About Nom Wah Tea Parlor

Nom Wah Tea Parlor opened in 1920 as a bakery and tea parlor on Doyers Street, a short, crooked lane in Chinatown. It moved next door in 1968. Wally Tang ran it from 1974, and his nephew Wilson Tang took over in 2010. The dim sum menu runs from dumplings and buns to rolls, and it marks gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan dishes. Parties of three to five can book Monday to Thursday, while pairs walk in. It is open every day, holidays included.
