Website Directions 212-962-6047

Operating on Chinatown's historic Doyers Street since 1920, Nom Wah Tea Parlor is New York City's oldest dim sum restaurant. Unlike traditional cart-style dim sum halls, dishes here are cooked to order from a checklist menu in a charming vintage setting. Guests can enjoy classic steamed buns, dumplings, and loose-leaf teas in this beloved neighborhood staple.

Quick tip: Make a reservation online in advance or visit during weekday mornings to avoid long weekend wait times.
