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.

FOOD: 5 SERVICE: 5…read moreAMBIANCE: 4 VALUE: 4 Yes, this is a 3 star Michelin restaurant and although it is not the latest YouTube sensation, it serves excellent Chinese food. We came here for lunch and we ordered their Specialty Lunch set courses. This allowed us to sample some of their best dishes. I can summarize that every dish was tasty, delicious and well presented. There was no flaw in the food and well deserving of the 3 Michelin stars. Service was in line with the expectations, but not flawless. Priced accordingly with other 3-Star restaurants.

This was my first three star Michellin experience, and some aspects lived up to the experience…read morewhile some aspects were lacking. One of the highlights I would definitely say is the service. Far from the typical HK cha chan tang where food is dropped off haphazardly and you get yelled at if you loiter for too long, T'ang Court is prepared to have some of your more intimate needs met. Our phones were low on battery by the time we arrived and they had a phone charger that included the specific cable for our phones, which was extremely fortunate for us. The layout was very nice as well, living up to the name of the lavish Tang Dynasty with large curtains, shiny plates, and bold colors. We had the tasting menu which promised lots of tradition and elevation of the finest Cantonese style dishes. First was the appetizer, a single fried abalone topped with fried garlic. I don't think I've ever had abalone fried before, but the taste reminds me of Typhoon shelter fried crab but with the meatiness of an abalone. It was a good promise of the elevation of the traditional Cantonese style cooking. Comes with a flower sitting on top of a slice of radish. Then comes the fried crab, made of two different kinds of crab and has cream and onions inside. The flavor is great, light like tempura but contains lots of fresh crab flavor. This disappeared quickly. The bird's nest with grouper is like a slightly more flavorful Westlake soup. There are some more subtleties in the flavors with the Yunnan ham, but not one of my favorites. Both the Japanese wagyu and the stir fried lobster was very interesting, because it has the flavor of the stir fried beef noodles, but with lobster, which is always going to go well with more garlic and shallots and onions. Other than this concept, it felt a little simple. Again comes with another flower on top of a slice of radish. The star dish is the abalone with sea cucumber with a heart of lettuce. This is the most traditional of all, and while I could definitely appreciate the technique it took to make this dish, especially to keep the sea cucumber whole while keeping its shape, I've never been a fan of either abalone or sea cucumber. This dish was so amazing that I would change my mind or make an exception; I just don't like the texture of something as slippery as a sea cucumber. By the time it's dessert, it's like the 5th time that I see the same flower on a radish slice, and that part is getting old pretty quickly. I loved the bean curd dessert as it is not too sweet and definitely tastes like the sweet tofu with a sprinkle of crushed grahams on top. The egg tart is not bad as well, but the jello is nothing special. All in all some dishes were amazing, but I think there were some dishes that could have been better; more special and different.

Other dim sums were good, but nothing special. There're better dim sum restaurants in HK.

Dishes listed and ranked by best to least: 1. Dim Sum Trio (Steamed Pork Dumpling with Lobster, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Bamboo Shoot, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Asparagus and Scallop): Classis dumpings cooked perfectly and made with high quality ingredients. It's a must order. 2. Deep-fried Fresh Crab Claw Stuffed with Minced Shrimp: Crispy, crunchy and big chunky shrimp inside. Also delicious! 3. Signature Barbecue Combination- Honey-glazed Barbecued Pork and Roasted Pork Belly: The classic dish of Hong Kong. Not quite as good as places like Mott 32 but very good. 4. Deep-fried Shrimp Toast with Salted Egg Yolk: it's a classic dish and done well. A single big shrimp is used instead of minced parts 5. Deep-fried Glutinous Dumplings with Pork, Shrimp and Carrot Juice: The insides were delicious but the dumpling was only warm and not as crisp as it should be. 6. Shanghai-style Pork Soup Dumplings: good but not special. 7. Simmered Seasonal Vegetables and Mushrooms in Fish Broth: also good but not special. Overall it was a great experience and we only tried a fraction of the menu. We'll be back for more!

