“ I really love wontons and when I'm in Manhattan, I stop here for some big, plump, and juicy wontons. The skin is silky soft and the filling is flavorful and "crunchy." These are shrimp and pork dumplings and the ratio of shrimp to pork is about 50/50. I also very much enjoy the cold chicken. It's shredded and well marinated. The menu here is nostalgic Cantonese and they do it very well. I've had the siu mai and bao buns in the past and they are also good, but I always go back to my favorite wontons. Service is fast. Casual. They have a big dine in space. Please come and create your own adventure. ”
“ A solid stop for affordable and tasty dim sum. I tried the crispy pork belly over rice, duck puffs, and egg tarts. The pork belly is excellent; the skin is perfectly crispy, and the bowl is finished off nicely with pickles and an egg. The duck puffs were something new; similar to taro puffs in texture but with a duck filling. The egg tarts were a pleasant surprise-- very tasty and individually wrapped for convenience. Service is quick and straightforward; this is take-out dim sum. You place your order at the counter and wait for it to be prepared. One thing to note: no water is provided if you choose to dine in. While the flavors aren't extraordinary, they're consistently good, and the prices are very reasonable. ”
“ We didn't know that this place had no table service. Intent was to have an early birthday lunch with coworkers but ended up individually ordering and bringing our own food back to our tables, which there were plenty in the back. In the back, there's a sauce station that has soy sauce, sriracha, hot oil, etc. along with utensils. At the front, you order at the register and wait for your number to get called. I ordered the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup along with a whole roasted duck to share with my coworkers. There were 6 wontons and they were huge. It's so worth the price, tbh. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were also big and tasty (and my fave). The duck was a bit too oily for me but the crispy pork belly was delish. Would def be back for a quick lunch or to get dim sum delivered. ”
“ Genuinely not bad at all for a Times Square eat. I feel like the food near Times Square is always overpriced and not great but Dim Sum Sam was actually quite good. We got here for a weekday dinner and we were able to get a table quickly after placing our order. I ordered the Roast Duck Noodle Soup and it was quite good. I liked the rich broth paired with the Hong Kong style noodles. The duck also had the subtle sweetness to it although some parts were not super tender. I didn't care much for the vegetables in the dish. It was a solid noodle soup. Overall, not a bad eat at all especially if you're in the area. Something I thought was weird was that they placed a NYC sales tax on all the food which I feel like I haven't seen elsewhere. It seemed to be the same type of tax that you would get for buying clothes. ”
“ Yummy food. Great location. No frills. Gets the job done. Like the shrimp dumplings. Highly recommend ”
“ Do you want dim sum and take it on the go? This is the spot for you. It's a fast casual dim sum spot. So they have the food in to go boxes, which makes it easier to grab and go. They have some seats in the back, so we opted to dine in. So our steamed food are in the usual bamboo containers. Even though, the spot is located in Midtown West and it's more of a grab and go spot, I was pleased with the dim sums. The buns were warm and fluffy & the crispy pork belly had a good crunch. We ordered: Crispy Pork Belly White Rice Spicy Cucumber Duck Spring Roll Scallion Pancake Pan Fried Pork and Chive Dumpling Crispy Pork Bun Shrimp Dumpling Sui Mai BBQ Pork Bun Juicy Pork Dumpling Juicy Pork and Crabmeat Dumpling Sweet Egg Yolk Bun Seafood Rice Noodle Roll Even though, we ordered so much food, if you split the bill amongst friends, the bill isn't too bad. ”
“ Was craving soup noodle on a freezing cold day so decided to stop it. It's a fast casual restaurant where you order at the counter and then sit in the back. I got the two meats noodle soup with wonton and roast pork while my friend got the wonton noodle soup. The wontons were huge and succulent with snappy shrimp and savory pork. The roast pork was so tender and fatty and melt in your mouth! I did wish it was saltier but that could be due to it sitting in the soup. The noodles were also cooked perfectly and the veggies have a good crunch and freshness with all the meat. A perfect place to stop by for a quick lunch in midtown! ”
