Nom Wah Tea Parlor

The oldest dim sum restaurant in the city , and it's still just as good as it was in 1920 (so we hear). The shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings are excellent, as are the soup dumplings .

It's one of the best dim sum place in NYC. It is almost as good as the authentic dim sum you can get in Asia. It's really yummy. I like the restaurant has a 70's vantage tea house look to it.

This 92-year-old Chinatown restaurant serves terrific dim sum in a dining room with old-school charm. This is a great place to go for a cheap and satisfying meal in Chinatown. [Eater 38 Member]

As a big fan of dim sum , I went to try the oldest one in NYC!There was a long waiting line ! After waiting 1 hour, I can say it’s absolutely worth it😍Besides dumplings 🥟try salt & pepper 🍤 incredible!

Some of the best dim sum in NYC. Do not miss the pork shumai , shrimp shumai and soup dumplings

Fifty-six classic dim sum options span the menu and can be washed down with a variety of Asian teas . Go and see for yourself—at prices like these, sampling across the board remains easy on the wallet. Read more

Tasty dim sum with minimum fuss. Get the snow pea shoot dumplings , and get there before 9pm - they close early.

Eat this: shrimp & snow pea leaf dumplings , cilantro & scallion rice roll , shrimp & bacon roll, roast pork pun, chinese broccoli w/ oyster sauce , Shanghainese soup dumplings , + shrimp & egg fried rice

The dim sum here is classic, more fresh, and more affordable than the competition. Try the ultra-fluffy oversize roasted-pork bun or the tender stuffed eggplant filled with a spiced shrimp-and-squid. Read more

Exceptional and affordable dim sum - was pleased with suggestions for giant pork bun , giant egg roll , shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings . Plus green tea for a dollar and sesame rolls for dessert !

You have to respect the city 's oldest dim sum parlor, which looks like a Law and Order set piece in the best of ways. The dim sum here won't blow your mind, but it's solid.

Go with their recommendations! Everything on the menu is great. They try to serve it to you all at once but you can order few dishes at a time. The noodles are insanely good!

The pork steam bun (#1) is definitely... #1. Don't miss it. Steam bun sampler was heavy on shrimp , which may be good or bad for you. Nice tea selection . The bathroom is cold as hell.

Their dim sum is some of the very best you can experience. If you haven't been, what are you waiting for? Great place to enjoy good food and service. Very few places serve the Turnip Cakes year round!

I was a little worried about having dim sum for dinner , but this place was fantastic. Sometimes dim sum can be a bit too sweet or greasy. These dishes were fresh and delicious.

LOVE for dim sum , tho not a typical experience (no carts). Shrimp and snow pea leaf dumpling and Turnip cake in XO Sauce (not pictured) for days!!! Decent soup dumplings , but def not the star here.

Almost everything here excites the taste buds, though standouts include all of the steamed rice rolls , North China-style fried dumplings , siu mai, and fluffy roast pork buns . Read more

Although the menu shows the things that are "gluten free ", if you are celiac be careful with what you choose but really amazing when you cautiously choose menu items. Rice rolls are safe and yummy!

Dinner is definitely the move here. Must-orders: roast pork bun , shrimp & snow pea leaf dumplings , cilantro & scallion rice rolls . And don't forget to ask for some chili oil !

Lives up to the hype. I don't recommend ordering more than 2 plates per person unless it's the only meal of the day. Go for 1 pork bun and crab claw and some dumplings to share.

House dumplings are great. Pork buns are huge. Shrimp and pea dumplings are something else - in a good way.

Well-edited Chinese dim sum/diner menu, but still too easy to over-order. Everything was perfectly cooked. Expect to spend $20 per person. Cash/Amex only.

A cozy , diner style Chinese restaurant with some of the most amazing food. Definitely get the pork ribs and the shrimp and snow pea dumplings .

