The Best Hong Kong Dim Sum Restaurants | Condé Nast Traveler

"Inside Let's Yum Cha the vibe blends old and new—cane chairs with neon cushions and retro tiles beside cartoon murals—creating a cheerful, unpretentious spot full of Hong Kong charm. Dim sum is made to order and piping hot: go for the king-sized har gow packed with springy prawns, quail egg siu mai, and fried milk curds for dessert; the satay beef tripe is a standout, and the herbal soups (duck with morel mushrooms, pork bone with cordyceps) appeal if you’re after something health-conscious." - Kate Springer, Janice Leung Hayes

As a tourist dining here was great especially their siu mai! English wasn’t so good for the staff but could understand sufficiently enough. With a baby you’ll need to get them out of the stroller and no baby chair but if they have seating in the large comfy tables you’re good.

A solid place for classic dim sum. The har gow had thin, bouncy skin with sweet and fresh shrimp. Service was efficient and attentive. Prices are also fair, and portions are generous.

I picked this Place for my Birthday Dinner and it was definitely a good choice 😍 The food was absolutely delicious and they have some really unique dishes I haven’t seen before. The Dessert is also really nice and in total we paid around 600HK$ for 5 people, which seemed quite cheap to me. The Location is a bit outside but the place is nice and not too crowded. Can definitely recommend this Dim Sum Restaurant 🥟

Came for dinner, about 10mins waiting time for a table. Food is good • har gow, shrimps are fresh, but the skin is a little thicker than expected. •Beef ball, 3 big pieces and very delicious. • Siumai, the best out of everything. Must try!

Tried their har gow, glutinous rice wrapped chicken, red rice roll with fried doughnut and prawn, and xiao long bao. To be honest, I’m not quite sure why this place is so famous only the har gow stood out. It was fresh, juicy, and well-balanced in flavor. The rest were just average and didn’t really live up to the hype.

Visited weekday morning, there was no wait and there's a weekday deal, reduced prices for some menu items, it's incredibly worth it. The dim sum where all fresh and quite tasty. It took awhile for them to get all the food out, but overall the service was fine. The pork ribs really stood out, it came wih chancheun fun and served with soy sauce which mixed very well with the garlic in the pork ribs. Overall I quite like the place and I'll be back to try the other dim sum on offer.

This dim sum eatery has limited sitting area, we were lucky to get a table before a queue started forming. Comparing the dim sum here to another famous eatery nearby, we preferred this one. Taste is just nice, flavourful and not too oily. The crispy milk curds is really good. The soup sold here is also nice and what soup is available is depending on which day is it. Looking around most of those dining there are locals. Will definitely visit again when we are back in Hong Kong.

Waited about 10 minutes during the lunch rush and was seated quickly. Food came quick and service is good. Staff are really fast (which is good) but I guess that’s normal for Hong Kong

Michelin-star dim sum, a backroom adventure, and food that's totally worth the wait (and the slight sketchiness). One Dim Sum in Prince Edward is one of those places where the line down the street tells you everything you need to know. A Michelin-starred dim sum joint serving high-quality dishes at budget-friendly prices? Yes, please. As a solo traveler, I got lucky--they shuffled me past the main dining room, through the kitchen (yes, really), and into what felt like a secret dim sum speakeasy. Slightly sketchy, slightly thrilling, fully delicious. I went classic: shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, chicken feet, and lo mai gai. The dumplings were juicy, bouncy, and cooked to perfection. The chicken feet? Fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor (don't be scared--they're worth it). The lo mai gai was like a warm, sticky rice hug, perfectly seasoned and super satisfying. Honestly, I wanted to keep going, but there's only so much room in one human stomach. One Dim Sum is chaotic, cramped, and absolutely incredible. Come for the Michelin star, stay for the backroom adventure and next-level dim sum.

