"Verdict: Two years. We waited over two years, from the time they announced their expansion, for this Taiwanese dim sum empire to open in NYC. Was it worth it? Sure. Our colleagues have reviewed other locations, so there weren’t many surprises. The soup dumplings are delicate and well-executed, and the cucumbers in chili oil are as refreshing as ever. If anything, it’s the glamorous subterranean room that’s the star. If you run here, we understand. But maybe just wait until the crowds die down." - bryan kim
