In our recent Hong Kong trip, we were able to make an impromptu reservation for dim sum at Tin Lung Heen, a 2-Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant perched on the 102 floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The décor of Tin Lung Heen was luxurious and elegant, with a two-story-high ceiling and large windows overlooking Victoria Harbor, all contributing to a stunning and classy ambiance. Service was impeccable as expected. Our main server Anson was very knowledgeable of the menu and made good suggestions to us. The excellent service definitely elevated the whole dim sum experience. For the 3 of us, we ordered: Pan-fried turnip cake with minced turnip (HK$130/ US$17) Deep-fried crispy roll stuffed with crab meat (HK$122/ US$16) Steamed rice roll with cod fish meat and garlic (HK$142/ US$18) Steamed garoupa/grouper dumpling with ginger (HK$125/ US$16) Steamed shrimp dumpling with bamboo shoot (HK$130/ US$17) 3 Chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo (HK$354/ US$46) Deep-fried egg puff with sugar (HK$88/ US$11.5) Braised glutinous rice in lobster soup with scallop (half) (HK$184/ US$24) 3 Tea and condiment (HK$156/ US$20) Total HK$1,574.10/ US$203 All the dim sum were delicious, meticulously prepared and cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the deep-fried crispy roll stuffed with crab meat, that had a crispy skin and flavorful filling of crab meat. The chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo was very refreshing, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The only dish that did not stand out to me was the pan-fried turnip cake with minced turnip. It was lukewarm instead of hot, and the surface lacked crispiness. The minced turnip on top probably reduced the crispiness as well. When we wanted to try the braised glutinous rice in lobster soup with scallop, we were already full. It was nice that our server recommended getting a half-order of it. It was excellent. The glutinous rice soaking in lobster soup had changed its texture, it resembled congee a bit, but was full of flavors. In the end, Tin Lung Heen presented us with complimentary desserts in a Star Ferry shaped ceramic pot that bore its logo. The cookies and mochi were very good, but we were so full that we had some as leftovers to go. It was a very enjoyable dim sum lunch that totaled HK$1,574/ US$203 for 3 people, we felt that it was good value for a 2-Michelin-starred restaurant. I highly recommend it! read more

We revisited Tin Lung Heen after 12years. We were amazed by their food, service and view were as good as before. What we ordered: Baked Middle East Yoshihama abalone puff Steamed pork and shrimp dumpling with prawn and caviar and Steamed pork and shrimp dumpling with scallop and dried tomato Chef's signature barbecued combination Three kinds of your choice : Barbecued pork with osmanthus flower honey, Marinated chicken in soy sauce, Roasted goose with plum sauce Tin Lung Heen Peking duck (Half piece) Chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo Abalone puff was outstanding. Abalone itself had firm texture but still tender. Puff was crispy and buttery. Pork dumpling were very delicious, too. Another highlight was BBQ combo. Soya chicken was so tender, it was bbq, however, melting in my mouth. Goose was also very flavourful. Peking duck was just ok. Mango cream with sago was still the same, great and outstanding. So creamy, strong mango flavor. Very delicious! Overall, we were more than satisfied and really wanted to revisit here. Great food and outstanding service and view. Unforgettable. read more

Excellent. Views are spectacular, service is immaculate befitting the setting and location, food has some misses but certain dishes really do shine. The misses were the siu Mai and har gow which is disappointing. Lack of quality. But apparently during certain seasons they'll make them in house and they're better so we might have missed that window. Other dishes were par, perhaps maybe even disappointing given the prices. Hits include the grouper rice roll and scallop rice roll. The seafood flavors are locked in and really sing. The crab spring roll was delicious, stuffed full of crab meat. And now I must call out the Iberico char siu. If you're here you must order this, despite the price. We hadn't ordered ahead as the price was absurd but we were offered a half portion that they had on hand and we decided to take a shot. Comes out to the price of a good steak but it's definitely worth trying. Tender and flavorful. It's pricey but a worthy splurge if you want luxury service and ridiculous views. Expected to walk out hungry but portions were actually good, though some pedestrian offerings should be unacceptable considering what they're aiming for. read more

