I haven't gotten all my dish as I'm writing this, but the rice rolls and radish cakes were super soft. I'm used to a little chew so having them melt is more overcooked than a nice melt. I can barely pick up the radish cakes without them crumbling. The deep fried pork dumplings were strangely extra sticky to my teeth. Again, I've had them more chewy. Presentation of the food isn't giving the "Michelin" that I read online, maybe that was changed and I didn't know. Except the spicy wonton, they did look good. They tasted ok. I think I'm not a spicy wonton person because I'm not a big fan of chili oil so I can't blame that. Warning: they're super slippery cause of the chili oil and kept slipping off my chopsticks. Final statement, I've had dim sum I like better elsewhere. It's funny because I got disappointed both ways: 1) reading the 5* comments then eating it was disappointing; 2) there were comments disliking it and I wanted to give the place hope. It's not bad! It's just not worth it the price to me. My last dish though, the taro sago coconut milk dessert, it's too simple to go wrong so 5/5* for that to average 3/5*. Oh apparently, the most recommended dish is the BBQ pork buns which I didn't eat, so maybe everything else is meant to be meh so that shines.
Live in the area. The quality of the food has plummeted. Dissapointing dim sum, yet somehow this still attracts large crowds of tourists who don't know better. Skip this place. Frankly, I wish Tim Ho Wan would close down (it's been 7 years) so that a new restaurant can serve the neighborhood.
We got har gow, 2 siu mai, pan fried noodles, steamed rolls, and the spicy dumplings I like the siu mai and har gow! Not a huge fan of the steamed rolls, they tasted a bit refrigerated. Got the sesame mochi for desserts and I like the exterior crunchy texture but the filling inside was pretty empty…
They have good baked buns, shrimp dumplings and spicy wontons.Everything else is decent. The service is fast.
Very tasty and popular. Had several different dim sum and dumplings courses which were very good. You will need to order at least 3 courses per a not-very hungry person, so consider when ordering
Nice place! I LOVE the dumplings!
Dim sum tastes good but in the sort of "hey I'm a college student and I don't care about my waistline, I just want to binge on greasy food" kind of way. Wouldn't go again, but it was decent I guess.
