He made the decision to open his own restaurant, serving quality dim sum at really affordable prices. The mastermind behind the restaurant is Chef Mark Pui Gor, who used to be the chef of the Four Season’s Three Michelin Starred restaurant. Tables are pushed together and you will be sitting literally elbow to elbow with strangers, but the food is definitely worth it!

It’s a very short walk from Langham Place and easy to miss if you do not know what you are looking for. After a little shuffling, we decided to check them out on Sunday morning for their dim sum.Ī little research online indicated this was not a neighborhood secret – lines form sometimes an hour before the 10am opening and waits can easily reach three+ hours! We were eating a very late multi-course dinner so we decided to take our chances and go around noon since we wouldn’t be hungry in the morning. Ironically, we were staying at our beloved Langham Place in Mongkok again so we were quite interested in adding this one Michelin star restaurant to our list. A couple days prior to our departure, Andrew Zimmern tweeted about the best dumplings he’s ever had at Tim Ho Wan in Mongkok. For our most recent trip to Hong Kong last weekend, we had decided to concentrate on a few Michelin-starred restaurants that had been on our list.
