    Cha Siu bun
    Nelson H.

    This's the original THW dim sum restaurant for decades, I ordered original classic dim sums and it was tasty n delicious.... It's different than the ones in Vegas and Irvine... Services were still fast n efficient but the new remodels place is still relatively crowded and small. People need to be aware of rush hours when having dining in the restaurant...

    The Tim Ho Wan in NYC was a disappointment so I wanted to see if it's better in HK. It seems not unfortunately as we were not impressed by any of the dim sum dishes that we ordered except for their famous BBQ pork buns. Those were still delicious. Everything else was mediocre and not worth trying. There are much better dim sum restaurants in HK so skip this one and just get the BBQ pork buns to go.

    Excellent food and service. We visited the restaurant many times while we were in town. Their shrimp dumplings is the most authentic shrimp dumpling we had tasted from various restaurants in town. The wrappings were transparent and very thin, which is authentic shrimp dumplings are supposed to be. We brought many of our relatives to this restaurant to try their dim. They all loved it. The downside is that their restrooms are very small.

    We were in North Point and wanted the baked bbq buns. Found out that location is closed permanently and we went to Sham Shui Po. Entered my info upon check-in and the host called in 5 minutes for the table. Had a few dishes and they came out quickly. Food was delicious and quick service. Cash only.

    Good, but not great. However, the highly rated items are those for a reason. Baked char siu bao is all you need to order here. They are a level above the rest, and I've eaten WAY too many in my day (not only because I love them but because I'm Chinese and it's a right of passage). I wanted to be completely wowed by this place since it's Michelin starred, but i wasn't. If I was giving it a rating on the overall dim sum it wouldn't be high. Here are the reasons. 1. Ordinary, run-of-the-mill dim sum I usually get anywhere else wasn't extraordinary here. 2. Shumai stuck together. That's right, the wrappers were so close they stuck. And the presentation on those was lacking. Other than that, like I said, the bao was amazing. The service was quick and friendly. Michelin Star just for the bao.

    Really good dimsum and really low prices! The place is a bit crowded and small, but that's what most restaurants in Hong Kong are like. I don't mind it at all, but it just wasn't expected for michelin star place. I was surprised how quickly they were able to seat us given the huge waitlist and full restaurant. Service was fast, and we finished our meal pretty quickly. I would recommend the baked bbq pork buns with a sweet crust on top. They were so good, but so was everything else we ordered.

    The BBQ pork buns are TO DIE FOR. TO DIE FOR. I'd come back a million times and just get like ten orders or the bbq pork buns. That said everything else was just ok. The won tons in chili oil were good. Everything was edible for sure but a bit bland. The dumplings (shrimp and pork and the veggie ones) were bland. I did actually like the glutinous rice dumpling too. The only thing that stood out though was the BBQ pork buns. If I were to come back it would just be for those and the tea. The jelly dessert with goji berries was good too

    It's pretty good, and such good value, the bill came out at around $30. Not bad at all. Came with two other people on a Sunday at 12 pm, wait was about 10-15 minutes. Checked off what we wanted before sitting down, food arrived fast. There is only Pu-er tea, not my favorite... but it's ok. The pork buns are def my favorite item on the menu. The crispy bread and the sweet pork filling. I kind of wanted another set. We had a lot of the typical items like the shrimp and pork dumplings, spicy wontons, fried carrot cake, egg rolls (I don't typically like Chinese egg rolls since they tend to be filled with cabbage but these were really good, no cabbage and was filled with egg white and crab I think?), and shrimp rice noodle rolls. I liked everything, I probably wouldn't get the spicy wontons again, they were kind of mediocre. The wontons were just ok, and the spicy sauce was just ok as well. Some items I hadn't had before were the fried tofu (this was sooo good, it was a soft/silky tofu fried) and scallop rice noodle rolls, these were good too, they had some lettuce in there which was different but I liked it.

    Well, it does have 1 Michelin star, but the whole experience was pretty mediocre. Came here because this is supposedly the first location of this dim sum chain and plus it was featured on multiple media outposts. We ordered a few dim sum dishes, the prices are ok, although we did find several other dim sum places that had way better tasting food and costed much less. The food was very mediocre in both presentation and taste, considering the prices. The service was fast and efficient but very very basic. We still felt very rushed when technically, dim sum is suppose to be a social thing that takes a long time to eat your meal. The restaurant was also kind of old and beat down, and the table and floors are not very clean. The bathroom was also not very clean. Honestly, we found so many other dim sum places in town that does not have a michelin star but had way better food, cheaper and better service. This place is kind of a hype.

