Food was excellent... Sam our host was amazing and so was Leo. Definitely a must try if you are in the area for some dimsum. Love the vibe.

What an incredible dining experience. We tried 18 dishes, from appetizers to mains to desserts, and somehow each one managed to outdo the last. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the signature baked barbecue pork buns--they were so good I ordered two more to go. A close second was the fried tofu with seaweed. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with seasoning that reminded me of fried chicken from the Taipei Night Market--comfort food at its best. One of the most surprising standouts was the crispy shrimp red rice roll with hibiscus dipping sauce. Bold, unique flavors with a satisfying crunch--something I've never had before and absolutely loved. To drink, the signature HK Sprite with salted lemon was incredibly refreshing. You really have to try it. Dessert sealed the deal. The steamed sponge cake was light, fluffy, and subtly sweet with a hint of brown sugar, while the Sweet Treasure Bowl--filled with popping boba, mango, red bean, and more--was fun and delicious. Amazing food, standout flavors, and exceptionally friendly staff. This is definitely becoming a regular go-to spot. read more

Tim Ho Wan - Garlic Chicken Wing - Dim Sum Near Me - Irvine, California

The reopening was smooth as can be on a weekday lunch. Food and service were excellent. QR code ordering was easy. Easy parking early on a weekday (can be difficult with Diamond Jamboree on weekends and evenings). Everything was solid, as it reminded me of Din Tai Fung for Hong Kong dim sum. Food/Drink- 5 stars Everything was excellent and not too greasy, compared to other HK dim sum spots. -Signature pork- this was excellent, as they charred the outside and kept the inside soft. Each piece was a bit different though, as we ordered 2 (one was slightly lean, and the other had the perfect amount of fattiness). And it was a slight discomfort with some burnt ends that stuck to your teeth -Baked BBQ pork buns- this was excellent and I highly recommend getting it -fried noodles- standard, but appreciated that it wasn't too greasy -poached vegetables- pretty good to balance out the heavy meal -shrimp har gow- standard. It's a staple, but I would opt for other orders -Crispy Shrimp Red Rice Rolls with Roselle Sauce- fantastic and highly recommend -chicken feet -Siu mai- pretty good. high quality ingredients really showed out. Juicy and not too greasy -braised beef noodles with soup- pretty solid. I would only order if you have a craving -mushroom truffle rice roll- really good. I highly recommend it -spicy and sweet dumplings- pretty good and equivalent to Din Tai Fung's same dish -fried rice- pretty good -braised vegetables and mushrooms- pretty good Service- 5 stars The servers were very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the QR ordering system, as it allowed us to order in waves, ensuring that all the food was fresh. It also helped since one of our diners came to lunch a bit later than the rest of us. It was a very enjoyable experience throughout Bottom Line Excellent higher end dim sum establishment. It's a bit more expensive than your typical HK dim sum place, but the excellent in food quality, service and overall experience was worth the higher price read more

