Tri Dim Shanghai West [UWS] Restaurant and Bar 鼎豐

Great Dim Sum and really good Lychee Martinis. Was walking by and had a craving for dim sum. This atmosphere is lovely and the staff were so friendly. Steamed dumplings were excellent. They were light and so tasty. Truly authentic upscale Chinese food. Happy Hour 3-6 with great pricing.

Walked into this place on a weekday evening and it was silent. Like, “library with no books” silent. Service was lightning fast though—blink and your food's there. Portions? Respectable. Taste? Ehh… it exists. Not bad, not amazing, just kind of there. Like the background music in an elevator. Not mad I went, not in a rush to go back either. 🥢📉

Great tasting food at a reasonable price for the location. Our waitor was very attentive and gave our son some ice cream with a candle on top for his birthday and helped sing the happy birthday song with a smile. Food portions are perfect for sharing (our usual method of eating out family style). I left feeling satisfied and content.

Tri Dim Shanghai West [UWS] Restaurant and Bar 鼎豐 I choose your restaurant first for any special occasion. We found the location convenient and the experience satisfying. The cooking results in tasty food, uses fresh components, and creates beautiful plates. Diner care exceeds normal standards! Best of luck at this restaurant.

Good food! But no specialty or unique dishes. The menu is very much catered to the UWS customers, but they do their dishes quite well. The pork buns were especially great, and were sweet and perfectly steamed. Service was good. Overall a nice place to have on the UWS, and great for classic (although a bit Americanized) dim sum.

I can't believe this was my first time trying dim sum! Future expectations are set! Our server was incredible! I tried the tri-nut chicken (i don't think that's the official name) based on his recommendation.. great choice! The other person in my party had the Gu-lu pork with pineapple. We also had an order of the turnip shortcakes, pork dumplings, and the duck roll. We both had two alcoholic drinks. The plum wine and lychee martini are a must try! Excited to come back for happy hour! An easy walk from AMNH also.

Fantastic food and great service. I havent had a bad dish yet. Great for both authentic chinese food (from my admittedly non-expert perspective), and americanized comfort food classics. Definitely worth dining in, if you have the time, but it also translates to take-out quite well!

I tried my first Peking duck at this fine establishment on Saturday afternoon. It was outstanding! But what was even better, was the service provided. When my friend and I got pork soup dumping, the Dan Dan noodle and the Peking duck pancakes, our server played everything and it was truly an amazing experience. If I'm ever in the city and craving Sichuan again, I will most definitely return here. Thank you Tri Dim!

I had a craving for dim som so I stopped in here for a late lunch. I was pleasantly surprised when they handed me a happy hour menu. Win win in my book! Peaceful, cozy, warm atmosphere and they serve some really good authentic dim sum. Dim sum is available every day at all meals. Steamed Shumai Shanghai style come 3 to an order - a nice mix of minced pork and sticky rice. Pork Dumplings with Chili Sesame Sauce- this was my favorite. Light steamed dumplings with a nice spicy sauce. Topped off with a Lychee Martini... a perfect vacation lunch!

Tri Dim West is a decent Chinese restaurant in the Upper West Side, serving up a wide variety of Shanghainese, Cantonese, Szechuan dishes. Peking duck and crab meat and pork xiao long bao were the standout dishes. Although we were the only Chinese on the night we visited, we were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of their food. The dining experience was accessible for non-Chinese as they kindly provided chopsticks, forks and food clips. Service was attentive--the server replaced our dropped chopsticks with a new pair, without us even having to ask. The environment is tranquil and spacious compared to other traditional Chinese spots I've been. Perfect for dates and groups (yes, we went there on a date night, and the other customers were mainly couples). ＊Shredded Crispy Duck (Half) 手撕鴨 $33 *** I am not really fond of peking duck, but their meat wasn't too fatty which was spot-on for me. We ordered half and it was the perfect portion for two. ＊Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumpling 蟹粉小籠包 $13 *** While for the xlb, I could actually see and taste the crab meat. The thin wrapper barely held together the rich filling inside. As I took a bite, a burst of rich meat broth spilled out. ＊Rice Cake w. Pork and Pickled Cabbage 雪菜豬肉年糕 $16 ** Shanghai stir-fried rice cake was solid. It absorbed the slightly sweet and salty glaze and contrasted well with pickled cabbage. ＊Szechuan Dan Dan Noodle 四川擔擔麵 $15 The chili oil in the dan dan noodle was flavourful yet we wished it could be spicier. ＊Scallion Pancake 蔥油餅 $9 ＊Shanghai Bean Curd Puff 上海烤麩 $11 ＊Jelly Fish w. Scallion Sauce 蔥油海蜇 $12 The starters we got were delicious. I was amazed by the scallion pancakes as I've tried many underwhelming ones in NYC. Theirs was crunchy with a chewy interior.

