Skip this. I rarely leave a bad review anywhere even if it’s bad but I needed to leave one this time. Edible if VERY hungry, but VERY underwhelming. Meat was gross. Fatty gristle. Sauces were watery. Rice was just yuck. How is rice yuck? And the combo meal comes with one type of drink (Lemon Iced tea) And they won’t let you switch it for anything else not even water! I gave mine away to some random person. Oh and the tables were disgusting and there was nowhere to even set my purse down except for the bench which was slightly cleaner from people sitting on it and wiping it with their rear ends. You also have to eat in a room with zero windows. The room is big and they have like a fake window of a park with some trees but it doesn’t Make-up for the lack of service and the lack of taste in the food. do not be deceived by the photo. Ick. we ate the
Combo with barbecue pork over rice and “spicy” mushroom dumplings (not spicy at all Or any other flavor really) and some pork soup dumplings and some barbecue pork steamed buns. All very underwhelming with very little flavor. The only thing that tasted good was the greens in the bowl and the egg. Whatever that white vegetable in the bowl was tasted ok. The Portuguese custard tart was also practically flavorless. Might as well eat air.

I had such a fantastic experience at Dim Sum Sam! Our food arrived in no time, piping hot and freshly prepared, which made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable.
The portions were absolutely huge — much more generous than we expected! Every dish was packed with flavor and made to perfection. Whether it was the dumplings, buns, or rice rolls, everything tasted authentic and satisfying. You definitely won’t leave hungry here.
What impressed me even more was how reasonable the prices were considering the portion sizes and quality. It’s amazing value for money, especially given how fast and well-organized the service is.
If you’re looking for delicious dim sum, lightning-fast service, generous portions, and great prices, Dim Sum Sam is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! ✨this is a self service restaurant.

We ordered beef, and seafood congee which came in large bowls. Try the duck dumplings. There is a good amount of duck filing and tasty sauce wrapped in a semitransparent dough. The beef and shrimp rice noodle is silky smooth. It goes great with the congee. Price is reasonable. Locals came in and out while we ate here. Good indication it’s authentic and good value. Space is surprisingly HUGE and clean because staff is consistently cleaning tables, floors and facilities. Enjoyed traditional Chinese congee breakfast on this windy cold January day and would recommend a visit.

I was surprised by how high the rating is for this place. Unfortunately, the food didn’t meet my expectations. Everything tasted quite bland, and the pork was very dry. The flavors were hard to distinguish, and I honestly wished I had ordered the egg tart instead. The service could also use improvement. The staff didn’t seem very attentive, avoided eye contact, and at one point was eating while helping customers, which didn’t feel very professional.

They will offer you a free drink for a review. They’ll have you show them your review to get the drink. I did not bother.
The staff behind counter was not a friendly one, but maybe that is the part that is authentic lol. HK restaurants are known for unfriendly staff.
The food was decent . We got the congee and pork chasu noodles. It was quite decent.

This is a no frills pretty good Cantonese style cafeteria restaurant. The food is pretty legit for its location. Go to Flushing if you want better. If you’re staying in Times Square it is a better than good option if youre hankering for some specific dim sum, honestly, basic over rice or noodle soup offerings.

Quick bite before leaving NYC and just came across Dim Sum Sam! No wait for a table, and only a short wait for food to come out after ordering. The team member at the front was really friendly!
They had the heat on because it was cold outside, but it got really hot having to sit under it while eating. My food actually kind of came out cold/not warm, but tasted good + the iced tea was also good. The beef stew was also cold and wasn’t that good unfortunately. My boyfriend’s ramen and dumplings were hot and he liked them!
Overall worth it for a quick/okay priced meal!

From outside, this place looks small. But to our surprise, it is not. There is seating in the back for your to dine in and enjoy your meal.
We got the wonton soup, and it was perfect.

Clean. Spacious interior. Food is available quick and tasty. I came here 3 times in a row for the span on my trip here.
I tried duck rice plate, wonton soup, shrimp dumplings. Everything was great! Would be back to try out more items!

Really rude and unkind woman working at the counter. I accidentally picked up the wrong order tray and she rolled her eyes and gave me a complete attitude. I now understand why they have high reviews bc they are incentivizing customers to leave 5 star reviews in order to get free drink. I find the model highly problematic bc the reviews are not reflective of actual service and food. My noodle soup was also lukewarm when it came out.
