    Underwhelming after the flames stop, and you choke on residual smoke. Flavors aren't great here
    Claudia C.

    If you're going to come here and pay for their overpriced food and terrible service, be very picky about what you get! Some things are hype and and some things are just-for-hype, if you catch my drift. We got the flaming pineapple beef, squid ink fried rice, lotus sticky rice, and a ton of their cute buns. I ordered the pigeon too, but it came so late that I sent it back because we were too full. The items I think are worth getting: - squid ink fried rice: hands down the best dish we tried here. The baby octopus on top of the rice were the best - lotus sticky rice: but only if you're not getting the squid ink fried rice, or you're coming with a large group. Getting two rice dishes was pretty filling for two people! - truffle mushroom bun: it really looks like a mushroom! Lots of attention to detail. I thought the flavor was a little too intense for a bun filling and there's a loooot of dough for aesthetic reasons. But very cute! - charcoal bun: beautiful to look at, pretty good! A little sweet for my taste, but overall a solid dish. - flaming pineapple beef: it's a pineapple they briefly set on fire. It doesn't do anything to the actual dish and the flavor of the dish itself is pretty lacking. But there are so few protein options on the menu that I'd say this one is worth getting. Items I don't think are worth it: - Raspberry bun thing: it looked like cute berries but it tasted terrible. It comes with three and all have a little mint leaf on the top. Super syrupy and sweet, I'll pass. - Pig bun: cute, but too much dough and not enough red bean paste filling. - Rose bun: so pretty, but so much dough! The filling is only inside the very very center of the bun. The gold flakes taste disgusting. Lastly, I really wish they had brought the pigeon out sooner because I was too full to eat it and had to send it back.

    A busy place with very creative menu. Excellent food and service. Good ambience. Inexpensive fir the quality of food we get. Must try. It was a surprise find when we got lost in this Shatin shopping mall.

    This was of the first places i went to went visiting Hong Kong. You can find almost everything on the menu and at great prices. It is a pretty casual place yet still nice enough to take someone special. The food is delivered fast even during peak periods and the vibe is inviting to tourists. I will be bac

    Charcoal custard bun. Come in set of three. The most amazing things I've tasted. A must get.

    This review is strictly a take out order of ONLY their charcoal custard buns. When arriving, the place is on the second floor of the building, and it's super busy so there was a queue to take the elevator up (didn't know where the stairs were). Upon arrival there's a line as ppl with reservations are waiting. They were fully booked so they were turning away a lot of walk-ins. Takeout: you order in the way back but wait for your food at the front. It could be better labeled... or labeled at all lol. It's kinda of just chaotic. BUT let me tell you... These charcoal custard buns are so amazing. They are hot, eggy, sweet, melty goodness that come in a three pack. So obviously get more than one order. As for dim sum, it's fancier than other places so the price looked a bit higher, but you should at least get the buns. They will not disappoint.

    Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Hong Kong. The ambience is pleasant and every time that I have been here there is always a new selection of dishes on the menu. I also appreciate the large selection of white and red wines. Be sure to make a reservation since the restaurant fill very quickly and is almost always full. Dr. Erick J.

    I love Social Place for its speciality dim sum. I make sure I stop by for a meal each time I am in Hong Kong The food here is tasty but not mind blowing, however they have incredible presentation skills which totally makes for an instagram-worthy meal. My staples are the truffle mushroom buns and custard buns. The beef served in a flaming pineapple was delicious too! The service though is really poor and the wait time is long. Still a nice place to visit if you are a tourist in Hong Kong!

    Mushroom Buns!

    Cutesy Yum Cha resturants have been popping up all over Hong Kong for quite some time now. While I prefer the classic brunch setting at a Chinese restaurant, I found this place unique. Bowls and plates with inked caricatures of flies and ants are a good laugh with family and friends. Do I always want my buns to look like piglets or trees? No. But it's a great place to bring friends who are visiting. What I do love about this place is the service. They're friendly and the waiters don't seem to pressure you to order more food or drinks - unlike other resturants nearby. Side Note: They serve those delicious Pork Bao-buns! They're a bit doughy and big for me... but think of the insta-pics!

    Salty egg yolk bun
    Jennifer L.

    *Take-out review* not gonna lie, after a dim sum lunch at Tim Ho Wan, the buds and I were majorly craving a salty egg yolk bun that they didn't have. That search led us to Social Place...and O.M.G. SOOO GOOD. This place is located on the 2F of the building and can be gotten to either by elevator or stairs. We took the stairs bc the elevators were taking forever! Def a bougie looking dim sum spot, and our worry about a cutesy bun was that it wasn't gonna taste good. But we were delightfully incorrect! Each order comes with 3 buns, so with our group of four, we ordered 2. So warm. So delicious. So gooey. Ah. Loved it. 5 stars.

    Ants!

    Pretty interesting place. I came late & in a group so the food was already ordered & didn't see the menu or make any choices. But the food was good, atmosphere cool & prices $120 for my share at lunch. There are printed ants at the bottom of the bowls & the waiter promised to brush them away next time.

    Met a friend who was visiting from out of town here and we both had a delicious brunch before heading out to explore HK. Social Place definitely lives up to its name as it is always bustling, but service keeps up with the crowd. The menu has a great selection of traditional and elevated dim sum, making it a special dim sum brunch experience.

