Me and my friend stopped by SunShine for some dim sum today. Good thing that they have additional seats downstairs because it was super crowded. I love the ladies that pushing those carts around the floor but unfortunately we sat downstairs and it was super tight. I suggested to be seated at the table at the inner corner so no one is running into our chairs.
There was one lady carrying a tray of different dim sum dishes. We pointed, asked what it was, and placed orders since we didn't see it.
– Har Gow *frequent order it*
– Salted Taro Gow *very yummy and interesting if it had meat, I didn't taste much of it*
– Pork Shu Mai (2) *frequent order it*
– Fung Zao (Chicken Feet) *never eaten *
– Spare Ribs with black beans *frequent order it*
– Tripe *frequent order it*
– Black Sesame Pan Fried *interesting and a different taste which it was a tad bit sweet*
– Cheong Fan (rolled rice noodles) topped with spare ribs *mmmmm I like it*
Wow if you ask the lady to repeat herself, damn her tone changes to yelling. It was very tasty and inexpensive.
This dim sum joint is a hidden gem. Go here over Jing Fong and Golden Unicorn if you want real value and no wait. Well the wait can accumulate but my fiancé and I came around 11am on a Sat and were seated right away. The restaurant isn't big, and we wished our favorites like the turnip cake and tofu fan were readily available but we didn't stay long either.
We had the typical tasty crystal shrimp, veggie dumplings, shrimp rice rolls (they have them
with the Chinese congee bread here which is a plus), really good sticky rice, fresh and cheap greens (ordered from menu – normally a premium at most places). Think that was all.
We also saw but didn't get : char siu Bao, all the sweets that are fried, plenty of Chinese ordering chow mein etc and other stuff from the menu, congee, trip (bleh) and other usual stuff.
Definitely recommend. Seems to be popular among the locals. Our meal came to just over $20.
It was a 40min wait at jin fong so we decided to give this new place a try, although we had to seat with 2 other parties which I'm so not use to considering u sometimes get the awkward stares but it wasn't too bad, it's a push cart place and be prepare to get off ur butt and get the freshly made dim sum that came out of he kitchen, we ordered 4 dishes and all came out to $10.60, pretty good deal, service is quick to get ur empty plate, it's not as rush rush as other dim sum places so take your time and enjoy the atmosphere
Came here for family banquet. Review rating is for food quality. Typical Chinese restaurant decor and service in Chinatown. The food itself is pretty good in general. We had the typical banquet dishes and they were delicious. Only problem was the steak dish was very salty. It was mostly the sauce and not the meat. As for the service. They were friendly but the pace which the food came out was super slow! Normally when a plate is almost finished the next plate will come out. That night, a plate will be finished and there will be over 5-10 minutes before the next plate. Oh well, being Chinese you get used to substandard service.
Sooo Sunshine had moved from Bowery to Division. The dim sum was always good and inexpensive! So we came by and while it was very tasty – the variety of the good that was coming around was lacking. There were huge waits for some of the more popular dishes and less popular dishes hung out on the carts and when ordered they were almost forgotten about.
But what they did do well they did very well! A set of Tripe, the chicken feet, and a few other things were all very tasty. Food was all very flavorful and i just wish there was more other things floating around instead mostly the most popular items.
– my go-to dim sum place, take my nana every weekend (weather permitting)
– one of the cheapest places in chinatown for (sit down) dim sum
– good to great fare, not always consistent but never bad
