Nom Wah Nolita will be a more casual, lunch-focused version of its successor. Visitors will order at the counter and pick up their food when it's done, Eater reports.

Dim sum is a style of Chinese fare prepared as small, bite-sized portions served in steamer baskets or on small plates. A dim sum meal usually includes steamed buns, dumplings and rice noodle rolls containing beef, chicken, prawns, pork and vegetarian options inside of them.
A spokeswoman told Eater it will be "great for those who work in Soho and don't have time for a full-service, sit-down meal."
