Dumplings, steamed rice rolls and Siu Mai were very fresh but you can do this in other restaurants without waiting 90 minutes for it. So just order that to go and skip the lines. Their signature BBQ pork buns were on point. No Har Gow today for some reason, it was crossed out of the menu, no sesame balls, and the chef's special shrimp rice was so lightly seasoned that I thought they just put shrimp on white rice and called it a day. The food was good but not as excellent as I had remembered in HK. We had chosen our food on the notepad so the orders went in right away and came out a few minutes later. So far it's comparable to the HK experience. It's discouraging to see you're number 44 in line and wonder if you'll ever make it. 70-90 minute wait we were told by the electronic waiting system tied to Yelp. this highly anticipated California location. I waited two hours to get in and felt it was well-worth it. The food was excellent and the hype was worth it. The original Tim Ho Wan in Hong Kong won its Michelin star for the right reasons. Just a good feelings to eat something that made by hands from here. I highly recommend everyone loves dim sum should try THW at least once, far or near. Yes, dim sum can be freezed and shipped from China to US. Maybe just a few dishes were mass produced from China like other dim sum places in China town. I think their dim sum mostly made here by hands in the kitchen.

THeir known dish is the crunchy hot flavorful, a must have 'baked pork bun'. It is mainly serves dim sum, and no cart like other traditional dim sum places. Its environment is different from a typical Chinese ones. The restaurant is bright, airy, and clean looking. We arrived right at the door opened in Irvine, no line. My hotel basically facing its place, any time of the day, i always saw a long line wait to buy. When I was in Japan, its small location just sells only the baked pork bun. Tim Ho Wan is a very known dim sum internationally.
