While NYC may overall be loaded with Chinese restaurants…good, bad and ugly, FiDi is a bit lacking for the cuisine of China. 3 Times not only offers good Chinese food, it offers a large variety of Dim Sum daily…which is relatively new (it used to be primarily a brunch thing served on rolled carts in Chinatown only).
3 Times is located nearby one of my clients and I was hoping it would be a good spot for a chance of pace from the usual spots. I am happy to say that their Dim Sum and Dishes are rock solid and fairly priced.
We shared a number of Dim Sum that included Fried Pork Dumplings, Steamed Veggie Dumplings, Spring Rolls, and Stewed Beef wrapped in Scallion Pancakes. Of the bunch I never had the later and they were by fave. For out entree we shared the Sesame Chicken with Broccoli and the Hong Kong Style Fried Rice.
Table seating is fairly limited so this location is geared towards takeout. While its nothing fancy, if you’re craving Chinese and especially Dim Sum this place hits the spot in FiDi.
3 Times is located at 38 Water Street
