This spot has great food and great service. Not too loud. Well priced. Will go again!!

I generally gravitate to Chinatown-type restaurants, but with InKind credits to redeem, we ended up at Tri Dim Shanghai. And I'm glad. We'll certainly return! Shredded crispy duck is lean, crisp (living up to its name) and in my estimation, perfect! A half order is $33 and comes with crepes and what I guess is thin-cut celery and hoisin sauce. Our other two dishes merit maybe four stars. I had high hopes for prawns with black bean sauce and minced pork, but there was little pork and the dish was under-seasoned. Beaten egg white, a component of the sauce, was almost raw and when separated from the black beans, runny and unappealing. When I inquired about 'vegetarian delight,' our server suggested creating our own dish. Four sautéed vegetables for $16. I went with bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms and fried tofu. I asked for a flavorful sauce. I believe we got garlic, but it was too subtle, not garlicky enough.. Service is on-the-ball. Ambience is lovely. And Saturday night, hours before the dreaded snowstorm, the restaurant was busy. Reservations recommended. read more

My first time here and I'm glad I came. It was lunch on a Sunday so it wasn't busy when we arrived but it was definitely busy by the time we were done. Plenty of seating and the bigger tables for larger groups are in the back. There's a nice bar as well. Authentic Chinese dishes as well as dim sum. All the dishes were delicious that we tried. They also had an option of choosing your own protein or veggies and your choice of sauces as well. That worked out well for the younger one with us. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Love love the food ! The crispy rice soup and design your entree are always terrific ! The service is always excellent Its my fav restaurant on the upper eastside read more

Good authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. Location is also convenient . Service was attentive and food arrived fairly promptly.

Man I think I made a mistake last night. To be fair the Chinese food on upper east side isn't really good excluding the now closed Phillipe Chow. I ordered general taos and fried rice it was fresh for sure but no flavor chicken tasted watery. The rice had tomato's lol what happened to peppers? Idk man waste of 50 cash. I didn't feel bad after I ate it though so it def doesn't have msg ha ha read more

Take out order of sesame noodles (nothing special, swimming in watery sauce) and a very expensive ($38) short rib order that was nearly inedible. Ribs were a mix of fat, sinew, and tough, gristly, overcooked ribs - worst short ribs i've ever had. Will never order from here again. read more

Dinner with friend and family on a Sunday night - 10 people in all. Reservation honored, seated promptly. Efficient service, very business--like, seemed a bit more patient with the ordering process at times. Great food! Everything we ordered was delicious. Egg drop and wanton soup, duck egg rolls, spare ribs, various dumplings, two shrimp dishes, two beef dishes, pea shoots, Peking duck, and more. Comfortable venue. I thought the prices were reasonable for upper east side. Worth trying. read more

Rude on the phone! I called to ask a simple question about delivery, and the lady I spoke to was "snotty." I wanted to smack her with a sock of manure. Uncalled for. She's there to answer the phones and why an attitude? Ridiculous. Even with good food, I'll never order from here again. Hospitality is everything. read more

Unfortunately not the best experience. Although food is pretty tasty , some dishes arrived cold and not at the same time for the whole party to enjoy it together. Rude service and very unpleasant waiters . Nice decor but the whole evening was ruined . read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for several years now and unfortunately it has changed a lot and not for better . Food is still good but service is very rude and less than acceptable. On several occasions in the last few months we had a really bad experience with service. Rude waiters , not willing to accommodate your standard requests ( like bringing appetizers all together for each guest. We were party of 3 and other 2 people had to wait 15 min or so to get their appetizers so one person for being polite and waiting for other people food to show up ended up eating cold food) few items on the wine menu was not available and waiter pushed other higher priced items . No one poured our wine , we had to do it ourselves, also water glasses not being refilled . When check came and we did not wanted to leave gratuity for the lack of decent service, our water demented a tip and was really forceful and very rude about it ) it's a shame ! It was a really good restaurant and I am not sure what happened to it . Food however is still good and if it was served on time not cold , that would have been even better. Lovely ambiance. After dining here several times we won't be coming back . read more

Service was spotty and uncoordinated with a lack of team support. Ordered drinks were late and incorrect and had to be done again. Menu was confusing and not easy to understand and had to be explained to many of us. Guest was injured with a piece of glass on the floor went through his sneaker and little complementary food or drink was offered. Blood was in his foot and all over his sock. The manager said he was "sorry" ... that's all! Better places in the City as food was inconsistent and salty. read more

The restaurant is nicely decorated but the food was only middling. I detected too much msg.

