A great spot for higher end dim sum with very impressive dishes of excellent quality. Our hotel was able to assist us with getting a reservation and the restaurant was only about half full when we arrived. 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. read more

Fook Lam Moon - Refined Cantonese Dining in Hong Kong 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. read more

It's a little too swanky for us... we were just looking to have traditional old school dim sum... but alas, didn't realize we picked an upscale pricey spot. lol It's very nice, a little too pretentious for my kids. The food was good. The service was a bit much. Very robotic. Brings a dish, check off. Then takes everything away to give you what they consider dessert. We had the "malay gao" - sponge cake as last item: My kids didn't enjoy this spot... bc it didn't serve old school dim sum... the price tag also scared them a bit, as in... "wow, we had dim sum the other morning and was not asking for like $10 per dish".... It was too fancy for them. The stand out for sure - sweet shrimp dumplings, the churn fun was good, the most exciting item was the fried taro.. but a bit oily. Very tasty tho. As long as they enjoyed the food, I didn't care. But the food itself was good but not mind blowing good - hence why it didn't exceed our expectations: read more

For another Michelin 1* restaurant... Fook Lam Moon feels a little more traditional, a little more understated than some of their competition. Yet their food is just as good. Ended up quite surprised by their eel, which did some amazing things with the texture of the skin, and the jook (congee, porridge, whatever you prefer to call it) was meaty-yet-unreal with the quality and flavor of both the meat and the jook itself. And the crispy chicken. Damn. Best anyone of us had ever had (heck the jook was probably that good, too). Again, with a fancy place, let alone a Michelin star place, you expect to pay for the meal. Fook Lam Moon impresses, but subsequent visits will be needed (whenever budget allows-- might be a while!) to assess more of the menu. read more

My cousin has got serious connections. She was the only person who nabbed us a private room with full banquet. I'm def out to sea with super delicacies in this exclusive kind of dining. Not everything jived with me. And U cannot describe some of the dishes. One had raging intestine flavor; that I do recall! This restaurant is definitely for the local foodies "in the know" clientele. read more

This review is for dinner so the dimsum lunch experience might be different. We came on a Friday night and the restaurant was more than 1/2 empty. We had a few special dishes that we had to pre-order including the crispy pig. We also had a few of the signature dishes they recommended, but overall we were disappointed with the food. The only decent dish most of us enjoyed was the congee. The other days we had dinner at random HK restaurants and we thought it tasted way better. Again, this is for dinner only. I believe this place is pretty popular during the lunch hour. read more

a big thanks to candace for organizing dim sum lunch at FLM's flagship restaurant! i have heard so much about them but have never been as i was worried the paparazzi will have a field day snapping photos!;) yes, this is the place to see and be seen. however, they are not mere looks and do indeed spill substance. you have to dine here in order to indulge yourself and then understand how the awards, that they have won, were not bought but earned. the nondescript entrance on the ground floor does not look at all inviting but once you enter their dining room proper, resplendence takes over. so this is the "cafeteria for the wealthy"!? and soon after, you will duly note that their service was invisible but impeccable. we had a good sampling of their dim sum, their char siew, recommended as a must have by elite yelper may and a prawn paste pork neck dish which a regular, who was dining with us, loves. my first bite of their har gow and it was first love all over again. delicate skin giving way to an obscene amount of fresh flavourful plump prawns! if a dim sum place can do their har gow well, the rest is normally a given. and indeed all the dim sum that followed were of the highest ISO kung fu standards. the char siew, though not charred enough for my unhealthy liking, was glistening in a honey sheen, well marbled, moist and juicy. the crunchy pork neck, i felt, was a little too salty to eat on it's own but i can imagine how well it will go with some plain congee or rice, which we did not order. do not forget to end your meal with their sweets selection, the ladies at our table loved their walnut paste for it's smoothness and beautifying properties. i couldn't even take a photo of it before they polished it off! for me, however, it has to be their egg tarts! this is the flaky, mini, not too sweet and melt-in-your-mouth version. alas, i should have gobbled all three!:) tim ho wan is probably a charles & keith when you line it up next to the hermes that is FLM! read more

I was super excited to come here since Fook Lam Moon is ranked top 50 in Asia's best restaurant this year. Bottom line - the quality is up there so is the price. For two people, the bill was around $600 HKD which is around $40 USD per person. We had 6 dim sums, 1 dessert, and a very full yummy when we walked out. I would recommend the crispy roasted pork, the spring roll thingy, and the crystal skin shrimp dumplings. Those were amazing. The taste and the ingredients they used were solid. They do a good job on the classic/traditional dum sum dishes. If it's your first time having dim sum or first time having good (emphasis) dim sum, this is the go-to place. For me, I've had dim sum a lot so I need something more like a wow factor to give it a 5 star and to justify that price. It was a bit too pricy for me but that's just my personal bias :P. read more

