Will Flaherty: Dan Dan Noodles, Dry Pepper Chicken and Dumplings in Chili Oil all are outstanding. Also super cheap tasting menus ($20!) for group dinners.

Caroline: One of my favorite places in the east village. Amazing food. Try the Dan Dan noodles and dumplings with chili oil.

Dim Sum Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 127 tips and reviews
AmateurConcierge: Famous dim sum. Slightly sweet. Loved the pork buns, fried dumplings and French toast. Didn't like the parsnip cake...too fishy
Jason Schulweis: Baked BBQ pork buns specifically, but everything is great (we also had fried pork dumplings, streamed shrimp dumplings, spring rolls and streamed rice balls - all great).
Alex Robertson: Love the baked pork buns, congee, and deep fried dumplings; shrimp har gow and especially siu mai (pictured) are great; french toast is tasty; steamed rice dishes and turnip cakes could be skipped

Tasting Table: Apart from the excellent khachapuri ($12 to $16) blistered and bubbling, you'll want to start with an order of lamb khinkali ($8), juicy steamed dumplings the size of baseballs. Read more.
Michael Hussey: Love everything here. Try the cucumber, tomato, and onion salad with walnut dressing. Always order the dumplings,
Zoé Ganch: Delicious dumplings and Cornish hen!

Arjun: Dumplings and buns. Dan-Dan is underwhelming. Dry pot is pretty good.
Jasmine Mehrabi: Really good. Got the dumplings, dan dan noodles with beyond beef, and dry hot pot with mixed veggies and tofu. Definitely enough for 3 people.
Pineapple Froyo: Wow… I was pretty disappointed especially given the hype for this place but when I took the Dan Dan noodles home to eat the next day they were 100x better than eating fresh

Quan Walker: Wednesday night: Trini night! Crab & Dumplings, Bake & Shark, Roti, Aloo Pie, Carib etc... Highly recommend the crab with a drink of Scotch and coconut water!
Akiko Bombita: Great reggae and fun vibe in the middle of the city. Get breakfast for dinner: ackee and saltfish, boiled banana and dumpling. Pina coladas are pretty good.
Elvis Rodricks: Wow.... this place is a blessing for Manhattanites! loved their oxtail stew- similar to Negril, Jamaica. Also, they have wrey and nephew rum for the brave rum lovers! Dont miss this authentic spot.

Dale Dale Forbes: Amazing dumplings
The Corcoran Group: If you like fake meat, then this is going to be your Shangri-La! You must try the Dragonfly Dumplings, the Caribbean Jerk Spiced Seitan and the Bamboo Nuggets!
Tim Crook: Soul vegetarian restaurant. They have tons of "meat" dishes. Faux, obviously, its the best you'll ever have. The Soul Chicken Sandwich and the buffalo wings are incredible.

Katie Tuohy: Found it on accident and I'm really glad I did! Spicy pad Thai was excellent as was the dumplings. The desserts are from Vegan Treats which is always a plus!
Martha Mondragón: Good service, delicious food. You can't miss Celestial tofu, Mac n'Cheese and the New England Rolls.
JYOTI SINGH: Green curry!

Liza: Great sushi. Get the sushi for one and split it with two. Dumplings were also delicious
Ki Choi: Without a doubt the omakase sushi sashimi platters are the way to go. Although not on the menu, it comes with miso soup, salad and fried oysters. A tremendous value.
Vanessa V.: If you aren't getting the spicy tuna pizza, I have one question for you: why aren't you getting the spicy tuna pizza?

Valerie Seckler: 3 off-the-menu items come with the dinner sushi bento. Tonight: clam, shrimp dumplings, seaweed.
Eric Friedman: Great sushi spot in the neighborhood. Head to the back patio to sit in the bright greenhouse while you eat. Grab a well priced lunch special of sashimi. Salad or soup, and a excellent cut of fish.
Erica Choi: One of the only really authentic Japanese restaurants in the neighborhood. Really fresh sushi all the time. I love getting the Nabe Udon as well. Good servings and bento boxes are extravagant. A+
