Tim Ho Wan

Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan opens Sept. 29 at the Palms | Eater Vegas

"I've learned that this Michelin-starred restaurant from Hong Kong, founded by chef‑owners Mak Kwai Pui and Leung Fai Keung and first opened in Mong Kok in 2009 (earning a Michelin star within a year and dubbed the “world’s most reasonable Michelin-starred restaurant”), is set to debut Sept. 29 at the Palms in a 5,055-square-foot space seating 200. While it retains many originals—Cantonese favorites like barbecue pork buns, rice rolls, pan-fried turnip cakes, sui mai (steamed dumplings), har gow (shrimp dumplings) and steamed egg cake—the Palms location adds new dishes such as wagyu bundles with apples and mushrooms; shrimp toast with truffles and foie gras; and rice rolls stuffed with steamed lobster and Chinese black bean sauce. The bar highlights Japanese whiskies and traditional Chinese spirits including baijiu, and there’s a tea program featuring Chinese flavors like lychee black tea and Hong Kong‑style coffee milk tea. The restaurant will occupy a new space that connects the west parking garage to the casino." - Susan Stapleton
