East River Eatery

This is a hidden find in UES. We decided to dine in on a Sunday and there were no other patrons in the venue. The service and food quality did not disappoint!! 1. Pork soup dumplings - love the presentation and how each comes in a serving bowl so it captures all the soup! 2. Chive and pork pan fried dumplings - good but nothing to write home about 3. Crispy scallion pancake with shredded duck - the outter cake was a warm crispy perfection. They were generous with the duck portions too! I’ve never had this kind of dish before! 4. Beef and asparagus lunch special which comes with a house salad and soda for only $13! The staff was courteous and friendly. We didn’t have to wait very long for the food. Everything tasted really good! It is the restaurant’s 2 year anniversary so there’s a 10% dis

As a Chinese, I’m very picky with a dim sum restaurant but this restaurant exceeds my expectations. IT IS DEF A HIDDEN GEM. This is absolutely the best dim sum restaurant I’ve had in New York. Not only did they make the food so good, they also presented it so well. I was impressed every time I went there. Even the service is 10/10. I’ve always hoped that they have more customers but unfortunately UES did not give it enough credit. I’m very sad to find out place is now closed when I went back today. Hereby I submit all my memory with this amazing restaurant. I hope they just found another better location to thrive not permanently closed.

A decent find in NYC! Surprisingly delightful and service was great. Chicken dishes - 3/5 Soup dumpling - 4/5 Pancake - 4/5 Duck bun - 4/5 Service - 5/5 Value - 5/5 On a Saturday night, wasn’t a full crowd and got seated right away. If you’re in the area, worth a visit. But don’t come just to get soup dumplings - come for a full course meal.

Some of the best dim sum & food we’ve had in the city! Such a cute and quiet spot, really kind staff. Gave us so many recommendations and everything was sooo delicious! Get the soup dumplings, shredded duck & scallion pancakes, and pork and chive dumplings! 10/10 highly recommend this place

Very impressed with our meal at East River Eatery. We ordered duck scallion pancake, soup dumplings, and pan fried pork & chive dumplings. Everything exceeded expectations and very friendly service. Will be back!
