If you want an authentic dim sum experience, look no further than City Hall Maxim’s Palace. Elegant it is not, but there’s definitely an old-world charm to the cacophonous chattering, tightly packed tables and trolley-style service. If you’re a novice, don’t worry. Just walk up to the roving trolley ladies and check out the dishes on offer. Aim to arrive early as this place fills up fast!

In 2009, Chefs Mak Kwai Pui and Leung Fai Keung partnered up to open Tim Ho Wan, a modest 20-seater dim sum restaurant in Mong Kok. It acquired its first Michelin star just one year later, propelling the establishment to gastronomic superstardom. Known informally as the cheapest Michelin star restaurant in the world, this no-frills establishment now has multiple locations across Hong Kong and South East Asia.

Perched on the 102nd floor of Ritz-Carlton Hotel Hong Kong, Tim Lung Heen is the highest dim sum restaurant on our list, and perhaps the most expensive. But it’s worth every cent. This one Michelin star eatery serves top-notch dishes crafted from fantastically sourced ingredients. The panoramic views of Victoria Harbour further elevate the experience. Don’t forget to try their signature barbecue Iberian pork char siu.

Located inside Hong Kong Disneyland, this is a fantastic dim sum option for families with little kids who are visiting the amusement park. Remember to book your reservation as far in advance as possible or you may find it’s fully booked. But if you’re lucky enough to nab a table, prepare to enjoy Disney-themed specialities such as Mickey’s Seafood Glutinous Pancakes and Baymax Buns.
