Dim Sum Sam

Dim Sum Sam on the Upper West Side is a casual, counter-service dim sum spot bringing a Chinatown-style menu to the neighborhood, with a focus on quick, affordable Chinese comfort food. It sits on Broadway in the low 90s and is set up for fast dining: you order at the counter or kiosk, then grab a seat in a bright, simple space that works well for a quick solo meal or a low-key bite with friends.

The menu centers on Cantonese dim sum favorites like shrimp dumplings, siu mai, pork soup dumplings, rice noodle rolls, buns, and pan-fried dumplings, alongside roast meats, noodles, and rice plates, so you can mix small plates with more substantial dishes. Portions tend to be generous for the price, making it easy to share a spread of different items and treat it as a casual “tasting” of classic dim sum hits.
