Reviews for Tim Ho Wan - Waikiki in Honolulu, HI

Having grown up eating dim sum, this restaurant is average. There are many mom and pop dim sum places that are as good or... better than this. Good selection for tourists like me and those who crave dim sum. Service was fast and attentive. No waitlines. There are no carts. You order from a menu with a pencil marking what you want.

A popular dim sum place in the Waikiki area that is based on the Michelin star restaurant in other parts of the world. The dim... sum is a bit pricey but the dim sum is delicious nonetheless give it a try and see how you like it. The wait was a bit long toget in but the food was definitely worth it in the end. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the milk tea but it was one ofthe best milk teas that we've had in Oahu. Read more

Finally stopped in for a quick bite and no line, although nice crowd. Quick, painless, friendly service. Growing up in Hawaii, ... you got the melting pot of ethnic foods, especially, Chinese, and we all have our neighborhood favorites. Being a Michelinwinner, you just have to try it, right? I really liked the staff and service. The food was really good and you try to taste thatsecret ingredient that makes it what it is. I admit, it all tasted great, especially the eggplant, which was different. Preparation seemed fresh which was probably the differentiator. No dim sum cart here. It wasn't overwhelming, but notcommonplace either. Very tasty, very "fresh". Give it a try. I'll be back to try more of a very simple, but diverse menu. ?????? Read more

Absolutely delicious food in the beautiful Royal Hawaiian Center shopping center. I love Chang fen and the shrimp here was... fresh, the spicy dumplings were also perfectly seasoned. the milk tea was also super legit, just the right amount of sugar andmilk - with a nice grass jelly. I have not been to the one in NY but imagine this one has a shorter line. Read more

I finally visited as this was one of the places I have been wanting to try for dim sum. It?s usually pretty busy but when I... visited the wait was very short for one person. Their menu was smaller than I expected but still decent with variety of types offood. I tried their steamed rice roll with pork as well as their spicy dumplings. Food was prepared fresh and it came up prettyfast. Post dishes were pretty decent. Pork had a little smell to it but it was overall fine but I would like to try minced beefnext visit. Pricing is decent for what you get. Service was mediocre but I would return again someday. Read more

High prices, but they do offer a kamaaina discount. Authentic dim sum. I was a little worried when I saw the dark soy sauce, but... everything was perfect and delicious. I had the sticky rice in lotus leaf, chicken feet, and spicy wonton. Service was friendlyand helpful. Plus, it's almost impossible to find dim sum for dinner. I would definitely go again. Read more

The pork buns are one of the best food items worldwide. Same quality as in the Hong Kong establishment. The other dim sum are... fine, but a little expensive. You won't ever be disappointed by the pork buns though! Read more

I have been to Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong and a few other places around the world and I found the one in Hong Kong to be tasty and... a good value. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the Honolulu location. The portions are the same size as otherlocations, but when you charge $7 for Sui Mei and it only tastes average, then that really does not meet your expectations. Allthe food was okay, but for the price, I would have expected a lot more. I honestly would tell you to find another Dim Sumplace in Chinatown and you would get more value than coming here. However, if you just want to say you have been to a Tim HoWan, then it should be fine and expensive. Read more
