Came here for brunch as it was near our hotel…read more We came 15 mins after opening and were seated quickly. They gave us a booklet along with the paper to fill out, and most of the dim sum was the classic dim sum that I'm accustomed to. Their chiu chou fun gor was alright for me. They did put a good amount of peanuts in here but the exterior was a bit heavier on the dough side. Their siu mai and har gow were pretty good. Their cheung fun wasn't the silky light type, so I was just alright with it. Their Chicken with Sticky Rice wraped in Lotus Leaf was huge though, way bigger than those in Los Angeles. Their fresh mango custard roll was my highlight though, as they had chunks of mango in the middle and it was sweet. Would try this again. I think the one other aspect of this place is the interior is really clean, and they have a decent amount of tables inside. Service is a bit more attentive as the area isn't as large. I was most certainly full upon completion of this meal though haha.

Mark your order down on the sheet and go to the register to pay and turn in your order. Prices seemed to be slightly on the higher side at a first glance, but our final check ended up being pretty affordable. We tried their har gow, siu mai, baked BBQ pork buns, shrimp rice rolls, deep fried pork dumplings, and deep fried shrimp wonton. Food came out fast and I was pretty happy with all the items we ordered. Overall, decent spot for dim sum but I'd probably only come back if the wait wasn't too long.

So many times that I have been the one who woke up early and get a table at a Chinese restaurant to yum cha with my family. It has got to be my favorite thing to do on my holiday. Though nowadays you can easily get your hands on dim sum at a supermarket where you can buy the frozen ones and microwave them. However, the fact that they are not steamed but microwaved certainly does not impress me as much. Yet, Tong Kee Dim Sum definitely has satisfied the needs for the masses. Efficiency, freshly steamed and cheap. Most dim sums here are cooked on that day and during peak hour, though lines can be quite long, it still does not take too much time for you to get your order. For me, I love the Pork and Quail's Egg dumplings because I do not see that that often else where and they are insanely cheap! If dim sum does not fill you up, I am sure the buns can. They have a great variety of buns like pork buns, glutinous rice rolls and egg custard, etc. Though this place only does take-away and that definitely takes away the essence of yum cha where people can get together and enjoy the food, it certainly does not disappoint those who are just craving for a bite or two.

Food was hot and delicious; we shared the following dishes: 1. Signature Roasted White King Pigeon - it was very juicy and tasty 2. Dim Sum Platter with 5 different items - each item was very unique! 3. Beetroot Shrimp Dumplings - these pink dumplings with gold edges are SO PRETTY. I wish we could order more! This is one place I would highly recommend to you all, especially instagrammers! There are more than one Social Place; this particular one is in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

Food: The food tastes okay, but there is a wide variety of dishes you may choose from, including dim sum, fried dishes, vegetables, and roast meats. You pay by asking them to come to your table and they count up the number of plates and baskets you have eaten to calculate your total. Ideal for: It's a perfect end point for an early morning hike. Tip: Arrive by 10am to have a decent selection of dim sum. Otherwise, you would need to line up and pick up whatever dim sum comes out, versus gradually going through the baskets and picking what you want when you show up earlier. Price: About $60-80 per person when dining in a group.

However, they charge tea for anyone over 3 years old even if only 1 person in your group drink tea? My 2 daughters don't drink tea (7 and 11) and they still will charge you for it. I have not heard of any 3-year-old that would drink tea. Also $15 for a bottle of water? Total money grab.

The Har gao had a very thin shell, but it also wasn't fragile. It wasn't too doughy or glutenous, and the shrimp was perfectly snappy and had a very fresh delicious flavor. I thought the same thing about the siu mai, delicate wrapper with a touch of refinement. This was a common theme for all of the other dishes as well. 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 will say it was nice inside and it had air con and there was some thought that went into the ambiance. Anyway, it was still affordable from an American perspective and I enjoyed everything.

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.