The wait for walk-ins is short, but it feels oddly long for a half-empty restaurant. There's no reservation system or waiting list, which makes the flow even more disorganized. Service is friendly, but careless and way too close for comfort. Staff stand right next to the tables the entire time--one waiter literally stayed in front of us with his back turned, completely blocking the view. In a spacious dining area, it felt intrusive and uncomfortable, like you're forced to watch someone's back the whole meal. We ordered a few dim sum items and waited over 20 minutes for the first dish, which arrived ice cold and clearly not properly thawed. The last item took 30+ minutes. At one point, it was brought out multiple times even after we had already paid. We were close to canceling both items, but were just told "it's on the way," without anyone actually checking on the order--just staff standing around without awareness of what's happening at the table. Unfortunately, the core issue goes beyond service--the food itself was the main disappointment. --- The signature bun doesn't look properly baked at first glance--it lacks the usual golden, glossy finish seen in other locations and instead appears pale and underdone. The dough tastes undercooked and overly sweet. Inside, there's very little actual meat--just a gluey, heavy sauce with small bits of meat, while the bottom remains visibly raw. Even after requesting a remake, the second version was still doughy and wet inside with uneven cooking; it did include a few more pieces of meat that were noticeable, but the overall texture and doneness were still off. --+ The har gow was one of the better items visually--small, delicate, and appealing in shape--but the shrimp quality fell short, with a texture suggesting it had been previously frozen multiple times. --- The carrot cake is soggy and unstable, almost impossible to pick up. The carrot pieces are too large and watery, and the whole thing turns into a porridge-like texture. It's also overly salty, which makes it harder to finish. --- The beancurd skin rolls with pork and shrimp were inconsistent. The first serving arrived steaming hot on the surface but still cold inside, with ice still detectable--raising concerns about whether it was properly thawed or freshly prepared. After requesting a replacement, the second serving was hot but appeared poorly assembled, with little to no filling in most of the rolls. What filling there was lacked depth, with more noticeable vegetable and mushroom fragments than actual meat or shrimp. ---The siu mai is overly salty and has a coarse texture, likely from being chopped too finely, which disrupts the usual bite and balance. ---The signature red rice roll with crispy shrimp was perhaps the most concerning. It arrived with a faint sour smell, which the staff attributed to its "intended flavor," though it came across as over-fermented or possibly spoiled. The shrimp tasted stale, and the crispy exterior carried a rancid note--possibly from overused oil. The roselle sauce lacked any discernible cranberry character; instead, it came across as a generic red syrup with little to no fragrance, as if the aroma had been overpowered by the off-putting, slightly spoiled note of the rice roll itself. Overall, the kitchen seems inconsistent with basic execution--proper thawing, cooking buns correctly, and maintaining freshness. There's also a noticeable lack of attention to whether dishes are actually ready to serve. Combined with overused oil and questionable preparation, the quality just doesn't hold up. THW has never been known as a standout dim sum spot--even in Asia it's more of a quick stop than a destination. But at this level, it feels like something is fundamentally off. For this Irvine location, the experience is particularly disappointing. read more

After the reopening the interior has improved and the food seems better though my one previous experience wasn't bad. The traditional items were as expected with the bbq buns being exceptional. I really liked the fish with ginger as well. Some portions seemed smaller than you would expect, like siu mai was only 3 pieces. The mango dessert was not what I expected, it's sort of like cold soup when I thought it would be more gelatinous. Service was good, staff was attentive. read more

So thrilled to see they are finally open after a year of renovations! I'm so glad they kept this location, as the food has truly leveled up. Their modern dim sum and fusion Chinese dishes really stand out from traditional spots, offering creative twists that are both unique and delicious. The new atmosphere is fantastic--spacious, clean, and very inviting, with comfortable seating that makes for a relaxed meal. I also noticed a significant improvement in the service; the staff was attentive and professional throughout our visit. It's the perfect spot for a unique dining experience, and I can't wait to revisit with my friends and family! read more

Tim Ho Wan - Dim Sum Near Me - Irvine, California

Well, I definitely assumed this location wasn't opening up ever again but lo and behold it did! But now it's really really strange. Half the dishes on the menu that I loved have been altered into really random pivots. There's no more shrimp and chive dumplings (one of our favorites) and it's been replaced with a vegetarian spinach and enoki mushroom variant. Why?! Also, there are no beef balls on the menu. What happened to this staple? No beef rice rolls either. Did they just decide to be lazy and remove beef options in their steamed dim sum dishes? That removed a major element of the dim sum experience for us. It feels like a real tease - like eating Tim Ho Wan Express where they only have the three majors available to order (baked pork buns, siu mai, and har gow). And then they add in all this unnecessary fluff on the menu while missing so many major dim sum dishes. It's both exciting that they're open again and really really sad the menu is so limited and lacking. I'll still be going back a lot since I have no other choice but I order so much less than I used to. What a strange feeling. read more

I saw that Tim Ho Wan had reopened and it was my favorite dim sum place in Hong Kong so I was interested. Along with the recent good reviews, I really wanted to check it out. I'll just saw this: if the food now is an improvement of what they had before, then I cannot imagine how bad it must have been. The best things are that the shu mai and the signature pork buns are both excellent. My wife told me the shumai was vastly improved and it did remind me of the excellent ones I had in HK For the rest of the menu, it's pretty abysmal. The non-steamed items came out cold - radish/turnip cake was cold, red rice roll was cold, poached veggies were cold and the bbq pork rice roll came out cold. One dish being cold is an aberration, all the non-steamed dishes being cold is a pattern of a dysfunctional kitchen. The turnip cake was falling apart which isn't supposed to happen and the bbq rice roll skin came out mushy As for the steamed dishes, the har gow was passable. The rice lotus leaf sticky rice was tough, almost like it got left out and dried out or they didn't use enough water. The worst offender of the steamed dishes was the chicken feet. The black beans overpowered any taste and in HK, it usually comes out saucy but other than black beans on tofu skin there were no sauce in the dish. Given my experience here and the better dim sum restaurants within a 5 minute radius and the horrible parking situation at diamond jamboree, I don't know if I would come back even if it was free, so seems like I made the right choice when I didn't go to the free event for yelp elite members a few weeks ago. read more