    Menu

    A little bit of a wait but well worth it. Dim sum was delicious and inexpensive. The menu is not huge but they have the basics and everything was well executed. Highly recommend if you are in Sham Shui Po.

    Good food!

    Good food! Shrimp dumping is very nice. It is not expensive even the food quality is very good. BBQ pork bun is the signature.

    Pork Buns
    Bao H.

    Dim Sum in HK is solid and Tim Ho Wan is a must visit. I'll say one thing to order is their pork bun! Serious crusted on the outside with a warm toasty bun while the pork is steaming hot and moist. This my friend is a pork bun! I also ordered other items like the vegetable and shrimp dumplings. They were good too, but another favorite of mines were the pork spare ribs with the rice; I could eat this all day. The sesame balls here are good too; the filling is definitely fresh not like the ones you get in the US. In the end, Tim Ho Wan delivers in every way to my palates. The wait could be long, but they generally have community seating if you're in small numbers. I came alone so I would recommend keep your group small if possible to get a quicker seating. - Enjoy!

This time it was hot, humid, and rainy around 11:20 am and our party of 4 was able to get a table easily though it was crowded again once we were finished. This place is so famous we saw people come straight from the airport with all their luggage! Portions are very good and probably too small for most people but I loved the size. Goose and Soy Sauce Chicken: They are most known for their roast goose which has a complex and layered seasoning different than other HK roast duck/goose places. This is my go to dish, this time it tasted great but my portion of goose was super small and I split it with a friend to not get too full so it was even smaller. We also ordered the same dish with noodles and roast pork with soy chicken, both the people who had this never had Yat Lok before and totally cleared their plates, don't forget to mix each bite with some of the oil scorched green onions!

It's held a one Michelin star consecutively for 11 years!!! This was on my top list of places to go. Obviously, we got the roast geese. It wasn't as good as I had expected because I think we got the fatty leg section. Don't get me wrong, the glistening roast geese was delicious! I just wish it wasn't as fatty. We got the quarter size because we want to try other dishes. Crispy roast pork + Char Siu (Barbecue Pork) was on point! The roast pork skin is crispy and tasty. Char Siu is savory and sweet with smoky flavor. The vegetables was simply prepared but so good. It helps break up the greasy food. White rice and noodles for carb. This was a hearty meal. It is on the expensive side compare to other casual Cantonese bbq meats spot.

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.

The bathroom was also super weird, narrow and awkward and so dark that you can't see anything. Of the 2 stalls only one of them had toilet paper in a little roll that wasn't even properly attached to the toilet paper holder. The overall vibe is loud, "club-like," and kind of ratchet, there was a table quite far away from us but the customers were so clearly drunk and loud that the entire restaurant could hear them. We haven't even gotten to the food-- which was below average all around. We had pre-ordered the typhoon crab in advance and it was very expensive, was so over-seasoned, and the crab was not fresh at all. The bbq roast pork (char siu) was okay but incredibly oily and we couldn't finish it. The only passable entree was the fish, but even that was just a steamed fish and nothing to write home about. The service was okay, nothing spectacular but polite enough. The other nice thing was that we got these cute little mah jong desserts and I liked that the outside wall of the restaurant was decorated in mah jong pieces.

It was really no better than any other roasted pork we found at random restaurants all over HK. The crispy cheong fan noodles were a bit greasy but flavorful and different. Let's talk about pricing. We went on a Sunday night and we booked early so we did not have a minimum spend. But it seems any bookings now have an 800HKD/pp minimum. They slap a 10% service charge on everything and they basically require you to buy an 88HKD bottle of water. Sorry, they're just not that good.

To give you some examples: we were ignored for many parts of the meal with our food delivered very sporadically. we had to ask multiple times to make simple requests. They tried to serve dessert in the middle of our meal, when we asked them to bring it back later the server yelled at me for not making t clear when ordering. This is absolutely absurd! At asian restaurants, this is always assumed since they do not have a separate dessert menu like most western restaurants. A high end chain like lei garden would normally not mess this up. Furthermore, admitting to the mistake would have been fine, but their wait staff yelled at the customer! TL:DR Come here for the food, come with low expectations for the staff, or come here with a local hk family
