New Three Happiness

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  I went here on Sunday to celebrate Chinese New Year.  Some friends were in town and had gone here previously and recommended it.
  
  The DimSum here was served on carts which made it easier to see and understand what the items were compared to seeing them on a menu.  Everything we had was delicious, I especially liked the Three Happiness Dumpling and the Fried Shrimp Roll.  
  
  But, again, we liked every plate we tried some of the other ones we had were BBQ Pork Bun, Shrimp shiu mai, shrimp dumplings, shrimp toast, and potstickers.  
  
  All in all it was very good...will I go back?  Possibly, but I also like going to new places when I come back to Chinatown.  There are so many options, why stick with just one?  Who knows...maybe the next one will really blow me away?!

  The only thing worse than the service is the food. With 40 other Chinese food restaurants in the area, there are much better choices. Do not come.

  The dim sum, on the whole, is okay, and the restaurant is clean (even the bathrooms). I thought the bill was a little high, compared to the many other dim sum places in Chinatown, and the service was slow. I was also surprised that certain items, such as custard tarts, were unavailable early in the day.
  
  But one disturbing fact will keep me from patronizing, or recommending, New Three Happiness in the future: they serve shark fin dumplings.
  
  Now, maybe it's possible to find a supplier who uses the WHOLE shark and then sells fins to certain restaurants. But there's been so much increased public awareness of the shark fin industry that it's surprising NTH even offers this. Most people who have only a passing knowledge of eco-issues know that shark fins are usually cut from live sharks which are then dumped back into the sea, where they die slowly and painfully. It's depleting the number of shark species which are vulnerable, and it's just mean.
  
  What could be worse? Puppy dumplings?
  
  Maybe, but only if the puppies were alive when they were cooked.
  
  There are lots of other dim sum places within walking distance of NTH. Try one of those.  They won't leave such a bad taste, figuratively.
