Tim Ho Wan Central Hong Kong Branch, Michelin-Recommended Deliciousness

If you’re visiting Hong Kong and want to try Michelin-level dim sum at an affordable price, don’t miss Tim Ho Wan Central Branch, located under the IFC Mall building near Hong Kong Station, very convenient to get to.

This small but popular restaurant is almost always crowded. It’s recommended to go in the late morning to avoid long waits. The highlight is the Baked BBQ Pork Bun, with thin crispy dough and fragrant, sweet, and savory BBQ pork filling—absolutely delightful. Follow it with shrimp har gow, which has firm, fresh, bouncy shrimp, served hot, along with the lava custard bun that melts in your mouth.

The prices are reasonable compared to the quality, but the atmosphere is a bit rushed, with narrow seating and fast service typical of authentic Hong Kong style. If you expect luxury, this might not be the place, but if you want to experience authentic, high-quality dim sum on a budget, this is a must-visit.
