Everything also tasted fresh. Service: High quality service. Was able to make a booking. Staff at front of restaurant was friendly about finding our seats.

I was at Him Kee last night. I used to come here more often but since the weather has been boiling…read morehot these days, boiling hot pot does not sound as appealing. Nonetheless, it was a friends birthday last night and she loves hot pot. I have a few favourites here that I would get every time I came, one of them is the crystal dumplings with bbq pork inside. It doesn't sound like a hot pot dish huh? It is, you boil it in soup and then the bbq pork inside becomes runny, it's hard to explain, you got to try it for yourself! Another favourite is their fish skin. I know what you want to say, all hot pot places have it. noooo... it's not the same! The one here is really really good. It's extra crispy and tasty even if you ate it on its own. Promise! The szechuan spicy soup here is super yummy. At first, it seems a little too spicy but as you eat more, it surprisingly gets less and less spicy.. it's either that or my tongue starts getting better acquainted with it. All in all, the food here is above average. It is one of my top 5 hot pot favourites in hong kong. We did notice a small glitch though, their kronenbourg beer lady was not very helpful. We asked for the prices and all she said was "it's already really cheap.. $25 for the large one, $28 for the small one" .... say wha?!!! It completely threw us off until she explained the small bottle was for kronenbourg blanc. Overall, i like him kee and would come back again.. when it isn't as hot outside.

The restaurant made me feel at home (e.g. indoor plants hanging from the ceiling, bookshelf with a lot of cook books, warm lightings). It was pretty quiet and we were able to chat and catch up. Service was amazing as I received a warm welcome by the host. Servers were very attentive to our needs as they removed our dirty dishes quickly after we finish our dish. They also poured us tea when our tea cups were empty. Servers were very attentive to details. We had a 10 courses meal, and they were all well presented: Ginger and vinegar pig trotter terrine: inspired by the Chinese traditional pork knuckle ginger stew that women ate after they gave birth (e.g 豬腳薑). They presented it as a jello, but with little cubes of pork knuckle in the middle. Meat was tender and easy to chew. The taste of ginger leans more on the sweet side, and it was not too spicy. This dish served cold, so it would be a very refreshing dish during summer. Deep fried crab meat and mushroom dumpling: this is a Thai style inspired dish. The dipping sauce was sweet and chili. The dough on the outside was thin, but crispy and light. Mushroom and crab meat were a good match! Barbecued lamb belly and abalone roll: the abalone was very tender. The marinate of the abalone was well seasoned, and the lamb was not overpowering the taste of the abalone. There were chili powder on top of the lamb. My tongue was stimulated with 3 layers of taste: chili, crispy bbq, and tenderness. Razor clam steamed with aged lemon and garlic: there were also cleared vermicelli on top of it. The clam was fresh, and the juice of the clam mixing with vermicelli was amazing. Steamed flowery crab: this is their signature dish, and it is a "must"! The crab is fresh. In our culture, we believe steam fresh seafood is the the way to bring out the freshness of the seafood, which is the idea of this dish. The sauce was flavorful, and mixing the flat noodle with this dish was the perfect pairing. I ate the whole dish without waste a single drop of the sauce. Braised spare ribs: the spare rib was marinated perfectly, and it was coated with a bit of sweetness on the outside. The meat was soft, juicy, and easy to cut and chew. Beef quartet in chili sour broth with sweet garlic: there were 4 different kinds of beef/tendon in this dish. The idea of this dish is very creative. There was a bit of preserved vegetable in it, which was my favorite about this dish. Double boiled vegetable with dried pork skin and dried cherry blossom shrimp: the broth was tasty with a strong shrimp flavored. The Chinese broccoli were peeled, so it was very soft to chew on. The vegetable was well cooked, but not over. The Chinese broccoli were green like beautiful jade. Cured meat clay pot rice: Our server served us the clay pot on our table, the smell of the rice was overwhelming as soon as our server opened the cover! He also served us the burn part of the rice! The rice was very crispy, which was my favorite! Dessert trio- Aged lemon ice-cream, thousand year egg pastry, and almond milk. Age lemon is a traditional Chinese marinate for cooking or remedy for sore throat. The idea of using it to make ice-cream is super unique! The fusion idea of this ice-cream came out perfect! It was not overly sweet. The thousand year egg pasty is a surprise as I do not eat thousand year egg. I finished the whole pastry because it tasted good! Finally, the almond milk, it was very smooth and not overly sweet. It was served warm. This is another 3 layers contrast in 1 dish: cold, slightly warm, and warm. This was an amazing experience that I was super grateful. Thank you for the great hospitality!

I would've loved it if they were deep fried and tossed in the sauce! Pork chops were overcooked but the sauce and caramelized onions were very tasty. The Portugese style chicken had a curry sauce and more bones than chicken. Both dishes worth skipping IMO & I would've loved not recommend. TPK style fried flat noodles with beef was the best dish. Very tasty but similar to a saucy beef chow fun but twice the price. Random 1.5" thick slices of potatoes in the dishes made me smile. Do Westerners eat a lot of potatoes? They were just boiled & not seasoned. My youngest went to town on them so they didn't go to waste! I'm glad we tried it & had the experience because they've been around so long but was a little bummed one of our most expensive dinners was regrettably one of the worst. $100 USD after tipping (we did in cash & quickly on the sly as I don't believe they share). Restaurant was slightly worn around the edges but it was nice to have a spacious area to eat that was quiet and not have to share tables with random patrons. Waiters were quick to refill water and anything else we needed.

Their soy milk drink taste really good and it is at only $5 (as compared to $15 regular price) if you have the set menu items. We tried both types of wontons and we prefer the one with wood ear more.

I thought the tea was just okay, but people seem to always get tea with dim sum so when in HK... We didn't have to wait for a table and the place is michelin rated. It may be a bit more expensive than places in the area, but that is what you get with a good reputation, marketing and a michelin rating.

I decided on two dim sum spots to try on this trip with Tim Ho Wan being the first. I came 6 PM on a weekday and it wasn't busy, we were quickly seated as there were plenty of available tables. Since we were not too hungry, we ordered the Shrimp Cheung Fun, Har Gow, and Siu Mai. It took around 5 mins for the dim sum to come out and the food looked good. However, it really seemed like some flavors were missing the umami taste that you would expect of dim sum. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a disappointing meal, so I would recommend trying other dim sum spots when in Hong Kong.

Food (3/5) - Got the swiss sauce chicken wings, roast pigeon (it's larger than usual, think of it…read moreas a small chicken worth size), portuguese chicken rice, beef chow fun, and of course the souffle. The souffle we received was a little watery on the inside. Staff claimed it was due to the quality of the eggs they got that day. We didn't finish it. Beef chow fun was pretty good, fresh noodles, sauce was not too wet (nor too dry), well distributed, beef pieces were substantial. Portuguese chicken rice also had a very flavourful and even sauce, and the chicken was the right moisture. Service (3/5) - Pretty prompt, the restaurant can get pretty busy. Price (2/5) - Fine dining prices for essentially local or diner food. Marked up adequately for the hype.

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.

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.

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.
