Dim Sum Sam

4.5 stars for the area - best dim sum in flat iron area. Surprisingly good noodle soups. Much much better than Awesome Dim Sum nearby which inexplicably has a higher rating. Maybe more Westerners reviewed that one? Tim Ho Wan is more authentic down in union square. And Din Tai Fung in Times Square is legit. But this is the best in the neighborhood. And very friendly.

Great spot for Cantonese food outside of Chinatown! Very casual place where you order at the counter and wait for your number to be called.We had pork and duck noodle soup and pork and chicken over rice, along with a roasted pork rice noodle roll. All the meat was very tender and cooked really well. The rice noodle rolls are always my favorite! And of course we had to end the meal with an egg tart! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

We ordered take out via the kiosk. Sometimes the kiosk is a hit or miss. The staffs were friendly. They spoke Cantonese. We ordered dim sum. Dim sum is a bit over priced. Remember to take out the paper on the bottom of the roast pork buns! Personally, I would go to Chinatown for the dim sum for the price of dim sum, however if you want to avoid Chinatown's crowdedness and long wait, this is a good alternative.

In the mood for a la carte dim sum? Dim Sum Sam has got you covered from early AM to like 9:30pm (last I checked). The dim sum is tasty - love the siu mai - and is not Americanized.Get your goods to go, or sit and enjoy. During nicer weather, you've got Madison Square Park right there. Enjoy that vitamin D!Peep the lunch specials. The math may math for you if you want roast pork on rice (hint: you do!) and a lemon ice tea.Yes, prices are higher than Chinatown, but you're not in Chinatown. Credit accepted.

We ordered the minced beef congee, pan-fried chive dumpling, shu mai, and shrimp dumplings. The portions were just right for me and my friend. The food was served quickly, & there was plenty of seating available. Overall, it's a great spot for a quick and satisfying dim sum fix!

Maybe great to get takeout food at this place. I had my Sunday lunch here and I need to order by the front entrance without prices.Eat-in area is good and choices of sauce for ourself.Menu choice is not such a wide but I could get just what I wanted.Wanted small wonton soup but it was a big portion, maybe good for share with 2-3.I ordered at front and pickup food when ready by myself and ask for tip at front before how I know the system, that's tricky enough because I did not get ANY service from them.Food it self, I felt frozen foods steam up except wonton soup.There's many ways to improve this place including food quality and humanly service.3 items and paid $29. I had un-satisfied lunch here.I may find better place around here.

Ok spot; Good enough to fill your belly until you can get a full meal. Typical Asian food items on the menu. Don't expect Chinatown prices but expect the midtown ones. The staff was welcoming and receptive to assist you with finding whatever you needed. The restaurant was clean and the staff cleaned as each party got up from the tables.

Great to-go place. The food was fairly good. I would say their specialty is duck overall. The soup dumplings were a 6/10, pork chives dumplings 8.5/10, shrimp dumpling 9/10, and roasted duck dumpling 7/10. I have mixed reviews if the food but service was immaculate and the layout is super cute for seating. The bbq duck noodle soup was very sweet. The broth was good but got cold easily. I would give this place a 3.75, not too bad.

Delicious! At Dim Sum Sam, you order and pick up your food at the front counter and in the back, they have a well lit clean dining area with a screen to monitor your order progress. In the hall between the two, you can see into the kitchen and watch your food being prepared. The food was ready after a short wait, utensils and sauce are located at a station near the entrance of the dining area. The dim sum tasted fresh and flavorful and the rice plates were delicious! I had the crispy pork belly rice plate and the meat was tender and a little chewy and the pork skin was super crispy. But the really show stopper was the sauce that was drizzled on top, absolutely amazing, with the pork and after with the rice left over at the bottom of the plate!

We usually order from this restaurant via toasttab.com and delivery fee is now $100. Not an error either. Was told to just come and pick up or order via other delivery options.