It's still the best dim sum I've ever had. Peking duck is absolutely perfect, and the BBQ flaky bun was perfect. Light pastry skin with BBQ pork and tiny apples mixed. I was hesitant, but it was perfectly and purposely blended together. The dessert combo platter was outstanding, and I loved the almond and ube balls. Service is impeccable, Ritz holds up the service level. Staff is amazing. read more

My friends and I have some dietary restrictions (eat halal, no pork, no alcohol). The tin Lung Heen staff was able to accommodate our restrictions and we had a lovely experience. The food was good, but not great and maybe that was due to the team accommodating our dietary preferences. We had other restaurants in Hong Kong where there were some more food options for us so that the restaurant didn't have to make as many changes to dishes themselves. Overall it was a good experience! Our waiter was so friendly and the restaurant was very beautiful! The dessert they brought for us was so lovely. read more

If you ever needed a reason to renew that passport--this is it. Tin Lung Heen isn't just dining, it's what happens when Cantonese tradition links up with sky-high luxury. Perched on the 102nd floor, the views alone deserve their own Michelin star. Let's talk food though: the har gow came topped with gold leaf like they knew they were the main character. That barbecued pork with osmanthus honey? Sweet, savory, melt-in-your-mouth magic. The abalone was so tender it practically whispered. Every course on the degustation menu hit a new high--from wok-fried wagyu to lobster bathed in silky soup, it was rich without being over the top. And then dessert showed up soft and elegant. Bird's nest pudding in chilled melon milk cooled things off, and the egg puff brought warm, nostalgic vibes to close it out. Every detail felt intentional. Service was graceful, plates came out like choreography, and not once did I feel rushed. This is the type of place that reminds you global dining hits different--and that luxury isn't always loud, sometimes it's just really, really well plated. Pro Tip: Ask for the window seat, clear your afternoon, and let your palate take that international flight. read more

Tin Lung Heen was hands down the best restaurant we tried in Hong Kong. We had the pleasure of dining here to celebrate our honeymoon. The restaurant itself is breathtaking. Situated on the 102nd floor, you are guaranteed a beautiful view of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor. Everything we ordered at Tin Lung Heen was spectacular. Everything we ordered, I'd order again! What sets Tin Lung Heen apart from the other restaurants (besides their food) was the amazing service we received. Every employee that waited our table made sure to make the experience extraordinary. Their attentiveness, and kindness was really memorable. Thank you to the Tin Lung Heen team for making our celebration amazing! read more

Our party of 5 picked this place to have our one fancy schmancy Hong Kong meal, and this 2 star Michelin restaurant lived up to the hype for us!  It is located on the 102nd floor of the snazzy Ritz-Carlton hotel.  We arrived shortly before their noon opening and our reservation time, and it was a treat to loiter around the check-in area of the Ritz-Carlton all the way up on the 103rd floor as well as the guest waiting room for the Tin Lung Heen restaurant.  You can check the photos - everything is spectacular including the club-like waiting room with a spectacular view of Victoria Harbor and Hong Kong Island, and even the men's room, with a view as well as an old school real human attendant.  You can also view the spectacular restaurant from the open floor above it before going to the waiting room. As far as the dining, we were quite lucky to request and nab a wonderful corner window table on this clear mid-day Monday.  It really made this the best, most memorable, and most spectacular dim sum/lunch ever for me.  The boss ladies (my wife and her sister) did the ordering and they did a fine job ordering the best values on the menu and our total lunch bill for 5 including the conventional 10% service charge came out to 2497 HKD or $322 USD.  For the quality of the food and the service and the setting, it was a steal and we could have easily spent thousands of USD if we wanted to. There's a photo with an itemized bill that best shows what was ordered by name, but basically it was 5 assorted dim sum dishes (each around $16 USD), a 1/2 serving of their signature BBQ pork for $29 USD, and two executive set lunches each at $80 USD.  For each of the executive set lunches, there were also 5 items (as usual we shared it all family style) as well as a glass of delectable wine and a photo of that specific menu is also attached.  I and the sister-in-law's husband really enjoyed the potent 2020 Richard Hamilton Australian shiraz as well as the 2 Michelin star wine service.  All of the food items were tip-top fresh and delicious, as well as artfully and beautifully presented.  There were numerous servers involved in the table service and they were all real pros - super attentive and polite but also quite aware to not be overbearing.  I also enjoyed the people watching - the patrons here were all amongst Hong's Kong's creme-de-la-creme beautiful people and I enjoyed every minute of this dining experience. Overall, 10 out of 5 stars lol.  Would I do this one again? - honestly, and as an out-of-towner, probably not as it's a wonderful one and done.  But I would certainly like to experience more 2 Michelin star restaurants with good values like this one! read more

