Once you hit the plaza, you take the escalator (twice), then get on the elevator. There are different menu with special prices for weekdays (depends on what time you go in). I love the red ginger pot; you can pretty much smell it once you enter the restaurant. A lot of authentic dim sums and they are flavorful. Interior: Decent ambiance. (table clothes are stained) Food: Delicious Staff: Friendly Highly recommend this dim sum restaurant.

Came here for lunch on a Sat. Food is mediocre for the price. $110 plus for a dim sum dish. Our…read morewaitress was not friendly. You expect better service when you go to a nicer dim sum restaurant. We had a large group and while some of us were using the restroom they collected all our uneaten food and tossed everything except two dishes. When I asked to bag it, they charged me $1 for the container. Very very petty. There weren't many people in the restaurant at noon on a Saturday and even less when we left at 1:00. If I was management, I would reflect on the service your waitress provides. Very disappointing. Don't recommend this at all.

We went there for 2 lunches and tried some of dim sims: Preserved egg with dry oyster rice porridge - The congee wasn't too thick, just about right. It's simple and tasty. Steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce - It's mediocre and quite fatty Braised baby pork trotter - It's 3 pieces of pork trotter. It's tasty and skin so smooth. Steamed shrimp & scallop dumplings - It's perfect bite size and tasty pretty good Pan-fried Kobe Beef and Preserved Vegetable Buns - Beef so tasty (but suspected Kobe beef quality) and tasted at salty side. Steamed rice rolls in 3 ways - We liked this rice roll with 3 different ingredients (mushrooms, shrimps, and bbq pork) Deep fried shrimp bean curd rolls & Deep fried taro custard - Both dim dims were crispy and good. Steamed pork dumplings - Minced pork quite bouncy and smooth. Overall, the environment pretty quiet as a dim sim restaurant and the service were great!

I definitely recommend not missing out on it! I also enjoyed the bbq eel, especially how it was cut into bite sized pieces and grilled perfectly. We tried a couple of more adventurous dumplings like the tricolor dumpling set and lobster dumpling, which were very creative but ultimately kind of strange combinations of seafood and vegetables. We got mango sago for dessert as it's a popular Cantonese dessert, which was nice but not the star of the show. Service was polite, fast, and English-friendly. The restaurant is located in a hotel attached to a huge mall, so it was nice to shop around while waiting for our reservation time.

Hands down the best dim sum I had in Hong Kong. I tried quite a few places during my trip, but this…read moreone stood above the rest--especially when it came to the dumplings. The har gow in particular was exceptional, easily the best I've ever had. Normally there's at least one other place I can say comes close, but that wasn't the case here.

Squeezing bao until they ooze out their "mouths" is a lot of fun. Sometimes they ooze out their butts -I'd give more stars just for that. And then ALL the stars for the aesthetics (10/10). Cute cute cute. How cute exactly? The bbq bao is decorated as a pig! Ahhhh. So you see the concept is definitely adorable, and the menu is inspiringly creative, but I thought the actual execution and taste were just okay. Mainly I didn't care for the buns and texture, so I don't think I would need to come back, especially not with all the authentic dim sum around. That's my advice -worth it to check out at least once for the cutesy baos. Do it for the gram. Remember to take your camera; and a sketch pad would be fun. -prettier on the outside is not always ideal

I came in during a rainy night and was seated rather quickly. I ordered the shrimp dumpling with rainbow translucent skin, the pineapple bird pastries, and the green tea steamed buns with faces. My server gave me a bag for my umbrella, which was appreciated. While the shrimp dumplings and the green tea steamed buns were pretty yummy, the pineapple bird pastries were just a bit too dry for my tastes. Too much pastry, and not enough pineapple filling! Everything was really beautiful though, and arrived nice and fast! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are a tourist, the menu is really tourist friendly with lots of pictures and accurate written names for the dishes. YUM! CHA! :3

This is one of the places I have to visit during my stay in Hong Kong for breakfast, snack time, and/or dinner. One of the dimsum you must try is the Rice Roll with Crispy Shrimp. The rice roll is thin and the crispy shrimp added a nice contrast. Also, try the Radish Cakes serve with chili sauce and Chicken Feet. The opening hours for this place are from 730AM-11PM. Also, 5HKD is automatically added to your bill in lieu of service charge. This is for the hot tea they serve...which you cannot refuse.

Here's another flavor of dim sum in Hong Kong: Dim sum with a breathtaking harbor view!…read more To enjoy a great view of Hong Kong, you'll need to be on the Kowloon side, and Tsim Tsa Tsui East (TST East) is among one of a few areas that offer a spectacular view of the harbor as well as the skyline of the island. So if this is your first time visiting HK, this would be an ideal place to check out a local dim sum favorite as well as one of the most amazing harbor views in the World - something that you cannot find in North America. Ho Choi, literally translated as good luck, has every characteristic of an old-school traditional and superstitious Chinese name. It's more of a local gem rather than a tourist trap - such as those Chinese restaurants located in the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. Here, you'll enjoy tasty dim sums while rubbing elbows with local folks and a staff that speaks limited but enough English. Prices are moderate and reasonable for a restaurant that is at a somewhat upscale area. The basic staples such as har gow, siu mai, pork spare ribs, etc. were really good, albeit not outstanding. However, one dish was absolutely amazing and memorable: FRIED BEAN CURD ROLL IN TOMATO & EGG SOUP. The bean curd wrap was thin and was fried to a crispy perfection. The filling was soft, moist, and yummy. The rolls were dipped in a thick and delicious tomato & eggs soup which was close to heavenly even by Hong Kong's high standard. I will definitely order this dish again the next time I'm there.

