Wow~!!I have lived in Hongkong for 11years .during I living there, I enjoyed dim sums, wontons, and chicken feets ,dumplings so often. Hongkongers usually call them "Yam cha." It costs very expensive to enjoy "Yam cha"in beautiful restaurant. Your video reminds me of the days I was there. I also like Sichuanese spicy sauce! I recommend you to try to eat Sichuanese noodle "Tam zai"! 👍👍👍

I stumbled upon the Tim Ho Wan in Lower Eastside Manhattan years ago - 2018? 2017? It was really great! I live near Irvine and have been to this one 2-3 times? It is not bad, could be much better - but the Manhattan location blew my socks off. Maybe I was just hungry? Nah. Will I keep going? Now and then. This is the former site of Capitol Seafood.

I ate at Tim Ho Wan a few times in various countries, every time feels too sweet for me. Still pretty good and the mouthfeel for these baos is the best in LA. But I wish it would be a bit less sweet especially their chashu bao.

Some Michelin stars are given due to how clean the bathroom is, the food Is above average, there are better dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong that weren’t listed in the guide, ask a local where to go

I would be surprised if this particular Tim Ho Wan's matches up well, with its flagship dim sum place in Hong Kong, that got the Michelin star. I mean. This looks like a dim sum place for white people or Asian Americans, who 'like' dim sum, but feel they want to 'shower' after the experience. I gotta say. Looks pretty weak. You can do the whole - we CAter to more 'high end' clients thingy, without losing what makes dim sum special. Every little plate looks like 'fusion' cooking. East meets West. And realistically, east meets west has never been done well by ANYone. Not that dim sum cannot be made to appeal to richer people. I've seen photos of dim sum at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. It's what people want. My parents spent a few days there. Anyway. Chinese Americans LOVE to talk about how awful Chinese restaurants were in America, a few decades ago. Back then, though, it didn't make any pretense about being 'fake' Chinese. This franchise is a total scam.

I liked this up on Yelp and it abysmal ratings, maybe it’s because they’re comparing it to Panda Express. I’m SHOCKED you eat at Panda. I can’t STAND Panda, so nasty. Lost a modicum of respect for you, not very rock star. But still love your videos! (But stop eating at Panda Express)

Because of this video, I drove 40 mile from LA county to OC, but very very disappointed. I ordered deep fried spring roll, chicken feet, baked bbq pork bun, steamed egg cake and shrimp dumplings and steamed pork spare rib with black bean. 1.deep fired spring rolls are too oil, , 2 chicken feets are not only not in traditional way, but also a wrong way to make this dish, bbq pork bun, shrimp dumplings and pork spare rib also bad. the on;y dish I would say OK is the egg cake. Even the House TEA, In Hong Kong, it is not for dim sum place,it is for cafe restaurant.it is a cheap tea, and people use it for clean their chopstick and bowls before they dine
