Easily Worst tim ho wan I have been. Completely nothing tim ho wan quality. They should put the menu on window so people can see from outside. Only realised when i sat down the menu is different but thought I give a chance and it was horrible idea. If you ever been to tim ho wan you will be disappointed.

Visiting stateside, maybe will try elsewhere next time,
Staff was...impressively rude? Waitress acted like we owed her a personal debt anytime we asked for...anything, including ordering?
And w. the limited menu you'd think the few courses they offered would at least be good but...."underwhelming" comes to mind

I don't understand the hype. All the items I ordered were fine, same or even a bit worst than the dim sum places in Chinatown for double the price and wait time. Honestly nothing special or unique.

As a dim sum lover, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, the food was just average. Some of the dumplings lacked freshness, and the flavors didn’t stand out. The service was attentive, which I appreciated, and the atmosphere had more of a Hong Kong-style café (cha chaan teng) feel—simple but clean. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not a place I’d go out of my way to revisit.

The food was good and plentiful, good tea and fine service. There was a wait but also seemed like plenty of tables. Quick service and fine for lunch, a bit underground but well lit.

I can see why this dim sum spot is so popular. The food is incredibly flavorful, with a great variety of dishes that truly stand out. The quality is definitely noticeable, and you can taste the care and attention to detail in every bite. That said, the price is definitely on the higher side compared to other dim sum places in the city. But, given that it has a Michelin star, I guess you’re paying for that elevated experience. Still, it’s worth trying if you’re in the mood for something special! Just be prepared to pay a bit more.

You can't go wrong with the rice rolls. Pork ribs are also juicy and soft. Turnip cake is crispy on the outside. Also saw a lot of people get the buns The dessert custard buns were made fresh. They were great but they took a while to come out.

This is from a dinning experience years ago, so everything could already have been changed. Take this review as a reference, but please don't rely on it.
1) I've received a bun with an insect on it. I reported, and the server took the dish back to kitchen. Later the server came back and said "it was just black stuff from the flour". Luckily, I have taken this photo, which shows the details of legs and tentacles before the server took away the dish. An occasionally found insect was not a big deal to me. I feel unsatisfied because they tried to deny. 2) I have received undercooked (partially raw) steamed pork ribs. I did not bother to report, as I was tired of restaurant's attitude.

The food was great! Overall service was ok but one of our dishes didn’t come out for a while and when asked they said they were still working on it. We went to another location later and that dish came out really fast so they obviously forgot it. Overall really recommend this place and the BBQ Pork Buns!
Don't be fooled by reviews! I think people who write reviews saying it's delicious have never tasted the authentic taste. I used to eat there often when I lived in Taiwan, so I looked forward to going here. The taste of all the items was below average, and I feel like it would be better to make them at home. Anyone who knows the authentic taste will understand. The staff were also unfriendly, served the food without saying a word, and the food wasn't delicious, so I left feeling bad.

Having visited several Tim Ho Wan restaurants in Australia this was a very disappointing experience. The food arrived cold and the servers were just not interested. It seemed the dishes had been prepared earlier and lacked in taste and flavour as well.