The best dim sum that I had on this trip! One Dim Sum was another hyped up place that was I was most excited to try and they did not disappoint. I arrived at 1 PM on Saturday and there was a 30 min queue. After giving the staff our name and # of people, they handed out the menu so that we can decide on what to order. We ordered all my favorites and everything was very delicious! We ordered the Har Gow, Siu Mai, Beef Cheung Fun, Lo Bak Go, Lo Mai Gai, and Char Siu Bao. It was all very flavorful and we managed to finish everything (barely haha). The queue wasn't too bad and it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend One Dim Sum for dim sum in Hong Kong!

We went to Mong Kok and tired One Dim Sum today. Arrived after 1pm, and there is a huge lineup. We sat down in 20-25 mins and ordered har gaw, siu mah, beef ball, cha siu bao, curry squid, and beef with stir fry egg on steam rice. The shrimp in the har gaw is one of the best I've ever had. Beef ball is very rich in beef flavor. I also like the curry, the spice is strong but not too spicy. Siu mah and cha siu bao are just so so. Price is reasonable, and overall quality is good. I would highly recommended if you want to go dim sum.

It was an amazing place for dim sum & I would have never thought it would taste so good. Its definitely very popular, the restaurant was crowded and there was a short wait. So, depending on your arrival time--if it was during peak lunch hour, the wait can be long or short. When we arrived there was a brief wait--about 10 minutes. Once seated make sure you get the order form to make your selections of dim sum. Your order comes out quickly, piping hot and fresh. This place is far from fancy, but the food is tasty, the ambiance is welcoming and bright and is very reasonably priced. The service was okay--what you would expect from a fast, casual dining place; they responded when you called upon them. Everything we ordered was very good--the rice roll wrapped in the deep fried breadstick, chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, lotus leaf wrapped chicken and the mango custard wrapped roll for dessert. Easily accessible from the MTR--the Prince Edward Station. NOTE: They also have a location in Central, but it is not restaurant style, but more of a carry out with limited seating.

Out of all the dim sum restaurants I tried in HK, this is the one that strikes the best balance between price, taste, and ambience. All the dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious and came in huge portions. Would definitely recommend the chicken with mushroom and fish maw (both with and without the bean curd wrap). It's an item that used to exist in NYC dim sum restaurants but I can't seem to find it nowadays! The chiu chow style dumplings were authentically spicy with the addition of pepper. Absolutely loved the thin skin of the BBQ pork rice rolls. The siu mai was humongous and delectable. The Malaysian sponge cake was a nice sweet treat to end the meal! This isn't your traditional ladies pushing carts dim sum restaurant since you order via paper and pencil but this makes the whole ordering process much more efficient and ensures that your food is made to order. I found the prices very economical. Service was ok. They do give hints that they want to you to leave if you've been eating for too long but that's completely understandable since it's a popular restaurant. We loved the food here so much we came back a 2nd time. That says a lot!

I was lucky to make the first round when they open because it was HOT out and I didn't want to wait in line any longer. My partner and I came about 25 minutes before they opened and was able to make the cut for round one. Right away after we were seated, our tea came and we put in our order. Of course, per the usual, we ordered the obligatory staples. Being our first time here, we wanted to judge the staples of all things because if you get the main items wrong, we can't feel confident about trying the other items. Overall, great service and the food was pretty good. However, I felt like the flavor was on the lighter side and needed to dip my dim sum in soy sauce and hot oil which I normally don't do, but the flavor was a little lacking. Prices are a little on the higher side, but overall, solid dim sum spot.

this yummy dimsum spot lives up to the hype! we came here for our first meal in HK and were absolutely delighted by our selections. make sure to order these classic items: - 鮮蝦滑腸粉 (shrimp in rice roll) - 蟹皇蒸燒賣 (pork dumplings with shrimp) - 四寶滑雞扎 (bean curd wrap w/ chicken & fish maw) - 薄皮鮮蝦餃 (prawn dumplings) - 香煎蘿蔔糕 (pan fried turnip cake) - 香煎馬蹄糕 (pan fried water chestnut cake) there was a line on a saturday afternoon, but we were seated within 40 minutes. we decided what we wanted while in line and marked them on the order form (note that it's all in chinese which wasn't an issue for us, but you should be able to ask for an english menu as well). the service was quick and efficient, so the turnaround rate is really fast. definitely gonna come back the next time i'm in town!

