    Great Food! Excellant service. Just stopped by for my first visit. Tue Pork and Chicken Dim Sun were great. I really loved the Turnip balls.

  • Review 2 (2024-07-24 - Rating: 4)

    Decent spot on the UES for dim sum. Nice atmosphere which reminded me of places in Hong Kong. Had the xiaolongbao, turnip pastries, har gow, and shu mai. My favorite was the har gow, full of fresh shrimp. On the other end, the xiaolongbao were a bit lacking in soup, but overall a nice place I’d return to.

    Was in the area and glad to find a well-rated Chinese restaurant. Service was prompt, and the food was delicious. I was impressed by how thin the soup dumpling dough was - it was so delicate that a tiny pinch would reveal the juicy meat.We also ordered the crispy duck rolls, which combined my two favorite things in one - duck meat and spring rolls.For the entree, we opted to share a portion of the scallion beef dish. The flavor was spot on, and the portion was perfect for 2.

    Great place with yummy food and friendly service. The scallion pancakes and spring rolls were crispy and delicious. The general tsos tofu had great sauce and the tofu had a good crisp, but the actual tofu needed more seasoning.

    I feel like their work day chef is not as good as their weekend chef at handling traditional dishes. Dim sum and design your own dish is always reliable and delicious. But there are chances that you get a more Americanized sweet and sour ribs rather than the more traditional braised short ribs. (Perhaps it was because I forgot to switch back to Chinese when I ordered, so the waiting staff sent a wrong message on my taste?) But so far our weekend and spring festival gatherings at Tri Dim have always been successful. I highly suspect that they are secretly operating on two menus, and the more authentic Chinese cooking style is reserved for our Chinese speaking community.

    Great spot in the upper east side for good neighborhood Chinese food and dim sum! Restaurant is casual and relaxed, service is straightforward and the dishes are all cooked well. My favorite are spring rolls (very oily but fried perfectly), soup dumpling, shrimp dumplings, dumplings in chili oil, and duck roll. Also great for Szechuan dishes

  • Review 7 (2019-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    We walked by and stopped to eat by accident. The food was unexpectedly beyond amazing. Soup dumplings were the best I ever had in Manhattan, comparing to famous soup dumpling places. Simple stir fried veggie dishes were phanomenon! We were so impressed. The service was like five stars. In addition, its kid friendly! We had a stroller with us. We were able to park it next to our table. Overall was a wonderful experience. We have been going back there again and again for soup dumplings almost every other week.

    Foods are nice and look clean. Nice place to go to enjoy dim sums in UES.

  • Review 9 (2021-05-03 - Rating: 5)

    We made reservation online through google map at 5:00pm and we arrived at 5:10pm. The reception person did not find our reservation on the list; however, he was very kind and offered us a Table, we were 3, two adults and child. From the beginning up to end the services was A+. All staffs was diligently and attentive and were all time aware of our table. The food arrived on time and was absolutely real Chinese food, a China experiences and more important delicious. Prices are fair and affordable. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Tri Dim staffs!!! 💯 we will come back.

    Went for dim sum and had great dim sum! Not much more to report. If you’re in UES and crave dim sum, this place will suffice 😊

  • Review 11 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    July 28th, 2024, was a day filled with love and celebration as my family and I gathered to honor our nephews birthday. Im delighted to share our experience, even if its a bit overdue. We had the pleasure of treating our nephew to a wonderful dinner, and he had an amazing time, from the warm welcome to the outstanding service provided by the owner and waitstaff. As we savored a range of appetizers and entrees, my mother-in-law, with her Chinese roots, was especially thrilled by the culinary experience. Every dish we ordered was a resounding success, and I, as a South American who values bold flavors, was impressed by the masterful seasoning of each dish. As a rather particular eater, I was pleased to find that I enjoyed every single dish. Thank you, Mr. Jay, for the warm reception you and your staff gave my family. Our nephew was thrilled by his birthday dinner and the coconut sorbet. Until next time!

    Check in though yelp and they offer complementary dumpling. Very tasty restaurant and food was authentic and good 👍

  • Review 15 (2024-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    We came to eat in a group of 4 while visiting Manhattan and loved this place. There wasn’t a wait on a Saturday afternoon so we love that. The food was amazing. I ordered the prawns with broccoli and walnuts. So yummy! My friend ordered fried rice with chicken and that was also great. Chicken dumplings for appetizers are an excellent option. I can’t remember the name of the other plates but for $20- $30 dollars in this area, I think it’s a great deal. You won’t be disappointed. The bathroom was also really clean: I’ll come back again!

