Quick line, despite its length. Very competent hostess. The food was great, but our milk teas weren't sweet despite asking to add sugar to them, which was slightly disappointing. Regardless, it was reasonably priced dim sum and I liked the restaurant's vibes. Very casual (a place to go with friends, but not necessarily business partners or a date). Be aware that it's cash only!

One of the oldest dim sum restaurants in NYC and is popular with tourists. Would recommend trying the stuffed eggplant, scallion pancakes, fried shrimp with bean curd skin rolls, sticky rice with Chinese sausage and beef rice roll. While the food was delicious, the dishes did seem a bit greasy. The interior is quite spacious, although you might need to share one of the large tables with other diners during busy times. Looking around, you'll be able to get a feel for the place's history, with photos and memorabilia on the walls. The restrooms, while functional, could use some renovation. For dinner, would recommend coming here a bit earlier, particularly during the weekends, as it tends to get busy and you may need to line up outside.

This restaurant is the oldest dim sum restaurant in NYC. Year 1920. The egg rolls were really good. You can actually see the filling is wrapped with eggs! The food came out fast and was delicious. My oldest loved the bacon wrapped shrimp!

We’ve always saw the line up when we’re in Chinatown and was very excited to try it. We arrived before it opened on a Saturday and got a table luckily. Honestly the food was a bit disappointing but can be good depending on what you order. Our favourite was the stuffed eggplant. Prices are reasonable and portions are quite big for some items. Their iced milk tea was not very good so we recommend getting tea as you should at dim sum. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant.

This place is PHENOMENAL. Quick service, fresh food and so authentic it will blow your mind. Bring cash or Amex and plan to arrive 30min before opening to get in line. I’ve done this both times and there was around 5 people in front already. Opens at 11am on the dot. There is a bathroom here too. We fly here to visit and will continue to do so.
