LOVELY.
the perfect retreat from the summer heat. it was all smaller portions, so it's def a place to try a bunch of things (which is what i did) they did not disappoint. it was all very yummy. i got the congee, steamed pork and shrimp dumplings, sticky rice, spicy wontons, pan fried noodles, bbq pork buns, and pan fried chicken and ginger dumplings. i didn't try any of their drinks, unfortunately. my personal favorites were the bbq pork dumplings the pan fried noodles. don't get me wrong tho, every is worth trying. personally, i didn't mess with the congee or the shrimp dumplings, but to be perfectly candid, i don't like shrimp or oat meal (and congee has a watered down oatmeal ish texture) so that's prob why i didn't like it. if you're a congee and shrimp lover, you'll like it i promise. i went with my best friend and her mom, and her mom lived in china for school, and she highly recommend the congee here. "very authentic and nostalgic" she says! the menus were cool, instead of saying "hi waiter i would like X Y and Z" you just check off boxes on a piece of paper and they just take it. so not a lot of interaction with the workers if you're a person with social anxiety, this is really awesome. also, we did order one other thing but it never came, but we also ordered so many things so it wasn't the end of the world. if you're in the area, i would def recommend this place.
Be the first to ReplyThe worst service.
Made us wait for 30 mins with plenty of empty tables and took us off the wait list while we were a block away. The food is not even that good for the wait.
Be the first to ReplyBaos are delicious but not better than several restaurants
Baos are delicious but not better than several restaurants in Boston Chinatown. IMHO, it's good but not a Michelin level that I expected to be great. It's worth for the waiting time though. Restaurant decorations are kinda boring.

I had happened to be in the city early so I got there as it just opened on Sunday so there was no waiting! Yahoo! I went with my sister and we ordered 6 dim sum dishes. The absolute must get is the baked bbq pork buns. (B1) That's what ppl go there for and it is so worth it. Reminded me of when I ate it in Hong Kong and it was so so delicious. Soft bun and the bbq pork inside was hot and cooked perfectly. We also got steamed shrimp dumpling (har how) yummy! shrimp was fresh and no seafood smell. The steamed rice roll with minced beef was ok. Should've gotten the shrimp version. The steamed bean curd was so so. The pan fried turnip and shumai was also very good. It's pretty expensive for each dish but it comes to the table nice and hot. It was worth the money for good food and service. I wouldn't come here often because it is too expensive for dim sum but if you want to treat yourself, this is a great place to go.
Be the first to ReplyHeard this's authentic Hong Kong style dim sum place.
Tried few dishes and the foods just okay. Not many selection dishes on menu.
Be the first to ReplyLimited selection and way over priced.
Dumplings in SFO are less expensive. I expected better.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of a person who went to Tim Ho Wan in Asia, and so it's possible that I had expectations that were too high. This place was okay. The prices were okay. The taste of each dish was okay. The decor in this specific location felt like I was in a Café de Coral, which is... ok considering the other factors. But yeah. The original Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong was definitely more rundown, but it was rundown with an old school no nonsense charm that made the quality of their dim sum stand out harder. The new Tim Ho Wans across Singapore, Shanghai and more have fancied themselves up a bunch, and I think this NYC Tim Ho Wan takes from the same brand playbook. Except the service isn't as fancy as Shanghai/Singapore, the dim sum is much more basic than Shanghai/Singapore, and the prices are more expensive (which, I guess what are you going to do in NYC, right? I can't truly fault them for that.). That having been said, it was okay. If you're craving dim sum and you're in the East Village area, it's not like you're surrounded by a plethora of better options.
Be the first to ReplyTucked away under scaffolding and in the midst of busy LES
Tucked away under scaffolding and in the midst of busy LES is some of the best dim sum I've ever had - especially for the price! We ordered a plethora of dishes, all of which we were blown away by. The highlights for me were the pork noodles, baos, and crispy noodles. The only thing I could've done without were the taro cakes. Service was super speedy and on top of it all - we were seated so fast even with the long line. We also appreciated how quickly they took away our used plates given how much we ordered and how full our table was. Additionally, my friend thought it was such a cool place that he wanted to talk to the GM for a job application - and in meeting him, it felt like an even more personal and special experience after being told some history on the establishment. Ambiance - it's fun, it's dim sum, people are chatting, laughing, and stuffing their faces - and rightfully so!!! 10/10 would return.

