3 Times Dim Sum

Good Dumplings! I must be honest. I’m new to the area for work and got lost attempting to locate another restaurant. I walked into 3 times and was delighted to try some dim sum! They had both dine in and take out! I ordered pan fried pork dim sum and was not disappointed. They were great. Will definitely be returning on purpose!

Their dry pepper chicken is to die for. So flavorful and spicy. It’s a pretty big portion and comes with white rice. Also had the Dan Dan noodles and it was a perfect pairing for the chicken. Loved every bite of the noodles. Can’t wait to order here again.

Outstanding dim sum. Grabbed a quick bite here last time I was in town, and will be back! Very fresh and authentic.

I was attracted by the decoration and I walked into this Chinese restaurant for the first time today because it opened near my company. I ordered the fried chicken and soup dumplings, and they all tasted pretty good. I ate the soup dumplings quickly so I only took pictures of the fried chicken. To be honest, I am very happy that there is one more restaurant near my company, and I think it will become my favorite place.

I just walked by there then I decided to try this new restaurant because this place smells so nice. I lived at water st for several months, but there are not many Chinese restaurants. As an Asian, I really miss Chinese food. I am pretty impressed by this place. It is small but nice and clean. The decoration looks very new, modern, and pretty cute under the buildings. I ordered spicy soup dumplings and beef soup, soup dumplings are amazing and tasty. Beef soup is also pretty nice, but not recommended in summer, it’s hard for me to finish them all. But it is worth trying, and I definitely will come back with my friends to give it another try.

My friends come from PA and want something for lunch, so I decided to take them to 3 times which is my favorite restaurant. I just find out that they now have a new location at fidi, such a surprise! Actually, I didn't expect they can make dumplings at the same level as their original branch. Cuz I think 3 times’ soup dumplings really are the best in NYC. After I tried them in the new branch, I know I will come back again for other dim sums. The waiter was really nice, he reminded me I should be careful cuz the soup dumplings are really hot. Other Chinese foods are also good. We tried some vegetables which is not bad, chicken, and fried noodles, just okay but really nice price.

Love this spot, I order from here frequently! Love the braised duck and double cooked pork belly. A pretty different taste.

Pretty good, food was nice (spicy crawfish dumplings esp) and colorful - no major issues so good experience overall

Great food and service. Our server was great and attentive to all clients. The food was quick and delicious. I appreciate the complimentary hot tea on cold nights such as the time we went.

Enjoyed a nice dinner before my flight out in the morning. Food came out very hot and was tasty.

I found this little spot just around the corner from our hotel! It’s such a great option if you’re not up for a trek to Chinatown, especially with the thunderstorm and flash flood warning we had during our stay. The roast duck was delicious, and the green dumplings filled with spinach and mushrooms were fantastic—the spinach tasted super fresh, not frozen at all. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out!

If you're near the financial district and craving tasty, hassle-free soup dumplings, head to the intersection of Water St and Pearl St. I also enjoyed their beef soup and egg rolls. The exceptionally friendly and sincere service enhanced the experience. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

The food was so good, the price is easy to afford for the simple meal. The dumplings they are the best didn’t disappoint me at all you must try their dumplings. They have the screen to place the order. Good location to try.

We got there when they opened and sat at the their largest table (can seat up to 5-6). They bought us water, and the menus very quickly. Once we ordered it did not take long before our food arrived. Our food was so good! We loved our food and would go back again in the future. Very clean restaurant. Great portions.

My friend had dined here before and she said it was pretty good. We were walking in the neighborhood at lunchtime and thought we would stop in. Reasonable pricing. She chose pan fried pork dumplings and scallion pancake wrapped w. beef. The dumplings came out first, it was hot, good and FLAVORFUL. The beef noodle soup was the best, tasty and full of vegetables and beef. Service was courteous and efficient. I would have lunch here again. They have many tempting dishes on their menu.

My friends and I were craving some noodles on a rainy day in FiDi. Luckily we stumbled upon 3 times. 3 times is definitely quality Shanghainese. We ordered the pan fried pork buns, pork soup dumplings, spicy wontons, Shanghai fried noodles, Chinese broccoli with garlic, and hot and sour soup. The food here had so much flavor. Definitely add some of their chili oil and the vinegar for the dumplings. We did not expect any Asian food to be this good in FiDi, but we loved our experience here. You can't go wrong with any of their soups, dumplings or entrees. The dumplings and soups came out super hot. Our food came out rather quickly and the staff were great at making our dining experience amazing. The local Yelpers definitely got it right here. This place was recently rated as review of the day as well. Make sure you come here for some qualify food.