Came here for the Michelin Guide mention. This place has two time slot for lunch seatings noon and 1:30 the party of 10 of us got there around 2pm but they still accommodate us which was very nice. We selected 16 different types of dim sum which was all they had left. The common items like chicken feet, har dumpling, shumai, steamed pork buns etc. They were all good but nothing was exemptional. I could not give you anything that was better than other places but I could not say which one needs substantially improvement either.

Best dim sum we had in HK, better than Tim Ho Wan overall in my opinion. We came for dinner, because why not! It was around 8pm and the place was packed but we got a seat really fast. The menu is simple and has all the delicious dim sum staples. My favorite was the spare ribs and shu mai! The items were fairly priced. I think we spent around $25 USD for the items. Highly recommend! Go on a weekday because they charge extra 10% on weekend :)

When you're in Hong Kong, you have to have dimsum right? The only challenge is finding a good one near an area you'll be in. We were mainly in Hong Kong for government appointments and official business so I had to make sure the places we ate at didn't make us late as some appointments were booked months prior. One Dim Sum had very positive reviews on Yelp and Google so we decided to go check them out. With most popular dimsum restaurants, there is a long line. We were fortunate that we didn't have a long wait when we dined here. They seated us relatively quickly. When you arrive, you have to let a staff member know how many people are in your party and you receive a number. They call you when a table is ready for you. There are some seats outside so please let the elderly sit there while waiting. Some of the younger customers there ignored the elderly and just sat there playing on their phones so that was disturbing to witness. The interior walls are vibrantly decorated and I enjoyed the artwork. It's loud and what you would expect when dining at a Chinese restaurant. The place is busy so it's quite lively and staff are all over the floor helping customers. Menus, bowls, cups, chopsticks and hot water came out quickly. After sterilizing the cups, chopsticks and bowls with the hot water (common practice in Hong Kong and China), we were ready to look at the menu. After discussing what to order, we decided to order a variety of items and tried to order items we didn't have in HI. The Chinese in me saw the very affordable dimsum prices so we ordered a feast! Your order comes out in waves so that there is enough room on the table. The food was good and definitely above average dimsum. Once you're finished eating, you go up to the cashier to pay. Good dining option with very affordable dimsum.

Solid dim sum place that is open late and near the MTR station. They only accept cash. It seems they are popular with tourists and locals. The shrimp dumplings and siu mai were delicious and came out piping hot. I'd love to come back for more. The glutinous rice with pork and chicken was a miss for me as there was too much rice compared to filling. Smaller parties might need to share tables with others during busy times.

My GF and I went on a dim sum binge around Hong Kong and One Dim Sum was on our list. What I found was different locations had one or two items that stood out compared to other placed. What we ordered: 1. Ha Gao: delicious with a ton of shrimp! I also really liked this place hot chili oil which went well with the ha Gao. 2. Beef Balls: Delicious and very generous in size. 3. Siu Mai: SO GOOD! I thought it was bigger and better than other dim sump places we've tried. 4. Steamed chicken and mushroom buns: Also really good both the breading on the outside and a good amount of filling! 5. Fried shrimp in wonton skin: Really unique to this location and I loved it. My second favorite dish behind the Siu Mai. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, we were able to get a table right away although we came kind of late around 8pm. The service was great and we got 5 different dishes and it was all under $20 USD (~120 HKD). What a deal and we were super stuffed we could barely finish. Service was also super fast.

Food was amazing. We tried a variety of items and no complaints at all. The server was extremely nice, spoke a little bit of English and provided us their choice on items to try. Very nice restaurant and very clean. It's constantly busy so be prepared to wait. We hit it just right and got a table right away. When we left, the line was out the door.

Heard so much and tried it and was blown away by how good it was. For foreigners having dim sum for the first time, be cautioned that portions are comparable with in the US, so order according to your stomach capacity. We ordered all of these for 2 adukts and 1 tween, and we were stuffed to the max. Two thumbs up, way up!

