It's early for dim sum for us in the States because we usually have dim sum for lunch around 11:30/noon but here, dim sum is great all day long. The place was already packed when I arrived and we had to share tables for a while until the gentleman we were sharing it with was ready to leave. Afterwards, we ordered off the menu, marking what we wanted and waiting for them to steam the items so that they come out fresh! We ordered a ton of dim sum, which is why you always need to go to dim sum with a group of people so that you can have a taste of everything. Of the things we ordered, I loved the chicken feet, the BBQ pork buns, and the fried turnip cakes the most. The chicken feet was extremely flavorful and meaty. The flavor was great and will definitely turn doubters into lovers. The BBQ pork buns were packed with filling. The meat was also not as red as the ones you would find elsewhere which is great cuz I'm pretty sure it's all food coloring anyways. You bite into it and expect a ton of fat but nope, it's all meat. Finally, the turnip cake was lightly fried and and stacked on top of each other. Also packed with turnips so you aren't getting jyped with a flour cake. Comes with some hot sauce to add that punch of flavor but not necessary even for spicy food lovers like me. I always say dim sum in Hong Kong beats dim sum in the States and this proves it. Everything was better IMO. (Except for maybe the Egg Yolk Buns that were supposed to be runny...they came out kind of solid and lacked that oozing filling I was expected) But besides that, the food was great, which makes up for the subpar service. Our empty dim sum dishes were not quickly picked up and they were slow to refill tea but besides that the service was OK. If you are in the area and looking for dim sum, you should drop by. It gets packed in the morning with the elderly getting their breakfast on but if you are willing to share a table, you will get a treat with the dim sum.

Yes, the meal selection here is smaller than LG7, but the siu mei (Cantonese roasted meats) here is allegedly tastier (but no goose). My meals have ranged from 21-25 HKD. Many students on campus dislike the egg tarts here, but I actually liked them a LOT, more than the famous Tai Cheong egg tarts, so it is up to personal taste-- Canteen II egg tarts are more creamy/custard like with the flaky crust, as opposed to Tai Cheong's jelly-like consistency and more cookie-like crust. These egg tarts are only 3 HKD, but there are only two batches a day, ~9 AM and ~3 PM. In the morning, they put out a good selection of buns, which vary day-to-day. I highly recommend their pineapple bun and Italian rosemary ciabatta. The tuna bun was okay, and I would not get their sausage and cheese but again. The buns range from 4-6 HKD.

Ambience not the cleanest: a hole-in-wall, re-wash all your dishes place. But great dimsum that's pretty cheap - hence they are known as the most affordable Michelin Star restaurant in the world, with 1 star for good quality tasting food for price range. This location is just one of their many Tim Ho Wan branches so if this location is too far for you, there's several other branches in HK and even elsewhere in the world (e.g. NYC). Take out is an option- especially if you have children you don't want touching all the less clean surface areas. They do have high chairs and they don't exempt tea charge for toddlers. As for the dishes, our favorites were the Baked Bun with BBQ Pork and Steamed Egg Cake, which they are known for and indeed taste delicious. Hubby liked their Pan Fried Turnip Cake. We also liked the Glutinous Rice Dumpling which was 1 huge leaf wrapped steamed rice with meat (law mae gae). The Steamed Rice with Chicken Feet and Spareribs was another tasty dish. The Steamed Pork Dumpling with Shrimp (har gow) and Deep Fried Dumplings filled with Pork (ham sui gwok) were OK but was smaller than usual and didn't stand out. The Vermicelli with Beef Roll is one to avoid since the beef in it was too chewy. Overall, great tasting dishes! If looking for elevator to take you down to the lowest level of the mall where they are located, find the elevator on the 2nd floor next to Manning Kids.

To get the meat is where the real work comes into play. I just like sitting down, talking, and digging in. Went here in September during their promotion of the hairy crab all you can eat menu and was not disappointed. Price was a little on the high end but it was super worth it!!

Met with some relatives for dinner at this restaurant and was amazed at the amount of food choices. Since we had about 8 people, we just went with one of the seafood set dinner menus that they had available. Within the set menu, we were given a choice of king crab or lobsters. They had some huge crabs in the tanks out front, and we were able to pick one right fresh out of the tank for our meal. Fantastic! All the appropriate steam times are visually shown on your place mat. The set menu came with beef, chicken, pork, fish, crab, etc. All the ingredients were extremely fresh. The king crab, shrimp, and fish were the highlights for me. The crab meat was so incredibly sweet and tender. I could honestly eat that everyday. They also put some broth and fresh rice at the bottom of the steam pot. As you're steaming all your ingredients, all the flavors travel down into the broth and cook the rice into porridge. One thing to note is that it was a really long process to get everything cooked and eaten. I think we were there for 2.5~3 hours. However, there's really no way to really go home hungry after all that food...

