YORKTOWN, NY — Westchester's brightest luminaries agree that it's a match written in the stars. Introducing Ms. DimSum and Mr. Chick.

Yorktown officials gathered on Tuesday to celebrate the grand opening of two new restaurants, Ms. DimSum and Mr. Chick. The two new spots are located next to each other at 385 Kear Street, near the Yorktown Green shopping center.

Ms. DimSum offers a variety of Asian dishes such as dim sum, noodle soups and bubble teas.

"Beyond the food, we've created a relaxed welcoming space where you can unwind, catch up with friends, or even settle in with your laptop," the Ms. DimSum website says. "Whether you're here for a peaceful solo lunch or a study session, our calm and comfortable atmosphere makes it easy to feel at home."

Mr. Chick offers a selection of Korean-inspired versions of crispy fried chicken sandwiches, wings, seasoned fries and bingsu, a milk-based Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings.

"Whether you're craving something savory or sweet, we've got something for everyone," the Mr. Chick website says. "At Mr. Chick, we're all about fresh ingredients, fast service, and food that hits the spot every time."

Both restaurants offer take-out and dine-in.

"I am so proud of what you have going here," Supervisor Ed Lachterman told co-owner Sindy Lin. "I can't tell you how much we're pulling for you. You and your partners will do fantastic business here."

The residential-retail building at 385 Kear Street, which opened in 2024, has 2,567 square feet of ground-floor retail with six apartments on the two upper floors.

"You guys are going to crush it," Councilman Patrick Murphy told Lin. "Online the reviews are awesome already. We wish you good luck."

Lin’s family also operates Wild Fusion in Mohegan Lake and used to operate Flame Asian Bistro at the Jefferson Valley Mall.

"The place is absolutely beautiful," said Councilman Sergio Esposito. "I came here on the soft opening and had a chicken sandwich. It was outrageous."
