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.

DON'T ORDER TEA!…read more Trying this famous dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong to see what the fuzz is about. Mediocre food and standard service, really nothing to write home about. 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.

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.

Their lemon tea and milk tea was also very good. It was the perfect afternoon snack.

Just FYI to newbies , no cold water is served only hot . So being a cold water or order ahead for a bottle. Since there is some spice , I've notice some travelers struggle to order water.

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.

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

Came here around 2pm on a Saturday after visiting the giant buddha…read more This place is very special. The pear and the pumpkin shaped dimsum was super cute and delicious. The other more 'standard' dimsum dishes were also very good. No surprise it was very good in comparison to the dim sum eaten in the US. All the ingredients are very good. The cha siu bao had noticable pieces of meat in it. The ma lai gao (sponge cake) is definitely more light and fluffy than any other that Ive had. The flavors of all the dishes were very good. The stir fried noodles was a bit dry but had a lot of shrimp in it. Overall, would highly recommend this place to eat especially since it is in a convenient location. You can come here to eat after shopping around in the city gate outlets or after you go ride the cable car back down from seeing the buddha.

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!