This is my third time dining here, i had so good experience when i first visited. Food wqs far better than what i've expected, and every food was warm and delicious. This time, i tried their new menu, dimsum platter, its only $19 and you can try many different flavors, i recommend you if this is your first time visiting here. I would take my family or friends here for dining, and i really like their red rice roll, and all of their dimsum. read more

+ Delicious, exotic, fun-to-eat xiao long bao. Love the concept of the broth still warm inside the dim sum. Complemented by the soy sauce. + Polite, helpful staff. + Unlike the 20min wait at the neighboring tofu restaurant, we were seated here instantly. . Diamond Jamboree often very crowded parking, but we found a spot before H-Mart (Fri noon). - The QR menu isn't versatile with phone numbers. If your phone # doesn't work with it, you can't order/pay with your phone. - Can't order nor view the prices online, so I can't verify for you how expensive dining here is. - Overall the foods are carb-heavy. Somewhat lacking in protein. read more

Came in on a Wednesday for lunch with my wife at around 12:30pm and we were seated within 5-10 mins so that was nice. Ambiance was very nice and feels higher end for sure. By far the best bbq pork buns we have had around SGV and OC and IE. That's a must order and the red shrimp rice roll was surprisingly delicious. The tea assortment was nice but I wouldn't get the lychee black tea again because it was kinda too fragrant for dim sum pairing. Service was good too. The downside side is the selection of dim sum and no egg tart. Also, was a bit pricey but that's expected for what they are trying to market themselves as. read more

It finally reopened, I had to check it out. The remodel is way more upscale and comfortable than the previously, and feels more spacious. Our server Leo was very helpful and got us situated with tea and helped with the menu; as a dim sum pro, I'm good, but if you're trying it for the first time, great service for a dim sum place! Food-wise, I also liked it better after re-opening; the bbq pork had the right, authentic Chinese bbq pork aroma. The har gow, shrimp dumplings, had good shrimp in it and not just processed shrimp balls. Glad it's opened and better! read more

Husband chose Tim Ho Wan to have lunch at because he had never eaten there although the rest of the family has already a few times. He was a little put off by the people waiting for a table. It was busier than usual because it was the beginning of a holiday weekend. Quoted wait time was 45 minutes or less. I put in my name and the hostess said that she would text as soon as a table was available and to have a seat in the waiting area. The wait was not long at all. People wanting take out were told that it would be one hour for their orders as the kitchen was backed up. We were seated in about 15 minutes. We knew to order by scanning the QR code as it was not our first time here. Daughter did most of the ordering. She ordered the sticky rice in lotus leaf, the signature baked barbecued pork bun, crispy shrimp red rice rolls with roselle sauce, chicken with ginger and spring onion puree rice bowl, and pork congee with century and salted egg. Her father added pork and shrimp dumplings or siu mai and barbecue pork rice rolls. We tried 2 new dishes--braised vegetables and mixed fungus with fermented red bean curd sauce and dark and white chocolate sesame balls. Food came out very quickly. The pork and shrimp dumplings took a little longer as did the crispy shrimp red rice rolls. A few more crispy shrimp red rice rolls came out after ours. The kitchen may be making the dim sum in batches. The standouts were the crispy shrimp red rice rolls and the dark and white chocolate sesame balls. The shrimp was fresh and crunchy and we really like the tart but sweet sauce accompanying the shrimp red rice rolls. It was difficult not to have more than one of the dark and white chocolate sesame balls. They were chewy and filled with warm, melted chocolate. We order the chicken with ginger and spring onion puree rice bowl every visit and it was perfect this day not salty like last time. The braised vegetables and mixed fungus with fermented red bean curd sauce was interesting. It came with cabbage, sliced carrots, snow fungus, shiitake mushrooms, edamame, rolled bean curd, and wood ear mushrooms. We would have preferred a brown sauce. Everybody ate his fill and was satisfied. read more

The newly reopened Tim Ho Wan has a slightly revamped menu, with great service uncharacteristic of typical of dim sum restaurants in a good way, an open, welcoming interior, and great tasting food.