Ho Choi (好彩) not only holds the distinction of being part of a memorable restaurant name group, but…read morealso features one of the better Dim Sum experiences in TST. On top of that, it's Dim Sum with a view; a beautiful one of the HK skyline. Situated at the top of the Empire Centre, this banquet hall serves as an ideal spot for all occasions big and small. The prices are reasonable; somewhere between 20-38HKD for each dish. Want a better deal? Shoot for the early bird special before 10:30am for 15 HKD or less select dishes. Plus, the food is fresher and the crowd rush is non existent. While I haven't seen a ton of tourists here (hello locals!), it should be noted there are no carts here. It's all a la carte style and be assured there is a limited English menu available. The selection is pretty stellar and more importantly, the food is tasty. The special shrimp rice noodle (鮮蝦腸粉) is beautifully presented, in bite size snippets served with whole shrimps in each fold. Same bodes for the har gau shrimp dumplings (蝦餃), which may seem a bit minuscule, but pack a decent amount of flavor. Kudos to their dumpling soup ((灌湯餃) for not being overly salty, and sporting a super silky dumpling everyone can get behind. Regular siu mai (燒賣) is readily available, but I would vote for any extra dollars for the super version in the emerald mushroom version (翡翠北菇燒賣). I admit to not being a fan of Malay sponge cake (馬拉糕) but I rather appreciate Ho Choi's soft and squishy version. Turns out I'm just not a fan of dry, less fluffy versions. Their haam seoi gok (鹹水角) is one of the better versions I've sampled, at least before noon. Anytime after that, it becomes like the rest of the subpar set from Dim Sum land. I really enjoyed their sticky rice (糯米飯), which is abundant in Chinese sausage (臘腸), which will ultimately win me over any day. No dim sum experience is complete without egg tarts (蛋撻) but I reckon the lao sa bao (流沙包) is the ultimate sweet treat. Living up to its "flowing sand" name, it is a steamed, fluffy, bao of magic runny sweet egg custard. When done well, it is a highlight as much as any, and one that I look forward to each time I'm at Ho Choi in TST. I haven't been around to try their dinner as of yet, but if it's anything like their Dim Sum hour, I'm sure to be in for a treat.

We ordered a huge spread of classics: * Har gow (shrimp dumplings) * Siu mai * Phoenix claws (chicken feet) * Sticky rice in lotus leaf * Rice noodle rolls * Congee Everything tasted good, it hit the spot for a dim sum craving, but I wouldn't say it was outstanding or life-changing compared to some other famous spots in HK. It's definitely reliable comfort food, though. The service was good and efficient, which is always a plus during the morning rush. If you are staying in the Jordan area and need a convenient, traditional meal, this gets the job done!

Tucked away along Hart's Avenue's booze scene is Joy Cuisine, one of the area's only local…read moresemi-grandeur Dim Sum establishments. It is vastly underrated versus the more higher end Dim Sum spots along Nathan, but serves as a solid hidden gem with a good variety of yum cha classics. When entering from the seedy streetside, first time goers will be pleased to see a bustling, fancy looking banquet hall that have seen numerous special occasions. Like many Canto spots, this place is serving patrons from 7am to 4pm a la Dim Sum while the dinner service meant for Chinese group dinners. Bonus: WiFi is available here. And I have yet to be disappointed with their Dim Sum. From steamed buns to fried dumplings, it's a hodgepodge of good stuff that like many other tea houses, is ordered a la carte. I have an affinity for their fried rice noodle rolls (炸蝦腸粉), which came in red for the longest time and adds a new dimension with the crispy interior and soft noodle exterior. I am always pleased with their sticky rice in lotus leaves (珍珠雞) and the pan fried turnip cakes (蘿蔔糕). They also serve the softest sweet custard buns (流沙奶黄飽), which are always a highlight at the end of the meal. They tend to run out after 1pm, but I still ask anyway because I'm an optimist. The egg tarts (蛋撻) aren't the best but they certainly do the job with the mini sized version. On occasion, I'll spring for their century egg pork porridge (皮蛋瘦肉粥) because it's actually really good but it's a semi-premium item. The staff is as hustle / bustle as they come. Empty baskets / plates get swooped up quickly and water / napkins are provided most of the time without even asking. They are pretty good about getting seats for everyone and not making folks share tables during the rush hour. On weekdays, they have a stellar deal in which the food is 30% off after 2pm. Late afternoon lunch anyone?
