Dim sum in Chinatown can be something of a lively madhouse, and Jing Fong encourages its customers to get involved: Those too hungry to wait for cart service can hover by the kitchens to nab fresh treats. As the afternoon progresses, you'll see as many waitstaff as customers scurrying after food carts with bill cards in hand, clutching stacks of steamers back to their tables. The diverse assortment of dim sum fare is exceptionally tasty: From pork and vegetable egg rolls to every type of fried and steamed dumplings, in addition to buffet-style raw seafood cooked to order.

incredible variety and a fun cultural experience if you take it with a smile!
by igas
great eating experiences are not about decor or presentation. Just great food. So anyone reviewing a restaurant and spending half the review talking about the quality of the bathrooms should not be reviewing restaurants. Nevertheless, this place sports a HUGE dining hall (and I dont mean by new york standards) and endless cart service. Yes they seat you with perfect strangers but they did put me with a couple of cute girls so it was all good. The food was simply delicious and the variety was unbeatable. I pointed at whatever looked good and they served it and I was not dissapointed. I'm definitely going again and you should too. As far as the service, if you have ever eaten or bought anything in chinatown you're probably used to it. You just smile and enjoy your delicious snails!
I ordered 6 different plates for under 20 bucks! how can you beat that? And the food was top quality.
- Pros: food. variety. atmosphere.
- Cons: service although the food more than makes up for it.