I came here with a large ground on Sunday morning before the restaurant opened and there was already a bit of a line. We were seated promptly once the restaurant opened. The restaurant was recently renovated so everything was clean and new. Menu was a bit limited and I was bummed that they were missing staples like shrimp rice rolls and steamed pork buns. My party ordered a variety of dishes: siu mai, har gow, XLB, fried buns, fried rice, baked bbq pork buns, turnip cakes, sesame balls, and tea. All the dishes tasted fresh and made with highly quality ingredients. Pricing was reasonable. Service was a bit slow and they did not check up on us frequently. Some items took a while to come out, like my HK milk tea. Overall, a good place to get dim sum in Irvine! read more

Came after the rebrand and it's not bad! There's no traditional Asian aunties rolling carts but came to check it out from social media and new training. I like that they service din sum all day Came on a Sunday 2:15pm they said it would take 45m but it only took maybe 20m wait. Tables were clearing by 3ish Signature bbq buns: 9/10 YUMMY!!! really love the crispy top (like bo lo bao pineapple bun top my fave) good flavor. Savory and sweet. It's a little too saucy inside tho. But my top menu item here. Would get again for sure and recommend. Charsu: 7.8/10 wish it was hotter but it was good with sweet char on the corners. Lo mai fan sticky rice in lotus leaf: 8/10 Good, lots of meat and good size for 2 people to share as a rice. Interesting they put a big piece of chicken in there lol. I was looking for my lapchurn Chinese sausage, there was a tiny one.. Shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, pai gwut spare ribs, all valid. Solid 8.5/10 Pork dumplings only came 3 pieces tho. Liked the chicken feet but they cut them so it was only like 2 pieces of full feet! :( Fried custard buns: eee 5/10 idk I didn't like it. I thought I would cause I LOVE custard buns but the fried dough was donutty and custard was grainy eggy instead of creamy eggy. I wouldn't get this one again. Dark and white choco sesame buns: 7.8/10 Not bad! I love dark and white chocolate and sesame buns so I wanted to try this. It's interesting. Not bad but too expensive I think. Overall not a bad place but I have feelings about the michelin marketing Eating out is so expensive read more

Best place for Dimsum. Fresh and affordable. David is a great leader. He supervises all the staff with dedication and respect. Multitasking and very accommodating. Katie is our favorite person on this place. Nice smile and very people friendly. She works fast and with precision. Look at Jose and try to observe his work ethics. He works quietly and does a lot of multitasking. Does not stop. What a great worker. Overall the entire staff are working together as a team of well natured attitude. This establishment must be so blessed to have such an amazing staff. Cleanliness is a must. This is a place where you enjoy dinning with families and friends. JS read more

If you'd like to try out this restaurant, I highly recommend going when it opens at 11 am. We had a party of 7 and were hoping to call and make reservations. Sadly the phone call said to keep trying at a later time. So we were unable to make one. Luckily, we arrived at this location at 10:55am and no joke, there was already a line forming on a Friday!!! Let's start with the exterior of this location. It sits in the middle of the strip mall location surrounded by other restaurants. As for the inside decor, I absolutely love the green and gold colors so the blend was amazing. For the food, I have only gone to the Vegas location, and Irvine is by far the better location. The chicken feet was hot and steamy. The har gow was soft and chewy. The siu mai was so darn soft, I was able to cut through the wonton wrap with my chop stick. And the star of the show, which I have been craving for, the bbq pork buns. They were so fluffy and sweet on the outside, savory on the inside. It had so much umami flavor that this was my favorite. The waiter was extremely friendly and ordering was simple. I scanned the QR code on the table and started ordering away. This would have to be the best dim sum I've ever had. read more

Tim Ho Wan - B1. Baked BBQ Pork Buns (3 Pc) - Dim Sum Near Me - Irvine, California

