About this spot
This cramped Wan Chai staple serves the city's most famous dim sum dumplings, specifically the crispy-edged char siu pork and the savory fish ball wontons that define its reputation. Locals flock here for the chaotic energy and the sheer volume of high-quality food served at a fraction of typical Hong Kong prices.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Expect to wait 30-45 minutes in line, but skip the queue by ordering online via their WeChat mini-program if available.
- Order the 'set menu' (tong sui) rather than individual items to ensure you get a balanced selection of dumplings and rice.
- Bring cash or have your Alipay/WeChat Pay ready immediately upon seating, as card terminals can be slow during peak hours.