Best Dim Sum in NYC. Broccoli , pork buns , and soup dumplings are high notes but it's all 💯

Try the steamed-to-order shrimp-and-snow-pea-leaf dumplings , packed with minced shrimp , flecks of scallions and bright , fresh snow-pea leaves. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

I personally think their pork buns are better than the dumplings . Pork buns are the best I've had. Dumpling Man in East Village are the best dumplings I've had in the city .

In the movie Premium Rush (2012), J Gordon-Levitt's character had to make a delivery here while being chased by a corrupt cop. It all ended on Doyers street in front of the Nom Wah Tea Parlor.

This looks and feels like a chinese diner and is a really civilized dim sum experience. Despite its yuppiness, the dimsum is pretty good. Go before 12 to skip the wait.

Soup dumplings & HUGE sweet fluffy steamed pork buns ! Don't leave the area when waiting. If you're not there when your number is called your spot will be gone!

It’s very reliably good. Sometimes a long wait for a table especially on weekends so try to get there as early as you can if you’re very hungry and can’t wait to eat! LOL

Freshly made-to-order dim sum that is sumptuous and delicious. The wrapping skins, though, could be a little thinner, and that would be perfection!

Pork bun , pan fried dumpling and scallion pancakes are not to be missed. Be prepared to wait

We were lucky we only waited for a minute 💁🏻 Shrimp & snow pea leaf dumpling and any fried rice will do! Steamed pork was so tasty! Urghh i'll surely come back!

The best dim sum in NYC! No question! Food is amazing!! Have only had half the menu, need to work my way through the other half! A few standouts: shumai , egg roll , broccoli , crab claw !

Thrillist top all-u-can-eat meals: unadvertised, unlimited dimsum ; Groups of 10+ reserve table for 2.5hours. 10 dishes w/constant refills - exception of samp platters &fried crab . Unlimited beer&wine

Nom Wah is my favorite dim sum spot in the city . Their pork buns are unreal, must get. Black jasmine tea great add on to meal. Very cheap but always slammed on Sunday's

Heard the pork buns were good. We had dim sum and it's all amazing. Soup dumplings are great, turnip pancakes , all great

A great experience that wont break the bank . Their pork bun is out of this world. I love their rice rolls too.

Tucked away on a small street in Chinatown, COOLHAUS staff head here on Sundays to escape the ever-growing brunch crowd in Williamsburg. All dimsum is made-to-order and their menu is tourist-friendly!

Absolutely love this place! Some of the best dim sum I have ever had & I've had a lot! Super homemade feel, with a casual diner atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Nice place to take a person whose never had dim sum . There menu is super readable and has pictures of all the items.

The giant house special roast pork bun are next level! Also the shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings are a total winner.

#FabuLIST #DubiDO BBQ pork bun , shrimp snow pea dumpling , fried sesame balls , shrimp rice roll #DubiDONT expect soup dumplings to be better than Joes shanghai. Vegetable dumplings weren't very good.

Almost everything! The ambiance is awesome and the food is delicious- skip the vegetarian dumplings however, they're a bit disappointing.

Try as much as you can, but pork buns , shrimp and snow pea dumplings and soup dumplings are not to be missed

It's a cool, "old New York" institution and the food is pretty tasty (salt and pepper shrimp ! Heads on) But if you're looking for a DIM SUM experience with carts, this is not your place.

Though it's not quite as "authentic " as some of Chinatown, Flushing or Sunset Park 's spots, Nom Wah is a tasty, entertaining experience for a family crew. Read more

Each plate is cooked to order and what was once a health department nightmare is now a charming old-school institution, completely unlike the chaotic banquet halls that dominate Chinatown's dim sum . Read more

Be sure to get "original" (and massive) egg roll . Also the Crab Claw (waitstaff calls it "the Bomb", though I would call it "Ebirah". The higher-end teas are very nice, too.

Shrimp rice roll FTW. Skip the soup dumplings--too doughy. The steamed bok choy with oyster sauce is nice and balances out all the carbs you'll inevitably consume.
