A Chinese diner in Chinatown, need to try and experience. Food Cantonese, was good but nothing special. Would go back and try some other dishes, but not on top of my list. Stop by check it out, does get busy which is a good sign.

Known for its traditional Cantonese comfort food, Mee Sum serves up hearty meals with most dishes under $10. It’s a no-frills, nostalgic diner-style spot that locals have cherished for generations.
During my visit, Hing Jea, Mee Sum’s manager who has been working there for over 20 years, made everyone feel right at home. She warmly greeted customers like old friends. She even treated my boyfriend a free lemon ginger drink.
The restaurant is small, but they serve a variety of food like dim sum, congee, steamed rice, and zongzi.
We got their most famous toisan style salted chicken rice. The ginger scallion sauce was best enjoyed with rice. The chicken had many bones but it was still delicious.
The skin of the har gaw was a little bit dried out. I guessed their dim sum has been sitting in the steamer since early morning, as they open at 5 or 6 am every day.

Mee Sum Cafe feels like a time capsule — humble exterior, bustling interior. We ordered the har gow (shrimp dumplings), siu mai, pork ribs, and minced beef with egg rice. Everything tasted fresh and handmade, especially the siu mai and pork ribs — savory, juicy, and not greasy at all.
We were a bit disappointed by the milk tea (too watery), but overall, for under $30 for two people, it’s a steal.
Perfect for a quick, no-frills dim sum fix with old-school vibes.

My second time patronizing them in new york city chinatown. The salted chicken rice is damn damn good. Will definitely get them again when im back in newyork. The meicai kou rou is decent and the steamed pork spareribs is exceptional too! The flavour is marinated enough and the meat is soft. Prices for meesum is absolutely fair and please head over if you are around the vicinity. They have been here for a very long time if you look at the furnishings in the store. Highly recommended for e fresh food and old school vibes! 🙂

We passed by on our way home and found this empty restaurant. The rice was light with a touch of salt from the fish. While the small fish slices were decent, the pork patty was rather bland.
The portion is sufficiently filling

This is old Chinatown! No frills lunch counter, cash only, delicious food. Came here for a Sunday comedy show which was great. During the week this is a regular breakfast and lunch counter where OG neighborhood folk come for authentic, cheap quick bites. They are embracing these special events now too to keep up with rising rents.
The sauteed cauliflower and the salted chicken were so incredibly delicious. The congee was extra tasty. Bao and dumplings were so good too. I need to come back again. Hope Mee Sum stays for a long time

This place all about food as utility. Nothing fanciful. Its basic value for money. Food choices are mostly a mix of basic cantonese diner style staples. The taste isnt bad but its not really anything to recommend either.
Rice dumplings, rice rolls, porridge, pork and shrimp dim sum dishes were slightly below average. The grilled fish was expensive $13 for a 9 inch grilled fish. Taste wise, its fine. Nothing to write home about.
For the curious who wants to experience a typical Hong Kong diner feel, this is probably one of the last places in Chinatown to do it.

Hole in the wall old style plain store but love the 100% authentic traditional “zongyi” sticky rice wrapped in leaf. They sell different varieties very excited they offer the “extra ingredient” one with egg yolk. Very fresh & yummy can’t wait to revisit for more! Please never stop making this.

2/14/22 – – Old-school, no-frills dim sum and lunch cafe. Cash-only which is totally fine. These are traditional owners. Many locals hang out here for daily get togethers.
Sit at the counter to get a good experience of what it feels like to be in Hong Kong .

Old school dim sum place, probably been around for a while. Quality is not there, a bit disappointed. Buns were hard, siu mai were dried, and the beef meatballs have no taste.
Also, they overcharged me $2.75.