One-Michelin-starred dim sum! Couldn't miss the opportunity to check it out during our visit to…read moreHong Kong. This is just sit-down, made-to-order dim sum, rather than traditional cart-style. They have a couple of set menus, although we just did a la carte so we could get exactly what we wanted. We had a large party so were able to split and try quite a few dishes luckily! I don't think anything really wowed me, but each dish was pretty consistently good and the overall cost at the end wasn't bad. To be honest, I'm not sure what makes it stand out so much to get a Michelin star, but I still think it's a great place for a large group meal if you're looking for something with a less casual vibe. This was definitely the most elevated ambiance out of all the dim sum I've had just based on the interior design and how spaced out the tables were. I don't think service was as attentive as a lot of other Michelin-starred restaurants, but I think that's just how dim sum is, and I'm honestly not a huge fan of the overly attentive service at a lot of nice restaurants anyways. Overall, amazing value for a one Michelin star dining experience. Good dim sum at decent prices, and suitable for large groups.

They have a good variety of options to choose from for dim sum and the food comes out at a good pace. Everything we tried was delicious. Some of the best things that we tried were their crispy chicken and suckling pig. We ended up returning for dinner the next day and ordered from that menu. The dinner food was decent, but not quite as good as the dim sum. I would this restaurant for dim sum over dinner and it's better to dine with a larger group so that you can try more dishes.

Fook Lam Moon - Refined Cantonese Dining in Hong Kong…read more Dinner at Fook Lam Moon in Wanchai felt like a real experience in classic Cantonese fine dining. The restaurant has that elegant but comfortable feel, with wide tables, crisp white linens, and staff who are attentive without being overbearing. It makes sense why it holds a Michelin star. We ordered a mix of their well-known dishes. The char siu had that perfect balance of smoky and sweet, while the roast pork belly was incredible, with crackling skin that snapped at every bite and tender meat underneath. The stir-fried shrimp was fresh, light, and paired nicely with the vegetables. The marinated jellyfish had a clean crunch and subtle sesame flavor, which I really enjoyed. And the century egg with tofu was rich, earthy, and smooth. Every dish came out perfectly timed and carefully prepared. The flavors were authentic, confident, and not trying too hard. It's the kind of place you go to when you want food done right, the way it has been for years. Fook Lam Moon isn't about flash or trends, it's about consistency and refinement. If you want to taste Cantonese cooking at its finest, this is where you go.

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.

I would say that this restaurant serves the Asian equivalent of American diner comfort food. In…read moreHong Kong, we like to eat dim sum, roast meats with rice, or stir fried noodles. These are our comfort foods. My family and I ordered their roast pork, roast goose, and shoyu chicken with white rice. These came with a side of milk tea. They also served dim sum when we came here. So, we ordered pork siu mai, beef meatballs, and braised chicken feet. Some people would cringe with the chicken feet. But, I grew up eating this. So,don't knock it until you've tried it. All of the meats were fragrant and delicious. I'm partial to the roast pork, since it comes with crispy pork skin. The white rice had good texture, and they weren't stingy with the amount they gave us. But, like the mustard greens that came along with this meal, I wish both of these were actually temperature hot when they served it to us. At best, they were lukewarm and they got cold easily, which I didn't like. The dim sum was pretty good. Not as good as Dimdimsum. But, if we wanted both rice dishes and dim sum, we can come here to get our fix. Just like a diner, this joint is loud and very hustle and bustle. The bell rings and the staff brings you your food pretty quickly. We can be in and out of this place pretty easily. The staff can be quite gruff as well. But, that's normal with any waitstaff here in Hong Kong. Just come and enjoy some Hong Kong style comfort food while you're here.

