The Scene
Philippe Starck meets Shanghai. The minimalist decor is accented by lit-from-behind red and white walls and a wraparound mirror. A large seafood tank flanks the back wall. Downstairs is more tranquil than upstairs, where multigenerational families with lots of kids tend to hold sway.
The Food
Vegetarian dishes are as flavorful--and more surprising--than meat creations. Don't miss the sauteed fresh soy beans with pickled vegetables, an unfortunate name for a gorgeous toss of edamame (like buttery baby limas), homemade noodles and fresh herbs. Garlicky Go Go roast chicken, with a crackling, golden skin, is also excellent. Definitely go for weekend, made-to-order (no carts!) dim sum. Audacious eaters should pass over the familiar buns and noodles in favor of specialties like briny shark fin dumplings, or the fresh-corn-crunchy white sea fungus.

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a dim sum novice, and that while I really enjoyed the dumplings, it's not a food I will most likely seek out much in the future. We tried Dim Sum Go Go with a group and had a great time..it was around Chinese New Year and the dragons were out and about, blessing shops and Dim Sum Go Go was one of the spots the dragons stopped. We tried several dumplings but the standouts for me were the crab meat and the chives and shrimp dumplings - delicious! They offered great service and if I am ever in the mood for dim sum, I will head back to Dim Sum Go Go.

If you are Chinese, I would pass on ever considering this place. After years of reviews complimenting this place, we finally thought to check it out. The dim sum is very good and great that you can have it late in the day. But, all the other food was mediocre at best. Even the white rice left a lot to be desired, it seemed barely warm and we had to ask for it three times. The service was terrible although I saw a lot of fawning over the tourists. I will never go again and I will not recommend it to anyone. Anywhere else in Chinatown would offer you a better meal.
