Dishes listed and ranked by best to least: 1. Dim Sum Trio (Steamed Pork Dumpling with Lobster, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Bamboo Shoot, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Asparagus and Scallop): Classis dumpings cooked perfectly and made with high quality ingredients. It's a must order. 2. Deep-fried Fresh Crab Claw Stuffed with Minced Shrimp: Crispy, crunchy and big chunky shrimp inside. Also delicious! 3. Signature Barbecue Combination- Honey-glazed Barbecued Pork and Roasted Pork Belly: The classic dish of Hong Kong. Not quite as good as places like Mott 32 but very good. 4. Deep-fried Shrimp Toast with Salted Egg Yolk: it's a classic dish and done well. A single big shrimp is used instead of minced parts 5. Deep-fried Glutinous Dumplings with Pork, Shrimp and Carrot Juice: The insides were delicious but the dumpling was only warm and not as crisp as it should be. 6. Shanghai-style Pork Soup Dumplings: good but not special. 7. Simmered Seasonal Vegetables and Mushrooms in Fish Broth: also good but not special. Overall it was a great experience and we only tried a fraction of the menu. We'll be back for more!

One-Michelin-starred dim sum! Couldn't miss the opportunity to check it out during our visit to…read moreHong Kong. This is just sit-down, made-to-order dim sum, rather than traditional cart-style. They have a couple of set menus, although we just did a la carte so we could get exactly what we wanted. We had a large party so were able to split and try quite a few dishes luckily! I don't think anything really wowed me, but each dish was pretty consistently good and the overall cost at the end wasn't bad. To be honest, I'm not sure what makes it stand out so much to get a Michelin star, but I still think it's a great place for a large group meal if you're looking for something with a less casual vibe. This was definitely the most elevated ambiance out of all the dim sum I've had just based on the interior design and how spaced out the tables were. I don't think service was as attentive as a lot of other Michelin-starred restaurants, but I think that's just how dim sum is, and I'm honestly not a huge fan of the overly attentive service at a lot of nice restaurants anyways. Overall, amazing value for a one Michelin star dining experience. Good dim sum at decent prices, and suitable for large groups.

This place is one of my favorite dim sum spots in Hong Kong! No frills, just simply delicious. The…read moreBEST item on the menu are the BBQ pork buns. They are not the white steamed ones that most places served. They are baked to perfection! The buns are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and they don't skimp on the filling. The filling itself is already so mouthwatering. They have unique dim sum options too like quail egg shumais, or black truffle shumais. All in all, I will definitely return if I ever find myself on this side of Victoria Harbor. Service was pretty fast! The ambiance is nice and cozy. Not a ton of seating, but we lucked out on a spacious booth.

After 4 days in HK and my 3rd time eating DimSum, this is the best so far but it is more modern style rather the card going around. The place is trendy of clean cut modern complementary decor so you have that business vibe rather than the old fashion chatty take your time (which you can) vibe. Overall, love it.

I would say that this restaurant serves the Asian equivalent of American diner comfort food. In…read moreHong Kong, we like to eat dim sum, roast meats with rice, or stir fried noodles. These are our comfort foods. My family and I ordered their roast pork, roast goose, and shoyu chicken with white rice. These came with a side of milk tea. They also served dim sum when we came here. So, we ordered pork siu mai, beef meatballs, and braised chicken feet. Some people would cringe with the chicken feet. But, I grew up eating this. So,don't knock it until you've tried it. All of the meats were fragrant and delicious. I'm partial to the roast pork, since it comes with crispy pork skin. The white rice had good texture, and they weren't stingy with the amount they gave us. But, like the mustard greens that came along with this meal, I wish both of these were actually temperature hot when they served it to us. At best, they were lukewarm and they got cold easily, which I didn't like. The dim sum was pretty good. Not as good as Dimdimsum. But, if we wanted both rice dishes and dim sum, we can come here to get our fix. Just like a diner, this joint is loud and very hustle and bustle. The bell rings and the staff brings you your food pretty quickly. We can be in and out of this place pretty easily. The staff can be quite gruff as well. But, that's normal with any waitstaff here in Hong Kong. Just come and enjoy some Hong Kong style comfort food while you're here.