Food is Chinese origin - Good value for money Dim sum means assortment of ingredients wrapped or cut into bite size for easy eating - normally with chopsticks.

Great food, great price except shrimp dumplings but too crowded and cramped, always needs to share table which feel uncomfortable.

Food is Chinese origin - Good value for money Hong Kong has a lot of food and snacks, but roast goose will always be the city's number one dish. Roast goose is a traditional specialty of Guangdong. The whole goose will be thoroughly roasted, cut into small pieces and dipped in special plum sauce. Bite into the tender meat and you will feel the perfect taste, or as Hong Kong people would say, "ho ho say!"

When in China, you gotta get dim sum! They accommodated our group of 15 fairly quickly and sat us separately in a private room. You order on the sheet by marking the quantity of orders you'd like next to the name/number of the dish. Our food was the last to come out among our group, but it was well worth the wait. Everything we had was so fresh, hot, steaming, and delicious. We ordered too many things to go into detail, but trust your gut on this one - whatever looks good, get it. The servers don't hesitate to clean up your table as soon as you show signs of being done, so don't expect to stay too long here haha

Another decently priced Michelin starred dim sum place - why i love Asia so much. One dim sum was some of the best dim sum I've had. i went around lunch time and the line was superrrrrr long. Since i was alone, i think i waited about 30 minutes, but I'm sure bigger parties waited much longer. A lot of people are comparing this to Tim Ho Wan. i found them pretty similar. Tim Ho wins on its BBQ buns- their bread is more crispy like pineapple buns, One dim sum has a more soft and baked type of bread. BUT One Dim Sum wins on those mango coconut rolls- super delicious and not crazy sweet, which i like.

After reading about a little dim sum spot that received a Michelin Star for their food a few years back, we decided we had to check it out. We had a total of 36 hours in Hong Kong and made sure this was one of the 5 meals we has while here. By the end of the night, we declared it the best dim sum we've ever had! The place is in the Prince Edward area of Hong Kong - about 3 blocks from that stop on the red subway line. It's a small shop with seating for roughly 25. They move folks in and out quickly, but never made us feel rushed. We had reservations and that was key as the place was busy the whole time we were around. Three adults, three kids and about 13 dishes made our evening! We put together our order while waiting. They provided a book with pictures of everything for those of us who don't read or speak Chinese. Food pictures truly are a universal language! Everything was incredible! The best of the best however were the Char Siu Bao - hands down the best we've ever experienced! It was like a sweet cloud hugging BBQ Pork as it gracefully danced in my mouth before melting away. It was magical! The sticky rice was also wonderful- not something we're normally super impressed with, but his was perfect. The steamed vermicelli with bbq pork was boss as well! The custard buns were next level and the mango custard rolls were out of this world! The tea came in normal sized mugs which was a nice treat and by the end of the evening, we were stuffed, happy and had experienced the best dim sum we'd ever tasted! The bill for enough to feed 10 people...$50! I can't say enough good about this place! They earned their Michelin Star and continue to perform at a level that few can ever hope to get to. If you're on Hong King, please do yourself a favor and try this place out! You'll be oh so happy you did!

