I’ve been meaning to get a group together to do Dim Sum for a long time. Because shocker, I’ve never had it! Anyone up for trying one of these places (minus Chinatown Brasserie, not a fan) some time this month?
[Life: Eat] Best Dim Sum in NYC
I don’t eat dim sum nearly enough. On the agenda for this winter is to work this more into my brunch routine. I’m researching places I’ve never been and looking for suggestions so if you have any, please do let me know.
This is my current list of favs:
- Golden Unicorn: shrimp dumplings w/shark fin, 2 floors, delish
- Jing Fon: massive banquet style experience, most people say this place is the best
- HSF Restaurant: classic, famous for clams in black bean sauce
- Oriental Garden: best seafood options of all the dim sum places I’ve been to, Bouley is a regular here so it MUST be good
- Ping’s Seafood: small, more intimate experience, known for fresh fish
- Oriental Pearl: large, busy, pretty typical selection
- Dim Sum Go Go: contemporary, clean, lighter dim sum than other places, available during all open hours
- Chinatown Brasserie: the posh John McDonald owned version, but consistently good
- 88 Palace: under manhattan bridge, endless carts, you’ll be full for $10 or less
What am I missing?
Munching my way through the Big Apple and around the world.
Always in favor of extraordinary flavor versus saving a few calories, I’m constantly seeking out the best restaurants, recipes, and random little food items. This blog chronicles my findings, most of which are located in New York City, the foodie heaven I am fortunate to call home.
If you think of food as a life source and not a love affair, well my friend, you are missing out.
