Diners will be greeted by its old-school and simple design philosophy – from the open concept kitchen to adorning dim sum accented baskets on the walls.
This tradition and simplicity extends to the food, which utilises elementary condiments and uncomplicated ingredients in its dishes, evoking and recreating the golden era of the old Silk Road teahouses where dim sum is said to have its origins.
Today, customers need not journey quite as far to enjoy the award-winning Hong Kong dim sum in a more modern setting. Tim Ho Wan is renowned for being a modern representation in its service and ambience, while retaining the authentic DNA of traditional Hong Kong dim sum.

Tim Ho Wan was started by Chef Mak Kwai Pui, formerly of the prestigious three Michelin starred Lung King Heen restaurant in Hong Kong’s Four Seasons Hotel, alongside Chef Leung Fai Keung.
In 2009, the two chefs joined forces to open their first 20-seater top dim sum restaurant in Mongkok. A year later, they would earn their own one Michelin star. More branches opened, each earning its own Michelin star.
The accolades for serving superb food at affordable prices soon followed. Indeed, Tim Ho Wan is often called the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant in the world!
