Squeezing bao until they ooze out their "mouths" is a lot of fun. Sometimes they ooze out their butts -I'd give more stars just for that. And then ALL the stars for the aesthetics (10/10). Cute cute cute. How cute exactly? The bbq bao is decorated as a pig! Ahhhh. So you see the concept is definitely adorable, and the menu is inspiringly creative, but I thought the actual execution and taste were just okay. Mainly I didn't care for the buns and texture, so I don't think I would need to come back, especially not with all the authentic dim sum around. That's my advice -worth it to check out at least once for the cutesy baos. Do it for the gram. Remember to take your camera; and a sketch pad would be fun. -prettier on the outside is not always ideal

I came in during a rainy night and was seated rather quickly. I ordered the shrimp dumpling with rainbow translucent skin, the pineapple bird pastries, and the green tea steamed buns with faces. My server gave me a bag for my umbrella, which was appreciated. While the shrimp dumplings and the green tea steamed buns were pretty yummy, the pineapple bird pastries were just a bit too dry for my tastes. Too much pastry, and not enough pineapple filling! Everything was really beautiful though, and arrived nice and fast! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are a tourist, the menu is really tourist friendly with lots of pictures and accurate written names for the dishes. YUM! CHA! :3

You expect better service when you go to a nicer dim sum restaurant. We had a large group and while some of us were using the restroom they collected all our uneaten food and tossed everything except two dishes. When I asked to bag it, they charged me $1 for the container. Very very petty. There weren't many people in the restaurant at noon on a Saturday and even less when we left at 1:00. If I was management, I would reflect on the service your waitress provides. Very disappointing. Don't recommend this at all.

We went there for 2 lunches and tried some of dim sims: Preserved egg with dry oyster rice porridge - The congee wasn't too thick, just about right. It's simple and tasty. Steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce - It's mediocre and quite fatty Braised baby pork trotter - It's 3 pieces of pork trotter. It's tasty and skin so smooth. Steamed shrimp & scallop dumplings - It's perfect bite size and tasty pretty good Pan-fried Kobe Beef and Preserved Vegetable Buns - Beef so tasty (but suspected Kobe beef quality) and tasted at salty side. Steamed rice rolls in 3 ways - We liked this rice roll with 3 different ingredients (mushrooms, shrimps, and bbq pork) Deep fried shrimp bean curd rolls & Deep fried taro custard - Both dim dims were crispy and good. Steamed pork dumplings - Minced pork quite bouncy and smooth. Overall, the environment pretty quiet as a dim sim restaurant and the service were great!

I love the red ginger pot; you can pretty much smell it once you enter the restaurant. A lot of authentic dim sums and they are flavorful. Interior: Decent ambiance.

This particular branch is located in a mall in West Kowloon train station and was a bit hard to find, as you do need to locate the dedicated escalator to reach it on its own personal landing. The chain is rather commercialized, but has the process down and it was quite organized during our visit. Service was quite excellent in comparison to other establishments too. I mean, they actually refilled our water and tea! I want to say we ordered via an app/ QR code so no more carts. We ordered the classics as a little snack. Dim sum individual pieces were a little smaller but taste was still on point. Skins maybe a little hard on the har gow but taro/ turnip cakes were delicious because not too oily or overly dense. If Tim Ho Won is the only dim sum you have time for especially if you have a limited time in HK, it's still not a horrible option whatsoever.

I got the ha gow, ha cheurng (rice noodle wrap with shrimp), fried noodles. The waiter said don't bother with their short ribs or radish cake. Price: pennies. For 5 dishes it was 10 USD. Cheap af. Ambiance: it's like eating on the subway train when the floor is wet. Do not go to the bathroom unless it's #1. You've been warned. Bring your own napkins. Service: slam dunk service - all business. In and out in under 20 min. Wham bam thank you ma'am

I have nothing bad to say about all the items that we had. Each one of us paid about 80 HKD and was able to try 13 different items. The quality of everything was top notch and comparable to bougie dimsum in America where each dish would be $5-$7 USD. The item that stood out to me was the bbq pork bun. The breading was soft, bbq pork was tender and full of flavor and the top was sweet. Overall I thought that the flavors and texture were spot on and made this a wonderful plate. Can't wait for Tim Ho Wan to come to America. Hopefully they retain their pricing as well.

Located at Time Square; Hong Kong's busy retail and foodie mecca, Lei Garden has been a offering…read moreCantonese Cuisine for over a decade. Food here can be described as traditional Cantonese with an added flare of updated interpretations, there are a few dishes the restaurant are famous for e.g. Crispy Skinned Chicken marinated in Supreme Soy Sauce, Seasonal Double Boiled Soup, Roast Pork Belly with Cracklings etc. On this latest occasion, I tried a few more common dishes, and what stands out the most are: Beef Brisket, Tendon & Potatoes in Curry Sauce, Braised Goose Web with Shiitake Mushrooms & Tofu Skin. Love the curry sauce as it goes perfectly with plain steamed rice, even the potatoes were done well in absorbing the curry. If you like Morning Glory, they do a very good job with the seasoning and I usually request the Chef to add extra Thai Chilli to kick it up a few notches! Service has always been attentive, but I also noticed the high turn over rate as the familiar faces from the last few years are not to be found, parking can be redeemed, just notify the server at end of your meal!

Depending on what you order, be prepared to spend the equivalent of about USD30 or more per person. What sets Lei Garden apart from the rest of all the dim sum restaurants is not just the deliciousness of their food, but their refinedness and creativity. Shredded Yam Egg Rolls: That's exactly where their creativity and sophistication come in. The filling tasted like a puree of yam mixed with minced pork and was almost heavenly. These are hands down the best egg rolls that I've ever had! Honey BBQ Spare Ribs: This is one of their specialties and I highly recommend that you order this dish. The meat was so tender that they fell off the bones. The honey BBQ flavor was so delicious that I needed to borrow a phrase from KFC that "it's finger licking good!" (Yes, forget about the chopsticks and eat with your fingers!) Fried Chicken Wings: The skin was perfectly crispy and the inside was moist and juicy. This is another dish that requires you to eat with your fingers and lick them to completely enjoy the experience. Har Gow: Thin, translucent, and slightly chewy skins were graced with a shrimp filling that was bouncy in texture and rich in natural flavor. Bean Curb Rolls in Broth: The fish broth was richly flavored, and not only did it make the bean curb rolls more enjoyable, it was so tasty that we finished every drop of the broth, treating it just like a soup dish. Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf: Tasty and not overly oily (Yes!) fried rice was generously mixed with Chinese sausage, minced pork, salty egg yolk, among many other goodies. It was wrapped in a lotus leaf and steamed to perfection that the aroma of lotus filled the air and stimulated the palate. This is another one of their specialties that I highly recommend. Siu Mai: They were tiny but were packed with a concentrated richness that was enhanced by the flavors of black mushrooms. Small, bite size, refined, and delicate - They were exactly what dim sum should be like! Beef Balls: Quality speaks here. There was not even a hint of soda powder or tenderizer. Again, the serving size was tiny but the flavor was supreme. And that perfectly matches the city where the value of food is generally not measured by its size, but by its quality.

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.
