Late-night Cantonese dim sum by kiosk near Times Square
Grab a tray of Cantonese dim sum after a Broadway show, order at a kiosk, and eat past midnight in Midtown.
🥟 The Kiosk Routine
The system here is refreshingly direct. You tap your order into a kiosk, pay, and wait for your number before carrying a tray to one of the wide, orderly tables, where a seat tends to open up even at the busy hours. The kitchen cooks to order, and the har gow arrives translucent while the wonton soup turns up bright with greens. Regulars build a tray around Cantonese comfort classics like roasted duck and pork with thousand-year-egg congee, then add a few baked salt egg and taro buns to share. The egg tarts, set with a soft custard, are worth the small splurge at two-something apiece. It sits on West 40th Street, a short walk from Times Square, and the doors stay open from eight in the morning until half past midnight. Come after a matinee, or slip in before the late crowd for handcrafted dim sum without the wait.