Came with family for lunch and I am happy with the updated menu and food. We came on MLK Monday at opening and it was not crowded. Half the restaurant was empty at the time but it still took them a really long time to set up the tables for a party of 8. Our server was great and attentive, and always got us everything we requested. We ordered a lot of different things and everything tasted great. Honestly, I thought the food was really bad when they first opened originally, and although it improved slightly over time, it still was not great. I think I only ate here maybe less than 5 times before they closed for the revamp. Now, everything tasted fresh and good. It is still pricey for dim sum but it's Irvine prices. The chicken rice bowl had tender pieces of chicken and very flavorful ginger/green onion sauce. The kids loved the siu mai and ha gow so much we had to order more. I really enjoyed the salted egg yolk bun and the bbq pork bun is good as well but on the sweet side. The almond milk tea was really good but it is kinda small for the price. The soy sauce chow mein was better and less oily than before but they added a lot of extra veggies so it was almost more veggies than noodles. This may be the one thing I won't order again. The Braised beef was flavorful and tender. I will come back to try it as the lo mein for lunch on a work day. I'm happy to see that there are a few rice and noodle dishes that would make for a good quick lunch of a work day. I hope the food continues to taste this good in the future. I think my family and I will be coming back more frequently from now on. read more

Always amazing, I'll always come back! Food is best quality, best taste, fast, great service

Finally reopened after a lengthy remodel. They are open for lunch only at the moment as part of their soft opening. Interior looks much better than before. More elegance and more open space. Service is still finding their way, but they are really trying, which is much appreciated. Menu features all the highlights you expect. Some items have quietly disappeared and a few new ones got added. read more

Best Dimsum in that I've eaten in a long time! This is a long review so take your time. First of all, I was surprised by all the negative reviews. I know that we all could have different opinions but mine was amazing. We came here on Saturday during lunch time so there was a long line waiting outside. Luckily our family came early so we were seated immediately. The guests were quickly seated after us and it was so busy early in the morning which was impressive. Our server was Dylan, he was nice and attentive. There was confusion ordering the food but he resolved it fast and dishes came out quickly. Sweet & sour pork (10/10): must be eaten with RICE!!, I have nothing to say about this, chef's kiss! Def my favorite dish! Steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce (10/10): this was bomb, the best chicken feet dimsum I've ever had, soft and perfectly seasoned. Golden lava salted egg buns (10/10): best salted egg buns I have ever had! Don't forget to get these as dessert! Siu Mai (9.5/10): it was amazingly good, recommended! Signature roasted barbecue pork (9.5/10): my mom loved it, tender meat, beautiful color, I would recommend having these with rice. Fried tofu with seaweed (9.5/10): this was insanely delicious, I don't really like tofu but this one, crunchy outside and super soft inside, it melted! Black truffle mushroom rice rolls (9/10): good combination of flavors. Dark & white chocolate sesame balls (9/10): there you go, chocolate fans! Approved! Poached seasonal vegetable (8.5/10): fresh and refreshing! Steamed sponge cake (8.5/10): good option for dessert, loved the texture. Hot HK milktea (8/10): I wish it was hotter cuz it's getting cold after a while, I liked the strong taste of the tea. Crispy shrimp red rice rolls with roselle sauce (8/10): I liked the texture but I can't really feel the sauce. Har gow (8/10): good texture but the taste could be better The only thing I didn't like was the Xiao Long Bao: 5/10, not recommended for soup dumpling fans, I hope they change their recipe for it. The restaurant is beautiful, I love the decorations. I feel like weekends are a little too busy so it's better going on weekdays and gathering with families. I feel like this place deserves better reviews because all the things we had were outstanding. I hope the quality won't change because I finally found my favorite dimsum restaurant. Will be coming back for sure! read more

We finally made the trip to Tim Ho Wan after the revamp and weren't disappointed! Tim Ho Wan used to be a last choice for us in terms of dim sum, but now it's had some noticeable improvements. On top of the complete renovation, the dishes came out fresh and tasting way better than before. They also added cha siu and this fried shrimp noodle roll - both were delicious. The only downside was that the dishes came out pretty slow where there was about a 10-15 minute wait between each dish we got. The service was great though! We came at 11am on a Sunday and were seated almost immediately, but there will be a bit of a wait if you come any time after 12. read more

Back at Tim Ho Wan for the second time, and wow -- still incredible. We went all in: roasted pork, baked BBQ pork buns (I swear these are life‑changing), crispy red rice roll, veggie rolls... the list goes on. Once again, I ate so much I couldn't even think about dessert. No photos this round, because my stomach got the best of me. But trust me, my pictures wouldn't do the food justice. The real highlight? David and the staff. Even with a full house at 11:30 AM, they were so kind, attentive, and genuinely on point. Hands down a great experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more