Just discovered this excellent UWS restaurant. Susan was very helpful in recommending several Shanghai dishes, including the steamed dumplings and duck rolls. She also makes very good lychee martinis! The HH menu has very good drink and food options.

Susan was very helpful and personable-she made this restaurant a great experience! My brother and I enjoyed Susan's recommendations of steamed pork soup dumplings, chicken Soong served with lettuce and Hoisin sauce, steamed shrimp dumplings, and scallion pancakes. I also recommend the Mandarin Lychee Martini-delicious! I look forward to returning to NYC and enjoying this restaurant again!

We had a great meal here! The wait staff seemed to be very invested in ensuring that our experience was exceptional. We started with soup dumplings, which were tasty, but not really hot enough. Next were delicious Dan Dan noodles. Perfect spice. The crispy shrimp and scallops were delicious, we preferred the shrimp to the scallops. Finally, duck egg rolls, fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Some delicious surprises: The beansprouts with chives was super fresh & succulent braised duck had a lovely light sweetish flavour that worked. The sweet & sour ribs are yummy bite sized chucks. Great crisp batter and wrapped in gorgeous tangy sticky sauce. Pity about bone to meat ration but hight recommended. Disappointments? Have had better Peashoots -- very bland despite the garlic. It was very wet / stewed & chewy. I would have. Nice but personally would have preferred garlic a bit crisper or some chillis / something to bring out the flavours and maybe younger pea shoots? Not tender. Not recommending? The curry Singapore Noodles were average. Not recommending. Large chunky chopped onions & spring onion. Salty egg chunks. Weirdly sweet curry flavour. Decent amount of shrimp. Minuscule bits of diced char sui pork, thickly julienned carrots and overly dry slivers of beef. It was easily worst item ordered (shame as one of my favourite comfort foods). Would have benefited from some beansprouts/ bamboo shoots & less onions -- or a bit of oil? It was super super dry.

Such an authentic spot for the UES - happy to see so many table filled up on a Tuesday night! They have a happy hour from 3-6 that we sadly couldn't make but will def be back to try! My friend and I both loved the crab and pork soup dumplings - thin dumpling skin and hearty meat cooked to perfection. This might be my second favorite, and I've never enjoyed the crab version before this. It's not too fishy tasting. ($13) The pea shoots are another classic and were very tasty and well sautéed ($22) must get! My last favorite was the sautéed beef thick noodles. Really bouncy noodles and the beef was tender. ($17) Other honorable mentions include the braised pork - amazing portion and tender pork with bok choy in the dish too! ($34) Honestly such a gem on the UWS and very decent portions for the price. Amazing service as well!

Doing a fun trip to UWS President's weekend. Wanted to start with some dim sum for a takeout lunch before our museum adventures. Our favorite was the Peking Crispy Duck Roll. Red cooked short ribs a treat but a bit expensive for four relatively small ribs. Other dishes quite reasonable. Enjoyed the Hong Kong Shumai. I was so so on the Steamed Pork Bun. Good sauces, rice, and side of spinach. Phoned in order and all ready as promised. Interior of restaurant pleasant. We haven't had dim sum for a long time, and overall this was tasty with many different textures.

