pujipie "hot out the oven and ready for some lovin'!"

Yesterday I was in the mood for dim sum and after reading a few reviews we narrowed it down to Sammy’s Noodle Shop & Grill due to it’s close proximity and mass approval ratings. Since I grew up in Southern California I’m a bit spoilt for Asian food and have so far been quite underwhelmed by the places I’ve tried here in NYC. I’m not having any luck picking… suggestions would be appreciated :)

It was too hot to order noodles which I should have done since that’s what they’re known for… instead I opted for a variety of appetizers just to keep me going til dinnertime. I was expecting a small intimate Chinese restaurant but was surprised by the large scale of the place. The service was quite typical of a Chinese restaurant where it’s no-nonsense – you order food it’s delivered within minutes… you eat and then you’re out.

Considering the prices the food was decent. I can see why others like it but it’s definitely not my idea of really good Chinese food. The pork & shrimp shumai was amazing and I would come back just to stuff my face on those! The prices have increased since the menu has been posted on here and I think their dim sum selection is really limited.
