The place is big and deceiving because the food was absolutely atrocious but the place looked so busy at the same time. At least the prices were cheap.
Pros: Inexpensive, Food, Big Interior
Cons: Crowded, Table Sharing, Variety

yeah, feels like you're in china. food hits the spot, love the english translations on the carts that go by. you are never rushed, unlike other dim sum spots that don't have enough seating. this place is a family favorite for dim sum. very, very consistent food, and decent staff (if you speak chinese they are more friendly, but they're used to having some american patrons, too). bathrooms not super clean but what restaurant in chinatown has that?
Pros: good, consistent food, great price, big place
Cons: sharing a table, long wait on weekends

Great place to get dim sum but don't expect much beyond that. It's cafeteria seating and avg at best decor and minimal service. Typical China town atmosphere but that's why you go there.
Pros: Good dim sum, large variety
Cons: noisy

A co-worker from Hong Kong brought me in for Dim Sum and I've been in love ever since. With its expansive dining room of the red lacquer and golden dragon, it may look like a wedding banquet gone amuck or a setting in a John Woo movie. But amidst the bustling veneer are the harmonious affordable little delights. Shark's Fin Dumpling, Har Gow (Shrimp Dumpling), Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf and other steamy offerings should capture your heart. Bonus, are the name plates on the carts translated in English, so you know what's coming your way. Weekends may be hell to get in but once you're seated and the ladies with the trays roll by, it's nothing but heaven.
Pros: Delicious Dim Sum, Large Space, Fun Experience
Cons: Weekends Long Wait, Table Sharing, Noisy

This feels like a classic dim sum palace. Women with steaming trays of dim sum and no command of english. The food is good, people are nice, and I love being seated at a table full of Chinatown locals. Be prepared to wait on the weekends. One of the better bargains in NY for a meal of any kind.
Pros: Great atmosphere, Great Dim Sum, Fun
Cons: Language barrier., Crowded weekends.

If you haven't eaten here before, you haven't tasted nothing yet. The traditional food tastes delicious. I love the Har Kow even though I'm not a big fan of shrimp. It's roomy, and very comfortable. Makes you feel like you're in China.
