The restaurant I always go for a big breakfast when I'm HK. Everything has flavor , everything is cooked to perfection , can't go wrong with anything on the menu. 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. Hot tea is given and is all a surcharge at the end. If you don't want tea and hot water say it before hand. Service is quick and to the point. There is air con , and fairly busy. We waited outside for about 3 minutes in line . Very chill to eat and other guest are happy to try. Order won tonight soup, dumplings , pot stickers , rice and beef ... happy man read more

點點心 - Little bit of everything including the piggy - Dim Sum Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Not exactly a traditional dim sum tea place, but a great way to feed your dim sum cravings, especially when it isn't brunch time. Fast food style setting where food comes out relatively quickly and the selection is good. read more

點點心 - Dim Sum Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Like the name suggests, this is a dim sum place... without the yum cha. It's for those who want the dim sum without the tea, the carts, the waiters, etc. the dim sum itself, since it's the only thing they are offering, is quit good 4.5 star. The hardware, service, location, etc.... 3 star. Okay but not great. read more

Exactly what I needed. Delicious, fresh, hot, tasty AND reasonably priced. Had the BBQ pork rice rolls, steamed spareribs with taro, ha gow, siu mai, & soy sauce noodles. Definitely would return and recommend. read more

We were thinking of visiting Tim Ho Wan, of the Michelin fame, when I came across this place, Dimdimsum, which received the 2012 Newsweek Foodie Award as one of the 101 best places to eat in the world. Now, that's a pretty impressive title, so we decided to try this place instead. The shop is in a rather out-of-the-way location. It's smallish, but clean enough with a traditional Chinese decor. The dim sum list isn't extensive but enough to order. When the food came, we were somewhat disappointed. What? 101 best place? It won't even make it to 1001 in the world! I don't even think it makes my 101 personal list. Okay, I will say the flavor was not bad, but then it nothing spectacular. Especially not in this city with a million choices for dim sum. Maybe that award set our expectation too high. I was especially disappointed with the lava pig bun (a pig shaped bun with lava egg custard inside). My poor piggies must have gone through a gang fight in the bamboo steamer, what with faces cracked and brain spilling out. I can't even snap a nice pic of them. For me, the presentation of dim sum is important, and good chefs spend a lot of time perfecting the skills to twist and shape the dough of a dumpling or bun. This really shows that the chefs are not taking care or pride in their products. 3.5 stars, down to 3 for the presentation. read more

點點心 - My poor piggies, looks like they had a fight in the steamer. - Dim Sum Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Of course you come to HK to experience the fine dining and the not so fancy Dim Sum experience, and trust me both are special in their own rights! I'd put Dimdimsum right in the middle, but that does not meant the quality was subpar. From what I found out, this is a small chain in HK, but cannot confirm it, either way a great place to visit if you are near and craving some authentic HK Dim Sum. Visited on a friday night, busy, but had a few tables open. Staff was very kind, and on top of their game. Handed the menu and of course you are always awe struck by the massive menus at Dim Sum restaurants. After some help from the staff and random picks, I ordered what felt like dinner for four. So a quick break down of the food ordered; BBQ Pork Buns, Piggy Custard Buns, Chiu Chow Style Dumplings, Rice Flour Rolls with Shrimp, Deep Fried Dumpling with Wasabi Filling, Pan Fried Radish Cakes, Blanched Seasonal Veggies, Chicken Feet, Mushroom and Chicken on Rice, Taro Filled Matcha Cakes, Crispy Sweet Potato Dumpling, and HK Style Tea Milk. Phew, yes I know a lot, but I will spare you the details per dish as this would turn into a novel. 80% of the meal was delicious, but some left me wondering if it was a good choice (Rice Flour rolls and Blanched Veggies). The pricing is extremely affordable and you could easily feed a large family or two people in my case without breaking the bank. On the subject of money, they do accept credit cards, but I opted for cash as you will have plenty while visiting HK. To sum up the whole experience, well worth it and would visit again in a heartbeat especially since I only tasted 20% of their entire menu! read more