Just share my parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration during my Hong Kong trip, we decided to have dinner at Tin Lung Heen, the Michelin 1-star restaurant. The best part is that we'll be able to fully appreciate the amazing food since we'll be dining during the day. Trust me, the dishes were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. And the service? Top-notch! We had our own server who took care of everything. It was such a satisfying experience overall.

Ting Lung Heen is on the 102nd floor of the Ritz Carlton. Upon arrival, take the elevator to the 103rd then take the escalator down to the restaurant. The restaurant ambience is dramatic with an amazing view coupled with a sparkly interior. When you walk out of the bathroom, you see tons of colorful lights on the walkway and a lot of shiny crystals lining the walls. Service was good but not great. As an amuse bouche, they provided a plate of pickled vegetables but with no explanation. On the plus side, the waiter did order us half portions for some of the dishes based on his assessment as we ordered quite a bit for two. Deep fried shrimp toast was by far my favorite dish of the night followed closely by the bbq pork. The shrimp toast was fried bread topped with filleted shrimp cooked perfectly. As far as the pork, I have never had chinese BBQ pork so tender. It had a wonderful sweet crust and melted in your mouth. Deep fried shrimp toast Barbecued Iberian pork with honey Pan fried scallop with spring onion and crispy rice cracker Pan fried Kurobuta pork filled with foie gras and onion Wok fried wagyu beef with green pepper and garlic Wok fried dried bean curd with Matsutake mushroom, burdock and bean sprout Fried rice noodle with sliced rib, Chinese Kale and garlic Chilled mango cream with sago and pomelo Traditional baked egg custard tart read more

Tin Lung Heen is fine dining Cantonese restaurant at Ritz Carton in ICC. My friend made the rsvn weeks in advance for window seat. When we talked in, I'm pretty sure this is ultra high end restaurant. It's spacious, bright and model design with stunning interior. We got seated right beside window, 2 waiters to sever us tea and take the dim sim order. Steamed rice roll with Berkshire pig - Seriously, it's not regular bbq pork steamed rice rolls. The bbq pork itself so smooth and tender, it's delicious. Stir fried pea sprouts - The waiter told us this is first harvest log pea sprouts, it's s fresh. Truly, it's smooth like silky tofu and taste so green. Abalone tart - It's so mouthful and abalone very tasty too! Steamed shrimp dumplings - Shrimp dumplings were great and they put some gold leaf on each dumpling to make it more presentable. Pan fried radish cake - the presentation pretty good and radish cake not too greasy. Baked Ice mountain almond bun - the top and outside of bun so crispy and almond milk running inside. Just perfect. Crystal glutinous red bean buns - 2 little glutinous red bean balls on golden plate. LOL. It looked beautiful. The dim sims were divine, the environment quite classy and top-notch service in hotel restaurant. read more

The dim sum place of all dim sum places in Hong Kong. What can I say about Tin Lung Heen that other Yelpers haven't said yet?!? Tin Lung Heen is definitely a fine establishment that my family and I enjoy going to each time we are in town. Located on the 102nd floor of the Ritz Carlton, you can capture an amazing view of all of HK on a nice (smog free) day. Service is always attentive and on point + their dim sum selection is so unique and different. There are a lot of dishes that I can order here that I cannot get elsewhere. Presentation for each dish is also gorgeous, every dish was nicely plated. Well deserved 2 Michelin Stars restaurant! :) read more