#MemoriesMonday - Remembering Hong Kong... There's Tim Ho Wan and there's also Din Tai Fung. We've had them elsewhere before and the goal was to find a local place. We stayed near the Mong Kok District and an all-day dim sum restaurant happened to be walking distance from the Prince Edward Station. One Dim Sum had a one-Michelin star rating back in the day and it has the 2013 Michelin sticker on its glass wall to prove it. There was still a wait for a party of four at around 9pm and we had to share a long table with another family when we were seated. Among those that we tried were: Steamed Sui Mai - Of course, we had to start with these traditional pork and shrimp dumplings. A bit on the smaller side, but the taste made up for it. With paper-thin wrapper and the right amount of mushroom, each piece was delicious. Juicy, too! Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow) - Another classic! The skin was not as translucent as we wanted it to be, but the shrimp was perfectly cooked. So freshly good! Steamed Vermicelli Roll with Shrimp and Leek Sprouts - One shrimp dish is never enough, so we had to order a family staple. This is the go-to dim sum of my wife and daughters. It's not because of the shrimp, but it's due to the sweet sauce that comes with it. A winner every time! Fried Dumpling with Salted Meat (Ham Sui Kok - Thanks to my Yelp friend Lyla D. from Honolulu, HI for telling me the name) - This is where the sweet meets the savory; the crispy meets the chewy. The glutinous rice dough perfectly complemented the flavor of the salted pork inside. A favorite! Steamed Beef Stomach Sheet with Scallions - The owner wanted us to try something outside the norm and we were more than eager to orderbtheir honeycomb tripe. In general, tripe has a neutral and light taste so, for us, it's the texture that makes it enjoyable. It had the right amount of chewiness and the touch of ginger and scallion was very fitting. Iced Water - There wasn't! Unless you're dining in those big, touristic restaurants, expect warm water to be served in small/medium businesses. This comes with tradition that drinking warm water is better for digestion. Our HK trip was off to a rousing start with a very satisfying dim sum experience at One Dim Sum. It was the hype of the Michelin star that brought us here, but we were ready to go to another place if it had been packed. We were fortunate that the stars were aligned that night...

The line was long but we avoided it by grabbing a ticket and coming back an hour later. Giving this place a 5 because the service is great, the restaurant is efficient and the food was excellent. The staff have been so friendly the two times I've been here. We came at midnight for a snack and the waitress was super friendly and gave us some suggestions since most of the food was already gone for the day. Second time I was here was during lunch so it was pretty busy. Surprisingly, we weren't rushed and waitress still made small talk saying that we didn't eat much.

After my long afternoon nap, I was ready to eat dinner at almost 10PM. I came here because of rave reviews from Google, and I thought I would try it. There was a short line when I arrived with stools for the people waiting. They gave me a menu and I told them I couldn't read Chinese so they gave me this photo booklet that had pictures and five different languages to translate for tourists. That was extremely helpful! I ordered the chicken feet, bbq pork rice noodle and shrimp dumplings. I thought the food was good but I like Tim Ho Wan better.

Pretty standard dishes but they were all cooked fresh. I came at 9:45am right before before the rush. Come early or else a huge line starts to form outside. I thought the beef rice noodle rolls were fantastic!

One Dim Sum was awarded a Michelin one star a number of years ago and ever since it was not uncommon to have to wait over an hour for a table and that was even after the restaurant had expanded. A lot of the customers have been tourists following their guide books but with the on going protest in Hong Kong and One Dim Sum being so close to the Prince Edward MRT station and the Mongkok Police Station, the wait has become more tolerable. We walked in on a Tuesday at 12:30pm and was able to get a table for four with no wait. The dim sum menu were all the traditional ones, no fusions and no innovation unlike other dim sum restaurants nearby. The price however, was quite reasonable. We ordered 8 dishes and our least favorite was the baked cha siu bao, it was sub par as the bun seemed not to have been cooked thoroughly. The best one was the sticky rice dumpling which had lot of ingredients with the right amount of rice steamed to perfection. The remaining 6 were good but not exactly the best I have ever had. I would go back next time I visit HK but I do not think it is worth an hour wait.

This was my first bite to eat in Hong Kong, except maybe the red bean bun that my friend Lily bought me. This place is a lot more amazing to me than I realized at the time: evening dim sum is something I have never encountered in my years of living, but I also never have lived in Hong Kong. The dim sum offerings are great, I found all my staple favorites, and more. The food here is good, I was not disappointed one bit. Siumai is my must-have at dim sum. The siumai was good and I'm not sure what the little beads are on it but it was delicious. Hargow was good too, another staple that did not disappoint. Radish cake was good, though we were confused about our sauce situation. Rice rolls were yummy, we got it with dried shrimp. Oh boy, though, the glutinous rice dumplings with pork-- I did not realize how much I love them. I've had them before at dim sum but this was the moment that made me mindful of that fact. Glutinous dumplings were deliciously chewy. Oof. I will remember to seek them out during my future dim sum adventures. Notes: They will serve you tea and it's not free; expect to pay 6 HKD a person for tea. They speak English here which is great for foreigners like myself. Cash only, like much of Hong Kong.

