"Chinatown’s location of mini-chain Dim Sum Palace is a certified scene even at 3am. Everybody seems to be celebrating something over shredded duck spring rolls, and salted egg yolk buns. If you're looking for a fun sit-down meal at this hour, there is no better choice. In lieu of cart service, they offer a la carte ordering. So get some har gow and eavesdrop on a drunken late-night date." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah
"Unlike its late-night Chinatown sibling on Division Street, this location of Dim Sum Palace only stays open until 10 p.m. But it is an ideal pick for group dining, especially without a reservation. Find Cantonese dim sum classics here like shrimp shumai dumplings, rice rolls, and more." - Eater Staff
"Hours: 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily There are more than 50 kinds of dim sum on the menu at Dim Sum Palace, a small chain whose location in Manhattan Chinatown stays open until 3 a.m. every night. Before the pandemic, the neighborhood was packed with late-night restaurants. Now, it’s one of the few places to serve food past midnight. Pick among barbecue pork buns and roast duck spring rolls, or order larger plates to share, like whole lobster with ginger and scallion or snails with celery and hot peppers." - Luke Fortney, Robert Sietsema
"Dim Sum Palace, related to the Dim Sum Sam chain of Cantonese restaurants, set down on Division Street not long ago, helping revitalize the Chinatown banquet scene. Open from 10 a.m. till the wee hours, seven days a week, it’s one of the only late-night venues in the neighborhood. The list of dim sum is expansive — though not rolled around on carts — and many Hong Kong and Cantonese specialties are available, such as fish maw soup and fried flounder with scallions and ginger." - Robert Sietsema
"Dim Sum Palace (with multiple locations) offers a 200-seat dining room with big tables near a window overlooking Division Street, and a screen with an aquatic scene in the back as well as enormous fish tanks. The menu runs the gamut, from fried rice with crab, Beijing duck, steamed whole fish, sausage with lotus root, and so on. Open late." - Eater Staff, Beth Landman