Had a chance to eat here (and ordered through ubereats a bunch of times). Shumai (shrimp?) is my favorite dish along with their famous bbq pork bun. Restaurant service is pretty on par with dim sum restaurants (you have to flag everyone down) but that's normal. Their dishes are very ginger heavy- not a fan (meatballs, beef with rice) so unfortunately there's not much else I can eat. Pricing is average for NYC (meaning expensive everywhere else).
Be the first to ReplyI had to try this location as I have heard the Singapore
I had to try this location as I have heard the Singapore location had a Michelin star. I have never been to a Michelin star restaurant before and even though this location isn't Michelin star, I wanted to try it and compare it to the many many many dim sum restaurants I have been to in my life. Me and my friend purchase 1 bbq bun, 1 siu mai, 1 beef noodle roll, 1 shrimp noodle roll, 1 green tea sesame ball and 1 order of pan fried noodles. My favorite dim sum dish is usually the shrimp noodle roll and while I enjoyed the soft texture and the shrimp was decent, there was nothing about it that stood out and the flavor wasn't really there. The green tea sesame ball was nice and crispy and I was pleasantly surprised by it. The pan fried noodles was good but I think it was a tad bit pricey for not having any meat in it. The taste was fairly subtle and oily. The star was the baked bbq pork bun. I heard this is their specialty. The texture of the bun was nice and a bit flakey. It was a tad bit crispy as well. The meat was flavorful and was not as fatty as a lot of pork buns. I'd recommend this the most. Overall it's good but the price is also higher than other dim sum places with me and the one friend I went with spending over $25 per person. There are better locations in flushing for cheaper.
Be the first to ReplyYou'll be able to enjoy this better when you don't think of
You'll be able to enjoy this better when you don't think of this as a traditional dim sum place.They have a super small menu. The standouts include the BBQ pork buns, the sticky rice in lotus leaf, the turnip cake and, to our group's surprise, the steamed egg cake. We also liked their bean curd rolls and green tea sesame balls, but not so much the more traditional dim sum dishes, such as har gow, siu mai, and the various rice rolls -- we knew people don't think highly of those at this place, but still had to find out for ourselves.
Be the first to ReplyI was here when it first opened.
Everything was above standard, shy of exceptional. Sadly, this is no longer the case. I had spare ribs, chicken feet, bean curd stuffing, shrimp steam roll, and coconut cream with taro. Overall, I have to say it's pretty underwhelming. I could have the dim sums elsewhere with better quality. Gone was past excellence, once a prestigious restaurant now a run of mill franchise brand.
Be the first to ReplyWe had such a great late lunch at dim sum.
Their hot tea was outstanding.Spare ribs was solid! Delish.Their chicken pot stickers seriously hit it out of the park! We got two orders.Shrimp and chive dumplings were good. Sui mai was tasty.Mushroom dumpling was yum.The rice roll was great too.Pan fried noodles were kinda dry but super tasty, great texture.We also had some kind of taro coconut tapioca warm dessert.It was so awesome. Not sure why the location in SoCal (Irvine, CA is so bad).This is a mystery of life.I would want to return to NYC just to eat here!

Second time at Tim Ho Wan in NYC and it satisfied all the dumpling cravings. We loved getting the Siu Mai and Rice Rolls again, hence the already-eaten pieces in the photos. The place was packed but had no line on a Thursday evening. We put ourselves on the Yelp Waitlist on our way over, but were already first within 5 minutes.

Dim sum for dinner. Have your party there to b seated.

