As usual, the food at Tim Ho Wan is very, very good. It's steamed fresh to order, so there always…read morebe a wait from the time that you put in your order. No problem: not my first Dim Sum rodeo. The ambience is awful. It's a friggin' zoo. Loud, uncontrolled children ruining any ambience it may have once had. The room is "live" anyway, it's not ever going to be subtle. (Just a reminder: chopsticks are not EVER to be used as drumsticks. No. Just no!) They could use more servers. Even getting acknowledged was a battle, A reassurance from the Waiter that he would be with us would have been nice.

They're known to be a Hong Kong-headquartered Michelin star dim sum restaurant for their bbq pork…read morebun. We walked in around 4 PM and were sat immediately with no wait. Even when we were ordering our food, it was disappointing since they didn't have three different dishes that we wanted to try. We ended up opting for the siu mai, shrimp rice rolls, bbq pork buns, and wonton noodle soup. The bbq pork bun was great. The rest of the food was worse than mediocre and as a comparison, I've had much better dim sum in Vancouver and Toronto. They didn't offer any hot tea with our meal which is interesting since dim sum translates to "yum cha" in Cantonese which literally translates to "drink tea". They didn't even offer water. The service was not good since there was no service. This was my last meal before I got crazy food poisoning that lasted several days. I can only suspect that something was bad in their food which made me feel extremely sick several hours later.

Wanderlog ranks this restaurant as #2 on its list of best Chinese food in Cebu City, and so does…read morerestaurant guru. After church my brothers and I decided to try the place that my friends speak highly of, to check it out and see if it lives up to it's hype. True enough there is authenticity in its Chinese cuisine, dishes that has rich and diversified but harmonious color, aromatic flavor, and excellent taste. I came for their dimsum, The choices are limited but I must say, by far, it's the best dimsum I ever had in Cebu City. I'm done eating dimsum at the mall. I also tried the other dishes my brothers ordered, and I say this place has the best Chinese food I ever had in Cebu City, The place was packed but we got there just 5 minutes before all tables were taken. The servers were quite efficient, patient and friendly. The place was kinda noisy during lunch time. Happy diners maybe?

One of the most authentic chinese restaurants ive tried thanks to my cousin who brought us here 2…read moreyears ago. Until today, taste of their food is still very good. We always get the shrimp dumplings and the soup dumplings. Dip them in chili sauce and wow! Delicious! The seafood is always fresh. They have live fish, lobster, and even eel that you can pick from outside. May not be a good idea for animal lovers though or for anyone not into that sort of thing, i mean seeing that their meal was alive just a few minutes ago. But anyway, their food is really flavorful. And from what i hear, chefs are really from places such as hongkong etc and so the taste they put into their food is really authentic chinese. I got to try the spinach soup today too and it was surprisingly really good! They added egg, tofu and shrimp so it tasted more like a healthy egg drop! I loved it! Gotta check this place out if you havent yet.
