Favorite Dim Sum!
My friends and I often come here for Dim Sum, and we LOVE it. It's such a great experience, the food is amazing, and it's so affordable! Whenever we've gone with between 4 - 8 people we've had more than enough food and never paid more than $10 per person (with tax + tip!). Yes the service can be a bit pushy, but it's not too bad. My favorite dishes are the shrimp dumplings and the roast pork buns - delish!!! The place gets PACKED on weekends so I recommend coming during the week if possible. Mmmm now I'm in the mood for roast pork buns!!

Will be back!
My boyfriend and I trekked to Chinatown from the UWS for our first Dim Sum experience. The yummy aroma from the restaurant lured us in the front door. After overcoming the language barrier our experience was great, and we will definitely be back. The food was tasty and new for us, and we were stuffed when we left. We went in the afternoon and there were only two carts serving (which was adequate as the place was pretty empty at that time). The waiter mentioned that it is best to come before 3PM as there are more food options then.

crazy experience!
Worth the trip. Like China only closer. Food carts galore, unrecognizable foods. Put on your Harrison Ford hat and jump in.

If this is the best - don't bother with dim sum in NYC
This place is a joke...the service is rude, the place is dirty and overcrowded, 2 carts going around for 100 people..tastless hargow, sumai was dry, nor-my-guy had no pork, no bean curd dishes, deep fried fare that you would find at a mall court. Some dishes were $5, true dim sum is slow, hot, fresh and has variety at a reasonable price with great service.....skip it your not missing out on the experience because one does not exist

good food
The service can most definitely improve, and the atmosphere is sometimes chaotic, but the food is excellent, and the price is great! I went with a group of 7 people, and after we stuffed ourselves for lunch, came back with a bill of $70 (without tip). Great cheap eats!

Interesting Experience
Never having experienced Hong-Kong style dim sum restaurant, my boyfriend and I trekked over to Jing Fong to see what the buzz was about. The restaurant, definitely unimposing from the outside, opens up to an enormous floor filled with tables of people eating dim sum. It took a while for us to get a table (not sure if it was a misunderstanding or if they didn't feel rushed to seat a party of two). Once we sat down, the parade of food started. The food was definitely unique, if not quite always good. From what I understand, Chinese people like food that gives a certain "mouth-feel". For those not into foods with different textures, these foods might be a little unsettling. I had a scallop cake/pudding that seemed to slime around in my mouth. Appearance also seemed a secondary consideration to taste. A number of dishes I had to close my eyes to eat. While the food was decent, it was not memorable (which is disappointing since I've generally enjoyed dim sum restaurants). Jing Fong is a great place to visit, but I doubt I would go back again.

Great for Dim Sum
We went there for Dim Sum brunch on a Sunday with a group of 8. It was full but we didn't have to wait for a table. The food was excellent, and they offered a big choice of dishes. The portions were large and the carts came around frequently. The best part of the meal was the bill, when we were astonished to discover that feast cost us less than $10 per person. Best Chinatown Dim Sum I've been to thus far.
