in Chinatown.
A short comparison of three restaurant sources, with the details that affect a visit: address, published hours and how to check the menu.
Public sources checked October 10, 2026
Nom Wah: party size changes the plan
The restaurant lists daily hours of 11 AM to 9 PM. Its reservation rules specify parties of three to five on Monday through Thursday via Resy; parties of two are walk-ins. Read those rules before assuming that any available table can be booked online.

Golden Unicorn: check the day
The website lists a 9 AM opening on Saturday and Sunday and 10 AM on weekdays. It presents itself as a Cantonese restaurant with dim sum service. Those whole-restaurant hours do not establish when every dim sum item is available.

Dim Sum Go Go: the Chinatown address
The site lists 5 East Broadway, 212-732-0797 and daily hours of 11 AM to 9 PM. It links to a separate Chinatown menu and describes dishes as made to order. Use the address-specific menu when checking an item.

A useful comparison before leaving
- Compare the same dish names, not only photographs.
- Check whether the stated hours cover dim sum service or the whole restaurant.
- For a group, read the restaurant’s actual booking rules.
- Use published menu prices at the time of ordering; platform and dine-in prices can differ.