The dim sum here is literally out of this world!! One Dim Sum is a cute little restaurant located at a corner in Prince Edward. My family and I came on a Monday around lunchtime and it wasn't crowded at all, so there was no wait. We ordered the pork dumplings (siu mai), prawn dumplings (har gow), shrimp and leek rice roll, steamed BBQ pork buns, and chicken feet. The dishes came out one after another, and we could tell they were fresh because they were steaming hot. Everything was sooo delicious! My favorite items were the pork dumplings and prawn dumplings. Both were so full of flavor and tasted so fresh. Although it might not be the absolute BEST dim sum place in Hong Kong, it's pretty amazing! Definitely give this place a try; you won't be disappointed! :)

Ever have that moment where everyone likes a certain movie, but you're the only that didn't like (or even borderline hated) it? That's essentially the story of One Dim Sum (一點心) and I. I've given them numerous chances to win my Dim Sum loving heart over, but alas, I've come away unimpressed almost every time. I keep asking myself: -- Is it the wait? There are people lined up to the teeth here almost every day, any hour of the day. They even have a dozen chairs outside, more than I've seen for any establishment. Waiting is never an issue for me for any food worthy of hype. But at least ... there are chairs. -- Is it the fact it's notorious touristy? I've yet to see a non-Chinese picture menu with as many languages as they have it in. There is Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Thai. No love for the Spanish, but that language might as well not exist in this part of the world. -- Is it the service? The fact they push people to order even before they sit or how they rush certain patrons because the interior is tiny? Not ever a problem in my book. Inconvenient yes, but certainly not a deal breaker, especially for Chinese cuisine. It's the Dim Sum. I don't want to say I take my Dim Sum seriously but if there is one thing I can't do is subpar versions of it. I was okay with the Siu Mai (燒賣), Shrimp Dumplings (蝦餃), Egg Crisps (蛋散) and Lo Mai Gai (糯米雞) but the rest were a bit lackluster despite having them multiple times. They include the BBQ Pork Buns (叉燒包), Spare Ribs (排骨), Pork Puff Pastry (鹹水角), and Rice Noodles (腸粉). There are a few one and done (i.e. so bad I didn't want to try another) dishes, which were the most expensive ones like the Black Pepper Veal Chop (黑椒牛仔骨), Ginger Scallion Tripe (薑蔥牛栢業), and Chicken w/Mushroom + Fish Maw (匕菇棉花雞). Strangely enough, I'd still tell people to come here even if I didn't enjoy it as much. I'm probably (certainly) missing something, but I'm also not in a hurry to find out.

Great place. Expect a wait around lunch, and into the early afternoon, but worth it. They want you to order fast so take the wait time to get your order "in order" LOL. I'm a fan of the flaky type of BBQ pork buns at Tim Ho Wan and these were more of a bread bun that were great in a different way. I might have changed teams for it! Although I do prefer the THW turnip cakes. We ordered a lot for 3 people (pics attached) and everything came out quickly and with flavour. There isn't anything I wouldn't recommend. Service wise they were alright, kind even though a bit cold. But mostly a long wait, and a bit of a rush. Only reason to go down a star, and I did find the rice rolls heavy on the rice and not so much on the other stuff. But still delicious. Oh also we had to share our table which is alright but if you aren't used to it can be awkward.

Came here on a Sunday late morning, was packed but managed to snag a table for two (seated right next to another party for two at the same table haha...) Great dimsum, great tea, great service, with all the classics and more. Would highly recommend any tourist to try this spot to get their dimsum fix. (I heard from a friend who is a local that One Dim Sum is okay for HK, but there are better spots. Not sure where though...?)

The best in hongkong! Perfect way to end a tiring day at Disneyland! easy to find - just 2 mins walk from Prince Edward Station (take exit A) Food is superb. Value for money. Staff is friendly.