Excellent service. What do you expect at a Ritz.. Amazing view of HK. Char siu buns were out of this world. Every dimsum was fresh and delicious. I thought my bill would be more but it's reasonable for a 5 stars hotel. This is not ordinary dimsum, it is amazing dimsum ! Going up to 102nd floor my ears clogged but the elevator ride was so fast..we were up there in less than 1 minute. Definitely a positive dining experience. read more

Wow. Just wow. Blown away by the atmosphere, the service, the food. Getting here is such a trip. We came up through the Elements shopping plaza, which involved going up on a series of escalators, going through a glass door, finding an elevator, getting to the Ritz Carlton's special elevator, then taking Ritz Carlton's elevator to the 102nd floor. The food is phenomenal. While also phenomenally expensive, the char siu, braised pork belly, and egg tarts were actually the best I have ever tried in my entire life. Hands down. Char siu was melt-in-your-mouth. Egg tarts were warm, perfectly flaky, perfectly the right amount of sweet... We also came at night and got to enjoy the night view that overlooked HK. So beautiful. I'm so sad because I don't think I will ever come here again because of how expensive it is (each egg tart was ~$8USD approx.), I am glad I did. read more

This Michelin 2 star restaurant was excellent. Food was so excellent tasting and unique. The service was so on the ball checking on us often and refilling drinks and removing plates.

The moment you walk into the restaurant the view takes your breath away. There is something captivating about looking out at Hong Kong Island and realizing you're sitting taller than all the other buildings in Hong Kong. The level of service at Tin Lung Heen is impeccable. It was beyond what you what expect at a Ritz Carlton. Despite a busy restaurant, the manager, Roy and his team treated us like we were the only people in the entire restaurant. Roy greeted us with a smile and made sure we had a memorable experience. He was knowledgable about the menu and provided appropriate guidance when necessary. He even provided recommendations to make sure we weren't over and under ordering. Everything on the menu looked incredible. The meat dishes were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I opted out of the tasting menu and ordered a la carte. Roy was still able to create a tasting menu of our own and put them in the perfect order. He really knew what he was doing. I can't thank him enough for making the dinner so enjoyable. read more

This restaurant perfectly represents the reason why I get excited about visiting Hong Kong - you cannot find this level of Chinese cooking anywhere else in the world. I have dined at Tin Lung Heen twice, four years apart. The second time was as great as the first. 2 stars well deserved. The star dish of this restaurant is the BBQ pork. I have yet to find a restaurant anywhere that has char siu that comes close to what Tin Lung Heen is putting out. I won't go into detail about all the other dishes, but they were all fantastic. If you're a little price sensitive, come during lunch. The service is something that you would expect from a Michelin starred restaurant - super attentive and helpful staff. The interior decor is modern chic and the views are jaw dropping. Located on the 102nd floor of the ICC, you have a great view of Hong Kong (when the skies are clear). Heck, even the washroom has an amazing view. Notes: - You get to the restaurant through the Ritz Carlton hotel elevators. Just ask any of the building staff and they can direct you. - You can make online reservations. read more

3.5 stars, it's honestly good, just expensive for what it is.... I was really excited to dine here, especially because I was already staying at the Ritz Carlton and did not want to travel far for dinner, not to mention, it is also a 2 Michelin starred restaurant. Anyways, it was our 11th Anniversary dinner and we were on vacation in HK. Let me clarify that the staff here is incredible, very attentive and friendly, with great knowledge of the menu. The food was a step up from my favorite Chinese Restaurant in my hometown (reminds me of a past review of Mr Chow's in Beverly Hills) that is about $60 for the same amount of food. While everything was good I do not believe the restaurant warrants a single Michelin star. We have been to other 2 star Michelin restaurants before (Quince & Coi SF) that I feel were so much more exceptional. Maybe it is a lot easier to earn that title in HK. I wouldn't return for the cost, about 5,800 HKD for our meal with tip. I believe that translates to about $800 USD. I wouldn't return for the satisfaction/price ratio. read more