Super authentic, great service, just a great place! They bring your dish as soon as it is ready so they might be staggered a little. My friend and I went, we kept wanting to try different dishes we practically has constant food being placed and taken off the table. Definitely a must try!
Be the first to ReplyThe buns are what dreams are made of.
Worth the wait for a table! Service is fast and the milk tea coffee is a delight
Be the first to ReplyIt is simply beyond comprehension that this place does not
It is simply beyond comprehension that this place does not have 5 stars. There are so many things this place does right.As a favor to humanity, I'll list them.1- non-alcoholic drinks2- a wide variety of dishes in small sizes so you can taste many different things3- amazing rice noodles4- a menu you just check off what you want with a pencil, eliminating the need to talk to annoying humans or wait for your dining companion to spit out their order after you've been waiting 45 minutes5- Cleanliness6- Perfectly professional and kind waitstaff7- causal, no frill decor that doesn't try to distract you from the food8- an excellent location in the city for entertaining out of town guests9- usually a short wait because it's good, popular place but not so long a wait you start looking at your friends wondering how well they'd pair with soy sauce10- clean bathroomNeed I go on?
Be the first to ReplyI did not expect to be so let down.
Let's start from the beginning. Upon entry, we were seated right away - a group of 3. That was good. Checked off the pink slip boxes of food. Things came to the table one by one. Pork buns - as expected sweet and crispy. Excellent Congee - first time trying authentic congee. AmazingRice rolls - not enough filling. Alright Chicken ginger - punches you with ginger Steamed beef meatballs with tofu skin - uhmmmmm why was it jelly like and really pinkDessert - the flower jelly - tasted like sugar jellyCalled for refill of water twice. Never got it. I've waited so long to try this place ever since I saw the youtube with Fung bros filming interviews here with Ronny Cheing, the cast of Crazy Rich Asians, even Hot Ones ate here. Sadly I expected too much. It's a standard dimsum place. Wouldn't come back.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was fantastic.
With one vegetarian in our group they really made it easy to identify options and announce them as each item was brought over. We usually don't go for desserts at Asian places but we tried some of the offerings (Green Tea Sesame Balls) and loved them! I didn't love the BBQ pork buns but the Steamed Dumplings were excellent.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service.
Dumplings and spring rolls were ok. Fortunately there was no waiting for our group of 3, and the staff was very patient with us as we did end up being seated for quite a long time with light meals. Jelly dessert was meh...

I've been to this chain while in Taiwan, but have never visited this location in New York.The bbq pork buns are the classic popular item here and they did not disappoint. They are so fluffy and flake and the pork is flavorful and tasty, you can't go wrong! The dim sum menu is quite small compared to the usual dim sum cart experience, which can be seen as a negative, but still many delicious choices.The only other dim sum dish that stood out was the luo bo gao! It is a perfect dish that went well with the savory sauce. All the other dim sum was good as well. Nothing too special. It's definitely a little more expensive for what you get, but always enjoy eating dim sum and will be back!

When my colleague mentioned must try porc buns, I thought, let's do this! At first, they look simple and basic but after that first bite into the fresh, sweet dough and delicious filling, one bun is not enough! One order includes 3 buns.

Dimsum was not authentic (saying this as a born-and-raised Hong Konger) and wait was far too long for the sub-par food.

Have heard about this place for years and finally got a chance to try it. Lives up to the hype imo. I grew up eating dim sum and I can see why this place earns a michelin star. The dumpling skins are chewy, stretchy and fresh. The meat melts in your mouth - and I mean everything, not just the dumplings, but the sticky rice and rice crepes included. Loved the beef one as it was full of beef in the center, well-seasoned and not too salty, and so so tender. The shrimp crepe/rice roll? Forget about it! I've never had shrimp just melt in my mouth like that in a shrimp crepe before. The pork one I liked less, but it did have more veggies in it which I appreciate. The pork buns - pork was tender, juicy, and the sauce definitely stood out from other chasiu bao I've had. The bun itself was crisp, light and delicate - mildly sweet to accompany that savory pork inside. It's more expensive than your typical dim sum, I'm used to ~$4 a dish, but even at these prices this shouldn't hurt your wallet too much.
