" Dim Sum Sam is a restaurant that you have to visit if you are nearby. I enjoyed their spicy dumplings and the fried rice was quite filling. The seating was casual, and while it got a bit busy, the staff managed well. The pricing is fair for what you get and I would say it’s worth the visit for anyone who enjoys good dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had quite a few experiences at Dim Sum Sam and I have to say, it's a real delight. The variety in their menu is fantastic and the turn-around time for the food is impressive. The roast duck was flavorful and tender. The self-service aspect is usually manageable, although on busy days it could use some additional staff to help. Overall, a solid spot for authentic Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a bit of a mixed experience at Dim Sum Sam. The food was definitely delicious, especially the roasted pork, which was so tender and juicy! However, the service left something to be desired. Our order took longer than expected to come out and when it did, some items were lukewarm. The dining area was clean, and the ambiance was nice, I just wished the service was a bit more attentive. Overall, I would still recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing like enjoying a steaming bowl of wonton noodle soup on a chilly day! I came to Dim Sum Sam based on a friend's recommendation, and I was not disappointed. The wontons were perfectly made, and the broth was comforting. I also tried their char siu rice, which was flavorful and filling. The service was relatively quick but felt a bit rushed. Overall, a lovely spot with authentic dishes at a good price! " (*Curated Review*)

" To sum up my experience at Dim Sum Sam: delightful and authentic! The crispy fried dumplings were out of this world. I took a little longer to decide what to order because everything looked good. Staff were friendly, and I loved the self-order format! I’ll certainly be stopping by again when I'm back in NYC. My only complaint is that it can get a bit crowded, but that’s a sign of a good eatery, right? " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has a tradition of enjoying dim sum on Sundays, and we were thrilled to find Dim Sum Sam this past weekend! Their variety was impressive and everything we ordered felt fresh. 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*)
