Ordered Pork buns: melt-in-your-mouth goodness! And they have a great selection of dimsum. A bit hard to find though as it is located outside of the Olympian City Mall.Plus the resto has no English signage. My wife and I were glad to find it though. Highly recommended.

Dim Sum means little eats. Tasty baked buns with pork were the star attraction, judging by the local people who all, and I mean all of them, had ordered. I even tried the flower petal jelly to finish. Good stuff

Nevermind 30-60 minute queuing, stay for your seat! Even Enter the Dragon roller coaster at the Ocean Park or LV ultimate private sale down Canton Rd would be just as tempting and worth the wait. The best street dimsum is hot steamed n ready in the house of Tim Ho Wan. Do not miss the chicken feet steamed with soy... More

We went to the outlet at IFC, no crazy Q, got a table after waiting for 10-15mins. Crispy pork bun was very good, enjoyed the moment of goodness. Price is quite cheap. Other than that, there was nothing special. Every other dishes that we tried were decent. Probably worth taking some time off to visit.

Their quality has improved much. Even when the bun is cold, it is still very delicious. Their food in... More

We were excited by the reviews and ordered half the menu to try, in short all of it was tasteless, slimey and at best just about edible. We love asian food and have lived in Asia for several years. This was without a doubt the worst meal we've had. On the up side the service was okay and thankfully, having... More

1) besides the crispy pork bun,others are normal. Can simply get tastier dinsum in any other place. 2) service of their waitresses is good. But the cashier is not, kinda proud. 3) the price is cheap but wont be highly recommended since the food is so so.

Simple dim sum, not a wide selection. The waiting time can be quite long (at least 20 min or so during peak hours). But everything they serve is very good.

perfect place to experience Michelin star without the price tag, expect a wait but its worth it, you must share tables but who cares, the food is outstanding.