  • Review 16 (2019-02-05 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely go for the crab and pork soup dumplings. We also had the half duck and Spicy Beef

  • Review 17 (2022-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    The service here was incredible, and the food was awesome! Its hard to find a good dim sum place this far up on Manhattan. Sure its not the same as Flushing or Chinatown but it was great to not have to commute to those places to get a good soup dumpling!The waiters were attentive, and so efficient with everything they do. The food came perfectly spaced out, and we were able to enjoy each others company because they werent in rush to kick us out!Thank you for a wonderful experience!

  • Review 18 (2022-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing Dim Sum location on the upper east side. Bringing you the ambiance of dim sum on canal st. The tapestries, the decor, all amazing. The food and variety of different dumpling choices had us ordering most of the menu. Bring your family and you wont have any leftovers.For entrees we tried the lobster in lobster sauce (amazing) and the sea bass was plentiful, I got to share with my whole table. Sauce was exquisite.Cant want to go back and order the other side of the dim sum menu.

  • Review 19 (2022-11-25 - Rating: 4)

    The food is good and they are willing to make accommodations to menu when ordering if you are vegetarian, ie. Shanghai rice noodles can be made vegetarian. They are extremely busy with the take out/delivery business, so you have to ignore the bustle and noise of the delivery men through the aisles. Some of the wait staff can be rude, and dont bother to check on the meal. Delivery is probably a better option if you want a quiet dinner.

  • Review 20 (2023-04-17 - Rating: 4)

    We stumbled into Tri Dim as a recommendation from a friend while we were in New York. The place was busy so we sat at the bar.Started with a generous double pour of Oban 14 Whisley.For the meal we enjoyed;Hot N Sour Soup, Fried Rice, Dim Sum, Sliced Chicken and Pea Shoots. All heavily flavored and very tasty. Next time well make reservations to get a cozier seat. But all around good experience!

  • Review 21 (2022-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    We had a big family dinner here for 11 people. It was a great atmosphere. The service is impeccable. Really attentive and speedy. The food was great. Highly recommend the pea shoots, vegetarian general tso’s, and pretty much every dim sum option (especially the shredded turnip cakes). The oolong tea was also very good and I’m sure the other teas are as well. It was perfect for a big crowd. The restrooms are located downstairs and I didn’t see an accessible option so call ahead to check in case someone in your party needs an accessible restroom.

  • Review 22 (2023-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for yummy Chinese food. I used to order a lot from Tri Dim West and was not disappointed to visit their UES location. Food was very good and prices fair. We were most impressed by the excellent service we received. We came with our two year old, who was treated extremely kindly!

  • Review 23 (2022-02-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great sit down Chinese food restaurant. Wonderful decor and super attentive staff make this an easy neighborhood favorite for the ritual Chinese meal. Great, clean flavors - not heavy feeling. Vegetables are nice and crisp and even the scallion pancakes are light and not greasy. Excellent quality eats, and vegetarian options to boot. A+

  • Review 24 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    I Absolutely recommend this place.Susan was so lovely, we stopped just for a drink at the bar and she was so sweet and delightful, we end up eating at the bar.I will definitely caming back 😊

  • Review 25 (2021-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    The dim sum was great, and the staff was very attentive! I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to others. Convenient for those visiting the American Museum of Natural History, since its around the corner. Prices are reasonable and expected for the Upper West Side. Outdoor seating was pleasant on a moderately warm day, with plenty of space for both diners and those passing by.

  • Review 26 (2024-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    Had the scallion pancake, soup dumplings and shumai... serive was prompt. The food was very good particularly the soup dunplings. Highly recommend

  • Review 27 (2017-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent staff/service. Attentive but not overbearing. Clean, attractive interior/atmosphere. Food was amazing. We ordered pork soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings in spicy chili sauce, chicken soong (lettuce wraps), and a double cooked pork entree. I dont have a single negative thing to say about it. Every bite was totally superb.

  • Review 28 (2023-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    This is a pretty cool spot thats quiet and small. For a delicious meal and incredible dim sum, I was truly surprised by how good the prices are. Whether youre going to take somebody on a date or just go there for a quick lunch, this is a great spot worth checking out.

  • Review 29 (2021-05-02 - Rating: 4)

    Very pleasant Dim sum restaurant for lunch and dinner.The selection of dim sum dishes is very wide, the dishes are served quickly as usual in dim sum restaurants should preform. If you do not have the strength to travel all the way to Chinatown then this is a great place in UES Manhattan to enjoy authentic Chinese food at reasonable prices.

  • Review 30 (2022-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    I know this really basic but ... I really love this place for their sesame chicken. The chicken is just that ... mostly chicken! The breading is very light as opposed to being heavy and oily and the sauce is more tangy and light rather than sticky and sweet. Their dim sum menu is also really nice and I’ve had nice service for both dine in and take out.

