Tri Dim Shanghai Restaurant and Bar 鼎豐 [UES], New York NY

Ordered turnip cakes, XLB, wonton soup and tea. The turnip cakes were shredded turnips inside a fried dumpling. They had no flavor. The XLB had no soup inside! Like they were dehydrated. The wonton soup was fine, and the tea never arrived.

Very flavorful dishes and comfy atmosphere. The lunch deals are very worth it. I really enjoyed the egg drop soup, wonton soup, and Gu-Li pork!

Dissipating! I am from Shanghai, when I saw this place, Tri Dim Shanghai, I came in. First, the front desk asked if I had a reservation, while half of the restaurant was empty.
I ordered 四喜烤夫, a Shanghai appetizer. It was too sweet. My mail dish was Ma Bu Tou Fu, a Tofu casserole. It was extremely spicy. I have to eat it with white rice which is very stiff. I asked for a bow of soft white rice, the waiter said that they don’t have softer rice.
Come on, make the rice RIGHT! Please a SHANGHAI restaurant shall never be this sloppy!
The tofu casserole dish had 2 crack on it.

Delicious food, very small portions. Nice staff, close to public transportation. Will visit again.

This is my go to place for dim sum in the Upper East Side. Particular emphasis on their xiao long bao which is some of the best in the city. The sichuan dumplings are also very good. The "american" chinese food (e.g. General tso) is honestly not that great, but I never order that from here anyway. Decently priced, and fairly casual atmosphere for dining in.

Fantastic experience, food and staff! It was reasonably priced for the quantity and quality you had!

I asked for a large bowl of won ton noodle soup, something not on their menu. They were happy to accommodate me.

The food is good and they are willing to make accommodations to menu when ordering if you are vegetarian, ie. Shanghai rice noodles can be made vegetarian. They are extremely busy with the take out/delivery business, so you have to ignore the bustle and noise of the delivery men through the aisles. Some of the wait staff can be rude, and don't bother to check on the meal. Delivery is probably a better option if you want a quiet dinner.

Some of the best Chinese food in the world. I love the Shrimp in Black Bean Sauce - Jack Bloom. Peking University, Adjunct Professor.

I love the dim sum here! It is delicious! The service is excellent and atmosphere warm and welcoming. I have tried other dim sum places in the UES and Tri Dim Shanghai rates number 1 in my book!

This was my #1 favorite Chinese takeout in the UES until an extremely unfortunate takeout experience last night. I have a life threatening soy allergy (anaphylaxis) and had previously ordered without issues. I called ahead to ask about the Singapore noodles, and asked the employee who picked up to check with the kitchen on whether there were any bean sprouts/soy in it. She said no without hesitation and said to just include my food allergies in comments on the order. I detailed the allergy in comments then ordered through the Chow Now app.

When the delivery gentleman arrived (I'm not sure he if he's directly linked with the restaurant) he asked for cash tip, I apologized and let him know I didn't have cash but said I call the restaurant rightaway to give tip on my credit card from the order. He took the food back and called the restaurant on his phone, and told me to give the restaurant my credit card number in the middle of my apt hallway. I said I wasn't comfortable with that and that I would call in just a moment before he reluctantly left.

Just when I was calling the restaurant, I took a bite of the noodles, took a closer look and realized there were bean sprouts mixed into the noodles. I immediately took Benadryl as I began to develop a rash/oral itching. The restaurant called me and when I picked up and let them know what was happening, she said she was sorry about the mistake and that she could refund the noodles, but insisted for my card number for the tip.as I was actively experiencing a food reaction. When the manager finally got on the phone and said they would do a full refund, I made it clear to him that as an food establishment it's extremely important to take food allergies seriously, not just nonchalantly reassure someone that a dish is ok before disregarding the allergy and putting a customer at risk. I'm mostly disappointed that I likely will no longer feel safe eating here.

TLDR; great Chinese in UES if you don't have any food allergies- if you do have food allergies, think again before eating here

If I could have given this place 0 stars I would have. Extremely Horrible customer service from the seater/waiter. I came with my family of four Monday 11/21 around 5: 30 p.m. And we were brought to a table by this seater/waiter. We respectfully asked if we can have another table after it was offered by the seater/waiter. We were moved to an open inner room with a table nearby a window. But what happens next utterly shocked my family and I. This seater/waiter abruptly placed our 4 menus on top of each of our eating plates and napkins. He did this instead of placing them on the side of the plates, like he did at the previous table. Also, I have never experienced any seater/waiter in any previous restaurant ever placing any menu (which are dirty because of previous handling by others) on top of a customer’s eating plates and napkins. When I brought this to his attention (while my family and I were still standing in shock) he answered back rather annoyed and with a sarcastic half smile/tone and told me “ oh thats what I do. I put the menus on top of the plates”. I told him that it was disgusting and unprofessional to do that. He objected and I told him well thats is definitely wrong and disgusting and I would like new plates and napkins. He abruptly said ok and grabbed up everything but it looked like he never changed the plates and just put new napkins on the original ones. I was watching as he took them over to a plate station and he quickly in plain view from what I can tell, just placed new napkins on the original plates. I instructed my family (we all still standing) that we were now leaving and would patron a new restaurant instead. We left and headed to Jing Fong restaurant a few blocks away. Very poor and disgusting service at Tri Dim Shanghai West but more importantly this seater/waiter. 0 stars!

Salty, Oily, lots of unrelated ingredients and unexpected ingredients. Noodles would be precooked, and reheated per waiter info.

I did not realize such places still existed, and I don't mean it in a good way. Inedible dumplings made of thick, hard dough. Soggy duck. Terrible.

Although the service is okay, the foods are not authentic Shanghainese (even not authentic Chinese) and overpriced. The restaurant's name is very misleading.
