Located on the legendary Doyers Street in Manhattan’s Chinatown, Nom Wah Tea Parlor was established in 1920 as New York City’s very first dim sum house and remains its oldest continuously operating Cantonese tea parlor. The brand is built upon the core concept of a century of dim sum artistry, rooted deeply in the Lingnan tradition of Yum Cha where drinking tea is a vital social ritual rather than a mere meal. As the enduring soul of the community, Nom Wah preserves the heritage of traditional teahouses found in Canton and Hong Kong, serving as a historic sanctuary where generations gather to socialize, conduct business, and enjoy family time amidst the ever-changing landscape of New York.