  • Review 31 (2018-05-08 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 33 (2018-07-15 - Rating: 4)

    Delicious dim sum! Friendly staff and great service.I only put 4 starts because, on a previous visit, the soup dumplings (which are usually delicious) had either undercooked or misformed pork. It was bright pink and wasnt formed at all, which was quite repulsive. However it hasnt been like that before or since. The soup dumplings are usually delicious... But that event did imply some inconsistency that makes me think twice.

  • Review 34 (2017-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    Stopped in for dinner with a party of 8. The staff was incredibly accommodating with our last minute request. Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious, the service was both efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was modern and clean.The owner was personally interacting with us and giving us reccomendations. Hes an absolutely wonderful guy and we had an equally wonderful time here. I absolutely plan on coming back the next time Im in the area and highly recommend it to anyone else looking here!

  • Review 35 (2017-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    I look forward to coming back to Tri Dim Sum. Their pork buns were to die for, and their dumplings (both fried and soup) are making my mouth water days later.A great spot to come with friends and to enjoy a dozen different treats in a place where the staff is engaging and friendly, and always attentive.If you cant decide on where to go and youre reading this review, go HERE!

  • Review 43 (2023-12-26 - Rating: 4)

    Tri Dim is a nice popular UES restaurant with decent food and a warm bustling atmosphere. The tri-pepper Szechuan chicken was very tender though a bit too salty and under-spiced. The Shanghai sautéed thick noodle were good. The fish fillet was good but mild. The scallion pancakes were oily and the steamed pea shoot dumplings were good but a tiny portion. Overall the food was good but not really exceptional.

  • Review 44 (2023-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is my go to place for dim sum in the Upper East Side. Particular emphasis on their xiao long bao which is some of the best in the city. The sichuan dumplings are also very good. The american chinese food (e.g. general tso) is honestly not that great, but I never order that from here anyway. Decently priced, and fairly casual atmosphere for dining in.

    Peking Duck! For 1 or 2 people. Very decent portion.

    Comfortable, local Chinese restaurant. We met friends there. Good soup dumplings, mapo tofu, chicken with rice, etc. They were out of items such as turnip cakes and a couple of other dim sum items. Service very good.

    I asked for a large bowl of won ton noodle soup, something not on their menu. They were happy to accommodate me.

    Best authentic dim sum eatery in the Upper East side. Very affordable dishes offering classic dim sum dishes such as shrimp shumai, spare ribs, and dumplings. The menu is vast, offering other dishes like Dan Dan Noodles and soup dumplings which are phenomenal. Wonderful clean atmosphere with a great wait staff that will help you order. If you’re with a friend looking to catch up, stop by this place and split the bill.

    A new favorite for soup dumplings. Also love the crispy shrimp rolls. Never had anything here that wasn’t good. Only indoor seating.

    What a pleasant surprise. From the complementary pickled vegetables to the tasty soup dumplings to delicious entrees (try the short rib special, if they have it). An interesting menu, it was difficult to choose!. Also, lovely service.

    Fantastic Xiaolongbao. Great Chinese restaurant hidden in upper east

  • Review 118 (2019-04-04 - Rating: 5)

    This might be the best Chinese food Ive had. The pork soup dumplings were out of this world and the firecracker shrimp and scallops may have been the best thing Ive eaten all year. The server was so friendly and offered fantastic suggestions. This is a must try place!

  • Review 119 (2021-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    Dim sum is usually an experience for us - not something for take out. These folks executed better than I would have expected though. Better containers than the usual, and very solid dumplings and scallion pancakes.

    Food was delicious! Sticky rice was the best weve had in a long time. Sautéed vegetables were fresh and sautéed perfectly. And the place had a nice decor and was clean.

    We love coming here for either lunch or dinner. Last night, after visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we came here for dinner. Lovely atmosphere with real tablecloths and Chinese decor. The owner and server warmly greeted us. We ordered a refreshing Gin Martini and Manhattan, delicious Hong Kong Shumai, hot and sour soup, Chef’s special crispy shrimp, Crispy Fillet of Sole in Spicy Bean Sauce, and Shanghai Fried Rice. All excellent. Then, we walk a few short blocks to the Q train to take us back to Brooklyn where we live. This place is ideal, and our choice whenever we are on the Upper East Side.

    Wonderful meal. Stubbled upon this place and now it may very well be some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. We got the steam dumplings, the Shanghai sautéed thick noodles and Szechuan shrimp. Definitely coming back!

    I was there for lunch. But I will surely return to nibble on Dim Sum. My waiter was very attentive, and the crispy shrimp balls are a must try at least once.

  • Review 138 (2019-02-16 - Rating: 4)

    Great decor and setting. Dim Sum was delicious as was the wonton and egg drop soup. Hong Kong style Shumai was my favorite with sizable chunks of pork and shrimp 😋 Most other places have ground up protein which makes for bad texture! Top it off with great service, yeah Ill be back.