If you're hankerin' for some Chinese vittles, let me tell ya, pardner, you'd do well to mosey on over to 3 Times, the finest purveyor of Asian grub this side of the Mississippi! I reckon I done had me some of the most succulent sesame chicken I ever did sink my teeth into at this here establishment. The meat was juicy and tender, and the sauce was a flavor explosion that left me hankerin' for more. And let me tell ya, the wonton soup was a darn sight better than what my dear ol' ma used to make back on the farm. The broth was rich and savory, and the wontons themselves were plump and full of flavor. But the piece de resistance, as they say in the fancy-schmancy parts of town, was the shrimp and pork siu mai. Lordy, I ain't never tasted such a delectable dish in all my born days! The shrimp and pork were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the texture was a symphony of silkiness and chewiness. All in all, I'd say 3 Times is a darn fine establishment, and I recommend it with all the gusto my humble heart can muster. So don't be a fool, partner, and high-tail it on down there for some mighty fine eatin'!

They're a little pricey!! But, their dishes taste great!! Everything are made fresh, as you placed your order!! Their Sesame Chicken, Spicy Beef, Pork Dumplings & Hong Kong Style Fried Rice are to die for!! Well Seasoned & Very Tasty!!

Solid Chinese food and dim sum in Fidi. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, the pan fried buns, and the cucumbers in garlic sauce. Food came fast, service was good (they came to clean the table, served water and utensils, promptly) and the food came out hot. The beef noodle soup tasted good, not very spicy, but tasty for sure. Comes with some beef and veggies, good balance. It's not Sichuan style beef noodle soup, which is our preferred style, but it was great otherwise. The buns were the stars. 4 warm buns with plenty of meat and saucy inside, but crispy fried outside on the bottom. Pretty, too. The cucumber in garlic sauce is very garlicky and also crunchy. Good side dish. Overland happy, would like to try some other dishes.

Delicious, no-fuss soup dumplings by the financial district near Water St/Pearl St. Enjoyed their beef soup and egg rolls as well. Even more pleasant is the very friendly and honest service. Highly recommend. Will come back!

One of the best hot & sour soups I've had in recent memory - and in a giant bowl. The soup dumplings were also great. Everything came out piping hot. Place is clean and chill.

Super good food, the place is super cute, totally recommend, and really fair price for the dinner set!

3 times is a cozy little chinese restaurant. the soup dumplings were great! the house special beef noodle soup was alright. the broth was flavorful, the beef was tender, but the noodles lacked texture. the scallion pancakes were crispy, but a little oily. overall we had a good time and would come back again!

shrimp and pork siu mai was absolutely delicious!! the spicy soup dumplings could have been spicier but they did have flavor.

Pretty good overall. Got very nauseous the night after but don’t know if it was related. The food was really good but the service wasn’t super great. Overall worth trying but nothing super amazing.

We tried this spot when we were exploring around Financial District in the summer. I heard their dishes are more authentic and tasty, so we decided to go and try some of their dishes. The inside was rather small, but cozy and clean. Since we didn’t really know the size of each dish, we started with three orders: Fried Rice with Shredded Pork, Shrimp Wontons in Chili Oil, and Pan Fried Pork & Crab Roe Buns. Fried rice was just a-ok, but we enjoyed the wonton and buns, especially the silky wontons. The items with red pepper on the menu, indicating "spicy" were not that spicy, but had a nice kick to it. After that, we added Shanghai Fried Noodles with Shrimp, and Sautéed Eggplant with Garlic & Chili Sauce. The noodles were a-ok, nothing really special. Eggplant was a pleasant surprise. It looked beautiful, and we received mountain of them. They had great flavor, and just melt in your mouth. So good! The female staff at the ordering counter was very friendly and polite. The price range for this spot is a bit pricier, but you have to consider the location. I still think it is very affordable for Financial District location. Also, I thought it was great that they serve their food in takeout containers, so that if you don’t finish eating them, you can simply ask for some lids, and you are good to go!

