My husband and I consider ourselves dim sum experts since we grew up in New York's chinatown so we were convinced that a Michelin rated dim sum restaurant can't be that much better than what we can get in New York. We were wrong. Tim Ho Wan deserves its Michelin star and the crazy crowds that wait to be fed. We were a party of eight and we ordered almost half of the menu. First of all, it only turned out to be about $10 USD per person, but more importantly the food was incredible. Everyone talks

My husband and I consider ourselves dim sum experts since we grew up in New York's chinatown so we were convinced that a Michelin rated dim sum restaurant can't be that much better than what we can get in New York. We were wrong. Tim Ho Wan deserves its Michelin star and the crazy crowds that wait to be fed. We were a party of eight and we ordered almost half of the menu. First of all, it only turned out to be about $10 USD per person, but more importantly the food was incredible. Everyone talks about how good the roast pork buns are - and it's true! Sweet and savory with the tastiest pieces of roast pork and the right amount of sauce. I also loved the beef meatball - the best I ever had and the sticky rice in bamboo leaves came with so much meat! Of course the Sui Mai and the rice rolls and shrimp dumplings were yummy too! The one thing I would not recommend is the turnip cakes...they were pretty bland and not befitting of this delicious place! Definitely go if you are in Hong Kong. Go twice, if you can!
