    Hongkong eats dimsum
    Paula C.

    Cute little dumplings. I was in love with it. Cute and very tasty. The noodles was bland thought. The restaurant looks classy and pricey. Would definitely recommend if you guys want the cute dumplings we live the pig bbq bun and green tea bun. Service was okay typical Chinese people. (Never expect good service from it)

    So much hype for this place it's practically unbelievable, but I knew I had to visit during my time in Hong Kong. I came here with a friend who is a local, and I guess the store/concept is largely a tourist trap, which in my case - also an IG foodie trap as well. We arrived pretty late in the afternoon, around 2:30pm on a weekday, to an empty restaurant with just one other party besides us. I believe they stop serving dim sum after 4pm. Obviously we had to order the custard buns & piggy bbq pork buns. Additionally, we also got the Halloween special "eyeball" dish, which was just ha gow (shrimp balls) and shu mai. In the regular menu item, we ordered the fried fish with a vinegar sauce, veggies, and a squid ink rice to compliment our order. I would say we ordered more than plenty of food for two people to share. Might be just me, but I couldn't quite figure out how to poke the custard bun so it would squeeze out the fillings as I've seen many people do. Despite my struggle, I really enjoyed the bun. The BBQ pork bun was my favorite, and way cuter too! I really admire their creative spin on their dim sum items & it definitely draws people in. My only complaint was the fried fish dish, due to the fact that the vinegar had completely covered the fish, making it incredibly acidic to the taste. Not a fan. Otherwise I loved the squid ink rice, I thought the flavors were not overwhelming but you could still taste the seafood embedded in the rice. Though the food was pretty good across the board, this was a pricey meal. It totaled close to $800hkd , which is roughly $100usd. There's way more quality dim sum for a fraction of the price, but if you want a cute IG photo, pay a visit!

    Yum Cha offers all these different Instagram worthy tales on dim sum. I came here thinking that it was for sure a gimmick and just for looks but the food is actually pretty tasty as well! I thought everything was decent so I can't single any dishes out to try or skip. If you are thinking of trying this, I'd give you the green light. SERVICE Good. Make sure to make a reservation. This place was packed when I was there.

    I admit I'm not a huge bao fan, so I wasn't expecting to love the food here, and I didn't. I felt the bao was mostly heavy-handed and thick, with little filling. But it was, indeed, very cute, which is really the reason to go here. Service was friendly, and the place (once you find it) is fairly spacious.

    Expensive, very Instagram friendly, but taste wasn't that great. The dishes are much more pleasing to the eyes than the stomach. Great place to go for groups of more than 4 people though. If there's 3 or less of you, you'll get so full, you wouldn't know what to do with yourself. We definitely over ordered, but that's because we wanted to take a picture of all the cute dishes!!

    A great place for people to take Instagram photos (like me) and have some fun, but overall on the pricey side! The food is okay, but the molten custard buns are where it's at. My friend and I came here and split six dishes among the two of us. We ordered an appetizer set (vinegar fungus, peanut sauce shredded chicken noodles, and marinated duck), a green tea molten custard bun, a BBQ pork bun, and pineapple flaky pastries shaped as chicks. Unfortunately, the liquid inside the buns didn't flow as well as we hoped, so the effect wasn't the same. The pastries, however, were super adorable and quite tasty! Service was friendly for the most part. Definitely make a reservation in advance as it is a prime destination for tourists!

    We came here solely for the character dim sum, which was a hit for my 4-year-old. He loved the piggy BBQ pork buns. He enjoyed pulling off the nose and ears and eating them, then after a bite to expose the filling, he proceeded to eat all the filling in two buns. He then moved onto the green tea buns with eyeballs, poking holes then squishing them to make them spit and/or poop ooze. The adults didn't have high expectations for food quality, and our expectations weren't exceeded, thus the 3 star review. The service was pretty lackluster, so this was bordering on a 2 star review, but I decided to be generous, since my child enjoyed himself.

    Pork buns - sooooo good

    Super tasty dim sum in Hong Kong. A bit pricey for what it is, but tasty nonetheless. I'd highly recommend the noodle dishes and the chicken wings - the honey balsamic wings are to die for. The buns are cute, but I'd skip the hot dog one...that was the only dish I've ordered here and have not liked.