Tin Lung Heen - Excellent cocktail, unfortunately I do not recall the name of it - Cantonese Near Me - Kowloon, HK

Everything about the Tin Lung Heen experience is phenomenal. Rolling up to the Ritz there is an amazing view of Hong Kong island, and that's just on the ground level. By the time you get to 102 everything just looks even more spectacular! I came with some friends and we shared a few different dishes, but I hope I save you some time with my review. Please don't order anything other than one of their signature dishes - the Barbecued Iberian Pork with honey. Just go and order like 15 of these. Honestly, the best pork dish I've ever had and one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. We started with the shrimp toast, which was good. The deep fried brisket is another dish that was reaaally good, but still next to the iberian pork it pales. Didn't want to leave without trying a noodle dish, so we ordered the Pan-fried noodle with chicken fillet and fresh abalone in black bean sauce, definitely recommend. We also had the Wok-fried red Italian king prawn with chili and garlic. It was very tasty, but for 238HK per person I'm not sure it was necessarily worth the money. The service at Tin Lung Heen is impeccable. From the moment you arrive, to the close, there are multiple staff members waiting on you to ensure that everything is going well. Our bottle of wine was not particularly up to par, so they sent an additional one on the house. Tin Lung Heen is a must visit. read more

A solid two michelin star restaurant in hongkong. Only one cantonese 3 michelin star restaurant in hongkong exist and also very very few 2 star exist. The vibe and atmosphere this restaurant creates is unreal like out of the movie scene. Night view would be even better. The food was bit difficult for me to eat. Maybe I'm not so into Cantonese cuisine. I really did not enjoy my food but the atmosphere was wonderful. I would refuse to eat another meal here and actually I didn't eat half of the food that came out. I tried my hard to eat all of the portion but after a bite, I did not want to eat such a strong scented food since I love more natural taste. The food did not work for me but still loved the overall experience of dining here. I cannot give a bad review just because it is not my style or taste, hence I'd give 3/5 stars. read more

The ambiance of Tin Lung Heen is opulent, while the view from the 102nd floor is fabulous at night. The fabulous and famous Golden Corridor of wine cellars is something I wish I had at home. The food was cooked and seasoned perfectly with beautiful presentation. The wait staff were very attentive and even offered me a pashmina when I felt a bit chilly. The dinner service was impeccable. My husband and I opted for the Signature Tasting Menu with wine pairing, as this was our first time at this restaurant. For an 8-course dinner, the portion sizes were on the generous side...actually, too large for how rich and fatty a lot of the dishes are. Don't get me wrong - I love tasty fatty foods, but this seemed way too much. The wine pairing was largely excellent, as the acidity of the wines really cut through the richness of the dishes and simultaneously complemented the dishes. That being said, the last pairing of Sauternes with the Chef's Specialty Dessert was unequivocally bad - way too much sweet on sweet that didn't even complement each other. Having read other reviews on TLH, I think we will sample their dim sum offerings, as well as their Peking duck, during lunch or dinner in the future. We shall return! read more

