The foods are not bad. Nothing special for me.
Just few staffs are friendly.
If my friend wanna go here with me, I can be here.
But I will never been myself.
Dumplings are good. But I can buy similar items at the Asian grocery.
We were looking for a place to have Yum Cha in the city and decided to stand in line for this place as it was very busy but the line was moving quickly. As we stand in line, I read up on the reviews of this place and there seems to be a very mutual opinion about this place being very standard and lacking wow factor... but why is it so busy?
I ordered what was mentioned the most of reviews which were the baked pork bun and the meatballs as well as things that seemed nice to my taste.
I loved the baked pork buns and the prawn dumplings were divine! They need more attention IMO. The rest was nice but nothing outstanding. I don t feel like I have to come back here, might perhaps order take away for the dumplings and buns but I rather explore more places.
Dinner 18/04/21
Very tasty with great service tried quite a few things and not a single bad thing.
Staff were really friendly and even gave containers and a bag for the left overs.
I had 5 dishes. Amongst it all, the only standout and perhaps the only reason why many come to Tim Ho Wan are their baked pork buns. It's buttery and has a cookie-like crunch on the outside which makes it unique. If I come back again, I wouldn't order any other dishes.
Yum Cha done well, not fancy.
Tim Sum were prepared well, tasted great and served by efficient team members.
The baked bun with BBQ pork was different and worth a try.
The egg tarts were excellent, as was the radish cake.
The vermicelli roll with pig's liver was a refreshing change. Delicious!
The dished were all done well, with obvious attention to the balance of flavours.
Highly recommended.
To be honest, I have dined in this restaurant for over 10 times now, the food here is that good! 10/10 recommend!
If it's your first time coming here, you must order their signature BBQ pork buns, they are AMAZING, leaving you for wanting more.
The only reason why I didn't give full stars was because of the unfair wait time especially if you're dining in with a large group you would have to wait longer. Overall, very nice hot steaming food.
The vermicelli roll is simply delicious! For vegetarians, you have the option to order either with sesame sauce or with fried dough. Hubby reckons the steamed egg cake was the best he had so far!
I had 4 dishes, the baked bun and beef ball were fantastic. The other two were just ok. Busy buzzing atmosphere, but slow service. For the price and hype, I was expecting better.
Simple yum cha dishes laid out on a menu with prices. Quite a nice difference to have prices in front of you when ordering. Very efficient and fast service, robotic even. Small selection of dishes but what we ordered was done well. Baked pork buns were great, really liked the pork and shrimp in bean curd skin and wonton noodles were good. Overall a good experience and would go back again. Didn t disappoint and would recommend.
Changed my review from 5 stars to 2. There's no denying the food is great but three times here and three times I've been moved because the table has been needed to form a larger table... Which never happens. Stop moving your diners once you've seated them.
