Dim Sum Chelsea

We stopped by Dim Sum Chelsea on a cold and wet day to get a snack and take a break after a lot of walking around. The restaurant was fairly slow and service was very attentive and friendly. We just wanted a nibble so we only tried the Lotus Rice and the Crab and Spinach dumplings paired with a shared bottle of hot sake. The food was hot and flavorful, the crab and spinach dumplings were juicy but my favorite was the lotus rice that was stuffed with a seasoned meat mixture. I only recently discovered this dish and now its a favorite! I would love to come back to try more dumplings if I'm ever back in the area.

Decent food but terrible experience. Kept being rushed from the moment we sat down. The crab and pork soup dumplings were only lukewarm. Pork buns were good. Crispy sesame pork was just too sweet and serving was very small. Mongolian beef with onion was good. The service was shabby. Atmosphere was average too.

9/13 me & the GF, Sat dinner. On the light side #2, #21, #19, #25. +Wine. All good. 6/21/25 me & The GF, Saturday dinner. C1 ribs - good and with some heat. #21 wonton in spicy sauce - so good. Pork soup dumplings - always amazing. Moo shu chicken - very nice. And a cold Kirin. Service still great! 9/8 back for solo dinner. I got the Shanxi Biangbiang noodles. Really good, more souplike & similar to Daoxaio noodles. So i got the side of rice at the end and it was perfect! So, do that ;) * Side note: my pics were not loading correctly, had to screenshot and reupload, so that's why they look funky.* 5/10/24 dinner- still good. 12/8 solo dinner - got the special table in the back ♥️ good to see everyone. I had the Daoxaio noodles -really loved them, I've never had this kind of noodle b

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the city. Food is top notch, with my personal favorites being the hot and sour soup, cumin beef, and the triple delight vegetarian dish. The ambiance is one of a small suburban Chinese restaurant. I moved from Chelsea to the upper east side a few years ago and still make the trek down to Chelsea some nights just to dine here. You won’t be disappointed.

The owner is so nice. He is welcoming and kind. Also the food tastes delicious and relatively healthy, like not too much oil, so I feel good the next day. Overall, I highly recommend.