When in Hong Kong you have to get dim sum. There's a Tim Ho Wan near me and many other local dim sum places in Taipei so I wanted to try something new. That's how I found Dim Dim Sum. This place is small, about the size of my living room, but they pack the people in with fast service. I showed up around 2pm and was quickly seated and given a menu to check off what I wanted. There was a carafe of tea ($4HK mandatory for each person) and you can get warm/hot water. The staff is efficient and perfunctory. If you need something, ask. They are not there to anticipate your needs, which is not for everyone but it's classic Chinese style. I ordered the shrimp dumplings, braised vegetables, steamed pork ribs, steamed BBQ pork buns, Malay cake, shrimp with eggplant and seafood in pan fried chili. I clearly over ordered and the people around me smirked as more dishes kept coming out. This was more than enough for two and I ended up eating it for dinner too. The shrimp dumplings were good, better than standard. The steamed pork spare ribs were delicious, but took the longest to come out. I thought they had forgotten them. The shrimp with eggplant was fantastic. The seafood stuffed chili was good too but hard to bite through because the skin was left on. Then steamed BBQ pork buns had lots of filling and the Malay cake was not too sweet. The only let down and thing I didn't finish were the vegetables. I believe they were baby gailan but they had no seasoning or sauce on them. I'm used to it being served with oyster sauce drizzled on top. My total bill came to $180HK which was about cheap for Hong Kong and what I expected to pay for so much food at an above standard level. Cash only, no cards but they do have an English menu. There's a tiny bathroom and the air conditioning is adequate. None of the staff spoke English, that I could tell, but they did speak Mandarin to me and that got me through it. read more

You go to Hong Kong specifically for these types of places - Dimsum houses that serve authentic dishes! The place is OK, the location is a few meters or a few minutes walk from the subway station, but it's worth it. We came here for dinner and tried a lot of dishes (maybe more than we should have had) because there's so many dishes you would be curious to try. Service is great, food comes fast but newly cooked. The soup dumplings with black truffle was a winner and we couldn't settle for just one. Overall, you don't come here for a special occasion. You come here for an authentic HK dining experience. read more

點點心 - Dim Sum Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

One of the best dimsum places in HongKong. They are definitely unique because their dimsums are exactly what their names say. For example, their pineapple bun literally has pineapples in it. Normally there are no pineapples in pineapple buns. Their shrimp dumplings are the best by far. The dumpling skin had great flavor and chewiness and was filled up with lots of shrimp. We got the super early because I would expect long lines since they are well known, quite small and a touristy spot visited by Anthony Bourdain and some other well-known chefs/ food critics. Luckily there was no line for us when we got there. read more

Aside from the possible sketchy cleanliness of this place (we saw one table cleaning their utensils with hot tea; oops, we forgot to do this), this place serves awesome dimsum. Makes me cry on the inside because I can never get this kind of dim sum in Houston. Our favorites include siu mai (pork dumpling), ha gao (shrimp dumpling), piggy custard buns (so cute too!), pineapple buns, pan seared turnip cakes, and steamed beef balls. All of them came out piping hot, which was great. This place does get packed quickly on weekends. So come slightly before they open at 10 am. If you can't do this, then just come on a weekday when it's less crowded. Also, if you're like us and you can't read their Chinese menu, don't be shy and ask for an English menu. So easy. When I come back to Hong Kong, I'll definitely swing by here to get my legit dim sum fix. read more

Decent dim sum while stay over a day in Hong Kong. However looks like a little hole in the wall and sometimes there were things crawling on the wall. But the restaurant served its purpose in a pinch when me and my gurl were supper hungry and tired of looking for the other recommended location. read more

