Lewy JonesDecember 9, 2015David Chang says "the restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown where I’ve eaten more meals than anywhere else on the planet". Surely that secures at least one visit?
EaterJanuary 7, 2014This unfussy Chinese restaurant serves terrific awesome seafood dishes as well as surprisingly delicate dim sum. The scene can be hectic, especially during the weekend lunch rush. [Eater 38 Member]
Sissi NieAugust 21, 2014Perfect blend of Jing Fong/Red Egg experiences: you can order both off the cart and off the menu, but without the 30-45 min wait for seats. Get pork ribs, steamed pork buns, and tofu rolls
ShellyFebruary 23, 2019Delicious dim sum both off the cart or menu, comfy seating, love that it's easy to have a conversation, and no lines. While Jing Fong overflows, I'll go next door...happily!
julia tNovember 22, 2014Love the turnip cake, shrimp in noodle crepes and all the dumplings. You may share a table with strangers, and that's some of the fun. Favorite dim sum in the city.
CompassApril 24, 2014Often lauded as the best seafood joint in Chinatown, Oriental Garden serves clay pot oysters, fried shrimp balls, and clams in black bean sauce to adoring patrons.
MarcJanuary 4, 2016TimeOut Top Chinatown Rest: Chinatown stalwart (with brightly lit dining-hall decor) specializes in fresh, Cantonese-style seafood and embraces a lengthy menu of dishes
Great selection, good service and most importantly, good quality dim sum. A little more expensive than the other dim sum places, but well worth the cost.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013A bit less touristy than its neighbor, Jing Fong, this is a solid dim sum option in Chinatown. We love the chive dumplings the most!
Best dim sum in Manhattan. Better ingredients than anywhere else and all perfectly cooked. Excellent service as well - not expected at dim sum.
emily chenJanuary 12, 2016stop waiting in the weekend dim sum lines at jing fong or golden unicorn like animals. come here for quality, civilized dim sum and get one of everything. ✌🏼️
Best dim sum in town. Don't miss the Lo Mai Gai (steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf wrap) and the pork dumplings
JennFebruary 2, 2013My favorite dim sum restaurant in Chinatown! Their shrimp noodle, pork/shrimp sui mai dumpling & pork buns are must haves.
A bit pricier than Jing Fong and surrounding dim sum spots, but you get it back in quality. There's also no need to chase carts - anything you want you can order off the menu
Simon SteadmanFebruary 13, 2017Great dim sum, Siu mai was the best I've had (and I've had a lot of siu mai)
Nancy HeOctober 15, 2014This is my go to place for dim sum in the city. Dinner is pretty good as well...especially seafood.
J CrowleyJuly 11, 2012Say it's your friends birthday. They'll bring out some sweets with a TRICK CANDLE! "Who doesn't love a good trick candle?" -Chuckles McB
Raj SarmaDecember 31, 2012The seafood dim sum is the star. I you like fried rice, the salt fish and chicken fried rice is highly recommended.
JanelleOctober 7, 2013when doing dim sum for the 1st time, try a bit of everything so you know what to order next time!
DariaDecember 6, 2010Authentic Chinese food. It's on the pricier side for Chinatown, but their food is high quality and they're especially known for an excellent selection of seafood.
NathanApril 14, 2014There's a reason why there's a bigger line at Jing Fong...it's definitely worth the longer wait.
momofukuJanuary 31, 2012the lobster country-style and chives with lily bulbs are must orders. don’t forget the limited dim sum menu available at dinner.
A nice restaurant. The food is excellent . The service is very good.
Rachel W.November 29, 2011Although they're known for their seafood, Oriental Garden's peking duck (served with fluffy buns) is pretty much outstanding.
PRO meal: assorted dim sum/salt and pepper crab/lobster w XO sauce/ whole sea bass w ginger scallion/house fried rice. Die happy
Gabriel ChungApril 13, 2016Good dim sum, not as cheap as next door but you don't have to wait an hour either.
Jon ChanApril 10, 2016White-friendly foods here only. Didn't see tripe, not even congee. The only thing slightly objectionable to the European-American palate might've been the chicken feet.
Talia BaiocchiJuly 7, 2010Beware of the $10/bottle corkage fee. They enforce sometimes and others they do not. Attempts at bartering the price down to $5 or free will often prove successful. Oh, and salt baked shrimp w peppers
William BrinsonFebruary 24, 2013Have been going to Dim sum here for years. They are pleasantly rude nice;)
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014David Chang, chef of Mà Pêche, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Lobster country style. Read more
Gabriel AdetoroMarch 16, 2013My God used to be awesome! Now renovated and expensive for what is honestly regular chinese grub.
Good quality dim sum. Doesn't hurt that the glitzier neighbor Jing Fong sucks up most of the touristy traffic.
Garett PressAugust 9, 2014There's a bacon wrapped shrimp dumpling that will fundamentally change you