I visited the restaurant with my parents looking for a quick bite to eat and we were all craving Chinese food. I hadn't had good Dim Sum in a while and I was craving dumplings. I ordered shrimp dumplings, a pork bun, a Diet Coke, and a build-your-own bowl where you can choose the vegetables, protein, and sauce that you want. I chose shrimp, sprouts, baby corn, mushrooms, and snow peas with my sauce on the side that I took home later. The food was really good, and my cravings were satisfied. I loved the pork bun in particular because the flavor of the sauce combined with the juicy pork in the center of a delicious bun really made my afternoon. The only reason why I knocked one star off of my review is that they told us they couldn't seat us in the back where we could have more space because "they were doing some work on the back part of the restaurant" which we understood, but later saw them seating other customers. It didn't make any sense to us. Although the seating arrangements could have been more comfortable, the quality of the food and service really made up for it. Our food came quickly, our bill came quickly, and our orders were taken in good time. Given the success of our meal, I would say that I would gladly come to eat here again.

Food is always reliably great!! Customer service is EXTRAORDINARY!! I made a mistake and ordered from their sister store (too many cocktails before placing my online order)!! When I stopped in to pick up my order in person they told me they didn't have it and tracked it down at the other store . . . AND THEN ARRANGED TO HAVE IT DELIVERED TO MY APARTMENT!! It arrived in just 10 minutes!! Very grateful for the professional customer service!! Very nice people!!

Excellent Szechuan cuisine at a very reasonable price point. Attentive wait staff. The Szechuan bouillabaisse was tasty and loaded with fresh seafood.

Great service and great food. We did not wait, but it was early on a cold Saturday. They made a gluten free broccoli and chicken for me.

My friend and I went here for lunch after walking around New York. The place is neat and clean and the staff are friendly. Food: Shanghai Fried Rice, Steamed Shrimp Dumplings and Pan-seared dumplings. It is very filling, it's a little bit of pricey.

We took a party of eight people to this restaurant last night and had an absolutely outstanding experience in every way! The food was fresh and delicious, cooked beautifully and included tableside preparation of our Peking duck and mushu pork for our guests. We ordered probably 15 different dishes and enjoyed them all thoroughly. And the service was excellent as well: very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place!

My new Chinese comfort food spot! Would come here every time I will have dimsum cravings, specifically hakao (steamed crystal shrimp)! It was so plump. I should have ordered another round. I will just come back. Other food we ordered were the wonton soup, the salted egg yolk custard buns, the chicken and broccoli, and the red bean paste shortcake (dessert). The soup was a good start. The buns were really good too. Not too salty, and it had just the right balance of "sweet and salty!" The chicken and broccoli came with one cup of rice, which was enough for me and my husband. The sauce was not as sweet as I expected, which was good! It wasn't overwhelming. We ended with dessert, the red bean paste shortcake. It was served warm/hot, a yummy end to the meal! I made a review on another platform, but this place was so good, I have to share as much as possible!

Great service, but food was disappointing. The waiters are quick and our server Yuki was very friendly and genuine. The dim sum we ordered was just okay. We got pork soup dumplings, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves, and shrimp dumplings. All came out really quickly -- a little too quickly considering they were steamed dishes. - The soup dumplings were not bad. The meat inside was juicy and it, along with the soup, was on the sweeter side. The skin was just the right thickness. I wouldn't recommend getting the Crispy Duck Roll or Scallion Pancakes. The crispy duck roll was dry, and the scallion pancake was like a deep-fried chewy blob of dough and kind of tasted like a taro cake. We also ordered Ants on a Tree and the Yung Chow Fried Rice, both of which looked and smelled better than they actually tasted. The Ants on a Tree was way too salty. The Yung Chow Fried Rice was underwhelming and just tasted like it was missing something -- it wasn't bland, but it wasn't as flavorful as we would've liked. I probably wouldn't return or recommend this place for dim sum. Didn't feel satisfied with the meal.

Found this place as it was close to the natural history museum. We arrive at 5:30 right in time for happy hour which is from 4-6pm. Everything on the happy hour menu is $7 from food to drinks. We ordered a few apps and some cocktails. We were not impressed by the cocktails and would not recommend paying full price for them. All of the dumpling dishes we ordered were undercooked and gummy tasting. I did love the scallion pancake. The service was good; quick and attentive. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Friday evening but did start to fill after we left. I wasn't impressed and wouldn't be back, especially if it wasn't happy hour. Quality was not worth the price!

