Dim Sum Go Go's East Village outpost set for a soft opening on Saturday

Dim Sum Go Go is set for a soft opening on Saturday here at 221 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street. 

Operating manager Jackson Lau and owner Ken Li said that they'll offer just a little more than half of the usual menu items during this soft opening period. (And it's an extensive menu.)

They will also feature two self-ordering stations... (you can also order from someone at the front counter)...

This second location has been in the works since July 2021, and between the pandemic and some bureaucratic issues, the opening had been pushed back. 

As previously noted, this is the second outpost for the restaurant that made the Michelin Bib Gourmand list last year. The flagship space at 5 E. Broadway in Chinatown opened in 2000.