Dimsum is a big part of my Sundays. I like to visit different places and try all the dishes old and new. Dimdimsum is a good solid choice any day. Advertised to be one of the 101 best places to eat, Dimdimsum is a place that offers only dim sum. Dim sum in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I love the idea of that because that means I don't have to wake up before noon to make sure I get my Ha Gow fix. That itself is a great selling point. The wait isn't too bad during peak times. Unless you're a large party, you can expect no more than 15-20 minutes ok a busy sunday morning. If you're like me, a night owl, you can benefit by coming a bit later in the afternoon. There is almost never a wait if you come here after 2pm. Another great thing about going in the later times are the discounts! They offer 30% off dim sum when you order between 2-5pm Monday-Fridays. The decor of this place is pretty plain. You see oversized bird cages over lights to give you that old school Hong Kong feel, but thats about it. The tables are not the cleanest. It gets a quick wipe down before the staff throw a disposable place mat over it with your chopsticks and a bowl. Be sure to bring your own tissues when you come because they don't offer any for free. The food is "made to order" which should actually be "steamed to order." I would believe it more if they said all the dim sum is pre-made ready to be steamed. Taste is pretty on point. The flavors are there and is always consistent. Good, but not great. Just a-ok for me. =) read more

Even though on the map it says Dim Dim Sum Jordan Store, it's closer to the Austin MTR stop. It's not as busy as the Mong Kok store, but that's a bit obvious as this is not in a busy commercial area. It's surrounded by bus stops and apartment buildings. The food here is quite good. No carts here and you order off a menu. English menu given when requested. It's not super expensive and there are definitely some fun dishes here. The custard buns are shaped like little pigs! There's also a roasted eggplant with fish cake dish that's very good. Just a tiny hint of a char to the eggplants makes it savory and sweet. A good dim sum place if you want to avoid the crowds of the other locations. read more

We went for dinner, and the food was pretty great! Dim sum is typically eaten during the day, but I was more than happy to have some for dinner there. For the most part, the dishes were pretty standard ones, but they were well-executed. One item they served that I hadn't really had elsewhere was the Cheong Fun (steamed rice noodle) with fried dough and shrimp inside. I've had one or the other before, not usually both. All the food was pretty tasty, and it's all made fresh to order! It does tend to be pretty popular, so you may end up having to share your table with some strangers - just FYI. read more

Dim sum just as good as Tim ho wan but no wait at all! I stumbled into dim dim sum after looking for a restaurant in the area and realizing I was craving some shrimp dumplings. I didn't try any other items so I can't comment on them, but the shrimp dumplings were amazing. The skin was translucent and soft. The shrimp inside also tasted delicious. They have an English menu so you don't have to worry about ordering in a different language (if you don't speak Cantonese). The workers were also so friendly. If you happen to be in the area, check them out! You won't regret it :) read more

點點心 - Dim Sum Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I've been a little busy moving into this new neighbourhood so my dining experiences have mostly been "whatever is in the fridge, I eat". But now that I've settled into Jordan, I knew I had to check out Dim Dim Sum for a weekend yum cha. Posters plastered all over advertising the eatery as one of the best dim sum spots in town. Not sure if Anthony Bourdain actually went to THIS branch, as there are a few more scattered around HK. One qualm I had was with the pineapple buns. The HK pineapple bun I know and love harms no actual pineapples in the making of the bun. This particular bun had a little pineapple sliced surprised inside, which honestly put me off (I'm not a fan of pineapples). There are also advertising mushroom buns which taste nothing like mushrooms, my friend noted. Mind games aside, we enjoyed the Siu mai, har gao, and eggplant dim sum (I'm not sure what to call it). The Cheong fan was nicely rolled, not too thick. However, the xiao long bao had too much meat, not enough luscious porky soup. Would not order again. This will likely become my go to on a lazy yum cha Sunday, as it is now my local and does dim sum all day errrday. And I'm definitely not complaining. read more

Excellent fresh hot dim sum Located on corner across from the walkway to Austin Station. Crowded place but with english menus with pictures for tourist. You are handed a paper list with pencil for you to jot down your order. No dim sum cart here. Hand the order to waiter and your food comes quickly from the kitchen, hot and fresh. Delicious and you will not be disappointed. Main thing you know what you want. This is not a place you can ask what each item is. We ate here several times during our stay. Never disappointed. Reasonably priced. Cash Only...! read more

