What People Are Saying About Dim Sum Go Go
Featured Review

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…
Editor's Tips
- Look Good:
- As soon as you sit down ask for extras of the delicious little homemade dipping sauces--they go fast, and you may never see your waiter again.
- The Extras:
- Asterisked dishes are the chef's specials, and are especially good for groups.

Excellent Dim Sum
by gaiamcraft at Citysearch
I like to consider myself somewhat of a Dim Sum pro, having tried so many places for so many years on both coasts, not counting unfortunately in Asia.
This is not traditional Dim Sum - there are no carts. Which for me takes away from the experience, but the dim sum is made to order and is hot and fresh and delicious.
The duck dumplings are divine little pocket morsels of goodness. The mango shrimp "rolls" are great too, but piping hot. The shrimp noodles have a great noodle to shrimp ratio. The mushroom dumplings are excellent - only drawback is that they really should not put celery in there. The steamed chicken buns are fantastic.
I always come here with a large group and no one has ever left disappointed. This place gets really packed on the weekends, so come before noon.
- Pros: dim sum, price
- Cons: no carts
Better than most

I like this place because it is not like the other places which can be really crowded. The waiters friendly and we didn't wait forever to get our food. And you can get dim sum late whereas some traditional places don't serve it after a certain time.
- Pros: Friendly staff, good dim sum
- Cons: none really
Great Dim Sum!
by TheTripChick at Citysearch
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.

Overpriced & Mediocre, Good for Late Day Dim Sum Craving ONLY
by changmino200 at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Dim sum at night
- Cons: Terrible other food and service
