Dim sum in Manhattan Chinatown
These three menus give useful comparisons within walking distance of the East Broadway and Doyers Street area. Choose between a single familiar dish, a sampler and different bun preparations.
Nom Wah Tea Parlor
13 Doyers Street, New York, NY 10013
The published food PDF separates pork siu mai, shrimp dumplings, shrimp rice rolls and the house roast-pork bun. The house bun lists pork with caramelized onions.
| Named order | Count printed in source | Published USD price |
|---|---|---|
| Pork siu mai | Not stated | $6.35 |
| Shrimp rice rolls | Not stated | $6.35 |
| House roast-pork bun | Not stated | $5.65 |
Do not use another restaurant's four-piece serving as a Nom Wah portion count.
Dim Sum Go Go
5 East Broadway, New York, NY 10038
The restaurant states that its dim sum is made to order. Its menu is especially useful when planning how many pieces to share: several items give explicit counts.
| Named order | Count printed in source | Published USD price |
|---|---|---|
| Shrimp-pork siu mai | 4 pieces | $7.95 |
| Shrimp rice rolls | 3 pieces | $6.95 |
| Meat-seafood sampler | 10 pieces, one each of 10 varieties | $21.95 |
The sampler is a selection of different dumplings. It is not a ten-piece order of har gow or siu mai.

Golden Unicorn
18 East Broadway, New York, NY 10002
Compare a steamed pork bun with a baked pork bun before choosing by price. They are separate preparations even though the website lists the same price for each.
| Named order | Count printed in source | Published USD price |
|---|---|---|
| Steamed pork bun | Not stated | $7.09 |
| Baked pork bun | Not stated | $7.09 |
| Egg-yolk buns | 3 pieces | $7.09 |
The menu says online and restaurant prices may differ; tax and applicable service charges are excluded. The website does not give a pork-bun count.
- The restaurant offers BYOB with a required service fee, without publishing the amount on its homepage. Source ↗
Dim sum in Brooklyn: Sunset Park or Bay Ridge?
Park Asia and East Harbor are in Sunset Park. E Noodle is farther south in Bay Ridge. Use the exact address when comparing travel plans rather than treating all three as one neighbourhood.
Park Asia
6521 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The PDF assigns a price band to each dish. Both D1 shrimp dumplings and D2 pork siu mai are marked L, priced at $6.00; D13 steamed roast-pork buns are M, priced at $4.80.
| Named order | Count printed in source | Published USD price |
|---|---|---|
| D1 shrimp dumplings / L | Not stated | $6.00 |
| D2 pork siu mai / L | Not stated | $6.00 |
| D13 steamed roast-pork bun / M | Not stated | $4.80 |
L and M are price bands, not piece counts. The undated PDF prints dim sum service from 9am to 2pm daily; confirm that service window before travelling.
East Harbor Seafood Palace
714 65th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220
MICHELIN describes cart service and names siu mai, shrimp rice rolls and black-bean spare ribs. This makes it a useful format comparison with the item-menu examples above.
A current restaurant-owned menu, serving counts and exact prices have not been verified. Whole-restaurant opening hours do not establish the last dim sum order.

E Noodle Brooklyn
8619 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
Choose this menu when you want to compare small plates with noodle or congee orders. Its address-linked ordering page lists four siu mai for $5.50.
| Named order | Count printed in source | Published USD price |
|---|---|---|
| Siu mai | 4 pieces | $5.50 / online order |
This is the checked ordering-site price. A delivery directory can display a different price for the same dish.
Six addresses, three ways to order
The entries cover Chinatown, Sunset Park and Bay Ridge. Menu ordering, made-to-order preparation and cart service are different details: a restaurant can have an item menu without using carts.
| Restaurant / area | Useful menu distinction | Example / published price | Source channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nom Wah Chinatown | Pork siu mai and shrimp rice rolls appear as separate orders. | Pork siu mai / $6.35; count not printed. | Restaurant PDF |
| Dim Sum Go Go Chinatown | Made-to-order dim sum; four-piece dumplings and a mixed sampler. | Shrimp-pork siu mai / 4 for $7.95. | Restaurant website |
| Golden Unicorn Chinatown | Steamed and baked pork buns are separate menu items. | Either pork-bun order / $7.09; count not printed. | Website menu; restaurant prices may differ |
| Park Asia Sunset Park | Dishes use lettered price bands, not lettered portion sizes. | D2 pork siu mai / L / $6.00; count not printed. | Restaurant PDF; issue date not stated |
| East Harbor Sunset Park | Cart service is described by MICHELIN. | Siu mai and shrimp rice rolls named; prices unverified. | MICHELIN listing; no checked current menu |
| E Noodle Bay Ridge | Small dim sum category in a noodle and congee restaurant. | Siu mai / 4 for $5.50. | Address-linked online ordering |
Public sources read October 10, 2026. The PDFs may have been issued earlier. Online ordering, website and printed-menu prices are separate channels. Counts appear only when the source prints them.
Build a first order around three different formats
- One dumpling order: compare har gow with siu mai using the stated filling.
- One bun order: choose steamed or baked char siu bao.
- One rice-roll order: check whether it is plain, filled or wok-fried.
- Then check the count: four dumplings and three rice rolls are different order formats; neither establishes serving weight.
Dim Sum Go Go provides counts for several dishes, while Nom Wah's PDF leaves counts unstated. That difference helps plan an order; it does not prove which restaurant gives a larger meal.
