Master Critic Review

Tri Dim Shanghai West 8.0
Upper West Side (Central)
Tri Dim Shanghai West focuses on Shanghainese and Sichuan dishes in a comfortable Columbus Avenue dining room with both dim sum and full entrées. Regulars come for soup dumplings, Peking duck, and a broad menu that works equally well for family-style dinners and slightly dressed-up nights out.
Must-Try Dishes: Shanghai Steamed Pork Juicy Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), Peking Duck, Young Chow Fried Rice
Scores:
Value: 6.6 Service: 7.8 Consistency: 8.3 Food Quality: 8.6 Atmosphere: 8.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.9
What makes it special: Shanghai-leaning menu with xiao long bao and Peking duck in a polished but comfortable room.
Who should go: Couples and small groups sharing soup dumplings and duck.
When to visit: Evenings and weekends when the room has steady buzz.
What to order: Pork soup dumplings, Peking duck, Young Chow fried rice.
Insider tip: Plan to share a duck and a couple of dim sum plates rather than over-ordering main courses.
