For super fresh dim sum, get here before noon. But even if you happen to stumble out of bed a little later the dim sum is still some of the best in town (and inexpensive too!)

As the name implies, this venerable Mott Street restaurant serves excellent Cantonese-style seafood dishes, but the off-the-cart dim sum is really the star of the show here. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

decorated red and dragons — top dim sum halls on Mott Street. some of the best braised tripe in town, mini custard pies, fresh tofu, shrimp rice noodle rolls, and pea shoot dumplings. stellar brunch

"Fried crispy bean curd was lovely; even more appealing were cubes of tofu dressed with a rich minced-pork sauce, and olives that were vaguely sweet and more fruity than briny." - NYT 12/12/2012

Lobster and the fried salt and pepper squid are a must. Place is always busy so reserve during busy times. BYOB.

dim sum totally lived up to the hype. the pork bun was insanely buttery, had the texture of a croissant. and restaurant was packed with chinese immigrants- always a good sign.

Came here during Chinese New Year and subsequently waited 2 hours for a table and would do so again in a heartbeat. Dim sum was off the chain!

Get the seafood noodles 🍝 $43 to share for a group! Big plate!

Get the braised tripe-Royal Seafood produces one of the city's best renditions, served w/ a bright red chile oil that colors the lips and opens up the sinuses. The stomach strips are chewy and tender.

Offering takeout dim sum to go during these covid times! Go early or all the popular items will be gone.

Their dim sum special is Mon to Fri. Don't forget their twin lobsters special for dinner. They have more tea leaves choice than other dim sum restaurants.

Nice food but make sure you head over with a chinese friend, else forget the food, you wont even get a place to sit...
Lynn HuJuly 21, 2013
On weekday it's $2 for whatever dim sum I think. We went on weekend, had plenty of food, and only spent $7!

If you are looking for real authentic chinese food you have come to the right place. The pan fried noodles and crispy half chicken are awesome.
KEN NaardenAugust 12, 2016
Good abundant dim sum selection. Don't come late as there will be very few choices . . . . !!!

Food quality is really nice. Just wish there was more variety and options during dim sum.

Good food and good customer services

The dim-sum push-cart servers are happy to direct the carts you want your way if you ask.

I don't say this lightly... but it's better than Golden Unicorn

They don't have much for dim sum...
Rollin LeeSeptember 7, 2015
Ugh ThIs is so bad. Sadly too sweet for me. And the dimsum is the worst. Go to jinfong instead.

They're running a lobster special, 2 for $5.

Definitely don't come here for dim sum if you don't like sharing tables with at least 2,3 groups of strangers. 😒
