Broccoli
Gerald H.

We're in town for our Anniversary, and love dim sum, we saw this place and were eager to try, and Wow! What an experience, from Angela our new friend and amazing server, to the great food. I'll start with the signature bbq buns, so light airy and flavorful, definitely one the best we've ever had, the broccoli was fresh crunchy which we love, the congee with the century eggs is a great start to any meal. Do absolutely get the mango Sago, it's cold and so refreshing. Loved the dining room. Will definitely return when in Katy.

Wow, I love going to a restaurant, being able to order a bunch of little things, and having every single dish taste good! Seems kind of random that Houston has Tim Ho Wan, but I'm glad to have experienced it. It's probably not the exact same as the Michelin-made famous original in Hong Kong, but the food is too good to complain about. This seems like a great place to come and share a bunch of dishes too, and even the drink prices are pretty fantastic. Worth a visit!

Food was always good for my taste. It's used to be very crowded but not anymore which is fine for me since I don't have to wait to get a table.

Satisfied my craving of dim sum. No comments for the traditional dim sum dishes including har gow and siu mai. Baked bbq pork buns and steamed lava custard bun (had the perfect amount of runny custard) were yummy. I appreciate how the shrimp steam rice roll had shrimp in every bite and it wasn't just two shrimp in the rice roll like other places. Wonton shrimp was ok, didn't really stand out for me; indifferent about ordering it again. I'm usually a chicken feet girl, but previously tried the chicken feet in nyc and I wasn't a fan of that style so didn't reorder this time.

First round had the Wontons in Hot & Spicy Sauce which was alright, as well as the Steamed Rice with Minced Beef and Egg which I also thought was alright. Second round got the Pan Fried Noodles with BBQ Pork which I thought had great flavor but was a bit dry. Adding some chili sauce made it better. Then also tried the Baked BBQ Pork Buns which were really really good: soft, crispy, sweet, savory. Amazing! For dessert the Sweet Osmanthus Jelly was just not for me, but the Lava Custard Sesame Balls were increeeedible.

My son and I had to try dim sum here since we've heard so much about this place. It was very busy on a Saturday afternoon, however, we were seated almost immediately. The food was mediocre except for the baked barbecue pork buns. I must say the buns were delicious, sweet and savory. The prices were slightly higher and portions were smaller compared to other dim sum places around Houston. Also our waitress went MIA several times. We waited a long time just to pay. It was very noisy inside but we can still carry a conversation. Probably won't be back.

Tim Ho Wan has Michelin star in HK, so we come here to try it out even though this location doesn't have any award. I would say this is the standard for dim sum, nothing extortionately. No fillers, no food coloring like many other places. Menu is smaller than expected, but they focus on quality than quantity.

If you're craving authentic Hong Kong dim sum, Tim Ho Wan is worth the visit! We tried the famous BBQ Pork Buns, Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow), Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai, Steamed Rice Roll with Shrimp, and Pan-Fried Turnip Cake--and every dish was fresh and flavorful. The BBQ Pork Buns definitely lived up to the hype with their sweet, crispy topping and savory filling.

Absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying--easily the best dim sum I've ever had. Some dishes were a bit salty, but that might just be the soy sauce and dim sum style in general. Still, the quality and taste really stood out. The service was friendly and quick, which made the experience even better. The ambiance was nice--clean and comfortable, though nothing fancy. I read that the original location in Hong Kong earned a Michelin star. I'm not sure this one quite hits that level, but it was definitely delicious and absolutely worth coming back for. Looking forward to trying more next time!

Just wow! The BBQ pork bun is a must-try. It's a HK-style pineapple bun filled with the most tender char siu. I'm definitely coming back just for that. I can see how the original THW got a Michelin star.

You just can't go wrong with this place either for delivery or dining in. Phenomenal. Everything is great. The steamed BBQ buns are addictive and a must for everyone. Top quality cooks, all fresh and never a doubt about enjoying the food when trying to think of somewhere to eat or order from. Never a worry about enjoying the food. Best Dim Sum in Katy.

My first time was not a good experience and a bit scary. Services were bad, they don't seem like care or know what they are doing. The food was average except chicken feet. My daughter tried it first then told my son who love dim sum chicken feet that it does not taste right so not to eat. Which is very lucky for us as he allergic to peanut. When I pack it to-go, I saw the dishes full of peanuts. The menu clearly said chicken feet in black bean sauce. No PEANUT ALERT at all. And peanut is never an ingredient in this dish. The pork rib show the correct black bean but the chicken feet is absolutely not. Since my son did not eat and did not have the allergy reaction, I didn't want to make a scene but thought the restaurant needs to take more caution. Nut allergy is common. If you want to add peanut on the dish that originally doesn't include, let the customer know ahead.

S7. Steamed Pork Dumplings with Shrimp
Klemens T.

Food: Pork/shrimp siu mai, steamed bean curd w/ shrimp, meat, and veggies, and the sticky rice in lotus leaf. We weren't too hungry, but I wanted to try this place. We got a few of our favorite dim sum dishes from their very limited dim sum menu. All were delicious and very flavorful. Service: Staff are super friendly and fast. Other: Came here for the first time. Portions were decent. Probably the best dim sum place that we've eaten at in Texas so far. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in the area again. It's pricer than other dim sum places, but quality is legit. Just wish they had more dim sum options. Their dim sum choices are limited and missing a lot of the classic dishes. Large parking lot.

Are there dim sum carts? Also, are there actual dim sum chefs employed there?

Who are the dim sum chefs? Are they Chinese or not?

It look like an American guy work in the back of the kitchen or Mexican

Do they take reservations? If yes, how?

There's a waitlist that you can join on Yelp. Sometimes, the Yelp waitlist is offline at peak hours and peak days though, so it's a bit unpredictable.

We were greeted right away by one of the nicest person in the restaurant. He was welcoming and answered any questions about the menu. He showed us all the different specials on the menu and was willing to answer any in all questions that we had. We decided to try a bunch of different dishes and each and every one of them came out hot and fresh. We didn't even know where to start. We tried their soup, dumplings, the fried shrimp balls, the fried shumai, and two other shrimp dishes. We truly could have ordered more, but our eyes were bigger than our stomach. The menu is loaded with so many dim sum options, you would have to come back here a few days a week, just to try it all. My suggestion to you is run, don't walk to try this fantastic, delectable and phenomenal restaurant. If you are someone who loves dim sum, this is the place to go. Absolutely phenomenal. Delicious. Freshly made. This is top-notch.

So that alone just shows food isn't consistent. Then when tried the modern dim sum dishes, none of them stood out and was either too oily, and or just lacked cohesion. Ranged from 1-3 star experience each time I visited. Staff was always rushing, chaotic, and overall never had a good experience here. After 3 tries, won't be coming back personally. I was seated to a table where food was all over the chair and on the floor... tables barely clean.

Food and drinks: This place has well designed menu that lets you easily choose from many different dishes. There is something for everyone here, from soups to shareable dishes, noodle options, and variety of meats. The spice levels are added for awareness. The food was very flavoursome, well seasoned and balanced. All foods had traditional flavours to them. You can choose flavoured green teas to accompany your meal.

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!
