Came here for dinner. This is one of several chain restaurants that serves dim sum all day so you can eat breakfast goodies at any time of day. Everything we had was great except for the quail, which was pretty skinny and didn't have a lot of meat to it. The fried intestines, twin lobsters cooked with ginger and scallion were great. The beef chow fun was a decent size, and we had some much food we had it for takeout.

Excellent for dim sum or late night bite. 👍👍 The duck spring rolls were a big hit. Wok stir fried fish with string beans was sparkling with flavor. PROS: 1) elegant venue & comfortable seating 2) nice ambiance. Suitable for date night 3) unique & extensive array of dim sum 4) quick kitchen to table service 5) BYOB. $10 cork fee per bottle 🙏🏻 6) some high caliber whiskeys available. RIP VAN WRINKLE, McCallan 18 & 25, & etc. CONS: 1) entree dishes are slightly smaller in portion 2) table service can use some checking up on

Shared some smaller plates. A bigger spot than the one in Hell Kitchen. They’re open late and there’s not a wait for two people. Food comes fast and staff are helpful. Not a bad option for late night food if you’re in this area.

Since this is a Dim Sum place, we shared a lot of things here - ended up being 12 different items in total that I tried. I can't get to everything here, but I do want to mention some things that I really liked. The duck spring rolls were my favorite. The crispiness was incredible on these, and the inside was super soft. I also really liked the juicy pork bun, the siu mai, and the golden flowing custard bun. The sweetness combined with the salty egg yolk on the last bun was very good. The one main dish that we got, the Singapore style vermicelli, was also solid. As for things I didn't like as much - the spare ribs were on the chewier side. The fried radish cake was also a skip for me For the price, getting to try out 12 different things, with drinks, and ending up at around $35 per person is honestly a good deal. Overall, this place has pretty good dim sum with a large variety and solid quality. 7.5/10

They have a special lychee shrimp balls which I haven't seen in other places, very unique. Pretty spacious between tables. You put quantity on the blank spot by the picture of the food on the menu and give the whole paper to the staff then wait for your food. Food came out pretty fast too. Must try this place if you're around the area.

Dim Sum Palace nails the experience you’re looking for when going to a Dim Sum restaurant. The interior is classic, it’s loud and vibrant inside (but not too loud), and there’s a large number of options to choose from. We had a rather large party so we had the opportunity to try over 25 dishes - some were a huge hit while others were just okay. It really depends on your preferences because not every dish is going to be something you’re going to want. I thought the duck was great though I wish there was a bit more. I also really enjoyed the shmai and shrimp dumplings - both were packed with meat and decent quality. The staff were friendly and packed the majority of the food up since we ordered a bit too much (they even warned us)! I thought my time here was great and I would come back in the future if I had a large group that wanted Dim Sum - it’s a no frills place that nails the basics pretty well. I’d say make a reservation beforehand because every table was filled by the time we left which was peak dinner time on a weekday.

Tucked away on Division Street in the less touristic part of Chinatown east of Bowery, Dim Sum Palace is offers an authentic dim sum experience worth seeking out. The restaurant strikes a good balance between traditional charm and modern comfort in an upscale ambiance. Great option for both dim sum aficionados and newcomers alike. Unlike most dim sum places, Dim Sum palace does not have carts working the space. Instead, you place your order by writing how many dishes you want using the menu[1], and dishes are brought to your table directly. While the cart battles are part of the fun of having dim sum, this is certainly more efficient, and will allow you to have any dish you want. All the dishes we tried were good: from the shrimp dumplings ($5.95 for 4) to the shredded roast duck dumplings ($5.95 for 3) and the taro, cilantro, and pork dumplings ($4.95 for 3); from the shrimp rice noodle roll to the shrimp stuffed with egg plant ($5.95 for 3) and the shrimp dumplings with mayo and corn ($5.95 for 3). My favorite dish were the seafood peashoot dumplings ($5.95 for 3). Prices are slightly higher that other more casual dim sum places in Chinatown. The place is very popular; expect a wait. Alongside the main dining hall, there are also rooms below street level that, although not particularly fancy and window-less, will get the job done if all you care about is food. Open late at night (10am - 3:30am). ---------------------------------- [1] The menu has a picture for every dish, making it easier for less experienced dim sum goers to pick what they want.

My mother had her birthday dinner there at the basement in a private room. The service was pretty good although they kept rushing us politely without saying they needed the room back which was done very skillfully. There's karaoke in the room which was nice. The service was very attentive, there would always be a server around when you needed something. The food on the other hand was very mediocre for the price. Everything was bland and I meant every single dish. But also let me say the restaurant was packed and from what others had told me personally, the food is usually better. Most of the meats we had taste like freezer burn except for the seafood. Some dishes was overcooked including the fresh fish we had. I think everything could've been slightly better. Don't get me wrong the dishes doesn't taste bad, it just felt like everything is missing a little something. Maybe I'm asking for too much.

We checked google and it had 4.3 stars so We went for lunch. The place was packed and big so we thought great we will wait. The lady at the front said it would be 15 minutes but it was more like 30-40 minutes wait. They sat us down and we didn’t have anyone take our order for another 10 minutes at least. We circled what we wanted on the menu and waited. They bring things out as they are made. My friend orders spare ribs which no one liked. We ordered lists of dim sum and buns and a beef noodles dish and for dessert we got the milk bunny’s. Everything needed flavor added to it. It was all bland. They brought tea to the table right away but we had to ask for water. I won’t be going back. I’ve had much better dim sum and service at other restaurants.

The best thing we got was the orange chicken and fried rice. otherwise, all of the dim sum appetizers we ordered were not that great. The meat tasted off to me like old fishy meat if that makes sense. The service was very slow we had to flag down our waiter for every thing.
