Patrick BaskinAugust 31, 2015One of the best dim sum in Manhattan, pork buns and shrimp rice cakes are delicious
Andrew McLaughlinNovember 17, 2013The steamed pork buns at dim sum time are insanely addictive. It's a good thing there is an infinite supply of them.
Neelu ElizabethSeptember 23, 2016Everything is amazing! Just point and order off the carts. You will leave full and happy.
Sarina MeonesDecember 2, 2016Lots of wait time to get a table. Get there early if you want good food choices and do not want to wit too long.
LeeCooksSeptember 25, 2012Came for dim sum on a Saturday. First Time & the food was delicious. Extraordinary selection and unlimited supply a MUST try
Lydia DingMay 24, 2013definitely a go-to dimsum place. better than jing fong! leaves you satiated and happy - not heavy and bloated. go to golden unicorn!!
Melody HanJanuary 24, 2010Dim sum gets super busy around 11am on weekends, but worth the wait to come at noon when they bust out the goodies: snails, clams, tripe (along with the usual dumplings and shumai). So cheap, too!
Very fast and good service. If you can't wait, ask a server to see if they have dishes available outside and they'll get it for you.
Liang ShiSeptember 12, 2014Get here when they open to avoid waiting in line, and get the durian puff pastry -- if you dare.
Come early on a Sunday (before 11 am) and bring a native speaker.
Dim sum here is a very "New York" experience. Bring a big group, and if you need more tea, just leave the lid off the pot.
Jackie HonOctober 4, 2015Most authentic Cantonese dim sum I've had in Chinatown that's still reasonably priced 👌🏻
Lauren MacNovember 4, 2015This place is a SCENE. Tasty and very authentic (maybe too authentic, if you know what I mean?)
Lisa SchreibmanOctober 20, 2022If you want dim sum at night and from a menu, this is a solid choice.
Sabrina WangJuly 27, 2014very chinese style banquet restaurant... with "wedding" letter sign on the wall. good food and great price.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011A perpetual favorite with the weekend brunch crowds, go before 11 to get the best of the dim sum and avoid painful waits. - Inspector
Filippa Edberg-ManuelNovember 10, 2013Get there with a good 30 min time buffer. They don't take reservations and crowds can be impressive...
Ryan EickMarch 11, 2017Gigantic restaurant with people walking around carrying carts of food. I wasn't always sure what I was eating, but man it was good
Taylor WaltmonJanuary 4, 2014Shrimp dumplings, garlic shrimp and scallion dumplings and all the other dumplings. Yum!
Christine TranSeptember 11, 2016After you drown yourself in dim sum, pick up the custard-filled piggy buns!
Go to Golden Unicorn and treat yourself to pretty decent Dim Sum. It's not to the standards of SF or even HK, but it''s still nice sit down and enjoy this version of Chinese small plates with a relaxi
Marcel MichelmanDecember 1, 2014Dumplings are awesome! Make sure to ask the waiters about the specials!
Get here before 12:00 noon it seems like the lines form instantly then. Then you will have take a number and wait even with their two floors.
really good dim sum but do get there early to beat the crowd otherwise long wait for table and longer wait for food..
Nick DouglasJune 27, 2011Pushy staff with carts will plop down everything they have if you don't stop them. No prob, you can stuff yourself for about $12 a person. Read more
PriceFebruary 20, 2015It's a classic Chinatown dump. It's lit like a high school gym and the food is fried and covered in sauce.
Van SeditaNovember 2, 2013The roast duck was fabulous! Do was pretty much everything else. Maybe the spring rolls were a bit greasy.
talia inbarJanuary 7, 2012Same carts rolling by for 1/2 hour. Very small selection. When I mentioned to manager, he sent all the same carts to our table, en masse, AGAIN! I'll be looking for a better dim s option..
Isabella BabiencoDecember 29, 2011Have been coming here for years... any kind of dumplings and turnip cake are my fave- R JamesDecember 11, 2014"Teo Chung Dumpling" : "Rich with Texture" , "Pork Shui Mai" : "Hot & Savory" , "Price" : 8.00
Jen Nunn-IwaiNovember 3, 2010Best dim sum in NYC!! if you have a sweet tooth, try the green sweet balls. they look weird but they're oh so good.
Jay PobladorNovember 5, 2011Be prepared to wait for a table. Worth it though, great Hong Kong style dim sum
Diego RufoApril 4, 2011It's best to get there early on a weekend, before noon, for the freshest dim sum and the most variety. Read more