TLDR: Decent Chinese food in a pinch First time I went, I got General Tso’s Chicken and Fried Rice and both were pretty mediocre. Second time I went, I got Chicken Soup Dumplings, Chicken Wontons in Chili Oil, and a Roasted Chicken Rice Bowl. The Soup Dumplings were solid, the wontons were great, and without the chili oil and sriracha, the chicken rice bowl would’ve been hard to eat.

Had the pork and duck special with a fried egg as an add on. The pork was tasty, however, the duck came with a lot of bone and my fried egg which I paid extra for was extremely well done. Staff wasn’t very accommodating, I was told that’s how they make it. I would not get the fried egg there. It’s a waste of money. It’s more like a takeout spot with seating and they had no heat on.

We eat Chinese food all the time. First time we ordered from here one of the three dishes seemed to be doused in vinegar. We couldn’t eat it. Not learning our lesson, we went back and ordered three different dishes. Once again, one (king poa chicken) was doused in vinegar or something that tastes a lot like it . Maybe the cook has gotten mixed up on ingredients or maybe he thinks he’s a culinary genius, but there is clearly a problem here. Not going back.

Cute little restaurant but the food was subpar. The steamed soup dumplings came broken, stir fried noodles were overcooked and the wonton soup also were overcooked and the wontons were broken. The only good dish was the pepper beef, that was pretty good.

The food is good, but disappointingly everything is served in disposables so a modest meal produces a mountain of trash. (This is especially disappointing since all of their photos depict real china.) The lack of condiments is puzzling as well. Ventilation isn't great so you leave smelling greasy. I was excited to have this option but probably won't return.

I had been here a couple of years ago and it had been super tasty. I think the management might have changed. The menu is less interesting but longer. Food is now pretty ordinary. Not tons of flavor but at least the vegetables were crunchy. No heating and freezing cold inside restaurant. Everyone stayed with jackets all zipped up. I won’t go again.

They’ve made it impossible to eat here. Can’t speak to a person when you order in person - you order through a tablet 🙄 and can’t add any specialization (I have allergies) — even when you order online. I used to love it here but it’s become genuinely impossible to get food here that I can guarantee will be allergen free.

After a long day exploring NYC, we got back to our hotel and were hungry. There wasn't really much around us, so we got DoorDash from this spot. We ordered: - Spicy Soup Dumplings - Dan Dan Noodles with Minced Pork - Fried Rice Noodles with Beef I know takeout isn't the same, but I was pretty disappointed. The Fried Rice Noodles were the best thing. The Spicy Soup Dumplings were pretty bland somehow and the Dan Dan Noodles had literally no flavor and were really mushy. I've never had any that bad before. I'm hoping it was just an off night or that takeout somehow ruined it.

Ordered a broccoli with steam white rice and wonton soup. Wonton soup tasted off, but I kept eating it. Got severe food poisoning. Seriously🤦🏽‍♀️

The pictures associated with this restaurant is fake as can be. I dined in and my food was served to me in takeout containers. My soup dumpling skins were all torn and leaking. I’m 1000% sure these soup dumpling are frozen. For the amount I paid and the quality of food I received did not math. I cannot emphasize enough on how bad this spot is and why you should skip it. There’s a food hall next door. Just go there.

We received a plastic shard in our food, called to notify the restaurant, person who picked up the phone didn’t seem to care in the least. Offered no remediation or even an apology and hung up. Will not be going back given safety hazard

I ordered a soup bun and a geo shrimp. I found it’s 3 times while waiting and felt happy because I was satisfied last time at Clinton branch. The restaurant has a very heavy kitchen smell in the front waiting area. I found a hair in my soup bun at the bottom of the bun and it tasted not like fresh pork as they advertised, it’s not fresh pork, it’s like impossible meat and tough. Then I had the geo shrimp then I doubted the shrimp was too tender like not fully cooked. I’m disappointed. I know it’s tough time for any business but you should try your least effort for the people who pairs price. Won’t go there any more. Thank you.

I ordered a garlic chicken dish on uber, there's was no chicken. I called the store, they just kept hanging up the phone

This place very dirty! Unhealthy! They didn’t clean the tables out and just make all used containers sit on the tables for hours. Since I came for dine in till I finished my foods, they’re still here, and they just didn’t care how messy & let that restaurant with a filfhy enviroment. The asian you g guy who serve by the register was not nice and gave an attitude, he keep Busy with his phone all the times and he played games. Was a teribble experience ever!
