Dim sum, Cantonese seafood, Peking duck, and BBQ pork buns
"We don’t know why so many Chinese restaurants are named after American television networks, but that’s the last thing on our mind whenever we’re at CBS Seafood, a Chinatown favorite that for Cantonese roast meats and dim sum. There’s a window full of delicious Peking duck up front, followed by a busy to-go counter, followed by one of the grander dining rooms in town. It seats close to 200 people, complete with gleaming brass columns, turquoise chairs, and red tapestries on the wall. Come here on a Sunday morning, or really any morning, for a fantastic brunch—load up your table with shiny metal tins filled with fresh sticky rice, scallion dumplings, and braised bean curd." - kat hong
"In a white, nondescript building in Chinatown stamped in curly blue letters, you’ll find ABC Seafood, an extravagant Hong Kong-style restaurant serving dim sum, barbecued meats, and of course, seafood. It’s a place to bring hard-to-impress friends, or yourself, whenever you’re in need of dumplings. The golden order here ideally combines their best dim sum: shrimp har gow, a few baked BBQ pork buns, shumai wrapped in bright yellow paper, and soup dumplings. The dough is a bit thicker than that of other xiao long baos, but it’s the perfect addition to any picnic basket or brunch order." - kat hong
"At 700 N. Spring Street in Chinatown, CBS Seafood—opened in 1999—has teamed up with Mama Lu’s Dumpling House to offer a more robust menu that mixes Mama Lu’s soup dumplings, beef rolls, spicy wontons, and scallion pancakes with CBS’s Cantonese hits and dim sum; the Chinatown stalwart has extended its hours to 8 a.m.–9 p.m. daily to accommodate an evening crowd amid a rapidly changing neighborhood." - Cathy Chaplin
"We don’t know why so many Chinese restaurants are named after American television networks (although to be fair, we also don’t fully understand how zippers work, so maybe that’s on us). But that’s the last thing on our mind whenever we’re at CBS Seafood, a Chinatown institution that, despite the name, specializes in BBQ meats and dim sum. There’s a window full of delicious, roasted Peking duck at the front, followed by a busy to-go counter, followed by one of the most opulent dining rooms in town. It seats close to 200 people, complete with gleaming brass columns, art deco turquoise chairs, and red tapestries on the wall. Come here on a Sunday morning, or any morning really, for a fantastic brunch—load up your table with shiny metal tins filled with fresh sticky rice, scallion dumplings, and braised bean curd.

"A longtime Chinatown dim sum haunt favored by a partner’s family, highlighted for pork shumai and BBQ pork buns and presented as a nostalgic, family-oriented reference point for introducing someone to dim sum." - Chris Crowley
