Michelin-starred dim sum chain known for baked BBQ pork buns
"Dim sum is an all-day affair at Tim Ho Wan, where Michelin-starred fast-casual service delivers classics made to order; standout items for me were the baked barbecued pork buns and pan-fried turnip cake, and for something old-school try the steamed rice paper rolls with pig's liver. This quick-service spot is best for solo diners or small groups since seating is first-come, first-served, and takeout is perfect for an alfresco lunch on the IFC gardens when the weather’s nice." - Kate Springer, Janice Leung Hayes
"This globally-renowned dim sum chain’s first Texas outpost in Katy serves all of the dim sum favorites, including steamed pork dumpling siu mai, baked barbecue pork buns, and steamed shrimp dumplings. Its braised beef brisket dish, with tendon and noodles, is a flavor bomb of gelatinous goodness. Save room for dessert — the sweet red bean dessert is a Cantonese classic, or opt for French toast with custard, “Tim Ho Wan” style." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Tim Ho Wan is known as the “world’s most inexpensive Michelin-starred restaurant” and it opened an outpost in Katy Asian Town in 2022. Get classic dim sum dishes like har gow, shu mai, braised chicken feet and steamed pork ribs. The restaurant’s most popular item by far is the char sui buns, meaty buns with a baked, slightly sweet and crispy shell. End the meal with lava custard balls. The expansive dining room has comfortable booth seating along its perimeter; an attached bar offers a sportier vibe." - Minh Truong
"Internationally renowned dim sum powerhouse Tim How Wan has planted its flag in the Houston area with the opening of a Katy location. An order of the famed barbecue pork buns is obligatory, but entrees like sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf provide layers of flavor to pair with dumplings. With pillowy shu mai, har gow, and plenty of rotating specials, the chain’s dumpling selection encompasses many flavors that make Chinese cuisine shine. End a meal with an order of osmanthus jelly loaded with earthy goji berries." - Lane Gillespie
