Great spot for some traditional dim sum, make sure you know what you want to grab from the carts whisking around the room!

Dim sum on the weekends can have a really long wait, but easy to get a seat on a weeknight. Some of the best soup dumplings outside of Manhattan (in the appetizers section on the menu)

Xiao Long Bao or Soup Dumplings are a must order item here!

Why brave Canal St. dim sum? Good soup dumplings (not amazing but hearty) and great seafood dishes (try the conch & scallop combo). Less rushed mid-afternoon. Will go back! (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

One of my faves - such a hug variety of choices in a really nice space.The dim sum is fantastic and the regular menu is great too. Go early cuz there's always a wait - for good reason.

Amazing dim sum (definitely get the soup dumplings) and super fresh seafood for dinner!

It's known for dim sum, but Pacificana is great for dinner. As its name suggests, the seafood specials are great, and if you're feeling adventurous (and willing to spend) order a fresh eel or geoduck.

Palatial dining room, solid dumplings, everything you could want in a dim sum house.

Spacious, loud, and packed with patrons, servers and steaming carts of food, everything you want in a dim sum restaurant. And the food is MUCH better than what you find in Chinatown.

Delicious: Pork crackling(sliver of fat and a thinner sliver of meat, is blistery and crunchy); baked custard buns; Hakianese stew pork with preserved greens Read more

A scrum of Chinese families snakes out of this 450-seat Cantonese joint on weekends. Once you’re in, flag down waiters ferrying a procession of goodies coming out of the open kitchen

This Cantonese restaurant does great dim sum, a destination for Sunset Park's Chinatown.

Best dim sum in all of NYC! Be prepared for a few table bumps, full bellies, and bliss!!!

Nice spacious place to eat at and their food is pretty up there as well. It can get quite loud during 10am-2pm (dim sums time) hours..

Great dim sum, but very crowded. Go early.

Came for a wedding what a nice place
Madison EarlyJanuary 15, 2018
The atmosphere is like being in a hotel convention room. The folding tables and cheap seat coverings don’t equate to a fine dining experience. The food is probably the worst Chinese I’ve ever had.

You can never go wrong with the soup dumplings but the real treasure is the shrimp and pork shumai.
Angela CovacsJuly 21, 2015
Very disappointed, never thought a simple dish of Beef and Chinese greens could go wrong but they managed to do it... it's a pity this was my go to restaurant.

Durian puff pastry and durian snow. They only serve on limited orders! Don't miss out.

Not a lot of options for weekend dim sum

This place is chaos on the weekend. Disorganized and overrun.

The dim sum here is disappointing and the service is bad, I only come here if its close by or I don't have any other choice.

Two words: soup dumplings.

Culture shock for me being an Italian American! I was afraid to order most of the dishes and went for the Sesame Chicken, haha.