If I had to describe this in short, I would say it's a B+/A-. I wanted so bad to love everything about this place, but it was filled with lots of (very) high highs sprinkled in with some frustratingly forgettable elements. To be sure, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a splurge on a great meal -- and it was a great meal. But I felt that for the price, and as far as the quality was, there was just something missing here and I walked away wondering if there was something we didn't know. Let's start with the atmosphere: everything about this restaurant is gorgeous. It screams high-class and luxury. From the very subtle music playing in the background to the friendly staff -- and you will have many people helping you -- you definitely feel like you are in a stellar dining experience. The presentation of the food is top-notch and it has a good wine list. But I would say the view where we sat kind of sums this up: its a skyline view, but it's not THE skyline view (at least from where we were sitting). Make sure you take a look before you decide this is the restaurant you are going to for The View. The food was kind of a similar experience. The Peking Duck and barbecue were outstanding, but it was filled with some dishes that just mismatched expectations. To be sure, all of these were GOOD, just not INCREDIBLE. The egg custard had some of the best pastry crust I've ever had, but the rest of the dessert was pretty forgettable. The wagyu beef was delicious and melt-in-your-mouth status, but the rest of the pearl onion dish was just fine. It felt like there just wasn't a clear continuity of quality and it was filled with a lot of highs and a lot of middling elements. The staff definitely stepped it up in order to offer us recommendations as we decided against the tasting menu, but as a whole I felt like the experience was just alright given the price and expectations we had going in. I would save this one for a celebration pending research on the other places in Hong Kong as you'll be pretty spoiled for choice. As a whole, a good experience, but it just felt like it wasn't at the level we wanted at the end of our trip. read more

Excellent food, classy atmosphere and awesome service. This place is perfect for dim sum. The best part about their dim sum is they use the bamboo tray to steam it instead of the metal one most dimsum place use. And their bamboo tray is actually clean. I can't say that for very many places in Hong Kong! Not to mention the gold flakes on top of their har gow is a very nice artistic touch. Their abalone siu mai is absolutely delicious. The whelk rice noodle is very unique and tasty, it is an absolute must try! This restaurant definitely knows how to make their dim sum better than the rest of Hong Kong! read more

Tin Lung Heen is as good as it gets if you want the ultimate dining experience in Hong Kong. Please note this review is for dinner only and something that I should point out is that their dim sum is not available for dinner so if that is what you want, come here for lunch. Tin Lung Heen is located in the very impressive Ritz Carlton on the 102nd floor. The views are out of this world and so is the service. By far the best service I have had in a very very long time. Truly fine dining with everyone just being so attentive, kind, polite, and talkative without hovering. The food was fantastic too. We started with the deep fried shrimp toast that was amazing. It came with three sauces and the shrimp coupled with the fried rice type texture below was just such a perfect way to start our meal and get our appetite going. We also ordered the Iberian pork (sweet, crispy outside and melt in your mouth inside), fried chicken (perfectly fried chicken skin with moist chicken meat inside) and rice noodles with wagyu beef (wagyu beef with rice noodles at one of the best restaurants in HK.. no description needed). We couldn't have been happier with this very special meal that just had us smiling throughout the entire meal. Because we dined there they also called ahead to the Ozone bar ( I believe the highest bar in the world that is also at the Ritz Carlton) and someone personally walked us there to make sure we had a seat. Tin Lung Heen also gave us a tea present as a souvenir. As mentioned we didn't get to try the dim sum because it wasnt offered for dinner but if you want a truly enjoyable "I work hard and am on vacation and want the best of the best" meal for dinner, then do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Tin Lung Heen. read more

So far my favorite upscale restaurant in Hong Kong. Elegant atmosphere, beautiful views, incredible decor, BUT the best part was the food!! Amazing and unique. Their crab on a shell deep fried, accompanied with ginger fried crisps was sooo tasty! Best dish i have had to date on this trip. And don't forget dessert... i am a custard fan so i ordered the egg custard tarts when I placed my order (keep in mind that they they take 20 minutes to prepare). They were a great way to end the meal. Delicious but not too sweet, They also gave us a few petit fours at the end of the meal. Their sesame-almond bite was so delicious that I asked if I could purchase some. The answer is no, but they were so kind to just give me a few gratis!! Lovely service, terrific atmosphere, delicious food!!! read more