    Cool restaurant with innovative dishes! My favourite dishes on the menu were the charcoal egg custard buns with a nice runny filling and the truffle mushroom buns which actually looked like steamed shiitake mushrooms. My table also ordered the roasted pigeon which had a nice, crispy skin. Prices are higher than most dim sum places. Overall, I had a great meal and would go again to try their other dishes.

    Very cute dimsum place. Some hits and misses Hits: The signature ones are the mushroom which tasted pretty good (truffle and mushroom filling) The chicken plate (szechuan style fried chicken) was pretty good as well. They have mango jelly which looks like egg yolk! Nice presentation The sticky rice in lotus leaf was pretty good as well Misses: The dessert (pears shaped with creamy filling) the pig shaped pineapple bun and the rose were huge misses. These dishes were more expensive than the normal dimsum as well!

    They make people eat at a ping pong table.  Hah!

    Had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. A new take on Cantonese food in Central. Food: 4 out of 5 Ambiance: 4 out of 5 Service: 3 out of 5 Value: 3.5 out of 5 First off, the food is nicely presented. A simple dish like thousand year old egg and tofu is transformed into a pretty dish. That's pretty friggin impressive. We ordered a bunch of dishes including their signature dishes. None of the dishes were amazing, but they were all tasty and consistent. Also, they were all nicely plated and presented. This makes this place a perfect first date place. It's not too loud, the decor is nice and the food is tasty.

    Dang this was a big letdown. I've heard so many good things about Din Tai Fung so I was truly…read moreexcited when I saw it at the mall. Getting to try it in Hong Kong, the home of Dimsum, I thought this was going to be a 10/10. Yeah, not quite. The wrapping of each dishes were thicker than most places, so that was already offputting. That plus the taste of the fillings inside the xiao long baos, it's like you eat one and you already feel fed up and over it. And then there was no Har Gow in the menu, one of the most essential in a dimsum restaurant... Price was also much more expensive than your typical dimsum places in Hong Kong, and then some outrageous charges like $12 for tea per person, when it's literally one teapot at a table... and adding an additional 10% if you want to take the dishes to go if you don't finish... Yeah, this is a hard no. The only reason why I'm even giving it a two star rating is because customer service was spectacular and the tea was pretty tasty.

No reservations taken but no waiting for us. We were seated immediately. A menu was provided that described about fifty choices in Chinese and English. I lack a taste for the exotic so the six items we selected had vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp. We are less adventurous than some and, without guidance, stuck to ingredients of some familiarity. Rather than bringing all at once, there was a measured pace for delivery to our table. As dim sum lovers, we dug in. The experience of robust flavors and the environment combined to give us a genuine Hong Kong experience. Our total bill was less than $100US.

    In the dim sum capital of the world, it's pretty hard to stand out among so many competition, so…read moremany restaurants try to create something new and different. Sportful Garden (what kind of a name is that?) does a pretty good job, creating new dishes as well as refreshing the staples, like the super long spring rolls. If you can hang on for a little bit and come in after two, you get the happy hour price which is 40% off many dishes plus some staple dim sum dishes for HK$14-18 (like, US$2). Early birds before noon gets a discount too. They also have roasted pigeon for $33 (US$4) each, and even provide gloves for you to enjoy with your hands. While I very much want to order the super-instagram-worthy birdcage dim sum set (I've taken a pic of the menu if not the real thing), my sensible mom insisted that we order from the discounted menu. I managed to get the piggies though (with purple yam filling). I simply have a weakness for ordering things so cute I suffer a pang of guilt eating them. My favorite is the sponge cake, so light yet creamy, but all dishes, including the noodles, are delicious.

    Cannot recommend this place more highly! Possibly the best dim sum i've ever had in HK and…read morewell...anywhere. Situated at the very top of the isquare mall in TST, it's a convenient location both for Kowloon and HK siders. The restaurant itself is a beautifully bright space with amazing panoramic views. It's quite modern/upscale and would be a good place to go for work lunches etc but you won't get any nasty looks rocking up in shorts/tshirts etc... (i went there in gym gear). The food...wow. I thought after 30+ years of eating chinese food i'd pretty much seen every iteration of a spring roll. I was mistaken. Granted it's hard to make the case for a spring roll to be the standout dish at yum cha but i've never seen them done like this (pictures attached). Each one is about 20cm long and stuffed with juicy fresh shrimp. I have it on good authority that they are also a massive crowd pleaser for kids too. Other than that, every dish was equally superb and fresh. All the usual suspects (har gao, siu mai, lo bak gou, char siu sou) were top notch; fresh, juicy, thin skins. The lo mai gai was another standout - not the usual stodgy, dense, overly sticky lump; rather it was surprisingly light and the meat didn't taste at all congealed, with just enough glutinous-ness to make the rice sit neatly. And the crispy pork cubes...oh the crispy pork cubes. I'd been craving these for over a year since the only offerings to be found in NY are better described as lumps of soggy fat with a micro film of crispy skin and occasionally a bit of pork. All in all an amazing feed. Adding it to the list of regular places to hit in HK.