Great sit-down resto for Chinese food in the upper west side of Manhattan. They serve family style dishes and a "build your own plate" menu. We opted for family style. Dishes: Young chow fried rice- flavorful and generous with shrimp pork and veggies Chicken salted fish fried rice- my favorite and this didn't disappoint. The salted fish was not overpowering and the dish itself had a good umami flavor. Beef and broccoli- a classic dish and seasoned well. Softened beef with bokchoy- comfort food, tender beef with brown sauce similar to beef and broccoli Crispy prawns with crunchy veggies- a great dish! Unshelled prawns, deep fried and topped with crisp peppers, garlic shallots and spices Baby shrimp with garlic sauce- baby shrimp, unshelled, sautéed with brown sauce similar to beef and broccoli. Noodles with minced pork - a spicy vermicelli dish in brown sauce with ground beef and Chinese broccoli. This was a very savory dish and full of flavor. Sesame chicken - an elevated classic take out dish. My son loves the flavor and the chicken was tender. Interior is clean modern and comfortable. Servers are friendly and service is prompt. Would recommend!

Classic chinese, good food, attentive wait staff. Clean and good. Happily recommend. We had yummy appetizers and the classics.

Racist interaction about tipping/getting our food last even tho we came in the restaurant before two other groups of people. Never coming back

Heaven can wait Lucky me living in UWS This is beyond a fabulous Chinese newcomer First the restaurant is beautiful The designer is truly talented Second the sound level is so quiet allow for conversation and relaxing environment The food is prepared in a manner that is exquisite and light Each dish is lovingly prepared and different and delicious I recommend Pork soup dumplings .... move obey Joe's Shanghai The Slippery chicken was flavorful and delicious Yam Chow rice was incredibly light and has the freshest ingredients Service was professional and lovely! Bar made best drinks I can go on and on but I would just try it!! Ellie

Overall ok place. The string beans lacked a lot of flavor and were kinda too wet for me. The pork dumplings 6 were amazing and the best thing we got. Hefty bites. The thick noodles were the second best thing - vegetables. Really good tasty noodles. I had to grab silverware which I was glad I did. But they didn't have napkins in the bag! Blast! That sucked a little. Friendly service. Got it for takeout. Total was about $40. Wouldn't go again. Not bad food; not great food.

Very poor experience. Have not ordered from Tri Dim in a while and was disappointed with how tasteless the food was and how small the portions have become. The ribs had no flavor without the duck sauce. Their vaunted soup dumplings were not very juicy and the slippery chicken was without much zest. Overall, pass this restaurant by, which I am very sorry to say because Tri dim used to be one of my favorite restaurants both the UWs and UES sides.

Foods were really good! Service was good! Environment was warm and clean! Next time I would like to try more kind of foods. And I will recommend this restaurant to my friends and families.

Love this restaurant. Great food. Consistently nice servers. Pleasant decor. My favorites are the soupy dumplings and Peking duck

I am sorry it's hard for me to give 5 stars. The reason is nothing is ever perfect, except the Dumplings at Tri Dim west they are little pillows of love and there rice is almost sheer perfection not to oily and fresh vegetables, sesame shrimp still crispy and most delightful always sauce on the side. The ambiance is quiet and peaceful and the service is fast and polite. The bar has a decent selection. Nobody will go wanting for a good drink and they do have some palatable wines.the one thing I can say there is something for everyone here from the safe dishes to the Jellyfish with scallion sauce. You could go there every day of the week for a year and not have the same thing twice and I sure it will be tasty. One of the best things about going to eat here or for take out you can always make your own concoction spice it up switch sauces.also you can get anything vegetarian so do you self a favour east or west go to Tri Dim you wont be disappointed at all.

So mediocre. Overpriced. Panfried dumplings were overcooked and hard. Soup dumplings were fine nothing special General Tzo's had very little sauce, could not pour it on the rice... Speaking of rice, undercooked and crunchy and no I didn't order crispy rice. They served us balsamic vinegar on the side of our meals instead of soy sauce very bizarre.

