Environment: A unique environment to take friends. You grab your own dim sum, tea, and dishes…read more Upstairs, there are people who bring their birds in bird cages, which is not a common sight you find around Hong Kong. Food: The food tastes okay, but there is a wide variety of dishes you may choose from, including dim sum, fried dishes, vegetables, and roast meats. You pay by asking them to come to your table and they count up the number of plates and baskets you have eaten to calculate your total. Ideal for: It's a perfect end point for an early morning hike. Tip: Arrive by 10am to have a decent selection of dim sum. Otherwise, you would need to line up and pick up whatever dim sum comes out, versus gradually going through the baskets and picking what you want when you show up earlier. Price: About $60-80 per person when dining in a group.

By oily, I definitely don't mean dripping in oil because it's probably one of the least oily meat-veggie baos I've ever had. If you like these, I recommend getting some to share with your family :) They're super affordable and the quality is always the same. Don't let them sit outside too long though because they don't taste good anymore when cold!!

The best XLB, however, is just the original flavor pork. The rainbow XLB, although aesthetic, is not that great - all the flavors are a bit weird and didn't match the XLB taste too well. Kids tend to like the cheese XLB, though. Other than XLB, we also ordered noodles - pork broth, dan dan, and sesame. All noodle dishes were extremely well made and big in portion, and I would honestly come here just for noodles. Finally, the star of the show were the scallion pancakes (not pictured). Unlike regular scallion pancakes that are flat, these were special like puff pastry - a very interesting take!

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.

The shumai with scallop and black garlic among the special dim sum section was a little more luxuriant than the regular kind. The tripe and minced beef ball were great.

So many times that I have been the one who woke up early and get a table at a Chinese restaurant to yum cha with my family. It has got to be my favorite thing to do on my holiday. Though nowadays you can easily get your hands on dim sum at a supermarket where you can buy the frozen ones and microwave them. However, the fact that they are not steamed but microwaved certainly does not impress me as much. Yet, Tong Kee Dim Sum definitely has satisfied the needs for the masses. Efficiency, freshly steamed and cheap. Most dim sums here are cooked on that day and during peak hour, though lines can be quite long, it still does not take too much time for you to get your order. For me, I love the Pork and Quail's Egg dumplings because I do not see that that often else where and they are insanely cheap! If dim sum does not fill you up, I am sure the buns can. They have a great variety of buns like pork buns, glutinous rice rolls and egg custard, etc. Though this place only does take-away and that definitely takes away the essence of yum cha where people can get together and enjoy the food, it certainly does not disappoint those who are just craving for a bite or two.

Food was hot and delicious; we shared the following dishes: 1. Signature Roasted White King Pigeon - it was very juicy and tasty 2. Dim Sum Platter with 5 different items - each item was very unique! 3. Beetroot Shrimp Dumplings - these pink dumplings with gold edges are SO PRETTY. I wish we could order more! This is one place I would highly recommend to you all, especially instagrammers! There are more than one Social Place; this particular one is in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.
