Eat Out
If you want to go to a great dim sum place in New York City, go to Dim Sum Go Go. Located in the heart of Manhattan Chinatown, this restaurant serves up authentic dim sum dishes in a non-traditional manner. There is no waiting around for the poor old lady to come to your table with her cart. You just check off what you want on a list and hand it to your server and all your orders will come out simultaneously, hot and fresh. This service style suits impatient people like me to a tee. Usually I end up running around hunting for food in places that serve dim sum on a cart since I am in no mood to wait around for the cart to come to me. Once I even ended up in the kitchen where the servers load up their carts at this 100 year-old dim sum place in Hong Kong. Ya, cart style is not for me.
DIM SUM GO GO has a great variety of dim sum dishes to satiate your dim sum cravings. The shrimp dumplings (har gau) and pork dumplings (shu mai) are a must. Other favorites of mine include the BBQ pork pastry, duck dumplings, shrimp-mango rolls, stir-fry celery & chives with candied walnuts and mango pudding. They also have a great selection of vegetarian dumplings for the vegetarians out there.
Like other dim sum places, DIM SUM GO GO provides their patrons with condiments like soy sauce and minced ginger and scallions if they want to add some extra flavors to their food. The restaurant also serves this special condiment called XO Sauce. It’s a spicy sauce made up of dried shredded scallops. It’s to die for and can be eaten on its own.
So for dim sum lovers out there, remember to check this place out if you are in Manhattan Chinatown next and are in the mood for some delicious dim sum. On weekends go there before noon if you want to avoid the long wait for a table.
