• Go Go Dim Sum

  **Edit**: Those are indeed “Turnip Cakes”… I remember now, because that day I asked for Taro Cakes and the only thing comparable to ‘em were the Turnip Cakes.. It wasn’t bad! Thanks for the many corrections and yes I do need to get some dim sum outside of the U.S. and that giant dumpling was great! haha

  New York City, NY

  Go go gadget? Go go dim sum… lol

  While in New York City, you’ve got to hit up Chinatown and get some good dim sum! (another reason for visiting Chinatown would have to be Joe’s Shanghai and their famous “soup dumplings”) Go Go Dim Sum does sound kinda funny but don’t let the name turn you off… they have pretty darn good dim sum aka chinese tapas! Usually when I go to an Asian restaurant, I look around and see if other Asians are dining there.. I didn’t see many of them at Go Go, so I was a bit weary.. But I trusted my friend’s opinion and stuck with it. This was my journey… haha

  
  Outside near Go Go..

  
  Go Go Dim Sum if you couldn’t tell.. haha

  
  Giant “soup dumpling”

  
  Steam Flour Roll with Shrimp

  
  Braised Chicken Feet

  
  Pan-fried Taro Cakes Turnip Cakes

  
  Shui Mai aka Pork Dumplings

  Sorry for the blurry pictures.. the food is better than the picture.

  
  Har Gow aka Shrimp Dumplings

  
  Deep-fried Sesame Seed Balls

  So there you have it.. Shui Mai.. Har Gow.. Steam Flour Rolls.. Taro Cakes Turnip Cakes.. Chicken Feet.. Sesame Seed Balls and many other items that aren’t pictured. Essentially, Dim Sum is a lower scale version of a multi-course Tasting menu where you get to choose exactly what you want. The dim sum here was above average and since I am coming from a city deprived of good dim sum, my opinion could be slightly skewed. Take that into account but take nothing away from Go Go. The service was ok for a Chinese restaurant and the large tables made it feel almost as if we were not at a NYC restaurant. (which are usually small and crowded)
