The food is not as good as din tai fung, but it is a very close second. For example, din tai fung will chop their veggies up by hand into very tiny pieces. The veggies here are not as finely chopped but still taste great. Atmosphere (**** of *****) modern chinese decor with upbeat soft techno muzac. Service (*** out of *****) typical quick hong kong service, brusque, yet efficient. Conclusion (**** out of *****) very good shanghainese food, yet inexpensive. Gave them an extra star for value since they do not add a tea service fee nor a mandatory service charge to your bill.

A hole in a wall type Shanghai restaurant with delicious authentic food. You must order the…read moreShanghai fried noodles and fried dumplings! They are to die for!! We had the Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 as well, they were okay. The juicy meat was there but the skin was a bit thick, not practically good for the HK standard. Nevertheless, eveything else was delicious. If you go during lunch, they have lunch sets that include a dish, vege rice or white rice and a soup for less than $50 HK. One down side for westerners is that everything is in Chinese and I'm not sure if they have an Eng or a picture menu. If you don't read Chinese and are alone, you can look for the dishes you want in traditional Chinese and bring the list there. It's worth it for an authentic experience!!

I was craving some good XLB and I knew Din Tai Fung would deliver so I came here for lunch. Good…read morething I came early because there was a line by the time I left. Service was excellent and I loved how attentive the staff were. I ordered the pork XLB, the Dan Dan mian, and a Coke. Everything came out super hot. The XLB was very juicy and wrapper to meat ratio was perfect. I would definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area or craving for XLB again.

If you're a fan of Din Tai Fung, then I recommend visiting one when you are abroad in Asia. We've…read morebeen to a few locations in the States and they are just as good or better overseas. You get 6 dumplings vs 10 in the States. The soup dumplings are delish. The black truffle dumplings were flavorful. I love the variety of dishes that you are exclusive to each location so a chance to try something new! We didn't have to wait too long since we were dining at a later hour. Prices are on the higher end. Service was efficient. Bright restaurant with plenty of seating. It is located on Level 1 in New Town Plaza I so on the lower level. Highly recommend!

We got this place recommended from a friend we bumped into at Tsuen Wan Plaza. We were looking for…read moretasty dinner, something Chinese. The location has a windowed kitchen for curious patrons, and the seating area features floor-to ceiling glass to look out onto the parkette between Tsuen Wan Plaza and Citywalk. Quite scenic, I imagine this location to be an excellent low-to-moderate spending dinner date location. We got there just as they were filling up for the first round of dinner, and were immediately intrigued but their multi-flavour xiaolongbao variety set on the very first page of the menu. We decided it wasn't worth the price to get such a risky/avant-garde item. The rest of the menu consists of all your other Shanghainese classics: xiaolongbao, dumplings, fried pancakes, buns, hand-made noodles, casserole soups, etc. In the end we ordered two noodle soups, one order of xiaolongbao (4 pieces), one order of potsticker dumplings (4 pieces), and some plain greens. The dim sum items were fresh and tasty, with traditional textures (thin skin for xiaolongbao and thicker for potstickers), and the noodles were definitely tasty and had the hand-made noodle taste to them. While everything tasted fine, it was obvious that the restaurant was a chain and a reliable choice if anything - nothing super exciting but nothing missing the mark. I was quite happy with my orders and the place deserves a solid 4 stars for reliability and taste, and even convenience of its chain's locations. The portions are typical of updates Hong Kong places - just enough to fill, no leftovers. If you're a big eater be sure to order some extra noodles. The service was very quick and we never had to wait except for the food to be prepared. There was some wait time for food to come out, but we were willing to wait if it meant freshly prepared food. Our teacups were kept filled throughout the night, which made the wait tolerable.