I honestly love coming here every time I visit Hong Kong! Before Yelp, I never this place was so prestigious and famous. There's 3 floors in this restaurant and always busy during lunch and dinner. Yeah I agree that you can find a little better dim sum elsewhere but I feel like people come for the 35% atmosphere and 65% for the food. I mean the service here is amazing! My plate was changed after every bite and my tea was constantly filled after every sip. This place is white table top clean and it's not very loud either. Now that's a impressive dim sum lunch to me. When I come here, I always have my mom handle the ordering. We always get a variety of things! My favorites are sticky rice in lotus leaf, steam tripe, har gow, rice rolled with shrimp, and some egg yolk bun dessert that was amazing. Watch my video and you'll see! I've never had any celebrity sightings but even if they were there I wouldn't know who they were! Unless he was Jackie Chan hehe. read more

Quality and pricey. We had the roast platter of roast pork belly and cha siew. Crispy pork belly skin, and chewy soft meats that will get stuck in between the teeth. Nice and memorable. The cha siew is fabulous, typical HK type of soft shoulder cuts, red glossy and tasty. The crispy chicken is their forte. That's probably an understatement. But I can find fault if I try hard. Some part of the chicken is too salty, probably uneven marinating. Yes. That's what I found. Lol. The vegetable is boiled. Nothing impressive about that. For the price paid, and it's regular customers, it shouldn't go wrong. read more

Super rainy day so came in to Fook Lam Moon slightly soaked with rain and sweat. This is a very fancy place near the Wan Chai MTR station. The greeters must have been a little aghast but invited us in and seated us on the less populated 3rd floor. The English checklist had me a little sticker shocked, maybe our most expensive dim sum ever? Triple chop stick rest with two different sets of chopsticks and a spoon, so I was a little lost. In addition we were seated beside their wine "wall" filled with 20 plus year old Letours, Ridges and French wines I did not recognize. Pretty intimidating but I digress... The food and tea? This lonely tasty charsiu so is the only thing that got photographed. Really enjoyed the nomai glutinous sticky rice, and almost-like-a-soup dumpling ha GAO. Wow, careful putting these boiling hot, subtle delicious ha gao into your mouth! We sat and sipped our kook bo hot tea for a long time, they attentively kept refilling the pot before jumping back out into the rain, refreshed and fed for more exploring. The bill? $400 HKD ($50ish USD) for 4 dishes and tea. It was very good, though and came with incredible service. read more

Fook Lam Moon is a must visit for those looking for a destination spot. If you're just visiting for a short time, this place should be on your list. Most of the classic dishes aren't innovative, but they are executed very well. In all honesty, I think Lei Garden has slightly better dim sum, but Fook Lam Moon can still hold its own. Whether you're there for dim sum or dinner, I highly recommend adding the fried rice wrapped in lotus leaf (Ho Yeep Fan) to your meal. It's loaded with duck, pork, shiitake, and dried scallops, and you can taste how each ingredient adds its own layer of flavor to the rice. Yet despite how flavorful it is, it doesn't feel heavy or very oily at all. I dunno where else you find something this good! read more

I came here by convenience since my hotel was literally two blocks away (Metropark Wanchai). It was only after I tried to walk-in and got rejected that I realized that it was a Michelin star rated restaurant that is constantly booked despite the huge size. Not to be dissuaded, I put my name down for the next day and gathered the troops. I loved the atmosphere here. There is absolutely no rush, which is how I like to dim sum. My friends and I sat and chatted while drinking tea for hours and the staff knows that when a table is booked there is no turnaround for lunchtime (or rather dimsum time). The food is great of course, but I just don't believe that it was worth the price we paid. Overall, good restaurant, but I'd much rather go with family and put it on their tab (thanks fam). read more

One of the best dim sum experiences that I've had. Food was phenomenal and the staff was excellent. Ambience is on the fancy side. I highly recommend the har gow and the pork shumai. (But you are probably ordering these anyway...) There's an English menu and a picture book for those that can't read Chinese. read more

Disappointing best sums up our dinner visit. Our table was ready and immediately we were brought small dish of boiled peanuts. They didn't mention they would charge us for them or we would have declined them as we didn't want them and didn't eat them. We ordered a bottle of wine, sparking water and tea but they didn't keep any of our glasses full. We had to fill ourselves out of desperation several times. Ordered the prawn dumplings (extremely salty and dry where a sauce to dip in would have been nice), crispy chicken (ok but over half pieces were mostly joint or bone with not much meat), mixed vegetables (delicious and garlicky) and fried rice (good). Our bill shocked us as we realized the rice, chicken and dumplings were nearly $40 EACH. We were told we got the last reservation but the place was half empty on Saturday night at 8:30pm so there was no excuse for the inattentive service given those prices. The tables of locals sitting near us didn't have any issues with the staff attending to them. We left disappointed and not full. read more

Wow! Amazing quality and service. More expensive for a reason. Everybody wants Din Tai Fung or Tim Ho Wan, but what they really should want is Fook Lam Moon. Classic Hong Kong. Cannot wait to return. read more

Make reservations. No walk-ins. The staff are very attentive. However, the food is not great. It's okay... but not worth the price. Have had much better elsewhere. Best thing we ordered was the barley water/tea. Best thing about the restaurant is you get to take your time eating as they don't rush you. And there are celebritiy sightings. If you're into that. read more
