Cantonese

Imperial Treasure

Fantastic Cantonese dim sum, Michelin star restaurant. Not cheap, but if you go at lunch and just have dim sum, it’s still not that expensive. For dessert, I love their 样子甘露豆腐花. Good for a Saturday or Sunday lunch.

Jade Garden

This Hong Kong chain has several locations and serves very good quality, authentic Cantonese style dim sum in the afternoons. In the evening, the focus is on more substantial dishes, both in size and price bracket.

Han Lin Xuan

This place serves very authentic Cantonese dim sum on the 5th floor of Times Square on Huaihai Road. A bit more traditional than some of the other recommended places, with less of the modern takes on classic dishes, but a solid choice nonetheless.
