Opened in 1920 in New York City’s Chinatown, Nom Wah is the first and oldest dim sum restaurant in New York. Founded as a tea parlor and bakery by the Choy family in 1920, Nom Wah was originally famous for its mooncakes; dim sum was a secondary priority. Dim sum, which translates to “a little bit of heart” referring to its bite-size portions, originated on the Silk Road a millennium ago. Nom Wah was sold in 1950 to Wally Tang, who started as a dishwasher at the Chinese restaurant, and then passed on to Wally’s nephew Wilson in 2010.
