Delicious and reasonably priced Cantonese food near Madison Square Park. We got the roasted duck with rice and beef noodle soup and left happy and satiated!

Very good vegetarian dumplings and chicken congee! We loved the buddha dumplings and the spicy mushroom dumplings

Tried the BBQ roast duck with plain steamed bread and shu mai at Dim Sum Sam. The duck was crispy outside but juicy & moist inside. The Shu Mai were tender and flavorful. They have a variety of sauces, and I highly recommend the duck with their chili sauce. Definitely some of the best Chinese food I’ve had, highly recommended!!

Relatively close place to Baruch. I’ve come here like 15+ times 😭, the food always hits and never disappoints. The combos especially the one with shrimp wonton noodles, lemon drink, and egg tart is so good! Cheap (~$18 w tax included) and delicious too! — i couldn’t find a pic of the shrimp wonton noodles, attached is a picture of the roast pork rice bowl combo

Dim Sum Sam reminds me of home in the best way. Growing up in Guangzhou, I've always had strong memories tied to food. Especially the kind you'd find in small shops or street stalls. Eating here brought a lot of that back. The rice noodle roll was exactly like what I used to have back in Guangzhou! Soft, silky, and freshly made. Their beef brisket rice noodle soup was everything I hoped it would be: the broth was rich and comforting, the brisket tender, and the noodles had just the right texture. I also tried the 双拼饭 (two-item rice combo), and it was honestly delicious. Every bite felt familiar and satisfying. It's rare to find Cantonese food this close to what I grew up with, and this place really gets it right.

It's easy to miss this store when wandering past this street, but you better not miss it. I got both takeout and also dined in, and one small tidbit I liked about the vibes here was the roast duck and pork belly I could see hanging from the kitchen. Onto the food! The roast duck is great, tender meat and crispy skin. I usually got it with the noodle soup, and something I like is that they have really good Hong Kong egg noodles! (I think they're also called soba, not that sure.) The broth for the noodles is also really good. After scrounging around a bunch of locations, I'm so happy I found a place with rice noodles! The sauce they also give you for that is great. What I do like the most is that although it's not on the menu, they can give you a helping of the gai lan you see accompanying each dish on the pictures. One more thing: make sure you have room in your stomach for some dessert! Not only are they priced so great, but I've gotten not one, not two, but three amazing egg tarts, pineapple buns, and egg yolk buns! They're all amazing. Let me ramble about their amazingness for a bit. The pineapple buns are all filled with taro paste, and I popped them in the microwave when I was home to get them nice and warm. The shell is crispy, and I don't know how it's also so satisfyingly round. The egg yolk bun was my personal favorite; it was so deliciously sweet and filled to the brim. I can't describe how it tastes; you have to try it yourself. Lastly, the egg tarts. When I came here with my mom and she tried one of those, it resulted in us getting egg tarts every time we passed by. See, my mom isn't a huge fan of sweet stuff, so I was shocked that she loved these so much. She says she hasn't had this good of an egg tart for a very long time, and I gotta agree that these egg tarts are so good with a soft tart and a pretty good shell. (Heck, when we went to Chinatown I feel like Dim Sum Sam did it better.) Sadly, I don't have many pictures from my camera roll of this place, but whether you want to stop by here for some take out, a nice meal, or some desserts, it's worth a trip.

This is an authentic Cantonese style restaurant near flatiron. The roast duck and roast pork combo is my all time favorite. Large dinning area, self service, no tips needed. Price is fair and portion is big.

Top marks all around. Great menu options and phenomenal pricing, especially in the city, is always a win. We got chicken dumplings, pork steamed buns, Shanghai pork juice dumplings and a roast pork that came in a dumpling fold. I don't know hiw to describe the last other than roast pork meets wrap. The flavors were so good and all the dumplings held together so well. If you haven't tried a soup dumpling, I recommend the Shanghai juicy. Very excited to come back here, one of my new favorites in the city.

This was a truly exceptional experience. I have no complaints whatsoever. The restaurant offers authentic Cantonese cuisine at reasonable prices. Generally, I am not a fan of duck, but the way it is prepared here has changed my perspective. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, including the crispy duck over rice, shrimp dumplings, and, my personal favorite, the pork buns, which were both fresh and flavorful. The staff was courteous and friendly, and the establishment was clean and welcoming.

As someone who is into a quick bite and real authentic Chinese cuisines and food. I’m Macanese (Chinese + Portugese), this place has it all, with foods authentic to Hong Kong and Macau natives. Taste is on point and the price is very decent for Manhattan standards. A definite recommend if you want a bit of home tasting growing up eating in Chinatown/8Ave/Flushing!

I was around and saw this place. Had a few dim sum items with duck and rice and a beer. Overall the food was good but not the best dim/sum- HK dishes Ive had. It’s good for a quick meal if you are around the area. Service was quick.

Me and my chums were stopped by for lunch. I ordered the minced beef rice noodle roll, roast duck puffs, and soup dumplings. The rice noodle roll was satisfactory as the rolls were soft and elastic. The duck puffs were the best! Succulent pieces of roasted duck wrapper in the flakiest pastry! And the soup dumplings were mid, the skin was kinda rubbery so it pops very easily and the meat filling was a bit tough. Overall, this is a great spot for quick and standard dimsum! It should be noted that you order at the counter and seating is limited. You also get your own utensils and sauces from the sauce bar.

We only tried two things, and came after dinner, so hunger isn’t clouding this review. Food: The salt-egg and taro bun was more cup cake shaped than the picture. It was flaky, and it was served at the right temperature, slightly above room temperature. The expected saltines was not present, but the salt egg was visible. Although the dish was fresh, it probably tastes better directly out of the oven. It sounded more interesting than it was- a kind of bland, yet comforting and reasonably sized pastry. The second dish we had was the sticky rice. The leaf left the rice with a beautiful perfume. The rice itself was a little bit more wet than I would like. The inside could benefit from a little bit more variety, like chestnut or something like that. The Chinese duck sausage was nice, but could have been cut a bit smaller to be proportional with the size of the dim sum. Service: friendly, but one of the servers had a hard time understanding me. Atmosphere: “I can see you catching feelings; From the mirrors on the ceiling; And I'm liking what I'm seeing.” In other words, cheesy… but very clean.

I ordered the rice combo with char siu and roasted duck, but instead received roasted pork. I paid $15 for a portion of roasted pork that was mostly fat and skin. There were also no utensils included with my to-go order. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and the worst food I’ve had. I would not recommend getting food from here.

This place serves food that looks great in photos, but has absolutely no flavor in real life. The duck was mostly bones and skin with barely any meat, and the beef tasted old and dry. You might get food poison if you ate all cuz meats are really really dry and hard to chew. The dishes looked nothing like what was on the picture, honestly felt like a scam. Definitely not worth the price, and the ratings are completely misleading.