Dimdimsum dimdimsum specialty shop Dim sum is definitely the hardest meal for me to eat in Hong Kong because of all my food allergies. This restaurant is very popular and serves dim sum all day long. I've even stopped here as late as 10:30pm to grab a quick meal to go after playing volleyball. I always order their sticky rice which is enough to fill me up. I also like their pineapple buns which I will have when I'm cheating on my gluten free intolerance. They're not traditional, but their freshly baked mini buns are served hot with real pineapple custard on the inside. My husband like to eat various dishes here including the deep fried dumplings with wasabi filling, and the pork dumplings with crab roe. I do have to say that their menu options look pretty tasty and they cook the food fresh throughout the day. This restaurant was given a 2012 Newsweek Foodie Award as one of the 101 best places to eat around the world. This is pretty impressive considering it's located in a small neighborhood on the Kowloon side in Hong Kong. If you're inHong Kong, this is a great place to stop for a mix of traditional and modern dim sum. read more

Thoroughly Great Dim Sum that even the locals que and order. I had several dishes here and they didn't break the bank.

Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Extremely flavorful and clean. read more

They have a good selection of dim sum dishes and I love how you can easily order items by checking it off the paper menu! The dishes here are very fresh and hot, as they come out straight from the kitchen. Congee- delicious! I love the addition of salted eggs Pineapple buns- There are actually pineapple pieces in the custard filling. The buns are always fresh and toasty. Beef wrapped noodle- the noodles were a bit too gelatinous. I probably would skip this the next time I'm here. Pan fried stuffed eggplant with teryaki sauce- This is my favorite dish here! The eggplant and sauce go so well together. Deep fried dumpling with wasabi filling- Interesting to try, but I don't think the wasabi filling was particularly delicious. Abalone stir fried noodles- Very yummy! The noodles were delicious! Beef and fried egg on steamed rice- Nothing special, I would skip this. Steamed rice and Chinese sausage- Also nothing special. read more

Dimdimsum is a great place to have dimsum but not the best you can find in HK! I think since it's a small chain some of the dishes are more mainstream and a bit less traditional. My friends were in love with the bbq pork buns and would just stop by just to order those. What is cool though, is that their pineapple buns have actual pineapple bits in them, which isn't traditional, but a fun twist on the classic pastry. read more

We saw the long line over at Australia Dairy and decided at a whim to find a dim sum place. Glad we came here. We were a party of 16 at 11am and they were able to get us seated within 10 minutes. You do have to split up the group. There was a English menu so no problem in ordering. You check off the 1st column for the items and when you want to order more, you check the 2nd column. The egg rolls were good and had a creamy inside. Piggy buns were delicious & adorable. The deep fried milk custard was unique & yummy. If you like taro, then you'll like the fried carrot with taro filling. read more

Great food! We were very happy with the dim sum and ordered a wide variety of dishes. Service was impeccable. They treated us very kindly and made conversation with us due to the fact that we are foreigners. Just the typical, where are you from, why are you here, omg, you use chopsticks very well and so does your son conversations ;) My brother had been here before on a previous trip and highly recommended it. We actually got lost finding this place the first time around and ended up eating somewhere entirely different. It was hot as hell out and we were sweating walking around in circles. We tried again on the next night and Bingo, all was perfect! Very affordable and filling. I loved HK as a whole, it's a beautiful place and the locals are friendly and accommodating. I will come back if I was to return to HK again :) read more

