Came by for breakfast the other day and it was a fantastic experience. Awesum Dimsum was open a few minutes before their scheduled opening time of 8 am during a week day. Ordered via the kiosk and my order was ready within 5-10 minutes. The pan fried chive dumplings were tasty as they were pan fried to perfection and skillfully put together. Flavor was excellent. There are plenty of seats available for dining on premise as well!
Appreciate the canto authenticity to this place. The items we ordered tasted fresh and a good rep for traditional dim sum with the rolling carts. The only thing is the ha gow wasn't the best when we came for dinner time since the skin was too soft/loose but that's the case for ha gow at night at most places I feel. Would come back again if in the area!
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of dimsum here.Highly recommend the beef steamed rice rolls- the skin was perfectly thin and smooth! Just like how they make it at top notch dimsum restaurants! We also enjoyed the shrimp dumplings, pan fried dumplings, and steamed bbq pork buns. Their soup dumplings were just so-so. A bit too doughy for me, but it did have a good amount of soup in each one. The egg tarts were not bad, but I've had better at Chinese bakeries in Chinatown. I also love the small claw machine to get a fortune cookie! Works with pennies (provided by cashier). Food was brought out pretty quickly. Overall a good spot for a quick, filling lunch!
Popped in for some dimsum while I was staying in a hotel around the corner. They have an extensive menu along with some sampler options. I ended up ordering soup dumplings and har gow, and they were delicious, fresh, and filling. Would definitely return!
If you are looking for a really solid dim sum place in Times Square area, I'd recommend this place!! I was happily surprised with the fair pricing and portions of everything. The shumai was BOGO free this day and they were so yummy and juicy! We got all of the other classics and everything tasted great. I highly recommend their baked pork buns, I loveee the bread it comes in. I would definitely come back to have more of their dishes! You order at a kiosk and food comes out pretty fast. The ambiance is fast casual so if you're looking for somewhere quick and tasty this is the place!
Lo and behold, my cravings for dim sum kicked in again! And instead of trekking all the way to Gramercy we decided to go to the Times Square location to check out the ambiance. It was exactly the same, no difference. Same decor, still self serve, where you order at a computer then pickup the food in trays. This time, we ordered more than what I can actually eat. And on top of it there were a number of dumplings that was a buy 1, get 1 free. So of course I had to take advantage of that discount! I got the shumai. We also ordered xiao long bao, chicken feet, shrimp rolls, roast pork buns, fried eggplant, chives and shrimp steamed dumplings. Hubby loved the chives and shrimp dumplings. My fav was the chicken feet. Could've skipped the xiao long bao, this is definitely not the place for this! Overall still loved the quality of the dim sum options. Will absolutely return!
Self service dim sum place near Port Authority, NY We stumbled at this place on the way to the Lincoln Center. The interior was very modern and bright. You will order the food thru the kiosk and pay with cashier. We ordered awesome dim sum combo for $18+tax. The buzzer went on after 10 minutes and went to pick up the food. The combo came with 2 har gow, 2 siu Mai, 1 sticky rice wrap, bbq pork bun and crispy shrimp. All tasted good and it was nice to taste mushroom, chicken and sausage in the sticky rice. I would like to come back to try other dim sum and combo meals!