Back to the actual topic of food though, honestly any dim sum here in HK exceeds Houston by so much that I can't even bridge the gap with words. Portions were larger, dumpling skin was thinner/softer, rice noodle/rolls were silkier, and pork ribs were so damn tender. The flavor of chicken feet done just right. Maybe this is nothing special for those who have regular access to dim sum in HK. For those of us overseas who can only find half decent imitations, Lin Heung Lou is as good as it gets #373

Some of my family members in HK claimed it to be one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong. Certainly when I walked into the restaurant, I was amazed by their incredible interior and dining space, also had the view of the harbor. They have huge dining hall that easily fits few hundred guests. We ordered pearl shrimp dumplings, crab cake, roasted duck and waygu beef noodles soup for our meal. All the items had amazing flavor. Roasted duck had delicious crispy skin. I had never seen waygu beef in a soup dish before. The soup was mixed with vegetables, little spicy, but full of flavor. The service was top notch at the restaurant. All the staff members were super attentive, making sure water glasses/ tea cups were full all the time, cleaning out empty dishes and helping guests with all other requests. Dishes were served in short time, only the baked crab cake took long. The restaurant also gives 20% discount Marriott Bonvoy members. They also have some half priced dishes for Bonvoy members as well.

Food: 4.25 stars Service/environment: 4.75 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: char siu, egg rolls, fried rice, daily soup, fried fish appetizer The lists of best char siu in Hk often includes Dynasty in the list. This distinction is well deserved and definitely something that should be ordered on your visit. The shrimp egg rolls here are really great as well as the small fried fish appetizer. They really know how to deep fry things here where the dishes are crispy and light. Do make sure to save room for dessert as the desserts here are also very good.

I am a huge fan of Crystal Jade, but always divided between this place and Din Tai Fung. There are…read morea few slight differences in terms of the menu offerings and the preparation of the dishes, but you can be assured that the food at these two establishments are top notch. If you decide on Crystal Jade, be prepared to wait. If you go before the peak lunch and dinner time, there is little to no wait, less than 5-10 mins at the most. Once you hit dinner time, the wait is an excruciating 30-45 mins, especially at the popular Times Square, IFC, and Ocean Terminal (TST) locations. I've been pretty lucky to avoid any wait at Din Tai Fung, but then maybe it's because I've only gone during the weekdays. Back to Crystal Jade, here are my must-orders: - Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs per order) 小籠包 - Dan Dan Mian 擔擔麵 - Gluten with beans and black fungus - Pork wontons in chili vinaigrette 紅油抄手 - La Mian with Deep Fried Pork Cutlets - Hot/cold soy milk 熱/冷 豆漿 I love the juiciness of the XLB at Crystal Jade, the pork filling was wrapped in a delicate dumpling skin that I found more chewy than the DTF one. Dan Dan Mian had a spicy kick with a classic peanut-vinegar-y sauce. They cut the noodles in half for you, so that it's easy to share. I do wish there was an option to add some chicken or pork to the dish. The cold soy milk comes in perfectly to counter-act the spicy DDM noodles. The fried pork cutlets surprised me. A lot of the dishes here at heavy on the carbs, and for someone who's on the lookout for protein, I decided to test my luck with this. The pork cutlets were deep fried with a marinade of curry and some paprika for color! The pairing with the La Mian was delicious with a nice contrasting light broth. The pork wontons in chili vinaigrette 紅油抄手 are what distinguish different restaurants from each other. I'd say that it's a close tie between CJ and DTF, with CJ slightly better. It was overwhelming spicy and the prawns inside were juicy.