Their lunch special is spectacular for 1295 or 1395. You can get a spring roll or soup and an entrée with rice. I honestly had to bring home half of my entrée back because I couldn't finish it! read more

Tri dim is my go to Chinese restaurant on the UES. The service is excellent and the food always great as well. We have tried many dishes and all of them have been excellent so it's hard to pick a favorite! We've had the pork soup dumplings, hot and sour soup, egg roll, thick noodles, chicken with broccoli, sesame chicken, eggplant in garlic sauce and shredded beef with chili pepper. I can't wait to come back to try more! read more

REALLY bland food. Like they cooked their dishes in water....especially the vegetable dishes. I'll never order them again. They should do better at those prices! Best thing is their delivery service is very fast and the food arrives quite hot. read more

Was in the area and glad to find a well-rated Chinese restaurant. Service was prompt, and the food was delicious. I was impressed by how thin the soup dumpling dough was - it was so delicate that a tiny pinch would reveal the juicy meat. Check in on Yelp provided complimentary chicken dumplings (4), Yelpie!! We also ordered the crispy duck rolls, which combined my two favorite things in one - duck meat and spring rolls. For the entree, we opted to share a portion of the scallion beef dish. The flavor was spot on, and the portion was perfect for 2. read more

Always the best Chinese food in the UWS. This time we enjoyed. The lobster Cantonese which was delicious. Always like the chose your own vegetable I fresh garlic. What a great addition to any meal. Their hot and sour soup is perfection and my wife always enjoyed the crispy rice soup. The service has always been quick and efficient and the management is very friendly. read more

Very friendly staff. Highly professional service. Pleasant decor and spacious seating. A wide variety of dishes we ordered were all well prepared, elegantly served and most tasteful. High quality dim sum and well balanced main dishes. (The fine array of single malt Scotches was very fairly priced and added immeasurably to the pleasure of the evening !!!) The Tsingtao was cold and delightful. Overall pricing very reasonable. The only disappointment of the evening was having to leave with so many dishes yet to be tasted....... What a pleasure! read more

The soup dumplings are a bit on the large size but delicious. All the dim sum is wonderful. Peking duck is a must try. Last time there my wife and I had the crispy fish filets with black bean sauce and the snow pea leaves. It was all excellent. The wait staff is highly professional and the ambiance pleasant. Definitely recommend. read more

First time dining here, and it was pretty good! We were the first to sit down for lunch at noon, and the restaurant offered a decent-sized menu with plenty of options as I was in the mood for dim sum but my boyfriend wanted Chinese dishes. For appetizers, we ordered dim sum, starting with the steamed BBQ pork buns - they were huge and a favorite. The chicken dumplings in chili sauce were another hit, and the turnip cakes rounded out our dim sum selections nicely. For our main course, we had pork fried rice, shredded beef, and a custom-made dish of chicken with bok choy, beans, mushrooms, and cabbage. There was a slight mix-up with the shredded beef - we were initially given pork, which was actually tastier than the beef. Despite this, all the food was delicious. The only downside was the timing of the dishes. The chicken dish came out first, followed by the dim sum, and then, after a while, the shredded beef and fried rice. However, the service was attentive, and our glasses were always filled with water. The restaurant was clean, and the overall experience was positive. We'll definitely be back for those BBQ pork buns and chicken dumplings! read more

Looking for dumplings of on the ues, tri dim Shanghai provides a tasty answer. Fried pork dumplings, pork soup dumplings and steamed shrimp dumplings - all good - the soup dumplings had a slightly sweet broth inside. Major faux pas, the waiter who kindly served the first soup dumpling broke one. I had green beans and crispy beef, as well - the crispy beef was a bit sweet and sauce forward; the green beans were good but could have used a bit of a chili crisp kick. Nice setting, aggressive water service. Overall good. read more

Great menu and tasty food in a pleasant dining room. Great service! The wine was also very good. Next we will try the Shanghai Margaritas

I have frequented this establishment several times over the last 2 years. Each time the experience worsens. The staff is very arrogant and not friendly at all. The food is mostly frozen the the Duck is quite FOUL-TASTING / GAMEY. Nothing tastes fresh and the cooking oil is rancid. It is a shame as the room is somewhat nice. This establishment is doing 80% takeout theses days; the restaurant goers are more of a nuisance. The expectation for any gratuity is quite obnoxious and shameful from the staff- There are plenty of Asian establishments that serve better food and have a deeper appreciation for the guest. read more

Service was good. Restaurant decor is nice. The website says they will only take reservations, but it looked like walk ins were welcome. We ordered the shrimp dumplings, Pork dumplings, sticky rice, and jelly fish. The dumplings and rice were good. The jelly fish seemed a little watery. Otherwise a good choice read more
