"An outpost of an internationally known, inexpensive Michelin-starred concept serving dim sum; it brings high-quality Cantonese small plates and wallet-friendly dim sum options to the neighborhood." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.

"I'm very much looking forward to Tim Ho Wan's dim sum." - Amy McCarthy
"I miss Tim Ho Wan and hope the Palms reopening will bring back this favorite dim-sum spot that I and others frequently enjoyed before closures." - Susan Stapleton
"I noted that Tim Ho Wan was among the notable dining names added to the Palms as part of its $690 million renovation, rounding out the resort’s culinary offerings while the property has been closed since March 17 with no set reopening timeline." - Susan Stapleton
"Made part of a roughly 50-location chain that traces back to a Michelin-starred original, I found the Irvine strip-mall outpost defined by long lines, fast service and an ambiance that feels “more Cinnabon than banquet hall.” It doesn’t quite mirror the fun and energy of top dim sum houses, but as a well-trafficked, inexpensive pit stop it succeeds: the conceit—fast service, a cheap check and well-executed food—plays out here, especially on the steamed and non-fried side of the menu. Rice rolls are properly addictive and the turnip cakes are torqued with dried shrimp, making this a reliable, accessible and delicious option for dim sum." - Farley Elliott
