Reviews for Hong Kong Tea House in Salt Lake City, UT
Easily some of the best dim sum I've had, and some of the best Chinese food in Utah! We visited for lunch on a Saturday in the... early afternoon. This restaurant is in a really sketchy spot, with a huge homeless presence around. Be mindful of where you parkand don't cross the street until the block the restaurant is on. The restaurant is simply appointed and cozy. We were seatedimmediately and the restaurant was about half full. The dim sum menu is served until 3PM. They have a wide variety of optionsacross several price ranges. You mark off the dim sum dishes you want on a paper which they bring back to the kitchen. Servicewas quick but it took a while for food to come out. Once it started to come out, it was consistently served. We also ordered ared bean moon cake which a server brought around the restaurant to sell. I wish I had known it was $10 in advance but it wasincredible. The tea was good as well. The prices are fair. Servers are authentic so don't expect gushing kindness. I'll let thephotos do the talking for the dim sum. Everything was very authentic and amazing. The beef noodle roll was probably my favorite.

Good dim sum place but on Sunday they were very understaffed. They only had two servers for a busy restaurant day. Dim sum is... served until 3 pm every day. I come from Seattle and the prices here are very fair. Each dish is about 3-6 dollars (unless youget a specialty one). I liked how each one was varied and you could tell they were homemade. The tea was good! The dishes wereflavorful, but because they were so understaffed it was hard to get items that we needed. They took forever to refill our waterand the whole meal took 1.5 hours because it took 30 minutes to seat us. This is also a bit of a sketchy neighborhood. Thefront door has wooden plywood on one side and there are a lot of homeless people around this area. The food was great, If theyget the correct amount of staffing I think they would be a 5 star place. Read more
Absolutely fantastic, we did the dim sum and must had almost everything on the menu. This is bar none the best Chinese food I've... had in a state that isn't on the coast. The live giant clam was delicious, and the seafood was excellent quality given the abovelocation of this joint. I'm definitely going to be coming back next time I blow through Salt Lake! Read more
The place got really busy shortly after we came in at 11am. The food is great and has good flavour. The portion is medium,... wouldn't say it is big from a Chinese perspective. The prices are also reasonable. The only negative thing is there was only onewaitress, so the service was slow. I can understand it is not easy to hire in the current pandemic situation, so this doesn'tbother me. The waitress was working as hard as she can, so I congratulate her for the efforts. Read more
Had a really good lunch here at an amazing lunch special price. It is approx $7-$8 for a complete lunch. The Kung Pao was pretty... good. Looking forward to giving the place another go in the near future. Read more
This is a pretty good establishment for dim sum! We were in the area and decided to try this out. We ordered Chinese broccoli... with oyster sauce, pork dumplings, and some crispy noodles. They were all pretty good and I would definitely come back for thefood as well as the service! The food is pretty authentic as far as dim sum goes! Read more
My first time in this place was a good experience. I met a friend here and talked some business. The staff was very patient with... the time that we were in the restaurant. We were there around 4:00 so we just ordered a couple of appetizers and some tea. Theyrecommended their special house tea. I think that was a good suggestion the tea was nice. I had hope to try the dim sum but wewere too late. I did not know that dim sum is available only until 3:00. So my wife and I went on Saturday and specifically forthe intent to eat dim sum. I had spent some time in the past in Hong Kong, the dim sum here is just like I remember from HongKong. I would highly recommend going before 3:00 and getting dim sum from this place. They are not open on Monday so know thatup front. I would also recommend getting the house special tea to go with your dim sum. When I was there with my friend he hadthe chow mein and he really liked it I tasted it as well and it was good. I ordered salted fish and chicken fried rice it wasnice as well. If you don't know what salted fish is, you might want to stay away or have someone explain to you what this is. Itis an unusual taste. But I like it and I would recommend it to those who have a familiarity with salted fish. My wife and I arealready talking about going back and trying more of the dim sum menu. Overall a great experience. The rest rooms were clean aswas the restaurant itself. Read more
Excellent service! Delicious food. My friends loved their house green tea, and I got the boba, which was like a strawberry... smoothie. The only issue is trying to find parking. Read more
