I have been to Dim Sum Library over the years from when it first opened and the quality of the food and service has remained the same in my opinion and so 5 stars for consistency.

For me the best thing on the menu is the Truffle Oil Poached Fried Chicken. It's simply a delicious dish which I can have over and over again. The dumplings are generally very good but most annoying is that some of them are three serving and some four serving size portions. I wish there was consistency in that sense. It's always annoying if you got four people and some of the items only come with three pieces.. 

What definitely is not of value are the noodles and rice, ranging on average HKD200 plus and nothing special it does make you wonder.. 

So yes worth a visit every so often but given the cost you wouldn't go very often. I wouldn't make a special trip to this place unless for the chicken as there are plenty of other high end dim sum restaurants in the city to choose from.

Farewell, my friend!

Originally, I planned to name this comment as "Westernization of Chinese Dim Sums".  I have then decided to give credit to my friend who came here with me, who is moving overseas for good and for a new page of life!  She said she would definitely miss the Chinese food in Hong Kong when she is abroad.  Asking her to name wherever she likes for farewell dinner, she chose "Dim Sum Library" - which is quasi-western when compared to the traditional Chinese restaurants in the vicinity.  There is a bar

 We just ordered hot water because we are afraid of insomnia after drinking tea at such late hours of the day!

As stated in my gourmet introduction, I love shrimp dumplings (i.e. Har Gau) a lot.  As a first time diner here, I have no hesitation ordering one of their signature dishes, Truffle Har Gau!

The skin of the dumpling is filled with truffles and the shrimp taste is imbedded with an after-taste.

 Another dish to recommend is Lobster Bao.  Frankly, the appearance of the dish is not intriguing, at all.  It looks like, eh... one of our body parts.  Yet, don't reach a conclusion before tasting it. As the old saying goes, "Don't judge the book by its cover".

 The bun is small, yet it is contented with lobster meat and seafood sauce.  You would not wish to miss the gem inside the rock.
My friend said she loved all kinds of soft boiled eggs, like Japanese style and those smoked eggs in Shanghai style.

The foie gras are put on top of the eggs, with some sea salt placed at the side for diners' use.

Caviar on top of the foie gras.  The dish is very fulfilling  although the portion is not big. 
Rice rolls are common dishes in Chinese restaurants, and the creativity of this shop is also demonstrated in this Crispy Rice Rolls with squid and the chinese ingredient (響鈴)

 If you wish to eat something similar to spring rolls, this is an alternative for gourmets.
While my friend is on diet, she declared not to eat any carbohydrates. I said I need some soup and carbohydrates in order to fill my stomach and not to crave for food in the middle of the night.  I ordered the Udon soup in Rock fish soup, and she is responsible for drinking the soup!

 When the dish arrives, I realise that the portion is much bigger than those dim sums! The chopped veggies floating on the soup is refreshing.

 The fish soup is milky in colour and my friend just cannot insist to taste a little bit of udon as well!There are many fish slices inside the udon and this dish is worth for value.
We wish we could have a bigger stomach for the desserts.   While we were too full, we hoped to come back again for desserts if my friend comes back to visit HK again!

Newly-opened exotic dim sum library!!! 
Located at Pacific Place, cool and chic

interior design, it serves fusion dim sum <3

Dim sum is often labelled as a noisy, old

fashioned activity which our grannies and parents enjoy a lot.

This place has totally changes my

conception of dim sim when you had Hokkaido King Crab and Sea Urchin springrolls, black truffle har gao, lobster bun, raffish cake wrapped with Parma hamand Rice Vermicelli with Parma Ham ( yes, we are fans of Parma Ham) at a bartable.

It was not iconoclastic as it may seem,they complement with each other in perfect harmony.

Pu-er and jasmine tea are was I alwaysorder in traditional Chinese restaurant, the drink serves in dim sum librarywill not disappoint the young generations. I ordered “Thousand Years of Song”,(“Song” was a dynasty in Chinese history). It is in fact earl grey infused gin,white puree, yuzu, lemon juice and fresh egg white. It is a fresh cocktail thatI would like to recommend ladies who are not fond of alcohol.  It also serves alcoholic drinks.

Highly recommended!!!!! Ideal for a high

quality light dinner. 

Definitely will visit again, suitable for

people of all age and cultures.

Hope they could keep up the high standard

in my next visit.
