★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The usual expected quality of Tim Ho Wan, food is delicious and is served pretty quickly. The shop isn't very big and there's usually a long line, so it's good to go mid-afternoons when you can usually get in quicker

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went as a group of 3 around 6PM on a Sunday night. You definitely want to plan ahead as we waited in line for roughly an hour. They do have a take-out section right outside with seating and tables, but the weather was too cold to comfortably eat and definitely not enough time to enjoy the food before it goes cold.
I grew up eating dim sum for brunch so I know what good dim sum is. Tim Ho Wan is ok, but after factoring in the cost - definitely not worth it. We ordered 19 dishes (definitely over ordered but thankfully they had takeout boxes) and our total came out to ¥14,000 which is absolutely crazy! Apparently they had 2 additional taxes : service charge and VAT which are both 10%. Don't get me wrong, service was outstanding. We got our food very quickly and they were fast to remove the empty plates on our table.
However, I can't justify "just ok" dim sum at this pricing. The steamed rice roll didn't have enough shrimp in it and the turnip cake didn't have enough turnip in it. If I order turnip cake, I want it to be stuffed with turnip. I probably had 1 or 2 tiny turnip pieces per bite which is definitely lacking.
Also, in terms of condiments, they didn't have chili oil which is baffling to me. They did have a spicy chili sauce - kinda like a sriracha with chili flakes, but no chili oil. They did have Worcestershire though which was surprising as I don't think I've ever been to a dim sum place with that offered.
If you've been exposed to good dim sum and currently live in the Tokyo area and want to have some nostalgic food memories, go here but don't let your nostalgia overtake you when it comes to ordering. If you've never had amazing dim sum before, you're not going to find it here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overall, you can taste real Hong Kong Dim Sum. BBQ pork cheong fan, shrimp and chive dumplings and braised veg were OK.
We also ordered these dishes which were expected to be better (I’m a spoiled dim sum eater):
Har gau (shrimp dumplings) - there were no bamboo shoots inside. The crispness was not there.
Siu mai (pork and mushroom dumplings) - the pork and mushrooms were blended too much. There is no mouth feel.
Spring rolls - ordinary. Any restaurant can do this.
Bean curd sheet rolls - The bean curd sheet was fried in batter. That’s not how it’s done in Hong Kong. There were too many spring onion bits and not enough shrimp chunks. There was no oil absorbent sheet underneath.
Steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf - the taste was good but the dried sausage is not Hong Kong/Guangdong style. There was no salted duck egg yolk and dried mushrooms inside. A bit disappointing.
Deep dried milk - it’s alright but should have been put on a oil absorbent sheet
Onsanthemum goji berry jelly - the jelly texture was too hard. it was placed on a plate in advance then chilled and taken out straight from the fridge. One can tell when touching the plate.
This sort of quality can be found in any ordinary dim sum restaurant chain in Hong Kong. Shame that it doesn’t stand out much. No wonder why saving costs made them lose the Michelin star.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I enjoyed the dim sum, not bad price either but can’t say it was worthy of a one star Michelin! We booked a table over the phone but didn’t warn us that they’ll be a charge of 4,000 yen and when we pointed it out, the manager completely refused to believe us saying that they did (my friend is fluent in Japanese) and left no room for discussion. Almost took one star out of my review because of that but leaving it as it is due to the food and table service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We finally tried Tim Ho Wan; lured in by the long lines we almost always see in front of the restaurant. We left feeling like the food was fine, but probably not worth the wait.
While we loved the shrimp dumplings and shaomai, we found the rest of the dim sum to be very average (and I strong advise non-Chinese to not order the rice porridge, which I found inedible). Further, the atmosphere of the restaurant is more of a cafeteria, than a Michelin starred restaurant. Very good for lunch; not great for dinner.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went for dinner last night. Was seated quickly, ordered quickly, served quickly. All in all it was a fine experience. The baked char siu buns are great, maybe a little sweet. The har gau were good. The shrimp toast was just a piece of bread with a shrimp body fried to it; I wouldn't order it again. The spare ribs in black bean sauce were pretty good but the rice they came on was bland. I didn't have any interest in finishing it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Service is OK but food is not quite high level as they advertised. Congee is very small portion, tea is very tasteless but dark colour. They charge 10% for service and tea.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Taste great, just like hong kong dim sum! There is plenty of outdoor seating right in front of the takeout window. Much faster to grab takeout and just eat there, than to wait for a table to dine in.
Good variety of the classic dim sum dishes. A bit pricey but given the central location not surprised.