The food was good (especially the massive wontons) and came out fast enough. Portions were good and we didn't feel hungry once we got to our next destination. However, their place felt cramped, as there wasn't much room for our child's stroller, and the staff informing us that they had no child seats, forced us to take turns eating. This place, while good to eat, definitely isn't as family-friendly as we hoped. Space issues notwithstanding, we will keep this place on our shortlist for the next time we are in HK, though the next visit will have to be with grownups as it's not an ideal choice for families with small children.

There are two lift areas to go up - one in the main lobby and one off to the right side, down a narrow hallway (best for when the main lifts are too busy). When talking to my friends about the best places for dim sum, establishments such as Maxim's Palace, Tim Ho Wan, Lei Garden, Dim Dim Sum and One Dim Sum pop up. But not many know about Ho Choi... Why is that? I'm actually not too sure myself. They have two branches in Sheung Wan/Sai Wan, which could be far for some, and one in Kwun Tong (which I frequent because it's close to where I work). Some say the original Ho Choi in Sheung Wan/Sai Wan is OK, nothing to special, so I decided to take a visit out to see if they were correct. (A separate review for the Sai Wan one will be posted soon!) But I can definitely vouch for Ho Choi in Kwun Tong to be one of my favorite places! The tables in the main area - that is, not in a "room" - are up for grabs, first come first serve. Get there before 12:10pm to beat the lunch crowd, or risk waiting for a while. The best thing, if you want to skip the wait, is to make a reservation for one of the tables in the "rooms" for ordering main dishes (小菜). You must order 3 or more main dishes when seated at those tables. But of course, you can still order dim sum there. Win-win! Also, because it's sectioned off from the main area, it's much quieter and more conducive to business lunches. While the prices for dim sum and main dishes have gone up in recent years (inflation, rental increases, etc), rest assured you are still getting your money's worth of delicious food! They used to have different price tiers - cheaper in the morning, standard rates during weekday lunch times, and higher prices on the weekends - but upon checking the prices during my last visit, it looks like they are now fixed. For 5 people, with 4 main dishes, and 6 dim sum plates, the total came to be just under HKD 700. Excellent bang for your buck! The tea charge is $12 per person, which is fairly standard. Dim sum plates are tiered, starting at $17 for 'small', up to $32-$35 for 'specialty' plates. Ordering the dim sum is very easy, as you just need to fill in a Scantron-like sheet (college throw-back eh?), with dishes listed in English and Chinese. I was asked to order for the table: - Crispy chicken (half) 脆皮雞 (半) - so crispy, so good! - Sweet and sour pork 咕嚕肉 - my first time ordering the 咕嚕肉 here and everyone raved about it! The freshly prepared sweet and sour pork is a game-changer here and puts those found at a buffet to shame. - Sauteed broccoli with scallops - need those vegetables and seafood! - E-fu noodles with shrimp and egg whites - I appreciate the lack of salt and strong flavors in this noodle dish, as it helps to balance out the other salty and heavy dishes. Thankfully no MSG! Dim sum on point. I'm already hungry for more, even from writing this review. Top favorites here are the BBQ pork buns, chicken feet with black bean sauce (my absolute favorite!), Chiu Chow dumplings (潮州粉粿), and Jin Deui sesame balls (煎堆). If you still have space for dessert, go for it. If you don't, still go for it.

Parking: self service parking at the side of the road outside the village. You have to validate the pass from the restaurant (the attendant was missing when we left). Public transportation: #16 Light commuter from Hau Tak shopping center. Get off at the last stop. This is a Dai pai dong but with a roof. A no frills but good food restaurant. No AC but since it is located right on a pier, there is a bit of a breeze. Plus an abundant amount of ceiling fans to keep cool in the summer months. There are many tanks of seafood for selection right at the entrance of the restaurant. Choose what you want and tell them how you want it prepared. Razor clams - sautéed with black beans and peppers. it was so fresh, no fishy taste and extremely sweet and not sandy. Geoduck - thinly sliced sashimi on a giant bowl of ice. The bowl looked like it weighted 10lbs! Hot pot on the side to blanch the breast meat(the part that is hidden in the shell) and for others who do not eat raw food. It was my first time eating geoduck. My favorite dish of the night! The sashimi is the sliced neck meat (the part that protrudes out). It had a crunchy yet smooth texture with a hint of sweetness. The breast meat when cooked is soft and spongy. Scallop - seamed with vermicelli, scallions and garlic. So good! Mantis shrimp - fried. You gotta get your hands dirty and peel off the shell. I had to get over the fact that it looked so creepy with its' many shrimp like legs and the weird looking head. Under all that shell is a lobster ish texture meat. Taste was a cross between shrimp and lobster. Crab - sautéed with scallions and ginger. It was so meaty and had a lot of orange caviar. I love crab! Fish - steamed and with a soy sauce poured over and topped with scallions. Simple. Fish was about 3-4lbs and meaty. Like everything else, not fishy tasting because it was freshly picked from the tank. Chicken - someone from another table followed the waiter to my table just to check out the chicken. Extremely smooth meat. Cuttlefish- fried, was good but arrived at the end of the meal. Good but not as amazing as everything else. In conclusion, Eat where the locals eat!
