Jing Fong on the Upper West Side serves up Hong Kong-style dim sum with a cozy vibe, perfect for a fun brunch or quick bite.
"NYC dim sum staple Jing Fong, owned by Ming Lam and his son Truman Lam, opened its first location nearly 40 years ago in Chinatown and expanded to the Upper West Side in 2017. Now the behemoth Elizabeth Street branch is closed, replaced by a smaller Centre Street location. The UWS branch still hoists the torch high, with a menu that highlights noodles and dim sum, along with a limited collection of classic stir-fries." - Robert Sietsema
"The original Jing Fong is a classic dim sum destination up a flight of escalators in Chinatown. And while that lower Manhattan dining room has unfortunately closed, Jing Fong does have a second location on the UWS at 78th and Amsterdam. Stop by and get some siu mai, beef ribs, and sticky rice for dinner. This place is significantly smaller than the huge downtown location - but it still has plenty of patio tables where you can reenact the Lady and the Tramp pasta scene with pan-fried noodles." - nikko duren
"Ming Lam and Truman Lam’s original Jing Fong shuttered in Chinatown earlier this year, but the Upper West Side location remains open, serving up Hong Kong-style dim sum just a few blocks away from the Beacon Theatre. Expect barbecue pork buns, har gow, siu mai, fried turnip cakes with shrimp and pork, as well as classic dishes like lo mein, fried rice, mapo tofu, and snow pea leaves with fresh garlic." - Ryan Sutton
"Opened in 2017, this elegant Upper West Sider offers the usual dim sum late into the evening, some of it innovative but most of it standard. Platings are lush, and there are mixed drinks, too, making it a popular destination for a quick bite or for group brunches." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
"Jing Fong is serving their classic dim sum at some nice-looking wooden tables outside at 78th and Amsterdam. We especially like the siu mai, fried taro, and bacon-wrapped shrimp during their weekend dim sum, but you can also get some pan-fried noodles and sesame chicken for dinner." - hannah albertine
