great with the sauce not being overly sweetened and not being too boney though I would say that it's a bit better at some other spots like Wu's Wonton King where the pork there by comparison has a better crisp and is a bit more tender. The Lamb Chops With Scallions were also pretty solid. The lamb was tender and tasty and lightly seasoned. The dish otherwise came with some bell peppers and onions with the onions being nicely cooked down it's a little bit of a bite. Also pretty good was the Salted Fish And Pork With Eggplant Casserole. The eggplant in there was particularly tasty though there could have been more of the salted fish. Also with said ingredient but a bit more was the Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice. The rice had good flavor and good chunks of protein and didn't feel like a throwaway compared to some other Canto spots and was a lot better than the version at Uncle Lou among other popular spots in the area. The other carb dish was the Singapore Mei Fun which they liked. I think I remember there being some pieces of squid in there if I recall correctly so I couldn't try it but others liked the curry powder flavor. The last remaining dish was the Bacon Sauteed With Cauliflower which was fine. I prefer cauliflower with other preserved meat over this dish but you tend to find that more in non-Canto spots. It was fine with a bit of smokiness from the bacon but perhaps a bit too much grease. The food here was tasty and I can see why they've been around since the early 2000s if not the late 90s. Reasonably priced tasty good Cantonese food and a whole lot easier to get into than the next comparable spots; Wu's Wonton or Uncle Lou. Would go back again.

    first dim sum meal in a very long time at seng seafood today. we'd been once or twice before and had really liked it (probably a 4 or 5 star review if i rated my other visits in prior years). their prices used to be the same for all dish sizes, and presumably is still the same. our bill came out to $55 before tip for 10 items (which fed 3 adults and 1 child and are definitely not all pictured here ... was too hungry). the bill did include two shrimp cheung fun (rice rolls) which are usually pretty pricey at your typical dim sum establishment. all dishes were delicious, but we were quite disappointed by how limited the selections were today (there seemed to be way more in our previous visits as well as what is listed on their website). not sure if it might have been because we were visiting a little later in the day by dim sum standards (~1:00 pm). there was also virtually no service provided (e.g., water was never refilled) but the cart ladies were really nice in trying to help find the dishes that we wanted. we had made a reservation over the phone, but it didn't seem like they understood once we arrived. thankfully, we didn't need to wait long as we were put at an eight-person table with another party of four. considering the clientele visiting, you know that the dim sum is authentic. certainly can't go wrong here with your basic dim sum selections, though may opt to go earlier next time to see if there are more options or visit another place for more variety.

    The booking doesn't mean much to this restaurant. Booked a table a week in advance, when arrived, was told the second floor was taken for party, and sent us down to the basement. After all that, the service and food were excellent.

Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

I was browsing for places with scallion pancakes and I came across this restaurant. I saw they had a scallion pancake beef rook which I'd never seen before. It was fried and crispy on the inside with tender beef on the inside, that was slightly savory slightly sweet. I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place. The outside is unassuming and nothing special but inside has the aesthetic of an old Shanghai restaurant. It's ornate and slightly quirky. It's also really big, bigger than I expected. Even the bathrooms had traditional Chinese flare with the sliding doors. Definitely worth checking out,

It's also nicely decorated, which makes you feel like you're in China. It's definitely for a younger crowd with how loud this place gets.

Some of the most memorable dishes were the Mapo Tofu ($13.99), Hutaoli Roast Chicken ($43 for whole), Spicy Pot Potato ($19), Roasted Green Beans ($22), etc. All of the food is good, but definitely pricey. While the food also came out quickly, our drinks came out towards the end of our meal. It's a good spot for big parties as it never got too busy even on a Saturday night. They also have private rooms. The live music was fun, but also made it hard to have conversation.