We found this place after a hungry search for dim sum. It was an enjoyable experience with staff who were fine to take order but have plenty of privacy. The food was tasty in the dim sum and worth getting. We also got a General Tso chicken which frankly was not that special, not bad just not worth getting. The place is cute and welcoming with nice decorating

First boujee dim sum place I've been to! Definitely not your traditional "dim sum" experience with the servers strolling around with carts of food, but still, the food was amazing served normally. I honestly wouldn't really consider this dim sum, since we just order smaller dishes straight from a menu, but that's okay; I think they wanted to keep the restaurant as less busy as possible. The food was all extremely good. We ordered pan fried chicken dumplings, a scallion pancake, duck rolls, steamed pork buns, and sticky rice. These are all of my favorite Chinese comfort dishes, and I was very very satisfied!! Everything was super affordable; this meal for two people was just a little over $40!! The restaurant itself is super clean and fancy! Upper West Side Dim Sum for ya!! I really really enjoyed this place. Highly recommend since it's also so close to Central Park :)

Delicious food, plenty of traditional dishes to chose from and more good service, nice ambiance.

Amazing dumplings, delicious food. The drinks were tasty as well. I wish we had more time before my meeting, but I will definitely go back again when I am in the neighborhood.

Best dumpling I ever had. Place is really clean and we were so full when we were done. My dad got the Szechuan chicken which was amazing! It is spicy so be careful if you order. I wished I had ordered the same thing. The chicken was fried to perfection. My daughter got the fried noodles which we didn't care for but we ordered it not knowing that it is actually fried crispy like dry noodles. We thought it was stir fried. Overall, great place and I hope to return some day.

Once again a tremendous meal Tri Dim. Even on Christmas while busy the food was wonderful. We love this restaurant and don't rush to go to Chinatown since we have this wonderful restaurant in the UWS.

I was still hungry after the order. I did not feel it was worth the money I spent. The food was meh. DoorDash delivery made it easy and based on the reviews we thought it was a good place. But I ordered steam shrimp translucent dumplings (there were 4 small ones for $9) and Sautéed Vegetable delight for $15. Total with tax and delivery was $26.13. The vege w rice dish was in a white sauce and there was a decent variety of veges (carrot, broccoli, thin mushrooms, bamboo shoot, and watercress) but definitely not enough. The container was the shallow one and it was only half filled. This was not a lunch special portion but there was really hardly any food. I was hungry and ate it in record speed bc there was so little food I forgot to take a pic but I took a pic of the containers washed to be recycled. The dumplings were good but they were about 1.25" wide and just 4 for $9. We were so hungry after this meal. Veges don't cost anything to fill up the shallow container more than half the container. I hope they give more food for the next customer. But I won't be coming back sorry. The rice was good and not gooey...it was fresh and not sticky.

Excellent food. One of the best Chinese places on the UWS. The beef and broccoli is fantastic

My family had a couple of very tasty meals at this place and would gladly return. The cautions: menu is slightly limited. The place can get pretty loud, so if there's a hearing impaired person in your dining party make sure you're sitting in a quiet spot. At certain times, they also bring in live music and seating becomes reservation-only. At those times, you may be asked to depart early if you came in without a reservation before the music session began.

Yesterday I placed a delivery order with this restaurant. It is the first and last time they will have my business. The food was very disappointing. The menu looked really interesting and, prior to ordering, I wrote down many items that I wanted to eventually try. After I received my order and tried the food, that list went in the waste basket. I ordered Peking Crispy Duck Roll, Shanghai Wonton Soup, Grand Marnier Prawns and Cold Sesame Noodles. The only thing good about the duck roll was the crispy crust. It had only 2 tiny pieces of duck between the 2 rolls, and the onions inside were not chewable. The broth of the soup was good, and the dumplings were fine, but the tiny piece of pork inside tasted stale. The cold sesame noodles was the best dish, but I would have preferred the cucumber pieces to be a little smaller so that they could be mixed in with the noodles. The Grand Marnier Prawns were not chewable and of poor quality. Most of them ended up in the garbage. The sauce on them was completely bland. The accompanying broccoli, walnuts and rice were okay - $28 for broccoli, walnuts, & rice. Overall it was pretty hard to get much enjoyment out of this food. The only positive was the service. The food arrived very quickly - maybe too quickly. They probably should have taken the time to pay a little more attention to the preparation and quality of the food. I live close to Empire Szechuan and have patronized them for years, but I decided I wanted to branch out and try a different restaurant. That was a big mistake. Empire isn't as good as it used to be, but it is 10 times better than Tri Dim. Empire's cold sesame noodles are very good. The ratings for these 2 restaurants should be reversed.

