Steer from the fish balls dumped in curry sauce.

Hahaha (I can be a pretty annoying patron but I do tip well when I know I am being difficult)įood is normally served hot and fresh. OR you can just keep annoying the waiters in the tux uniform and if you annoy them enough they will give in and get it for you so it can hold you over until the dim sum carts go around and shut you up for the time being.

They verbally tell you to sit down and wait god knows how long until they get to you. Some dim sum places will not let you get up and go towards the carts. Sometimes it is just best to get up and go to them because every god damn table will be flagging them down as they go around and it is never ending. TIP: When you see an asian lady pushing the cart of items that you want. Well in my first encounter of getting a ticket. ** Keep in mind when they tell you an hour they mean an hour. There is this asian guy there on his microphone calling out #'s on top of telling people who constantly crowd the doors to move. There is a front booth where you grab a ticket and then wait for your # to be called.

Arrived there around 11am ish and it was insane! No way in hell I could have just weave in there and grab a table like I normally do. Well never really had to wait up until recently. Normally getting in isn't an issue for me. However the wait time is ridiculously insane if you not get there early, wait on line before the restaurant opens. Entering into a ballroom of spacious tables that never seem to end! Otherwise, hit the Golden Unicorn and have a better dim sum experience, or better yet, go get soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai. Our party of 18 (two tables of 9) was ignored (for water refills, drink orders, utensils, napkins, anything) by the entire wait staff until we stood up like we were leaving, and then, finally, someone came over and asked if we were ready for our check.īring your own drink and utensils and order only the most popular items, and you'll be happy. When the food is good, it is great (shu mai, steamed bbq pork buns, shrimp dumplings), but when it is bad, it is just terrible (crispy pork is bland and low quality meat, complete lack of chicken dishes beyond chicken feet, overcooked rice noodle wraps). The price is right, in that most dishes are under $4, and feeding a group comes pretty easy that way. It is the low quality food and lower quality service. har gow: over steamed with tough shrimp insideĭim sum on a Sunday is always packed, but the 30 minute wait (expected) isn't what rates this place lower than average. steamed rice roll with Chinese doughnut inside- the doughnut wasn't very fresh in ours and was fairly chewy. mixed offal: cooked very tender and not overseasoned. I don't know how much of it was fresh durian but the flavor was definitely mild and not overwhelming.

We usually get the fried version but this snow skin version was really good! Their fried version can sometimes be overly greasy and heavy but the filling was perfectly smooth and the durian flavor was clean and sweet. tripe was nice and tender and flavored well Make sure everyone gets and equal distribution of the syrup or else someone's will be extra sweet the tofu pudding with ginger syrup was very light and delicate. #1 unique recommendation here: snow skin durian dumpling Join the rally! 183 Centre St in front of Eastbank on March 25 at 12pm to demand the Chu family re-open the dining room.I feel like the prices here are a bit higher than most places but that might just be because I'm not quite adapted to NYC prices yet.TAKE ACTION to save Jing Fong and protect Chinatown and the Lower East Side: Our elected officials sit on the sidelines and do nothing to save Chinatown despite the hardship caused by the pandemic. Meanwhile politicians like Mayor de Blasio speak out against anti-Asian violence, but say nothing about the economic violence of putting over a hundred people out of work.Īlex and Jonathan Chu are putting their own profit first, ripping out the heart of Chinatown, and destroying the only union restaurant jobs in the entire neighborhood. The Chu family, the biggest landlords in Chinatown, have forced the beloved Jing Fong restaurant to close, and ignored offers from the community to take over the restaurant operations. Wednesdays & Sundays 12-2pm at Eastbank 183 Centre St. The fight to keep the Jing Fong dining room is far from over, as the community is standing up against the destruction of Chinatown and the Lower East Side!
