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.

Chicken feet

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.

They are very good service. I bought five PayPal accounts from them. https://bestusasmm.com/product/buy-verified-paypal-accounts/

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.

Glutinous rice dumpling

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!
Michael K.

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!

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.

Formerly Michelin-starred dim sum. Best suited for smaller parties since the interior is small. We…read morelucked out and our party of 4 was able to be seated immediately with some shuffling around of other seated patrons. By the time we left though there was a sizeable line. 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.

In the dim sum capital of the world, it's pretty hard to stand out among so many competition, so…read moremany restaurants try to create something new and different. Sportful Garden (what kind of a name is that?) does a pretty good job, creating new dishes as well as refreshing the staples, like the super long spring rolls. If you can hang on for a little bit and come in after two, you get the happy hour price which is 40% off many dishes plus some staple dim sum dishes for HK$14-18 (like, US$2). Early birds before noon gets a discount too. They also have roasted pigeon for $33 (US$4) each, and even provide gloves for you to enjoy with your hands. While I very much want to order the super-instagram-worthy birdcage dim sum set (I've taken a pic of the menu if not the real thing), my sensible mom insisted that we order from the discounted menu. I managed to get the piggies though (with purple yam filling). I simply have a weakness for ordering things so cute I suffer a pang of guilt eating them. My favorite is the sponge cake, so light yet creamy, but all dishes, including the noodles, are delicious.

Cannot recommend this place more highly! Possibly the best dim sum i've ever had in HK and…read morewell...anywhere. Situated at the very top of the isquare mall in TST, it's a convenient location both for Kowloon and HK siders. The restaurant itself is a beautifully bright space with amazing panoramic views. It's quite modern/upscale and would be a good place to go for work lunches etc but you won't get any nasty looks rocking up in shorts/tshirts etc... (i went there in gym gear). The food...wow. I thought after 30+ years of eating chinese food i'd pretty much seen every iteration of a spring roll. I was mistaken. Granted it's hard to make the case for a spring roll to be the standout dish at yum cha but i've never seen them done like this (pictures attached). Each one is about 20cm long and stuffed with juicy fresh shrimp. I have it on good authority that they are also a massive crowd pleaser for kids too. Other than that, every dish was equally superb and fresh. All the usual suspects (har gao, siu mai, lo bak gou, char siu sou) were top notch; fresh, juicy, thin skins. The lo mai gai was another standout - not the usual stodgy, dense, overly sticky lump; rather it was surprisingly light and the meat didn't taste at all congealed, with just enough glutinous-ness to make the rice sit neatly. And the crispy pork cubes...oh the crispy pork cubes. I'd been craving these for over a year since the only offerings to be found in NY are better described as lumps of soggy fat with a micro film of crispy skin and occasionally a bit of pork. All in all an amazing feed. Adding it to the list of regular places to hit in HK.

Before embarking to Macau for a day trip, we decided to come here for an early 7am breakfast. Since…read moreI didn't get my HK Style French Toast from Australia Dairy Company the other day, I was excited to try it here. Kam Wah Cafe is also famous for their freshly baked Pineapple Bun and Butter. Can't start your day without some HK Milk Tea and Iced Ovaltine. My son said it's a good thing the nai cha in the states are not as good because he was starting to develop an addiction. Lol. For those of you who don't know, it's made with Ceylon leaves, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. The French toast was so damn delicious but a bit indulgent. I do wish I could taste more of the peanuts. My son loved his bolo bao. We also shared a hot bowl of macaroni soup with Spam and lettuce. Thinking back, I regret not trying the Spicy Satay Beef Instant Noodle. I will have to look for this back in the states. The aunties working here are just the most adorable, very kind and welcoming. One of them took the time to help us navigate the huge menu and recommended a few items. I would come back again and again if I could. I have a mad love for these iconic HK Style Cafes aka Cha Chaan Tengs. These affordable quick-paced restaurants were influenced by the city's 150 years of British rule. Aside from the classic breakfast items, they also offer many delicious rice and noodle dishes in the afternoon.

The food just hit the spot for me, bringing me right back to my childhood memories of eating this on weekend mornings at our local HK cafe.

Not sure if this is the correct address for LHL or perhaps they moved closer to Sheung Wan station…read more I haven't been back at LHL for over 10+ years... I don't even remember if this was the location but I do remember the old school carts rolling to us and offering the goods, yum cha staples. This visit was seeing my cousins family, whom we haven't seen in over 7 years. Always nostalgic when you combine family and yum cha. Yes, I know LHL has become very touristy. Yes, they don't roll the carts during busy time. Yes, there are better Cha Lau in HK. But... Ling Heung Lau... still delivers. We enjoyed the shrimp balls with "why san" - it's a root that's typically used in soup but in HK, access to fresh ones makes delicious dim sum partnering. I also love their "made to order" churn fun, eggplants, peppers, and dumplings. The offerings is extensive and truly, save space for dessert! This building is huge. You can make a reservation ahead of time, would recommend for big parties.

I don't even know where to start, but I guess it will have to be that I'm so sad I missed the rave…read moreevent they hosted here LOL. Back to the actual topic of food though, honestly any dim sum here in HK exceeds Houston by so much that I can't even bridge the gap with words. Portions were larger, dumpling skin was thinner/softer, rice noodle/rolls were silkier, and pork ribs were so damn tender. The flavor of chicken feet done just right. Maybe this is nothing special for those who have regular access to dim sum in HK. For those of us overseas who can only find half decent imitations, Lin Heung Lou is as good as it gets #373

We were staying nearby and decided to try both lunch and dinner…read more We opted for the a la carte menu as we wanted to try specific dishes and for us, it was the best choice. 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.
