My friends and I stopped into Cheers HK for Sunday brunch, craving dim sum and good vibes - and we got both! While it's not the best dim sum I've ever had, it was still delicious and absolutely hit the spot. Great service, fast food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!
Located in the old Lionshead space, the restaurant is bright and inviting, with big front windows letting in plenty of natural light. The space feels even larger thanks to a sweeping, photorealistic twilight image of Hong Kong stretching along one wall. The layout is well-organized, and the staff was quick and attentive throughout our meal. Even during a busy brunch service, our food came out fast and hot.
The dim sum hit all the right notes: delicious, authentic, and light yet satisfying. Some of the biggest wins:
Wonton noodle soup - light, comforting broth with tender wontons
Fried rice - fluffy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor
Shrimp dumplings - plump, sweet, and cooked to perfection
Curry fishballs - bouncy and coated in a rich, fragrant curry
Red bean smoothie - creamy and just like the red bean popsicles I loved as a kid
The only dish that didn't quite work for me was the pork dumplings packed with dill. The dill was overpowering with nothing to balance it out. However, a quick dip in the leftover curry sauce from the fishballs turned it around, and I was back to smiling and slurping up every bite.
As someone who's family is from Hong Kong, I was really happy to find this little bite of HK right in my backyard. Cheers HK has definitely earned a spot in my regular rotation.