We wanted to originally come here for dim sum but we instead came here on a weekday lunch and got the Executive Lunch Set menu. It was well worth it, though I am sure the dim sum was super fresh and great quality. First before we move onto the food - view and ambiance are amazing. It's on the 103th floor so if you're sitting near the window, it's lovely to look out onto the port. Not to mention the restaurant is in the beautiful Ritz Carlton. Service is warm, friendly, polite, prompt- what you would expect for a fancier restaurant? The executive set lunch menu started off with the signature honey glazed pork (delicious!), and super fresh veggie dumpling. All kinds of Asian vegetables and other ingredients we can't get at home. The next course was a longan soup, winter melon, tender pork (very tender!). Very refreshing and clean. Followed by a delicious pairing of crispy seared scallop and greens with pinenut. Then we ended with duck confit and steamed fried rice. The duck might have been the worst dish we had unfortunately, I wish it was a crispy peking duck. It was just kind of a stir-fry. The fried rice was really good though - I enjoyed the shrimp and banana-wrapped rice. We ended with an exciting dessert of Chinese jelly candy, egg tart with sweet cotton candy like hair (trust me, it looked like hair, I don't know how else to describe it haha), and egg milk pudding with a truffle on top. I must say, I unfortunately did not enjoy this dessert. The truffle was a bit funky and overall I wish I had instead had the Cantonese style hot tapioca soup or some kind of sponge cake. The executive set includes a glass of wine (a plus!) so we both opted for the Bordeux blend from France - very flavorful and smooth. They gave us a nice departing gift of the tea that we had with lunch-a fragrant black green tea. read more

-------------------------------------------------- ESSENTIAL TIPS & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: -------------------------------------------------- # As of the 2014 and 2015 Hong Kong Michelin Guide, this is a 2 Michelin Star Cantonese restaurant. Specifically, specializing in dim sum. # A reservation beforehand is recommended though I got my booking the day before for lunch right when they opened at 11:30 AM on Saturday. # Before I knew yelp existed in HK, I scoured all of Tripadvisor to see what people recommended. I followed their recommendation and I will give you the same. The 2 must-have specialty dishes here are (1) the Iberian BBQ Pork and (2) Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Fish Maw in Baby Coconut...whew that's a long title. # In regards to the 2 dishes that I cite, if you're a huge critic like me, your mind won't explode into pleasure bits from eating them. They're very good, but not mind-blowing. # This restaurant employs excellent dim sum cooking and I probably will have to agree that this place deserves its 2 stars though I kinda entertain the idea they should have 1. lol, I'm mean. I should never be a Michelin inspector -- not that I want to. # Okay so if you're not looking to spend loads of money, watch how fast you drink the water! HUH?? You only get a choice of bottled still or sparkling water and it's not free. As you drink, the servers will keep pouring then when the 1st bottle runs out, they'll open another. If you don't want to pay extra fees, just drink your water slowly. # If you order just enough dim sum to provide yourself a self-made tasting course, you won't spend a ridiculous amount here. I think I spent about US$200 for 4 people. That's not too bad considering you could spend $400 PER PERSON at other michelin restaurants. # On the way to the bathroom, take a peek at their wine cellar hallway. I believe it connects to Tosca, another Michelin-rated restaurant (1 star). The hallway will mesmerize you with its gold, silver, mirrors, and glass. You'll know when you see it. My sisters and I took a picture in the hallway. -------------------------------------------------- MY EXPERIENCE: -------------------------------------------------- If you subtract out the fine table cloths, the skyline view of Hong Kong, the server in a suit, and the elegant feeling you get when you walk in -- I will say that the food itself is expertly prepared, but not life-changing even if you get the Iberian pork and fish maw coconut soup. I'll tell you about the dim sum course then I'm going to peace out. [START] Right when you sit down, you get a tiny porcelain dish full of candied walnuts or some kind of nuts. It tasted like...candied walnuts. Yeah! Don't get too excited just because it's a michelin star restaurant. They're not that incredible. But for some reason, our server brought chili oil with the walnuts. I was confused and in my confusion, I decided to dip my candied walnuts in the chili oil and eat it. Was it right? Was it wrong? I have no idea. It was probably wrong, but it's too late. Also, I drank my water slowly after realizing my group will get charged per bottle, but 2 out of 3 sisters were thirsty so they kept on drinking. [DIM SUM IS SERVED] (o) Iberian Pork: very tasty and tender, but the minds of my sisters and I were not blown apart. You should still order it. It's very high quality pork from Spain. The pig is raised under specific standards and specifications. (o) Double-boiled Chicken with Fish Maw in Young Coconut: Oh god that title is so longggg. The soup broth is light and refreshing since young coconut water is mixed in. The fish maw is beautifully curled up in the coconut and light in taste as well. I liked this dish because it was clean and relaxing? Sorry I can't find the right word. Kinda makes me wish I had the cold then had this soup, it probably would feel amazing, but being sick sucks so no. (o) Half Order of Peking Duck: delicious and loved the crispy skin and tender meat. The kitchen did a great job preparing this dish. There is no grease, dryness, or problems with the dish at all. (o) Chicken Feet in Yellow Mustard Sauce: The chicken feet was soft and tender, but the mustard sauce was a little too strong. The mustard sauce was great, but I couldn't get over the sour / slightly spicy / burning taste. I personally think it overpowered the chicken feet which is delicate in taste since it's all collagen. [DESSERT] I forgot sorry, but I know they were just fine. Not amazing, but fine. I think Tin Lung Heen only has a few options for dessert. Did they give a complimentary dessert too? Damn I can't remember. This is why you need to review right after eating at a restaurant or at least write notes. I only wrote partial notes -- whatever. Hope my eating experience helps you maximize your fine dim-sum experience! read more

