👍👍 Really fun dim sum spot for eating pork buns that looked like pigs. My son had a great time but it's a cool setting with more items like Choi and dumplings and friend rice with sweet and sour pork. Would come here again! People often mention buns, great, service, dishes, good,

    We enjoyed the food but service was horrible. Considering the price of each dish the food was nice but not amazing. We also felt rushed out at 9:30 pm even though the restaurant closed at 10 pm. Staff came up to us twice to ask if we were finished, and by 9:40 pm they started clearing our table even though we still had 4 dishes unfinished. Staff were more concerned about going home early than their customers. We decided to get a box to takeaway what was left over. We ordered the set menu for two and added crab roe rice and pigeon. Considering the number of dishes we ordered for 2 people it’s not appropriate to rush us out after just over and hour. Plus we spent over $400HKD per head on food and drinks over dinner, considering the cost and location I’d expect much better service from the staff and not be rushed out 20 minutes before closing.

    Let that lovely light DIM SUM! This place is SO fun! Totally agree with the other Yelpers, this is a great spot to take foodie pictures! Unfortunately, we sat right under this bright hideous light. So my pictures didn't turn out that great, but definitely a super fun place for any dim sum lover! The restaurant is gorgeous, modern and very hip. We came in on a Sunday morning and should have made a reservation. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes, but overheard others in line say they've had to wait hours! We had... Pineapple Puffs Spicy 1000 Year Old Egg Spicy Turnip Cake BBQ Pork Buns Steamed Shrimp Noodle Roll Chicken & Vegetable Buns Shrimp & Pork Shumai Rainbow Shrimp Dumplings Vegetable Dumplings Sticky Rice Dumplings While everything was good. It was definitely overpriced. You are paying for the art and design of the food. The only things I didn't care for was the steamed shrimp noodle roll and shumai. The noodle roll was too soft and over steamed. The shumai tasted too porky for my liking. I had a hard time keeping it down after swallowing. It almost tasted like raw meat. I REALLY wanted to try the Green Tea Custard Buns which were on the menu, but for some reason unavailable when we came in. They didn't run out, just didn't serve them anymore. Boo! The service is MEH. Definitely a once in a lifetime fun experience!

    Bit pricy, but the food looks and tastes good. The food has a mild Chinese herb/spice taste/smell which makes this place great for those visiting HK for the first time. My only complaint is that if you want a cup of water(not the boiling hot water) the only option they insist on you is HKD$50 bottled water.

    Cute birdie pineapple tarts in the cage which signifies Hongkong’s yumcha tradition. Dimsum dishes are mediocre, only the sesame ball is worth mentioning.

    The Dim Sum food is a little more expensive than elsewhere, but worth the money. The food is delicious, not too salty or too sweet and lovingly prepared. Our children had a great time.

  • 4/5 Desmond W. 7 months ago on Google
    Great skills on the dimsum, and they taste really good too. Would come back and recommend this to others. One thing for the management to improve, would be great if all the dim sum sifu wore a mask.

⭐️ Overall rating: 5/5
🍽 Recommendation: hot custard buns
💁 Service: Good
💰 £30 per person
📍 Location: Nan Fung Tower, 2/F, Nan Fung Place,, 173 Des Voeux Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong
The restaurant is located in the central of Hong Kong and it is crowded with people during lunch time. The staff is kind and helpful.
The dim sum in Hong Kong is better than what I have in London for sure. In addition, baked crispy pineapple puff is like birds and it tastes brilliant. Custard buns with salty eggs sauce are good! Please book in advance, or it is hard to find a table.

    If you want a more modern take on traditional Cantonese cuisine of ‘yum cha’ which literally translates to ‘drink tea’, this is the place ! You have the authentic experience of ticking the options you want on a piece of paper and I brought my friend from Greece here for his first ever canto experience ! We had slightly bitter soy sauce marinated bok choy, shrimp cutlets, fried rice and these super cute orange custard buns which was surprisingly very filling! The price range is definitely A LOT more expensive than your typical yum cha places but if you want a more modern looking ambiance, this is definitely the place!

    Cute Instagramable dim sum dishes, especially the lava bun. Wide variety of dim sum items to choose from. Got to give them A+ for creative presentation. Service is efficient and friendly.

  • 4/5 Vincent L. 2 years ago on Google
    A dim sum restaurant with trendy design and decoration. Food is delicious with more colourful and fancy touches than traditional ones. Those cute cartoon-like buns will love by the kids.

  • 5/5 Venus C. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute, kitschy alternative to your usual dim sum experience. Quality & taste surprisingly better than expected for a place known for being “instagrammable”. No need to chase after dim sum carts, you can order all dishes by pen and paper. Service is attentive and easy. Especially enjoyed the salted egg yolk buns and prawn rice noodle roll.

    YUMMY dim sum! It was Halloween event so the custard buns were really cute. It is not too crowded on a weekday night. Nice place!

    Good food, good space, great service! The perfect place for a lazy weekend. The staff are super nice and friendly. Service is fast, and the ambiance is a splash of cool vibe in your Hong Kong Yum Cha! Will definitely come back again!

    Had the set dinner there. For $888/p, min 4 person. Cute name for the dishes but taste average. Nothing memorable. Service was attentive. There are other places with better food for the same price. Note: - Fried rice was disappointing. It was dried and hard. Taste is bland. - Dessert was simple. Just a different version of 楊枝甘露. A rather disappointment to end the dinner.