This is seriously the BEST dim sum restaurant I have ever been to. I will put up my dim sum resume with the best of them. Challenge me, I dare you. The wait was not too bad for us, maybe 15 min. The service I found to be decently friendly. But the fooooooood. Oh the food. Cue every song from every Zales commercial. It's magical. My favorite dish was the mango mocha/sticky rice goodness. But honestly every dish here was better than Tim Ho Wan. 100% worth the visit. End of story.

Possibly the best lunch I had on my visit to Hong Kong. This place has one Michelin star and it is obvious why. It doesn't matter how long the line is it is worth the wait. We ordered a ton of food because we wanted to try so many things that looks so incredible. My favorite was the red beat rice cakes... Sorry I can't remember exactly what they were called.

I was extremely excited to try dim sum for the first time. I am lucky enough to have had that experience in Hong Kong at One Dim Sum. Echoing the sentiments of other Yelp reviewers, this place is authentic and affordable, despite us ordering more than the average person. Especially notable dishes were the veggie dumplings and sponge cake. Service was efficient and prompt, despite our large order and many parties being served inside the small restaurant or waiting outside.

OMG!!! DIM SUM!!! This small little restaurant gets crazy packed and if you go near lunch time, expect the wait to be at least 1 hour or more long. The wait during the dinner hour is worst, however, I was craving this at 10pm yet surprisingly the restaurant was still full of patrons. I came here for dim sum of course. On this particular night, I ordered take out. The cashier was super helpful and handed me a menu and told me to take my time ordering and return it whenever I was done. Super cool. I seriously was in heaven. I flipped through the menu and literally marked one of everything. I was in the mood to eat for sure. Let's break this down, most of the dim sum dishes tasted delicious and fresh. Portions were moderate but plenty for a party of 2. My most favorite were the siu mai, sticky rice, and if you're feeling adventurous, I would recommend the chicken feet! It's quite flavorful. I was disappointed that they had ran out of the doughnut wrapped in the rice paper. Overall, the food was great and I definitely got my money's worth. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I definitely would come back my next time in Hong Kong.

If you have patience and have a great love for dim sum, perhaps the one hour plus wait at this place will be worth your time. This small little restaurant gets crazy packed and if you go near lunch time, expect the wait to be at least 1 hour or more long. Based on reviews and personal recommendations, my friends and I came here for dim sum. Once you arrive, make sure you check in with the host/hostess, get a number, grab a menu, and proceed to wait till your number is called. While waiting, make sure to look through the menu (English is included) and make your order selections off the ordering slip. When it's closer to when you'll get seated, the hostess will collect your ordering slip to help expedite the process on getting your food ready and such when you're in the restaurant. Be aware of the number calling! Many people will try to cut through and ask for number status, so don't get lost in the crowd. Man.....once all of us got a seat, it was feastin' time. Most of the dim sum dishes tasted delicious and fresh. Portions were moderate and if you're in a group of 3, it's a perfect number since a lot of items came in that amount. My most favorite are the rice rolls stuffed with something in it. Tried all the different options and each was solidly awesome. If you're adventurous, I would recommend the chicken feet! It's quite flavorful and juicy, and the abundance of skin on the feet makes it feel meatier than the average chicken feet feel. For dessert or something refreshing, I highly recommend the mango dessert. It's sweet and refreshing with the yummy real mango piece inside of it. Overall, the food was great and decently priced however, the service was a bit lacking. Right before my friends and I could finish our final bites and to figure out the bill, we were already ushered out by the staff to get up and get going. We would have been fine getting up while eating since there is a huge crowd outside, but when 2-3 people start scolding/hissing at us in Cantonese (which 2 of us don't understand at all) to leave, it's quite a turn off. Despite the great food, I didn't enjoy my experience too much with the long wait and rude staff service.

