Nom Wah Tea Parlor Like stepping into a time capsule, Nom Wah Tea Parlor remains as unchanged and timeless today as when it was first opened in 1920. Located on tiny Doyer Street, Nom Wah is the oldest tea parlor in Chinatown, surviving almost 80 years of history & change. The interior is antiquated--filled with old wooden tables & chairs, patched up red vinyl booths, and worn out electric fans. There’s even an entire shelf of ancient-looking tea canisters. Because of its old fashion facade, numerous movies, shows, and commercials, including Spiderman, Third Watch, and many others, have been filmed inside & outside this traditional tea parlor establishment. Encased behind a glass counter, you’ll see the largest almond cookies in Chinatown. There’s no other place that makes it as large and as tasty as Nom Wah does. Long-time customers from 20, 30, 40 years ago continue to come back to buy not only the almond cookies, but also to order from their delectable selection of dim sum which are freshly made on premise and bought out on a platter. Regulars swear by their signature Ha Gow (shrimp dumplings), Shew My (pork dumplings), and Char Shew Bow (Roast Pork Buns), which are scrumptious and must be tried to be believed. The atmosphere is relaxing and quiet--a perfect place for sampling traditional dim sum while sipping on a cup of brewed Oolong tea.
