Delicious all vegan dim sum in the heart of Chinatown.
Restaurant, Coffee/Tea/Juice
This place is ridiculous (ly good). For those of us veggies who once tasted dim sum but never got to return to this realm of delight because of its unavoidable meaty potential, this is your dream come true. Great prices. Astoundingly yummy selections. If you choose to order from the non-dim sum menu, this will do you well, too. My favorite: Treasure Balls. (Don't ask, don't tell.)
Please note it is CASH ONLY

Super yummy! The turnip cakes kick butt and the mock pork buns are unbelievable.

The dim sum at Vegetarian Dim Sum House is one of the best deals in Manhattan. For $14/person (including tax and tip!), my three friends and I were able to each get a fresh fruit bubble tea, along with steamed "pork" buns, treasure balls, red bean cakes, faux shrimp dumplings, fried bananas, spring rolls, faux shark dumplings, half moon pockets and a few other items that I'm forgetting. Everything is vegan except for the mango pudding and the milk bubble teas.
The food was amazing. I've never had a more realistic faux shrimp. My favorite dishes were the "pork" buns, the red bean cakes and the fried bananas. There was so much food that the four of us could barely finish it. The only disappointment is that a few of the dim sum items were gone by the time that we arrived (at 8:30 PM) so make sure that you get there early!