If you find yourself in Hong Kong, and you only have time to go to one dim sum restaurant, let this be the one! While visiting Hong Kong, I was able to check out several dim sum establishments (including Tim Ho Wan) but One Dim Sum easily out-shined them all. This one Michelin star rated restaurant provides extremely high quality dim sum in a no frills, small, but comfortable setting. Service was nothing to write home about however very attentive. The dishes I was able to try was the shui mai, spare ribs, shrimp dumplings (har gow), beef balls, water chestnut cake, and fried dumplings. Everything was amazing and easily the best I've ever had. The only negative I found is that there is always a wait and since there are only a few tables, they will rush you out if you finished your meal and don't order more food. Protip for visitors & tourists: Make sure to write your name down on the list and ask for a time estimate. Then while waiting check out the bird market a few blocks away.

Easily one of the best dim sum places I've ever eaten at. One Dim Sum is reasonably priced, has a Michelin star, and had no wait before noon on a weekday (but the line started forming shortly after). Take a nice morning stroll to browse the flower market and then fill your stomach here - skip waiting for Tim Ho Wan (which I haven't been to, but friends have denounced it overrated). The shrimp dumplings here are my #1 - and that's saying something since I order those at every dim sum joint. Everything is incredible, honestly you can't go wrong. I usually don't like fried offerings but the skin was SO crisp and flavorful on every dish we had. Service is great as well, do note it is communal seating. Too bad we came on our last day in HK as we surely would've made repeat visits.

The reviews on Yelp isn't too hot for this place, but it is like 4.5 stars on OpenRice. I love One Dim Sum. This was by far one of the best dim sum experiences that I have ever been a part of. The food was so fresh and hot. I enjoyed the lists of options, as compared to Tim Ho Wan in Sham Shui Po. The 35+ minute wait was well worth it for authentic dishes such as chicken feet and cheung fan. It is also a good place to practice your Cantonese. It is best to go with a party of 4 and simply order the entire menu. It came out to be roughly $12 USD per person for about 12 dishes.

Long wait (go check out the flower and bird market nearby) Cash only Photo menu (easy to point and order) No bathroom immediately available inside Friendly service Tourist friendly ~~~ Order: Deep fried Salty Dumplings Baked Char siu bun Coconut Mango Dessert (AMAZING) Shrimp rice rolls (any of the rolls would be good, but that's what I ordered) Skip: Small pork ribs with black bean sauce Chicken feet *these are my favorite dim sum plates, but they were a bit oily fatty Overall, this place is a simple dim sum place that's definitely over-hyped. I would say skip this place if you're in a group and just order to-go. If you're flying solo, I would say go for it. I would only return for those delicious coconut mango treats, sooo good! Happy Dim-sum everyone!

I was so excited to try a Michelin Star dim sum restaurant and I was not disappointed! We went at 10pm and the place was almost full. We were able to be seated quickly, but the food itself took a little longer to come out. The dim sum tasted extremely fresh, and flavorful without being too salty. It was cheap too! They accept cash only.

If you're looking for some authentic dim sum in Hong Kong, this is the place to be. There's always a line out the door, so try to get there early, otherwise they may run out of some of the options. The best one I can recommend is the chicken feet with bean sauce, and also the rice wrapped in lotus leaf.

This is my favorite dim sum restaurant in the world.... The restaurant is small with about 30 seats in a modern décor. It was very comfortable as opposed to the madness found in larger places. The lighting was excellent and I hope you enjoy my photos... Although their dim sum selection is smaller than other restaurants, everything is at a higher level. Nothing is in-your-face "amazing" like an overrated Tim Ho Wan roast pork bun, but the basics of dim sum are totally mastered here...from the tightly wrapped dumplings to the light curry flavored sauce which allows the squid to shine... The managers and waitresses are great as well. They're friendly and speak to you in a non-rushed manner. They create a relaxed environment for you to enjoy your dim sum... It was awarded a Michelin star in 2012, but unfortunately did not retain it. This is not an entirely bad thing though as sometimes Michelin stars bring too much chaos to an establishment such as the environment at Tim Ho Wan in SSP. The overall experience of dining at One Dim Sum is superior in my book despite not currently having the star. After all, it's about how you personally enjoy dim sum as opposed to letting the Michelin Guide decide for you...
