Simply Noodles & Dim Sum Bryant Park

Midtown’s lunch rush moves fast, but sometimes all you need is a steaming basket of dumplings to hit pause. On 40th Street, just steps from Bryant Park’s green escape, a dim sum spot keeps things simple—no frills, just the kind of comfort food that cuts through a hectic afternoon. They’re open for both lunch and dinner, which means the same har gow or char siu bao that fuels a solo workday can just as easily cap off an evening.

The address, 110 W 40th St Store 4, places it squarely in the thick of things, where office workers and theatergoers share sidewalks. As a dim sum restaurant, it leans into the category’s strengths: quick service for those grabbing takeout between meetings, or a table for one when you’d rather not eat at your desk. Beer and other alcohol options round out the menu, because sometimes dim sum pairs best with something cold.

Questions about hours or whether they’ve still got that last order of lo bak go? A call to (212) 884-5818 clears it up—no need to guess when the kitchen’s firing. The place doesn’t overcomplicate things; it’s dim sum as it should be, with the efficiency New Yorkers expect and the flavors that keep them coming back.

Finding it is straightforward—just follow the map here and look for the unassuming storefront. No grand entrance, no gimmicks; just a spot that knows its role in the neighborhood’s daily rhythm.