    Came and stayed for the hype. I immediately had a favorable impression of the place thanks to the ceramic bowl with a cute fishy in it. Food took a while to get here but when it did oh boy. Veggies were at just the right temperature which is pretty rare in dim sum-style places - it's usually too hot or too cold. The buns had great designs which are probably the reason why this place is insta famous. Finally our dan dan noodles rolled through which were absolutely delicious. Dessert was great (although SOMEONE accidentally ate mine). The drinks were ok. Sometimes had to follow up with waiters to get our food but that was to be expected - it's a really busy joint. Overall I highly recommend and would definitely come again!

    The dim sum here was extremely appealing because if the cute little buns they made. I ordered the pineapple chicks in a "bird cage", a black cabbage pork bun ( which is actually made like a emoji, and a green tea custard bun. The dim sum was so-so if I am honest, but they are photogenic, plus the green tea custard bun, when I pole a hole at the mouth area, the custard literally just squirt out from the bun. It was hilarious. Definitely worth a video shot there. I also ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, no joke when they said it was spicy. I took a sip and literally started to cough and tears were rolling down from my eyes, lol. Pictures to be included. Not alot of options of food as one might think for a know restaurant. Prices were on the high end probably because they are well known for their bun design. I ordered 7 dishes which came out to be $530 HK, roughly $70 US. Recommended for the experience, and for the picture purposes. If you want to get your moneys worth in HK then this is not the place.

    This is not your usual or ordinary dimsum. It's dimsum or yum cha in style. Restaurant is not that big and can easily get crowded. We were seated right away and it was not busy when we arrived (during lunch hour) but within a 20 mins., the restaurant was full. Hence the service after that became slow. Servers was in a rush mode but tries to accommodate. Hit and miss on friendliness. Our food came out a bit of a longer wait than expected but food taste and presentation was worth the wait. Price is a bit expensive considering the portions are just average. But overall, worth it! The table next to us ordered some pretty interesting looking dish. Will definitely come back here again to try different dishes in their menu.

    Yum Cha (Meaning "Drink Tea"), they serve Dim Sum & classic Chinese dishes with a modern twist. Their chefs take a playful & inventive approach to traditional recipes, while retaining the authentic flavours & original essence of each dish. I was born in Hong Kong, welcome everybody to ask me questions about Hong Kong.

    Got sucked into the cute dim-sum buns! They did not disappoint! Not only do they look amazing , they taste amazing too! Will definitely come back & try different items as well. Higher price point but you pay for what you get!

We met friends for dinner and actually went to the wrong restaurant, for there is another Star of Canton just up the street at I Square too and we went there by accident. This restaurant has an expansive and striking view of the harbor, high ceilings, big glassy chandeliers and is very spacious. There is a stage and so much room that it seems like the appropriate spot to have a banquet or wedding. It is one of those large Chinese restaurants that serves a lot of people and thus the soft goods (carpet, chairs, linens, etc) seem warn and need updating. Although I did not do the ordering and did not pay the bill, in addition to special orders of hairy crabs at an additional cost, we had a set dinner with like 7 courses for around $400HKD (which seemed like a great value, knowing all the delicious food we had). The set included their highlighted dish of Braised Whole Japanese Oma Abalone, in addition to marinated sea cucumbers, shrimp, sticky rice, a great soup with bean curd on top and although small and at the very end, a seasame rice ball that was really spectacular & a party in your mouth. Found in 1998, Star of Canton insists the tradition of the canton dishes with less oil, less salt, no MSG and no artificial colour. I like that and it is a niche in a sea of Chinese restaurant options. We had a good experience and liked the ambiance of the place, so we would reccomend and absolutely go back.

We did not know it was a 2 star Michelin restaurant, and I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning, because we did not want to spend too much money on food on this trip. Upon our request, we were seated right in front of the Harbour view and were able to see the light show that start around 8pm. The most beautiful view of HK at night! We opted not to order the duck, which needs to be ordered 24 hour in advance and although I am sure quite delicious is quite pricy (HK$1,438+10%). Reservation in this place is a must! Highlights were the Wok-fried Wagyu with Green Peppers, Mushrooms and Garlic, Wok-seared Chicken Fillet with Lemon Sauce The server was so kind as to give us half servings so we could "sample" some of the more expensive items, add fried rice for substitution with the meat dishes and free desert. This flexibility in providing half portion and substitution is something i've rarely experience in a Michelin restaurant. Overall, we payed $US240 (1,900 Hong Kong Dollar) which includes the 10% service charge for two people for a michelin 2 star restaurant for an unforgettable meal! If I return to HK, I will definitely come back and try their dim sum.
