[Life: Eat] Best Dim Sum in NYC

I don’t eat dim sum nearly enough. On the agenda for this winter is to work this more into my brunch routine. I’m researching places I’ve never been and looking for suggestions so if you have any, please do let me know.

This is my current list of favs:

  • Golden Unicorn: shrimp dumplings w/shark fin, 2 floors, delish
  • Jing Fon: massive banquet style experience, most people say this place is the best
  • HSF Restaurant: classic, famous for clams in black bean sauce
  • Oriental Garden: best seafood options of all the dim sum places I’ve been to, Bouley is a regular here so it MUST be good
  • Ping’s Seafood: small, more intimate experience, known for fresh fish
  • Oriental Pearl: large, busy, pretty typical selection
  • Dim Sum Go Go: contemporary, clean, lighter dim sum than other places, available during all open hours
  • Chinatown Brasserie: the posh John McDonald owned version, but consistently good
  • 88 Palace: under manhattan bridge, endless carts, you’ll be full for $10 or less

What am I missing?

  6. emilyinternet answered: red egg on centre st is really good, although it’s sort of dim sum-fusion. i hear their pork buns are amazing; i like the mushroom dumplings.