TDW definitely blew my expectations! I'm slowly doing a tour of the Chinese options scattered throughout the West 60s-80s (Han Dynasty - burn-your-mouth-off Szechuan but the salt and grease always leave me feeling like my stomach's being wrung out; Jing Fong - a hard pass) and, for Mother's Day, my mom put her foot down and said she wanted food from the motherland. TDW has some sidewalk seating available but I actually prefer the room all the way in the back, with a pretty view of the garden backyards. We ordered a ton of food for four people, with more than enough to take back home, and the prices were all extremely reasonable. (1) Xiao long bao. I can't resist these on a menu. The ones here had some nice crabby broth but the wrapper was a little too thick for my taste. (2) Corn, chicken, and egg soup. Kind of an odd combination but this was my go-to childhood soup. I loved pouring this over rice. TDW's version has thinner shreds of chicken rather than chunks. Portion was enough for two people to split. (3) Peking duck. This is an absolute must-get. Almost transported me back to Beijing (well, not quite) but all the accoutrements were there - thin crepe wrappers, slivers of young green onion, sliced cucumbers, the sauce. The waiter even wrapped up a few for us. (4) We went with two veggie dishes - the mixed delight and the pea shoots. A nice injection of green. (5) Spicy beef and green peppers. One of the best renditions of this dish I've had so far and I'm usually a total wimp when it comes to spicy food. This is several notches above American-spicy. The one dish I would probably not get next time is the sautéed fish fillet. I liked the abundance of water chestnuts and mushrooms that came with it but wasn't a fan of the thick, gloopy sauce. Would definitely come back and try their selection of dim sim and cold appetizers.

Sat down at the table, they brought over the pitcher of water and a whole bug poured out into the cup from the water pitcher. Never seen anything like that before. We immediately got up and left. What even.

The best Asian food in NYC! Great delivery! I recently dined in the restaurant and it was magnificent! Great service, terrific atmosphere, nice quiet table. I love this place!

This was a nice choice for dim sum in UWS with a good variety of vegetarian options. I had hot and sour soup, cold vegetable noodles, spring rolls, tofu with thousand-year egg, scallion pancake, and eggplant with garlic sauce. Every dish was delicious! I particularly enjoyed the thousand-year egg with its unique color and texture. The eggplant had the perfect texture - not slimy, but still soft and buttery. I'd highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food, simple and a good neighborhood spot for dim sum. Not the best I've ever had but definitely delicious

Ordered lions head, rice cake, Singaporean fried rice noodle, Xiao long and bean sprouts with chives. Find the dishes too salty and the bamboo in the lions head was bad. Overall food was too salty and waiter was not friendly.

Gorgeous inside, love the ambience , food was delicious, had the lunch special and the ladies restroom is clean too. Friendly staff . I had the ma po tofu with hot sour soup. Don't be foul by outside it is quite spacious . The soup was perfect , however the tofu was a bit disappointing. Not that spicy it was more on the salty side.I think the ma po tofu is vegetarian, I didn't taste any meat. They have soft music in the background playing .

Same menu as East Side location & like atmosphere better there. However nice seating area in back of restaurant with skylight & windows overlooking townhouse gardens. Food is very good & lunch special is great value

Amazing service and family style restaurant. Thanks again! Great scenery and aesthetic.

This place was excellent, and so much fun! I haven't had Chinese food in NYC in so long and Tri-Dim did not disappoint! I highly recommend this restaurant! And their crispy beef was incredible. plus all the dumplings were fantastic as well. It's a must go!

The service was excellent! The seafood dumplings were to die for! But the shrimp and broccoli was an epic fail. I would have taken photos but we felt rushed to eat our reservation was for 8:45pm and they closed at 9:30pm.
