![]() ![]() to finally get 4 dishes which by the way were overpriced, did not meet typical Dim Sum fare quality from other Chinese restaurants. (Isn't that the point?, Dim Sum dishes are ready for consumption because they are rolling their carts by your table? (Hmmm, did they forget how this works?!!)ġ0) Basically, waited 45 min. ![]() Never have I ever had to wait this long for Dim Sum food. This was done in front of other patrons, in a rude manner.ĩ) Still hopeful, asked the waiter, if I was lucky to get their attention to order from them. They passed us like we were invisible!Ĩ) Finally fed up, got up to one of these Dim Sum cart servers only to be yelled at for getting up and asking for something to eat Totally embarrassed after being chastised by a cart server! Someone say, money grab? Seriously, on a hot and humid day, who wants to drink a hot tea? This was presumptuous! Water wasn't even offered or brought over, knowing everyone was overheated at this point in the game.ħ) We obviously were tough to see in this corner so we never were approached by the Dim Sum cart servers. (So close in proximity that you can hear their entire conversation!) Observation: they were forced to take a second plate of Chinese broccoli from the menu when they were already given a dim sum version of the same dish!) Not sure where the miscommunication error was there!) They looked peeved, but took it anyway believing it was their fault!?Ħ) Warning: A mandatory $1.00 per person charge is added to your bill for tea and sitting at a table. Appeared joyful that we were foolish enough to return.ĥ) We are seated in a tight corner, obviously beside the 2 guests who got our table. They have no idea how to gage the wait time!Ĥ) Seating manager sort of apologizes and realizes their error. ![]() Where does one begin? This was our personal experience:ġ) Had to wait for over 25 min for a table for 2Ģ) Walked outside because the waiting area is ridiculously small: cramped liked sardines and no where to stand on a hot, humid day.ģ) Only to return after 25 mins that our table had been given away 10 mins. Wish we had seen the honest reviews written prior to eating at this terrible restaurant. If the serving staff does this, that's absolutely shameful!! Never considered this since we don't look for it. the terrible service except for the "profiling comment". Upon reading a similar review to mine, it was pretty much the sameĪbout. It was alright, not great! Below standard Dim Sum quality. Food was not exceptional as some reviewers claim. Very surprised at the positive reviews here.

If you want to skip the line, recruit three or more people so you can make a reservation. Nom Wah is worth going to with a small group at least once. But there aren’t too many other places in the city where you can eat soup dumplings in a retro diner that doubles as a historical landmark. They could turn up the flavor, and a couple plates will inevitably be a bit overcooked. Instead, Nom Wah has a super casual diner feel with chrome barstools and waiters skirting around red booths.Ĭompared to the rest of your dim sum options in Chinatown, the food at Nom Wah is average. There are no big banquet tables and pushcarts. But despite it being the first, you won’t find the classic dim sum experience here that you’ll get at a place like Jing Fong (where the line is also much, much longer). Nom Wah has been open since the 1920’s and claims to be the city’s first dim sum restaurant. We suspect that the perpetual line outside of Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown has more to do with its history than the actual dumplings inside. ![]()
