" Dear food lovers, I recently discovered Dim Sum Sam, and from the first bite, it felt like a culinary trip to Hong Kong! Their BBQ pork was perfectly caramelized and the wontons were delicate. I was waved in by a friend, and I'm glad I experienced this gem in the city. The self-service may not be for everyone, but for someone looking for authentic flavors for an affordable price, it's a hidden treasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Dim Sum Sam was a delightful experience. We visited on a bustling weekend, and though it was busy, the efficiency was impressive. The combinations of flavors in their dishes are incredible! We tasted their BBQ pork and the wonton soup, which both had authentic flavors. The ambiance is simple yet inviting, we really enjoyed our meal despite the self-service setup. Prices are reasonable given the quality of food. I'd certainly come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Dim Sum Sam for brunch with some friends. The atmosphere was lively and the service friendly. I loved trying a few different dim sum dishes, each bringing unique flavors. The shrimp dumplings were fresh and large, which was a pleasant surprise! It’s quite affordable compared to other places I’ve been in NYC. All in all, a delightful place to enjoy authentic dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant experience at Dim Sum Sam, but some dishes could be better. I was excited to try their char siu rice bowl, but it was a bit too fatty for my taste. However, the dumplings I ordered were spectacular! The self-service aspect worked well here, making it easy to grab a quick lunch. It is definitely a cozy spot for a quick meal but I hope they refine their dishes a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The dim sum is consistently fresh, and the staff is really accommodating. I had the pork and century egg congee, which was comforting and delicious. The best part was definitely their egg tarts, fresh out of the oven! Although the service is self-initiated, I appreciate how clean and organized the restaurant is. I will surely be back whenever I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

We especially loved the crispy pork belly and the dumplings. The atmosphere is casual which made it feel like a perfect family spot. We’ll surely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing dim sum experience! The chicken noodle soup was incredibly fragrant, and the dumplings were mouth-watering. The ambiance was peaceful and the decor is quite contemporary, a nice change in this bustling city. I was a bit unsure about the self-service but it actually worked quite well as the staff is friendly and kept everything organized. I am excited to come back next time! " (*Curated Review*)
