Tim Ho Wan

This is the second Tim Ho Wan I’ve been to and it’s just as amazing as the one in Honolulu. All of the dim sum is wonderful, but the pork buns are the most unique (they’re sweet and savory in the perfect way) and the cucumber salad is the best side dish. Don’t forget to enjoy it with some jasmine tea! It really makes the experience better.

In A Nutshell: -This was the 2nd Tim Ho Wan location I've eaten at. -Compared to the Vegas location, it's not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye for obvious reasons, but it is very clean & bright which is good. -The service here is very, very good, kind & attentive! -The menu options are standard & the food quality is superb. -Every item ordered was very tasty, which is why this dim sum spot always ranks high among other foodies. Overall, I really enjoyed eating at this location in Irvine.

Came here for lunch on New Year's Day and was seated immediately. The servers were personable and friendly. I did have to call them a couple of times by raising my hand to get to-go boxes in my check. My favorite dishes are the shrimp rice rolls, the daikon cake, and the lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice. I had taro sago dessert and the taro was just a little undercooked. A little crunchier than I would like it. All in. All in all, a good Dim sum place. Very nice decor and quite spacious. Doesn't compare to the actual one in Hong Kong though

Tim Ho Wan is an interesting order slip dimsum restaurant for those who want dim sum for dinner. For those who expect push cart dimsum, this isn't one but if you're craving shumai or har gao, at least you can indulge yourself. The chicken feet were "ok" taste wise but needs improvement in vendors as the feet were smaller compared to standard dimsum restaurants in the area. What I did enjoy we're the bbq buns and the sticky rice as they were pretty good to chew into in taste and presentation. Overall, if I'm in the mood for dimsum for dinner, I'd come to order pick up instead of dining inside.

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch last Saturday. We didn’t wait too long (about 10 min). The food here is pretty good. I liked that the plates we ordered were perfectly seasoned and it wasn’t too oily or salty. We highly recommend the Braised Brisket, noodles and the Steamed Pork Dumplings. They also have a happy hour from 3-6pm that we’ll likely try out in the next few weeks.
