Eliza K: A NYC must-visit. Of course, get one of the ramen choices, but don't forget the pork buns. Oh, the pork buns <3 They are delicious.
Juan Marquez: Pork buns and momofuku ramen, amazing!
Samantha Taube: Get the steamed buns #1,2 or 3. They are amazing soup dumplings! DO NOT MISS OUT on the scallion pancake with beef. Best thing I have eaten in a while. So yummy!
Claire Dranginis: The soup dumplings are the best I've ever had outside of Shanghai. The ramen is yummy too, but if you leave without eating the dumplings you're making a huge mistake.
Rafi Romero: I'm not a ramen/dumplings guy but this place was delicious! Absolutely get the scallion pancakes stuffed with beef, as well soup dumplings and buns.

What's Good Here: Order the pork, pork & crab, & super spicy soup dumplings and eat in that order. The pork & crab are favs, but the spicy is also very flavorful with its inclusion of Asian chili sauce.
J L: The soup dumpling (XLB) is amazing. Probably the best in the city.
M. R.: Agreed. The super spicy soup dumplings are seriously delicious. The sautéed string beans are just right. They're doing a lot of things well so far.

The Corcoran Group: The oldest dim sum restaurant in the city, and it's still just as good as it was in 1920 (so we hear). The shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings are excellent, as are the soup dumplings.

Bin Yang: Order this: pork buns, egg rolls, house special dumplings, pork/shrimp sui mai, sesame balls, and chicken feet. Done.

Doris Daif: Amazing meal despite cramped quarters - soup dumplings r a must
Noah Weiss: Dim sum is unreal. Ideal meal is crab and pork soup dumplings, Katz pastrami egg roll, BBQ pork belly, and pan fried spicy pork buns. You'll pay twice the price of Chinatown and it'll be worth it.
refinery29: Favorites include the chicken salad, pork & crab soup dumplings, and three chili chicken. An earthy, chic, rustic space, RedFarm is sure to please. Read more.
Bin Yang: Get the sautéed eel, dumplings, soup dumplings, five spices beef, but skip all the casseroles.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾: On of the best, quickest, and least expensive places. Love the soup dumplings and scallion pancakes.
Scott Lamb: Seems to have changed name and ownership (now: Deluxe Green Bo). Soup dumplings and scallion pancakes still excellent.

The Corcoran Group: Start your meal off with the pork buns, and then finish it off with the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen - you won't regret it!
Danielle: Awesome friendly staff. The pork buns are the best I've EVER had. Green beans are light and refreshing. Great change of pace from soy beans. And the ramen... A+ (obviously I couldn't eat it all)
Libby: The spicy ramen& the pork buns are delicious. This is my go to ramen spot in the area. I like the taste of Totto Ramen in hells kitchen is better, but there is no wait at Jin Ramen& it's still tasty

Jess Naldo: Great place to try once, considering the wait time is insane enough. Order everything: pork buns, anything with shrimp and the sweet potato cream for dessert! Black lychee tea is heaven.
Christina Chin: Pork buns and French toast custard are the best. Expect a wait.
Ailie Chang: Put your name down on the wait list and go shopping! Pork buns are SO delicious. Haven't tasted anything like it before. Everything else is very good and clean eating. Get a milk tea!