This is a two part review of one of the best places I dined at in Hong Kong. 1. The dinner we had here was the Spring Tasting menu and it was very unique and flavorful. Alot of seasonal flavors and meticulously put together by a world class chef, no doubt. The manager also brought us out some BBQ Iberico Pork which was super good. I probably would go back and get massive amounts of the BBQ pork and Roasted pork as it was the best I had anywhere in HK. The decor is ridiculously nice and is on the 102nd floor of the Ritz Carlton. The views are crazy and this has to be one of the nicest restaurants i've ever been in. Definitely worthy of the 2 star Michelin rating. 2. Now lets get to what really made me drool. We came back a couple days later to have Dim Sum here and WOWWWWW! I meant woww this has to be the best damn dim sum i've ever eaten in my life. This punks all others and makes the dim sum I eat here in the US look like pop tarts for breakfast. Not only was it exquisite and had gold flakes on the har gow, but the taste of everything was outstanding and not greasy at all like most other dim sum places you probably are accustomed to. If you ever come to HK and dont come here for dim sum, you will have FOMO for the rest of your life. It was that good and im not even exaggerating. This was probably the best meal I had the entire time I was in HK. If I could give this meal alone 6 stars, I would. The service is impeccable and as good as it gets. read more

BEST DIM SUM IN HONG KONG IN MY OPINION! Excellent iberico pork charsiew. Must order. Roast pork is crispy and melts in your mouth. Favorite dish is probably the turnip cake with XO sauce. Order the mango pomelo dessert with the egg tarts and fried sesame custard balls. Tables might be hard to book so make sure you call ahead. Weekend seatings are at 11.30am and at 1pm. read more

Quality of food, on point. View, not bad. Restroom, amazing. Wine hall, ig worthy. We ordered from the dim sum menu instead of getting the set because personally I don't think the executive set menu was all that exciting. The most memorable we the dumpling in supreme soup, it was like a soup within a soup with layers of flavor. It's hard to explain but just order that one and you won't regret. read more

Absolutely phenomenal display of canton food. Being born and raised in Hong Kong, I had high expectations for this 2 Michelin Star restaurant and they did not disappoint! My mum and I had their lunch tasting menu and the char siu was out of this world. Even for HK standards, it was at a new level that is hard to describe. All dishes executed very well. Service was excellent. They even offered us to move to a new table with a better view when they noticed a table opened up! And small things that really make it count. For example with the bill, we gave them our credit card but it took them a while to bring it back so we asked them to follow up. For the inconvenience, they gave us two small tea samples. I understand it's not worth much. But the thought was what counted. read more
