"Affordable" Dim Sum in Chinatown, New York City.

Danny, you could tell that a Dim Sum Restaurant must be good when you just hear the buzz and noise when you enter the Restaurant. Nice cantonese skill and thanks for ordering my best dishes ;)

[@jimbennett3788]

Thanks for sharing. You know you're in a great Cantonese restaurant when the place is packed and loud. 😊I will try this spot the next time I'm in the area. Over the course of 40+ years I've enjoyed dim sum in Manhattan on Elizabeth Street across from the police station, a diner across from Confucius Square, plus a couple more I forget where they are. I have the good fortune to live a couple of miles away from the heart of downtown Flushing so I've patronized quite a few different informal spots there miles (too many for me to remember names and adresses - just know where they are). There are some fancier restaurants too. For example up a few flights on Roosevelt Avenue and another on Northern Blvd in Little Neck. Dim sum is certainly a taste treat as there is a very wide variety of offerings and the dessert sweets end your meal leaving a great flavor on your palate.

[@luplew1444]

Good to see you back in Chinatown NY. Looks like this place is definitely worth a try for Dim Sim. Old school places with OG prices like Hop Shing is never coming back for sure. Thanks for the great review!

[@dannythemedic]

it is sad to think it is not coming back because of GREED... maybe owners be like, oh, the people are paying 7 or 8, I dont see why we should bring back 2.75, 3.25... sigh....

the food looks wonderful. At 84 I am no longer able to climb those stairs, sad. I would have loved eating the food. Thank you for sharing.

[@kevinmendy7254]

So crowded because of low prices. Hopefully other restaurants will lower their prices too. My friend went to Hong Kong many years ago. He said dim sum was 60 cents a plate. Some people ordered so many plates, they were piled high in front of them so they couldn’t see their faces anymore.😂

If it's packed with Chinese, that's usually a good sign. I like places like that.

The food looks great Danny. I would love to have some now, and dim sum more later. The food must be good when Danny drinks the sauce like tap water.

[@KC-newme]

Never heard of this place but another one into my list now. Just checked their menu, found out the shrimp tofu skin rolls are in the special dim sum section which cost $5.50🥲That's why you got a $5.50 stamp, too bad but it's also one of my favorite dim sum dish too so I will still getting it when I go. Thank you DtM for another good review.

[@dannythemedic]

but tofu skin rolls are 4.50 , the shrimp dumpling was the one that costed more, the guy said ( after the shoot ) that all shrimp things cost more

ehhhhh no no no... such advice may lead you to a place that have excellent chicken feet or something like that.... or specializes in bird heads, or bird spit soup.... because of it being very extreme.....

Glad to see someone on the same page as me wiith regards to prices doubling over the past couple of years, which represents a 100% increase. $1.75 for one ball/piece is difficult to digest. I know one place I use to frequent - not only has the price increased to $7 per dish, but at least 1/3 of the selection/menu has disappeared.

[@dannythemedic]

I suspect that they raised the price for reason of the times, and now that things are back to normal, they see the people are still paying so they not gonna lower it back down..

Going to take a guess that the Har Gow was $5.50. You can see the waitress make two separate marks on your check after she hands you the dishes.

Speaking about hop shing, do you remember a restaurant nearby located around the middle of division street, I think called trade winds? They were one of the first ones, I think that had rolled rice rolls, before they became popular. The ones there were delicious. They were rolled up, almost like an egg roll. They had pork, scallions, sesame seeds etc. I remember them being only .35 cents each. They also had a great stuffed tofu dish. It was family run restaurant and there for a long time , back to the 60’s I think before they finally closed.

No judgement on the crowdedness... But this reminds me of the titanic with the stairs if a fire started instead of water rushing towards people from a ship.

[@getsmartpaul]

Hi Danny, your back home in NYC Chinatown. The Shrimp Har Gow is a key food quality indicator. Interesting it was only 7.5 but the Siu Mai 9.3 and Ngau Cheng 9 ( fresh and hot ) were rated higher. Business wise, the rent for the 2nd floor is cheaper than the ground floor. Thus, they can probably lower the food prices a little. So, walking upstairs will save you some money and get a bit of exercise too. ha ha BTW, were the locals there speaking mostly Cantonese or Mandarin ? Is Chinatown still predominantly Cantonese ? Flushing Queens more Mandarin ? Brooklyn ?

[@dannythemedic]

I wasnt listening in on the locals.. the noise level was so high it was just a blanket of noise. I dont live in chinatown anymore so I dont know who lives there, maybe others with more recent experience can answer your questions
