Best Chinese Restaurants in Bensonhurst

3 hand-picked restaurants, critic-reviewed and ranked

Last Updated: February 2026

Our Top Pick
Golden Bay Restaurant
Traditional cart-style yum cha with a deep Cantonese dim sum lineup.

Notable Picks

$$$ Bensonhurst Chinese, Dim Sum
A classic Bay Parkway-area yum cha room where the ordering rhythm is the point: hot tea, carts, and a steady parade of Cantonese staples. The strongest results come from staying in the shrimp-dumpling and steamed-bun lanes, then adding one crisp fried plate for contrast.
Must-Try Dishes: Har gow (shrimp dumplings), Siu mai, Custard buns (including piggy buns when available)
What makes it special: Traditional cart-style yum cha with a deep Cantonese dim sum lineup.
$$$$ Bensonhurst Chinese, Dim Sum
A polished Cantonese banquet room where dim sum works best as a deliberate, table-driven order rather than a scattershot cart chase. Lean into the kitchen’s steamed fundamentals and one signature baked item, then stop before the meal turns into a heavy banquet sprawl.
Must-Try Dishes: Baked BBQ pork buns (char siu bao), Har gow (shrimp dumplings), Turnip cake (lo bak go)
What makes it special: Banquet-style Cantonese room with a strong baked-bun and steamed-dumpling lane.

Worthy Picks

$ Bensonhurst Chinese, Dim Sum
A tiny, no-frills steamer-and-bun counter where the play is simple: grab a few bao and one dumpling item, then keep moving. It’s not a sit-down dim sum room—it’s a neighborhood utility stop for quick, warm Cantonese bites.
Must-Try Dishes: BBQ pork buns (char siu bao), Custard buns (nai wong bao), Shrimp dumplings (har gow)
What makes it special: Steam-counter buns and dumplings meant for fast takeout.