First of all, you are required to spend a minimum of HK$500 (about USD$64) per person. Secondly, it's recommended to make reservations beforehand. They are located in Four Seasons and the place is already packed once they are opened. Lastly, their dim sum menu is available on weekdays only. Baked pineapple bun with barbecue pork and pine nuts: This was like a combination of the pineapple bun nai wong bao and char siu bao. The pineapple bun is good with a sweet crunch top. The char siu was good and tender. There was a good balance between sweet and savory. Baked whole abalone puff with diced chicken: Elevated version of the traditional taro puff. The puff was soft and crispy. The diced chicken portion was small stuffed into the puff. It didn't have much flavor. The abalone on top was alright. Appearance wise, this was pretty cool to look at. Steamed lobster and scallop dumpling: Elevated version of the shumai. The lobster on top tasted like prawns not lobster. The taste was ok but it was fresh. This dish only serves 1 piece per order. Steamed shrimp dumplings with bamboo shoots: Pretty much like a typical shrimp dumpling at any other dim sum restaurant. Nothing special. Xiao Long Bao: The Xiao long bao was good. My favorite out of the others we tried here. The broth was hot and flavorful. The meat was very good and savory. Chilled mango and sago cream with pomelo: The dessert was refreshing. It has a light mango taste but no pomelo flavor. There were some tiny pieces of pomelo but didn't have any taste. It just adds texture. Overall, we had to order multiple of the same dim sum since we didn't reach the minimum of HK$500 per person. We were pretty full and were pretty much forced to get a couple desserts to reach the minimum. The minimum requirement is honestly ridiculous especially when we are dining with 3 people. Their dim sum was alright, nothing memorable. They use expensive ingredients but I didn't think it was anything special or mind blowing. The service was alright. They weren't attentive and were kind of stand-off ish when we requested for a seat by the window instead of the middle of the restaurant. I can see why they lost a Michelin star. If you want to try a 3 Michelin star and a Black Pearl recipient Chinese foods with dim sum, I recommend the Jade Dragon in Macau. An hour boat ride from HK. Their dim sum selection was very good with excellent service and beautiful interior and presentation.

I managed to find a spot for lunch at the last minute through a certain fish. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I found that there were more than two empty tables, but there were no available spots for lunch on Open Table. It is said that dim sum is only available at lunchtime! I ordered some recommended dim sum and dishes that received good reviews. To conclude, the crab shell dish was the most delicious, followed by the buns. The buns contain pine nuts, and the skin is very soft and tender, making the texture unique and delicious! The taste of the chicken soup recommended by everyone might be liked by foreigners, but personally, I found it a bit too rich. I still prefer traditional Chinese soup (a bit lighter). They also served dim sum after the meal which I felt was average. The rice noodle roll was quite innovative, filled with preserved vegetables and char siu, the first time I've had rice noodle roll with preserved vegetables. The abalone didn't impress me much. The must-try "unusual rice" was my first time having rice-shaped Italian pasta, which turned out to be fried noodles instead of fried rice. So when you can't decide whether to eat rice or noodles, you can have this. The taste is quite strong due to the addition of special XO sauce, slightly resembling the salty rice from Southern Fujian, Minnan... Not sure if anyone understands, but the texture is like small, distinct noodle pieces!! Quite unique, a serving is equivalent to two small bowls, not much. The crispy chicken in the tenth picture is not highly recommended. I think it's not as good as the roasted goose and soy sauce chicken from Hong Kong's roasted goose shops... The middle part is okay, but the rest is too tough! But since I only had a few bites, the staff noticed and asked if it didn't suit my taste. After expressing my thoughts, the staff waived the charge for this dish, which was quite generous and unexpected There are many drink options on the menu, and they are quite expensive! A bottle of plain water costs 110 Hong Kong dollars. The selection of alcoholic beverages is extensive, perhaps one of the standards for a Michelin restaurant. I ordered bubble tea because I liked it last time. I personally recommend the Hong Kong-exclusive rose bubble tea (the third one on the menu), which has a slightly sweet rose flavor, not too strong in tea taste, somewhat like a non-alcoholic rose bubble wine. The oolong tea bubble tea felt a bit too sour, with overly complex seasoning. The service was excellent, with staff coming over to refill tea at any time (your teacup must be nine-tenths full), and they also came over to inquire about the taste of the dishes, similar to foreign restaurants. I feel it's a restaurant suitable for foreigners to host guests. The overall taste is not bad, but not to the extent of being extremely delicious, and the value for money is not high. Without ordering fish or opening wine, the average cost per person should be around 1200+.