Seriously the best dim sum restaurant ever! Don't mind the fact that all the dim sum I have ever had has been in California, but still, this takes the cake! Quality: Unbeatable. Everthing is made fresh (I assume) or at least it tastes fresh as far as steamed dumplings and pork buns go. All proportioned and packed neatly. Environment: Coming from a state where space is everything, this restaurant makes do with the minimal, and they make it work. Never have I seen a restaurant hold so many people during usual lunch rush, yet rarely make people wait and serve the food on time. They deserve an A++ for that. PRICE: INSANELY inexpensive for the quality and service. For two very hungry people with big stomachs and even bigger appetites, youre probably looking at a $60HKD bill? or $7USD for six orders. Not too sure on the price because the beau picks up the tab, but that's a close estimate. But anyways, you'll leave with a happy tummy AND wallet. Recommendations: CUSTARD PIGS, CUSTARD PIGS, CUSTARD PIGS! And did I mention the custard pigs? They're adorable, instagram-worthy, and deliciously (not overly) sweet. A must-have. Shrimp dumplings, bbq pork buns...anything shrimp and pork based really is good. As for the chicken feet and such things, well they are not my cuppa tea, but if you're into that, I'm sure they make them tasty. So if ever you're in kowloon looking for a good and cheap lunch, go to dimdimsum!!! read more

點點心 - Delicious piggy custard buns ! - Dim Sum Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Yummy inexpensive dimsum! There are a few locations, my group decided on this because it was a bit out of the way and wouldn't be as crowded. We were right! Came on Saturday around 11.30AM, and we got seated right away. The service staff here are really nice. Maybe not exceptional as compared to restaurants in the States, but after experiencing very horrible service in most HK dining places, the staff here are so much nicer in comparison. We did not understand their typical order sheet, and they provided us with an English menu and order sheet! Food did not take too long to come too. My group really liked the crispy rice flour rolls with shrimp, something different from the traditional rice flour rolls. The piggy custard buns were cute and delicious too, but we were expecting more custard in the buns. The mushroom buns were... Strange. They look like real mushrooms but they're just buns that look like mushrooms. The filling inside wasn't nice, you can probably give that a miss. Everything else is not bad! Dine on weekdays from 2.30-5.30PM for 30% off your bill! read more

Wow! I've had my fair share of dim sum places in the states. But this place has wowed me and I now know what authentic dim sum taste like and offers. Its not a huge restaurant and they don't push the carts around for you to pick the items as what I'm used too in the states. I Don't speak a lick of the local language. I'm so glad yelp was here to guide me in the right direction. I was able to order everything I wanted based on the reviews and pictures. Lunch for 2 came out to $20 US dollars. That's a steal in my book. read more

Food was very good. I had rice roll with bbq pork, shumai and truffle soup dumpling. All were fresh and equally delicious. I arrived just before they opened and the whole restaurant was immediately filled from the line. My only issue was that I was the last person served any item in the whole restaurant. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this was just bad luck or that maybe I ordered an unusual item that took more time and not that I was the only foreigner there. It did seem strange though to the point the couple next to me noticed and asked the waitress. read more

We landed in Hong Kong on a Saturday morning and really wanted some good dim sum without too much of a wait. Found Dim Dum Sum online with a location nearby and promptly went for it. Your handed a number and a menu sheet while you wait and you'll see many of the known chefs on the window trying DimDimSum (Anthony Bourdain, Eric Ripert, etc). We waited about 15 minutes for a table. Service is no-nonsense and quick, ask for an English menu if needed. Many of the dim sum dishes we haven't seen in the US and I would recommend you look at the symbols for those with the thumbs-up as their specialties/favorites. We often order the Shrimp roll and their version the shrimp was crispy, really good! The Shui Mai had a mini egg inside and was soupy, that was unique too. Their pineapple bun had chucks of pineapple inside. Tip: They don't provide napkins, either bring your own or spend 2 HKD for a pack of napkins from them. read more

Yum yum yum! A friend had recommended this place and so when we came upon it we had to try it! There was a small wait(about 15-20 minutes) but worth it!

Our order included soup filled dim sum w/black truffle, beef and tangerine meatballs, chicken feet, char sui pork steam buns, seafood stuffed eggplant, seafood stuffed chile peppers, pineapple egg custard buns, and a poached pear. The food was excellent! Our pickiest eater liked the eggplant and meatballs...the more adventurous eaters loved the stuffed peppers, eggplant, and soup dim sum and the preteen enjoyed the eggplant and the pear. It was a first for all trying the chicken feet and they were actually pretty tasty! If you are going to try dim sum...this is the place! read more
