Nom Wah Tea Parlor
4.2 (5,341)restaurant
4.2 (5,341)A historic Chinatown landmark serving classic dim sum in a vintage diner setting that dates back over a century.
Description
Located on Doyers Street, the restaurant pairs its mid-20th-century nostalgia with a drink menu of tea, beer, and wine. Diners can expect portion-rich, reasonably priced dishes, though some find the food quality inconsistent or overly oily, and long lines are common. Keep in mind that the establishment is strictly cash-only. Because of cross-contamination risks during preparation, diners with celiac disease should not dine here.
