Come check out why the NY Daily News just ran a two page profile on Nom Wah Tea Parlor. Nom Wah Tea Parlor was originally opened in 1920, making it New York City's oldest dim sum parlor. Located in the heart of Chinatown, Nom Wah is quickly becoming a "must-go" destination. The space was recently remodeled, but managed to keep all of its old world charm that has kept it alive & buzzing for...
Nom Wah Tea Parlor claims to have the longest running dim-sum shop in NYC and since 1920 this restaurant has been serving these delectable little dumplings at this address. For a bit of history, this storefront is located on the Bloody Angle , one of the city's most notorious alleys in which many Chinese gangs shed blood throughout the 19th Century. Despite the mayhem which then existed, today,...
Opened in 1920, it can credibly claim to have been the first dim sum joint in Chinatown. Today, after the gentlest of renovations, it has dispensed with metal carts and serves dim sum made to order. Everything tastes fresh, and the young new proprietor, a nephew of the previous owner, has thoughtfully preserved the old-time look and feel: yellow walls, red leather booths, red-and-white-checked...
You may "need Google Maps" to find it, but it's worth seeking out this "quintessential" Chinatown parlor for its "dazzling array" of "real-deal", "made-to-order" dim sum; around since 1920 but recently "revitalized", it gets a "bravo" for its "fire-sale prices" and newly added wines and beers.
Sip tea, eat chicken feet, and catch a Knicks game at Chinatown's original dim sum parlor, where Westerners and Chinese have bumped elbows since 1927. A recent facelift stole much of its former Fu Manchu charm, but food's the focus, with dumplings, spring rolls, and turnip cakes eliciting yelps of pleasure. Location on the infamous Bloody Angle of Doyers Street, where clashes between Tong Gangs...
There aren't many remnants of the old Chinatown of the early 20th century -- in fact, there is only one that I can think of, this ancient tea house and dim sum parlor. The facade is perfectly preserved and much of the interior; but sadly few of the old dishes come with it. That said, this is a must-visit for lovers of old New York.
A throwback to yesteryear, Chinatown's oldest dim sum establishment features comfortable and roomy booths and homey service. The food, while nothing to write home for, is served with grace and flair.
We found a hint to get here in one of useful online recommendations. I consider myself a fan of dim sum, but I never had that good food before. Variety of buns in menu makes great impression and it is very reasonable when it comes to pricing. On the house we were served some grean vegetables with sauce that I'm totally not familiar with. Looked like mix of brocoli and asparagus, was very tasty...
Love this place. Nice broad selection of Dim sums at affordable price. Also lovely retro Asian cafe-like atmosphere.
We waited for 1.5 hours. Totally worth it. We could have been standing in a blizzard the whole time without coats on and this would still be a five star rating. Having never done Chinese food on...
Decided to go to Nom Wah Tea Parlor for lunch on my birthday the other day. There was a short wait, but we were seated pretty quickly. Inside the restaurant is so cute. It looks like an old school...
More like 3.5 stars. Ambiance: Very basic and a little noisy. Service: Friendly and attentive. Food: Very good. Excellent versions of the "usual suspects". The soup dumplings were especially...

Nom Wah Tea Parlor first opened at 13-15 Doyers Street back in 1920 as a bakery and a tea parlor. For most of the 20th century, Nom Wah Tea Parlor served as a neighborhood staple offering fresh chinese pasteries, steamed buns, dim sum and tea. Nom Wah hasn't gone through much changes thru the years. Its vintage looks, good food and great value has kept generations of families coming back.
Pushing 90, the oldest tea parlor in Chinatown has the faded wooden tables and cracked red vinyl booths to prove it. The tasty Ha Gow (shrimp dumplings), Shew My (pork dumplings) and Char Shew Bow (Roast Pork Buns) will quench a lot more than your thirst. Keep in mind that though the tea menu is short, this spot is a neighborhood veteran, not the most versatile.
Nom Wah Tea Parlor is a Chinese, Dim Sum, and Tea restaurant where most Menuism users came for fun with friends, paid between $10 and $25, and tipped more than 18%.
Nom Wah Tea Parlor focuses on preparing Chinese food.
